Hemiptera are called "true" bugs. Hemi denotes half, or half-winged; ptera indicates wing.Heteroptera (True Bugs), the most varied suborder of non-endopterygote hemimetabolous insects, are found all over the world. In the current study, 2200 Hemiptera...
Nipah virus (NiV) is a severe pathogen of significant zoonotic potential that causes repeated pandemics of the respiratory system disease and encephalitis, but there is no approved national vaccine against it as of now. This paper has used a reverse...
Background: Heart failure requires long-term medication adherence and appropriate lifestyle behaviours to support effective disease management and reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. However, medication non-adherence, physical inactivity, unhealthy...
Backyard poultry contributes directly to household nutrition, income and social resilience, yet external parasites are commonly overlooked because infestations are episodic, taxonomically diverse and strongly shaped by husbandry. This study investigated...
Background: Modern dietary patterns have undergone profound transformations, characterized by increased consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), shifts in macronutrient composition, and widespread micronutrient inadequacies. These changes have...
Thyroid cancer has emerged as the most common endocrine malignancy and the fifth most frequent cancer among women globally. Rates have roughly doubled compared to previous decades. Hormonal signaling plays a major role in this rise, with receptors for...
Asthma is a long term reversible inflammation of the respiratory tract organs in which numerous cells and cell components partake: especially T lymphocytes, mast cells, eosinophils, epithelial cells, neutrophils and macrophages. Those people who are prone...
