Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Bacterial Pathogens in Some Marine Fishes in EL-Mansoura, EgyptElsayed Mahmoud Ezzat, Essawy Mahmoud, Shabana Iman Ibrahim et al.A total of 200 marine fish of two different species (100 Tilapia zillii and100 Mugil capito) were randomly collected from different markets, during different seasons. Fish subjected to clinical, postmortem and bacteriological studies. The common clinical signs were darkness of the skin, hemorrhage in the fins base, eyes and different parts of the body, abdominal distention, congestion in gills and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2018 · 9,411 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Morphometric Relationship and Condition Factors of Four Cichlids from Golinga Reservoir in Northern Region of GhanaElliot Haruna Alhassan, Daniel Nsoh Akongyuure, Francis AsumangLength-weight relationship and condition factor have severalapplications on fish biology, physiology, ecology and fisheries assessment. A six-month study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 to determine the length-weight relationship and condition factor of four major cichlids namely Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), Hemichromis fasciatus (Banded jewelfish), Sarotherodon galilaeus (Mango fish) and Tilapiazillii (Red-belly tilapia) to fill a knowledge gap … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2015 · 8,201 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation and Tissue Partitioning of Endosulfan by the Red Hybrid TilapiaDwight E. RobinsonThe frequent use of endosulfan in agricultural activity on steep slopes in Jamaica and subsequent contamination of rivers by the residues resulted in a need to assess the levels of bioaccumulation of sub-lethal doses of the insecticide in river fauna using Tilapia fish as a test subject. Bioconcentration of α- and β-endosulfan by the Red Hybrid Tilapia, from 0.0075 mg … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 29 Jun 2015 · 7,060 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of an Insecticide Abamectin on Some Biochemical Characteristics of Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis Niloticus)Mohammed A. Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Presence of pesticide in streams and lakes is largely due to the runoff from agricultural fields. Pesticides are not highly selective but are generally toxic to many macrophytes, non-target organisms such as fish. Fish, generally accumulate contaminants from aquatic environments and have been largely used in food safety studies. Approach: The toxic effect of the insecticide abamectin on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcentration of Zn, Cu and Pb in Some Selected Marine Fishes of the Pahang Coastal Waters, MalaysiaB. Y. Kamaruzzaman, M. C. Ong, S. Z. RinaProblem statement: Heavy metals constitute one of the most hazardous substances that could be accumulated in biota. Fish populations exploited by man often live in coastal area environments that contain high levels of heavy metals, coming from human activities such as industrial and agricultural wastes. A problem to deal when using fishes as biomonitors of heavy metals is the relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMembrane Binding Activity with Virus in White Spot Syndrome Virus-Infected Fenneropenaeus chinensisLiu Qing-hui, Huang Jie, Chen Ting, Yang BingProblem statement: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is one of the most disastrous pathogens in shrimp culture, having caused high mortality in many cultured shrimp species. It is well known that the most important step of viral infection is cell attachment. Approach:Therefore determining the binding activity of shrimp cells to WSSV is an important to evaluate anti-infection ability and understanding … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,496 accessesView PDFCite
