Pb is a poisonous heavy metal; its toxicity can change the antioxidant balance in biological systems. T. cordifolia is rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids which exhibit a wide range of biological effects and act as a natural antioxidant. The objective of the research work- first is to investigate the genotoxic potential of Pb-acetate on Bone marrow cells (BMCs), Second is to investigate the antigenotoxic potential of T. cordifolia against genotoxic induced by Pb-acetate in BMCs of Mus musculus (Swiss albino mice). For the research experiment, Adult Mus musculus of the same age group were selected andwere distributed into four groups (Group I, II, III &IV). After the completion of dose treatment, the experimental animals were euthanized by cervical dislocation and exposed both femora for the analysis of Micronucleus (Mn) in Polychromatic and Normochromatic erythrocytes. For the assessment of frequency of Mn in polychromatic or normochromatic erythrocytes 800 - 1000 cells were screened randomly under the compound microscope at 40X. and screening was done by image J microscopy software. Results of the experiment showed that the total frequency of Mn in polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes was 0.27 ± 0.07 in Group I, 0.18 ± 0.06 in Group II, 4.32 ± 0.32in Group III, and 0.94 ± 0.15 in Group IV and it is a significant difference to control and treated group at p < 0.05 or < 0.01. Hence, the results of the research experiment indicate that T. cordifolia stem aqueous extract has the potency to ameliorate and minimize the genotoxic induced by Pb-acetate in M. musculus (Swiss albino mice).","PeriodicalId":476391,"journal":{"name":"International journal of zoology and applied biosciences","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135084144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to achieve and generate profitability in sericulture, paradigm shift is essential through transition from balanced breeding to sustainable breeding via selection of breeding lines with better adult moth longevity which confers the benefits by coping with stressful environment. In the present investigation, CSR bivoltine silkworm breeds were screened to understand the adult moth longevity among them which have attained two decades of evolution. Differential longevity was recorded among the selected breeds. The maximum and minimum longevity was observed in CSR 51 and CSR17 respectively than other breeds. The short-listed breeds were exposed to starvation stress, wherein, interestingly, the CSR51 was highly tolerant compared to other breeds and CSR17 being short-lived was susceptible to starvation stress. The data obtained suggest that the relatively longer lifespan may be rendering more tolerance towards the starvation stress mediated lethality, as evident by the induced starvation stress assay. This would help us to focus on the generation of long-lived breeding lines with better longevity which could intrinsically determine for better abiotic and biotic stress tolerance.","PeriodicalId":476391,"journal":{"name":"International journal of zoology and applied biosciences","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135084153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With regular anthropogenic pressure on these resources, it is necessary to assess the uses and vulnerability of the species C. micranthum and S. latifolius commonly exploited by the Bwaba populations in order to propose sustainable management solutions. To do this, semi-structured surveys were carried out with the community of Bwaba producers in the Boucle du Mouhoun region and associated with a dendrometric inventory. The results obtained show that the two plants are well used by the populations in traditional human and veterinary pharmacopoeia but also in livestock feed as fodder and in wood for energy and crafts. Apart from the use of the stem of C. micranthum used in energy wood, the leaves of the two plants constitute the most used organ. The dendrometric measurements have shown that the two plants are overexploited by the populations and must benefit from a particular attention of preservation actions. Sensitization of the populations of reasoned uses of these plant resources therefore remains necessary with a recommendation to use the leaves instead of the barks and roots when these parts can bring the same result, particularly in traditional pharmacopoeia.","PeriodicalId":476391,"journal":{"name":"International journal of zoology and applied biosciences","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135083076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of parasitoid wasps to significantly reduce their populations in agroecosystems is a significant component of the integrated management of these pests (IPM-package). To do this, it is important to know their diversity, distribution and potential in controlling fruit flies. In this perspective, the incubation of 28 species of fruits and vegetables sampled in 2009 in ecological zones III, IV and V in Togo allowed to identify five species of native braconid parasitoids: Fopius caudatus Szepligeti, Diachasmimorpha fullawayi Silvestri, Bracon sp., Fopius sp. and Psyttalia sp. F. caudatus was the most abundant making 98.6% of parasitoids recovered. These parasitoids were associated with 4 species of fruit flies, the most abundant being the native species, Ceratitis cosyra (Walker). The parasitism rate in the three ecological zones depended on the locality, the incubated fruit and the fruit fly species. It was relatively low and ranged from 0 to 42.31%, with the highest average rate recorded in the wild fruit, Sarcocephalus latifolius (Sm.) E.A.Bruce, associated exclusively with C. cosyra. Pupae recorded from S. latifolius frequently yielded F. caudatus which was the most abundant. Assessment of the demographic parameters of F. caudatus, a potential candidate for augmentative biological control of C. cosyra in Togo, should be considered under controlled and natural conditions.","PeriodicalId":476391,"journal":{"name":"International journal of zoology and applied biosciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135084154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
