Discrete-time dynamical systems or difference equations have been increasingly used to model the biological and ecological systems for which there is time interval between each measurement. This modeling approach is done through using the iterative maps. Iterative maps are an essential part of nonlinear systems dynamics as they allow us to take the output of…

Antisense oligonucleotides (oligos) have been evaluated for treating prostate cancer in both in vivo and in vitro models. This study evaluates the growth inhibition of in vitro propagating LNCaP cells employing mono- and bi-specific oligos directed against BCL-2 and employing RT-PCR, the expression of five apoptosis regulatory proteins (BCL-2, bax, caspase-3, clusterin, AKT-1), a tumor…

In vitro trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of Azadirachta indica (neem) extracts on mycelial growth, sporulation, morphology and ochratoxin A production by P. verrucosum and P. brevicompactum. Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) (neem plant) extract is one of the most important plant products which inhibit mycotoxin production. The effect of neem oil extract…

Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is a single-celled parasitic ciliate that causes problems for almost all species of freshwater fish. It affects both wild and farmed fish. It infects the fish host and causes “White spot disease”, which becomes fatal within a matter of days. Three hundred twenty four (324) infected tiger shark/striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus fingerlings (mean…
