Abstract

Callosobruchus chinensis L. is an important pest on mung beans. Alternative control of C. chinensis using botanical insecticides from extracts of Jatropha curcas and Cymbopogon nardus. The purpose of the research was to compare the toxicity of extracts and determine their compatibility. Toxicity testing methods use to contact, fumigation, and seed dressing methods. The research data was tested by probit analysis. The results showed that the toxicity of the contact method extract was more toxic than fumigation and seed dressing. The highest LC50 and LC95 values for the C. nardus extract applied with the contact method were observed at 72 HAT at 0.17% and 0.40% more toxic than the J. curcas extract at 0.21% and 2.14%. The best mixed extract of J. curcas and C. nardus was at a ratio of 2:1 with strong synergistic interaction (LC50) and weak synergy (LC95).

Abstract

Indonesia is one of a country with high biodiversity and genetic resources. One of them is Madura cattle that derived from crossing between exotic cattle, namely zebu cattle with local Indonesian cattle, namely Bali cattle. Branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase is an enzyme complex that metabolizes branched chain amino acids, namely valine, leucine and isoleucine. This study aimed to analyze exons 2-3 variation of the BCKDHA gene and its flanking region in Madura cattle. The sequences of it were obtained using DNA sequencing techniques. A total of seven variations were found, one variation located in the flanking region adjacent to the 5' end of exon 2 of the BCKDHA gene. The A392G variation found in exon 3 does not cause any amino acid changes. There is no variation found in exon 2, it indicates that the exon regions of BCKDHA gene are more conserved than introns in the Madura cattle.

Abstract

The study of endemic plants in the Karimunjawa Island area is an important concern in plant conservation efforts in protecting the surrounding environment. Endemic plants are unique and native plants that are found in an area and do not exist in other areas because of their small population. The research method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR). SLR is a research method whose aim is to conduct ongoing and regularly updated systematic reviews, incorporating new, relevant evidence as it becomes available. The result there are three types of typical plants found in the Karimunjawa Islands, namely Dewadaru (Fragraea elliptica), Kalimasada (Cordia subcordata) and Setigi (Pemphis acidula). Dewadaru belongs to the Potalieae tribe. Potalieae is a homogeneous taxon that includes in general Fagraea, Anthocleista and Potalia. Water extract from Dewadaru fruit has been proven to be effective as a natural preservative for tofu, which contains alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins and steroids. Kalimasada (Cordia subcordata) belongs to the family (Boraginaceae) in the form of wood that is strong and durable, so it is good for use as building materials and household appliances. Cordia subcordata contains alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, terpenoids. While Setigi (Pemphis acidula) is used as an ornamental plant (bonsai) with high economic value. Pemphis acidula can be used as a bioindicator of a mangrove area that is still beautiful because it is classified as a pure standing mangrove type. The ethanol extract of pandemor leaf simplicia (Pemphis acidula) contains a class of flavonoids, saponins and tannins.

Abstract

Pathogenic organisms have the ability to reduce or delay fish output. The physicochemical characteristics and microbial population of fish pond water, play great roles in affecting the growth and development of fish. This study aims to assess the microbiological quality and physicochemical quality of fish pond water in Ijebu-North local government of Ogun state, Nigeria. Fish pond water samples were collected from three different locations, which include Ago-Iwoye, Ijebu-igbo and Awa. Physicochemical analysis of fish pond water samples were achieved by standard procedures and all parameters were subjected to World Health Organization standards (WHO). The microbiological examination was determined by different selective agar media and biochemical identification was achieved by conventional analysis. The physicochemical characteristics of the samples such as temperature, pH and conductivity ranged from 33.9-44.20C, 6.70-7.87 and 163-196 respectively. The presence of trace and toxic heavy metals such as calcium, zinc, copper, iron, lead and so on were detected in this study. The sample from Ijebu-Igbo had the highest bacteria count of 4.28x102 cfu/ml. Esherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus species have the highest occurrence among the isolates identified. Therefore, there is need for adequate treatment of fish pond water to reduce the risk of fish exposure to pathogens and heavy metals. This is to ensure that environmental parameters of water are in the optimum range that will enhance healthy fish production.

Abstract

Sub-Saharan Africa has a high rate of malaria-related morbidity and death, with Nigeria accounting for a substantial proportion of these cases owing to its malarious nature. Most Nigerians live in environments that encourage the development of mosquito vectors that are responsible for malaria transmission. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malaria in the peri-urban areas. A time-series analysis was performed on 1,141 people with suspected febrile illness who visited a peri-urban health center over the course of a year (February 2020 – January 2021). Each person who presented to the hospital and was tested for malaria was included in the study. The 12-month study reported an overall prevalence of 24% (p0.05). A total of 273 individuals were found to be seropositive, with males (162) having a higher prevalence than females (111). Cases of seropositivity have been reported in all age groups. This study concluded that malaria remains a public health concern in the country, particularly in areas favorable for mosquito vector reproduction. Consequently, elimination approaches should be strengthened to safeguard people, particularly in vulnerable regions.
