Zafar, Samrah Saadat","doi":"10.47672/ejb.840","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47672/ejb.840","url":null,"abstract":"Dengue viruses are the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral diseases in humans, infecting 50-100 million people each year. Its serotypes are the most common causes of arboviral illness, putting half of the world's population at risk of infection. Because there is no vaccine or antiviral medicines, the only way to manage the disease is to reduce the Aedes mosquito vectors. DENV infection can be asymptomatic or cause a self-limiting, acute febrile illness with varying degrees of severity. High fever, headache, stomach discomfort, rash, myalgia, and arthralgia are the typical symptoms of dengue fever (DF). Thrombocytopenia, vascular leakage, and hypotension are symptoms of severe dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Systemic shock characterizes DSS, which can be deadly. Dengue virus infection pathogenesis is linked to a complex interaction between virus, host genes, and host immune response. Major drivers of disease vulnerability include host factors such as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), memory cross-reactive T cells, anti-DENV NS1 antibodies, autoimmunity, and genetic variables. The NS1 protein and anti-DENV NS1 antibodies were thought to be involved in the development of severe dengue. The progressive infection may change the cytokine response of cross reactive CD4+ T cells. The need for dengue vaccines that can generate strong protective immunity against all four serotypes is required. To create such vaccines, a thorough understanding of DENV adaptive immunity is required. Structural and functional research have shown that the degree of prM protein cleavage as well as the ensemble of conformational states sampled by virions influence DENV sensitivity to antibody-mediated neutralization, which has crucial implications for vaccine formulation.","PeriodicalId":9711,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Biology","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85075406","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}

Materials and Methods: In order to determine the seasonal changes of epiphytic diatom species in Büyükçekmece Reservoir, water and material samples were collected from five stations in 2019. In the study, water temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH values, which are among the basic ecological variables, were measured. Epiphytic diatom samples were obtained from Phragmites sp. species. Also, Spearman's rank correlation, Shannon–Weaver diversity index, Cluster (Bray–Curtis and Euclidean Distance), and ordination analysis (DCA and CCA) were applied in the study. Results: 66 epiphytic diatom species were identified in this study, and 36 of these species are new records for the reservoir. Most epiphytic diatom species were obtained in August, and the lowest number was obtained in November. According to the pH values, it was determined that the reservoir is alkaline. In addition, it was determined that the main factors affecting the distribution of epiphytic diatom species in the reservoir are temperature and conductivity, and it was revealed that ecological variables affect species distribution. Conclusion: According to conductivity and DO values, it was determined that the reservoir was of very good and of good quality, and in terms of DO values, the reservoir was mainly oligotrophic. However, station 5 was mesotrophic during the August sampling period, station 4 was mesotrophic, and station 5 was eutrophic in November. Also, Büyükçekmece Reservoir was found in poor and moderate status according to H' classification.","PeriodicalId":9711,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Biology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79741097","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 plants were dried and mounted on standard herbarium sheets. The Ethnobotanical data were collected from 85 local people of Haroonabad by questionnaire.Findings: The wild flora contained 81 species within 28 families. The largest family was Poaceae with 15 species followed by Euphorbiaceae with 8 species while Asteraceae and Amaranthaceae with 7 species. The life span of plants was comprised of 47 annual species (58%) and 34 perennial species (42%). The life-form spectrum explains that Therophyte 48 species (59%) were the dominant followed by Phanerophytes 7 species (8%) and Chaemophytes 13 species (17%), Hemicryptophyte 8 species (10%), Geophytes 3 species (4%) Halophyte 1 specie (1%) and Parasite 1 specie (1%). Leaf venation classes of plants consisted of reticulate 28 species (34%), pinnate 29 species (36%), parallel 20 species (25%), palmate 2 species (2.5%) and 2 species (2.5%) were leafless thus had no leaf venation. The plant species with herbaceous stems was 68 while with woody stems 13 species. The Ethnobotanical data of 70 species were recorded because 11 plants were not known by anyone. The range of UV value was 0.09 (Chrozophora plicata Vahl.) to 0.78 (Acacia nilotica L.) and the RCF value range was 0.03 (Imperata cylindrica L.)  to 0.95 (Acacia nilotica L.). The range of ICF value was recorded from 0.45 (Hormonal disorder) to 0.78 (Respiratory disease). 57% whole plant followed by leaves (53%) was used in the ayurvedic field. Therophytes were supported in the studied region for the reason that the region is a semi-arid zone of Punjab, Pakistan.Unique contribution: The present comprehensive study provides a basic point for other researchers and enhances the knowledge of poor people related to ayurvedic field. The Ethnobotanical study tries to attract the attention towards the conservation strategies of wild plants.","PeriodicalId":9711,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Biology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75655992","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}

During growth, data on plant height number of pods per plant, length of pods and size and number ofCBB spots was taken. Yield parameters were also assessed.Findings: The findings from the experiment revealed a significant variation (P<0.05) on the entire traits studied among the nine bean genotypes. Data from the field and greenhouse experiments were in conformity. None of the evaluated genotype was immune to CBB. In the green house, it was observed that disease symptoms were severe in beans planted in non-sterile soil and inoculated with Xap compared to those planted in sterile soil and non-inoculated respectively.Contribution to practice and policy: There was a strong positive correlation between size and number of CBB spots and growth and yield parameters.
