Pairs of forward and reverse primers and TaqMan probes specific to each human cytochrome P450 isoform were prepared. Analysis of the mRNA level of each CYP isoform in total RNA from pooled specimens of various human organs was performed by real-time reverse transcription PCR using an ABI PRISM 7700 ...

Vacuum spray drying is a new technique used to produce concentrated orange juice powder using maltodextrin as a drying agent. The dryer was developed for the low-temperature (40–50 °C) drying powderization of liquefied food using superheated steam (200 °C) as a heating medium. The physicochemical pr...

Phlebotomus argentipes is a predominant vector of Leishmania donovani, the protozoan parasite causing visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent. In hosts bitten by P. argentipes, sand fly saliva elicits the production of specific anti-salivary protein antibodies. Here, we have utilised these...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Phlebotomus argentipes is the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Bangladesh and is controlled using deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, through indoor residual spraying (IRS). A mutation at L1014 (leucine at codon 1014) of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC), kno...

With the aging of society, the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a common cause of death, has been increasing. Transcription factor EB (TFEB), the master transcriptional regulator of the autophagy/lysosomal pathway, is regarded as a promising candidate for preventing various age-related dis...

The emergence of pyrethroid resistance in Phlebotomus sandflies is an urgent issue for vector control using indoor residual spraying (IRS). Two amino acid substitutions at codon 1014 (L1014F and L1014S) in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene have been reported in Phlebotomus argentipes, a m...

Introduction: Parasitic diseases and Tuberculosis were shown to be the risk factor for each other. Co-infection of visceral leishmaniasis and pulmonary tuberculosis are increasing public health problem now a days especially in developing countries. More than 81% of cases and deaths from TB are in de...

The number of people traveling overseas from Japan is increasing and multidrug resistance bacteria is increasing in foreign countries. Therefore, there are some people who develop drug-resistant infections or carry such bacteria when receiving treatment at local medical institutions, and they are so...

Introduction: Sandfly breeds in soil but is selective to identify soil favourable for their breeding. Soil covered by vegetation, marshy land, orchards and settlements shows high sandfly breeding in an endemic region. Besides,the presence of inorganic constituents of the soil was found to affect san...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most severe form of leishmaniasis and is fatal if left untreated in over 95% of cases. Leishmaniasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases that tend to thrive in developing regions of the world where inadequate access to healthcare makes it difficult for some p...

Introduction: Co-infection of parasitic disease and pulmonary tuberculosis are increasing public health problem especially in developing countries like Bangladesh. More than 81% of cases and deaths from TB are in developing countries and is aggravated by concurrency with parasitic diseases, where in...

Introduction: Climate includes rainfall, temperature; humidity has shown significant influences on Leishmaniasis and development of sand flies. Kala-azar- a climate-sensitive disease, a public health problem and historically endemic in Bangladesh, nurtured in temperatures ranging from 7 to 37°C, wit...

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major public health problems. Sputum microscopy even today is considered as most important laboratory diagnosis of TB though its negative result does not exclude tuberculosis.
 Objective: To evaluate the smear negative suspected TB patients by GeneX...
