Abstract

Schistosomiasis is an infectious disease of public health importance in the African countries. Due to poor prevention, poverty, and poor settings; areas like Sokoto, Nigeria are battling with the disease. Consequently, people are compelled to use preventive measures locally. There is recorded use of A. sativum for the prevention of schistosomiasis without enough scientifically supported information in that regards. Therefore, this work evaluated phytochemicals, acute toxicity, and subchronic toxicity (effects on some kidney indices). Standard methods and reagents of analytical grade were utilized. The work reveals the presence of some phytochemicals, no acute toxicity (at 4000 mg/kg body weight), as well as no major change in the urea, uric acid, and creatinine levels. 1.111 mg/dl to 1.118 mg/dl creatinine, 1.011 mg/dl to 1.025 mg/dl urea, and 1.120 mg/dl to 1.140 mg/dl uric acid were determined in control and highest dose (4000 mg/kg body weight) (p<0.05). This indicates that, the plant is likely to elicit little effects on the experimental animals. Much work is important to evaluate sufficiently the safety of the A. sativum in prevention of Schistosomiasis in the Sokoto, Nigeria.

Abstract

Rotavirus infection is an emphatic health concern that when left unabated elicits hospitalizations, and deaths of many children due to diarrhea, even in developed countries; let one in poor settings. Likewise, the virus can affect older youngsters and adults resulting in mild infection. The consequences of the rotavirus could not be unconnected with the levels of poor prevention ploys put in place, including the inability of the body of children to counteract the rotavirus with a substantial immunity due to earlier invasion. Thus, it is important to seek for vaccines, because vaccination use in disease prevention is becoming a forefront efficient and easiest way nowadays. This paper brings a conceptual overview of vaccines utilization for the prevention of rotavirus infection in children under the following headings: Introduction, rotavirus vaccines, replicating vaccines, non-replicating vaccines, subunit vaccines, virus like particles, encapsulation, rotavirus vaccination, and conclusion.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the optical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based polymer films, incorporating methylene blue (MB) dye and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), for their potential application in gamma radiation dosimetry. Specifically, this research aims to explore the effects of gamma radiation on the color change characteristics, optical absorption spectra, activation energy, and optical band gap energy of the PVA-MB-TCA polymer films. Additionally, the study seeks to assess the stability of these polymer films under varying doses of gamma radiation, ranging up to 14 kGy. The PVA-MB-TCA polymer films were prepared using a solvent-casting method. The polymer film samples were then exposed to gamma radiation from a 60Co source, with doses up to 14 kGy. The study observed significant color changes in the polymer films, transitioning from blue at 0 kGy to light blue-near transparent at 14 kGy. Spectrophotometric analysis identified three distinct wavelengths of maximum absorption at 360 nm, 440 nm, and 560 nm. As the radiation dose increased, absorption values decreased at 360 nm and 440 nm, while an opposite trend was noted at 560 nm. Furthermore, the activation energy of the polymer films was found to decrease with increasing radiation doses, indicating a reduction in the energy barriers for internal reactions. Similarly, the optical band gap energy also showed a decreasing trend with higher radiation doses across all types of transitions. These results demonstrate that the PVA-MB-TCA polymer films undergo significant optical and structural changes when exposed to gamma radiation, highlighting their potential utility as reliable high-dose radiation dosimeters. The stability of these films under radiation further supports their applicability in various fields requiring precise radiation dose monitoring, such as medical sterilization, food processing, and environmental safety.

Abstract

Schistosomiasis is a disease of public health importance in the tropics and subtropics. However, the synthetic materials for prevention of the intermediate host of the disease are harmful, scarce, and toxic. Thus, an evaluation of molluscicidal activities of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the bulb of Allium sativum against Bulinus wrighti were carried out. Snails were exposed to various concentrations of plant preparations in laboratory conditions in a plastic aquarium containing 3L of de-chlorinated water for 96h continuously. Mortality was recorded at every 24hours interval for 96hours. The study shows that, molluscicidal activities are time and dose dependent against snails. The ethanolic extract was more toxic than aqueous extract. Ethanolic extract of A. sativum was found highly toxic to B. wrighti (24hrs. LC50: 97.07mg/l; 96hrs: 21.70mg/l). Chemical profile of aqueous extracts of A. sativum showed the presence of some secondary metabolites. A. sativum extracts showed histopathological signs to hermaphrodite glands and the digestive tract of the treated snails. This study showed that, this plant can be used as molluscicides. This study recommends the use of ethanolic and aqueous extract of A. sativum for the control of B. wrighti.
