Effect of Psidium guajava and Phyllanthus acidus Leaf Extract on Immunostimulant Response of Nile Tilapia Against Streptococcus agalactiae Infection
Get PDFA study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of diets supplemented with aqueous extract of plants consisting of leaf-extracts of Psidium guajava (PGLE), Phyllanthus acidus (PALE), and the mixture of PGLE and PALE at the rates of 5 and 10 g/kg in the feed of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Following 12 weeks of feeding, the fish were challenged with Streptococcus agalactiae for 15 days. Immuno-hematological parameters were measured before and after the challenge. Results showed significantly enhanced innate immune parameters after administration of the plant extracts. Respiratory burst activity, phagocytic assay, and serum lysozyme content were 2 to 3 times higher than that of the control treatment; PGLE-10 group showed the highest values, while fish fed PGLE-10 had the highest post-challenge WBC, RBC, Hb, and Hct values compared to the control. Survival rates were higher in the groups with dietary supplementation of plant extracts compared to the control. The positive immuno-hematological impact of plant extracts show that these can be effectively used as alternative prophylactic and antimicrobial agents in Nile tilapia culture

Dystopian Futures: Murder, Genealogy/DNA Databases, Ethnicity and Privacy
No full textAncestry databases are popular because you can trace your genetic background with at-home, mail-in DNA tests. This technology was used to catch the Golden State Killer, a forty-year-old cold case, using genetic markers to find distant relatives, then tracing his family tree to find him. The public is accustomed to criminal DNA databases but using a civilian non-criminal database for this purpose has alarmed some privacy advocates. Who owns your DNA? Since you share it with others, who can use it and for what purpose? What other uses could these DNA databases be put towards? For example, will Native American tribes require a DNA test before membership is granted? Could DNA testing be part of future scholarship applications? Privacy concerns may include debt collection and healthcare discrimination. Those who own the databases often have goals that go beyond simply earning money. Are these databases reliable? We may not have an answer to any of these controversial questions but exploring an ethos may become more important as advances continue
