Experiments were carried out to study the seed transmission of SMV and to identify the resistant sources through screening of 30 promising soybean genotypes obtained from different sources under natural infections conditions in between 2000 and 2001. Indirect-ELISA was performed against TRSV, TMV, CPMV, CMV, BBSV, BBTMV and SMV in leaf materials, both from healthy and diseased plant materials and the results showed that the seeds and the plants in the field were free from those 6 viruses. The highest seed transmission was found in Gaurab (15.07%) followed by G-2120 and the lowest (1.5%) seed transmission was found in TG-893 followed by BS-32, CM and AGS-129. Seed mottling was found related to seed transmission. No disease incidence was found in AGS-129 but there were seed mottling (1.25%). On the other hand, genotype AGS- 160 was free from mottled seeds but produced infected seedlings. Mosaic symptom became apparent 15 days after sowing (DAS), highest at 60 DAS and disappear after 90 DAS. Seeds from seed lot containing up to 20% mottled symptom could not hamper production. Screening of 30 soybean genotypes based on the natural infections revealed that AGS-129 was identified as resistant and grading 1, 10 were identified as moderately resistant (MR) considered as grading 3 and the remaining genotypes were susceptible (S) and moderately susceptible (MS) considered as grading 7 and 5, respectively. The 10 genotypes viz. CM, BS-32, ACAGS-154, G-2261, AGS-129, Durga, Williams, AGS-160, EC-1178 and PR-164 could be used for further study to locate resistant genes against soybean mosaic virus and varietal improvement in breeding purpose.\u0000Asian J.

Most of the youngsters are the potential voluntary and replacement blood donors in every society where students comprise significant amount. By knowing their perceptions about blood donation and by encouraging them to donate blood regularly will help to fulfill the demand of safe blood. Therefore, the research aimed to know the perceptions of university students towards blood donation and to explore the factors influencing their willingness to donate blood. Using convenient sampling, the data were collected from 201 current students of Jahangirnagar University through a well-structured questionnaire. Results show, the blood donation rate is quite good among students of Jahangirnagar University of Bangladesh (50.74%) and most of them are male (80.39%) compared to female (19.61%). The study revealed students “mother’s education level”, “residence type”, “number of blood donating times” and “involvement with blood donation organization” are highly significant factors with their blood donation behavior (p <0.001). About 67% student donated their blood to save another life and 28% blood donor think, it is their social responsibility. Five reasons found behind not donating blood: health (71%) had no time (14%), no reason (6%) for fear (8%) and religion (1%). Though half of the university students donate blood but by introducing more motivational campaign by government or blood donation organization or university authority, rest of the students attitude can be converted, and they may donate blood which will help to fulfill Bangladesh’s annual safe blood demand.\u0000Asian J.

Live vaccines which are prepared with lentogenic strains of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) are now more frequently used in broilers and layers than vaccines prepared from chemically inactivated strains of NDV mixed with adjuvant. This is because live freeze-dried vaccines can be produced on a large scale at a relative low cost. The vaccines are easy to administer on large scale, and rapidly stimulate cell-mediated and mucosal surface immunity. The present study was designed to compare the efficacy of LaSota, B1 and Mukteswar Strain vaccines for NDV in layer chickens. Findings of our present study indicated that production of HI-antibody titre was higher in birds of group A (512) vaccinated with ND LaSota, compared to those of group B (256) vaccinated with RDV (Mukteswar strain); group C (128) vaccinated with ND B1 (B1 strain) Hitchner at six weeks after vaccination. Thus, the ND LaSota vaccine was found to be superior to some extent than ND B1 Hitchner. However, as regards vaccination of chicks against NDV in earlier days, the use of lentogenic strains are recommended although it should be kept in mind that vaccination with LaSota strains would cause greater problems in young susceptible birds than Hitchner B1 strain and even though LaSota induces stronger immune response\u0000Asian J.

Good knowledge and practice about hepatitis- B virus (HBV) infection prevention is crucial for HBV infection control. In Bangladesh, there were few studies conducted regarding the knowledge and practice level of student nurses’ about HBV infection prevention. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice level of student nurses’ about HBV infection prevention in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional descriptive type of study was conducted in three nursing colleges at Sylhet in Bangladesh. A pre-tested self-administered structured questionnaire with observation checklist was constructed and implemented to assess knowledge and practice about HBV infection prevention. A total of 150 student nurses’ from three nursing college were participated in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test was used implemented to determine the relationship between categorical variables. The result shows that most of the respondents (83.3%) were female and mean age was 20±8.72 years. The level of knowledge was good (81.07%) and practice level was satisfactory (72.22%) on HBV infection prevention related activities. Most of the respondents had accurate concepts about HBV infection can be prevented by 96% vaccination, 83.33% safe sex, 92.63% use of disposable syringe, 84.67% wearing gloves during patient care and 78% promote public awareness. The study findings concluded that the majority of the respondents had good knowledge and satisfactory practice level in HBV infection prevention. However, not all of them with good knowledge carried out good practices about to HBV infection prevention in their working place.

The data were collected through personal interview from the individual respondent. The study revealed that duration of buffalo rearing was mostly practiced for more than two years. Various types of feed ingredients including rice straw, wheat straw, green grass, concentrate feed, cultivated fodder, tree leaves and unconventional feed resources were used for feeding buffaloes. In small scale, 83.34% farmers fed their buffalo in a group and 75% buffaloes reared under semi-intensive system while all buffaloes practiced individual feeding and reared under intensive system in commercial farms. The daily milk production, lactation length and yield of dam and birth weight of calves significantly (p<0.05) increased in commercial farm than small scale. However, the weaning age and weight was significantly (p<0.05) higher in village buffaloes than commercial farms. Similarly, age at 1st heat, 1st calving, services per conception and postpartum heat showed significantly (p<0.05) higher values in village than commercial farms. The major diseases of buffaloes in those areas were foot and mouth disease, black quarter, hemorrhagic septicemia, mastitis and anthrax. A proportion of 88.3% village farmers performed vaccination, in contrast, all buffaloes were vaccinated in commercial farms. The cost-return analysis discovered that rearing of buffalo in commercial farms was more profitable than rearing in small scale.
