Pradheeps M., Chella Perumal A. and Poyyamoli G. receive International Ayurveda Research Award-2015 in Natural Medicine


05 March, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP

Much awaited award was announced this week. Finally India wins International Ayurveda Research Award-2015 in Natural Medicine. Thousands of nominations from several countries were received for international competition. The noble work is screened which distinguish from the rest, in different aspects of the Natural Medicine. The award is introduced to highlight excellent think tanks on global platform. The research findings were published on world’s prestigious The Journal of Ethnobiology and Traditional Medicine. Since this work involves collection of ethnobotanical knowledge base which is available only from few traditional healers, there is no possibility for increasing the number of people interviewed, in fact he has included all the available traditional healers from the selected villages. The data obtained from the census are cross referred with the data collected from traditional healers and confirmed. The declining trend in the tradition, by the modern facilities and exposure of the jobs outside the villages in the nearby town is the reason behind why the ethno botanical knowledge base is not common as reported by other workers. The study insists the need and importance of conservation of medicinal plants and ethnobotanical knowledge, since it is under great threats in the near future due to various factors ranges from absence of mother-child nexus to anthropogenic impacts in the study area. Hence by planning a proper set up of traditional school of ethnobotany along with herbal garden could conserve and document the remaining knowledge of traditional healers and ensure that the future generations will learn and keep the traditional heritage. They acknowledge Shri. Surendran and Shri Acchapan from Kunjome, Wayanad for assisting the fieldwork and the local people in the four villages for their co-operation extended during the survey are gratefully acknowledged. The authors are thankful to the Kerala Forest Department for permits and support for the field work and the infrastructural facilities provided by Pondicherry University are remembered with gratitude. The senior author is grateful to Pondicherry University for the research fellowship and the facilities provided by the Dept of Ecology and Environmental Sciences.

Sreenivasulu and Srinivas Naik H. from Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Tirupati, India are awarded with Norman Ernest Borlaug Research Award-2015. The worldwide competition involved many countries. World’s scientific communities turn their attention to merit of the scientific concept involved in it. It is catalyzing the funding and research enthusiasm. The research findings appeared on world’s prestigious The Journal of Toxicology and Health. To study the residual effect of fenvalerate in broiler chicks and ameliorating effect of vitamin E in experimentally induced fenvalerate toxicity in broiler chicks. For this study one hundred fifty apparently healthy unsexed broiler chicks(White Leghorn) were randomly divided into five groups (Control, Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV) consisting of 30 chicks in each group. The control chicks fed with normal feed without fenvalerate. Group I and II fed with 20 ppm/kg feed and 40 ppm/kg feed Fenvalerate respectively. Whereas Group III and IV chicks were feed with 20 ppm/kg feed and 40 ppm/ kg feed Fenvalerate respectively along with Vitamin E @ 2.5 ml each (62.5 mgs) in water.Residue levels in liver were estimated by Gas chromatograph and were 0.0081ppm, 0.0540ppm, 0.0060ppm, 0.0506ppm for group I, II, III and IV respectively. Positive results for fenvalerate residues in liver indicated the residual effect of fenvalerate in liver. Protective action of vitamin E at this dose level (@ 2.5 ml each to group III and IV throughout the experiment daily in water) was negligible. Keeping in view, further studies may be advocated by using higher doses of vitamin E for ameliorative effect. In the present study, positive results for fenvalerate residues in liver indicated the residual effect of fenvalerate in liver. Protective action of vitamin E at this dose level (@ 2.5 ml each to group III and IV throughout the experiment daily in water) was negligible. Keeping in view, further studies may be advocated by using higher doses of vitamin E for ameliorative effect. The authors are thankful to Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Tirupati for providing facilities to carry out postgraduate research work in the Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, Tirupati. Fenvalerate toxicity induces residues in livers of all experimental groups except control group. Protective action of vitamin E at this dose level (@ 2.5 ml each to group III and IV throughout the experiment daily in water) was negligible. Further studies may be advocated by using higher doses of vitamin E for ameliorative effect against fenvalerate toxicity. Recent year’s indiscriminate usage of pesticides to control pests throughout the world, so it causes adverse effect on health, production, immune status of animals and poultry. Now days after withdrawal of DDT and BHC for pest control of maize, rice, cotton and oil seeds etc. Fenvalerate, a synthetic pyrethroid and a potent insecticide being used in India since 1980. It is mostly employed in agriculture but also for insect control in homes and gardens and on livestock, alone or in combination with other insecticides. So residues of pesticides will increasing day by day in all vegetables, fruits and all kinds of meat and affect the either human and animal systems especially its effects immune system, haemopoitic system, hepatic system and nervous system etc.fenvalerate in broiler chicks and ameliorating effect of vitamin E.

He has 15 published research articles in different national and international journals. Himalayan forests are the repository of large number of medicinal plants valuable for the local people. These plants hold a great importance in traditional healthcare systems thereby providing clues to new areas of research in human wellbeing and biodiversity conservation. The present study documented the indigenous knowledge and usage of 98 plants belonging to 61 families and 95 genera in Theog Forest Division of Himachal Pradesh, North Western Himalaya. The information on traditional use was collected through semi-structured questionnaires and personal interviews. The highest number of species (38) were reported to be utilized as edibles followed by medicinal and aromatic (30), fodder (23), fuelwood (16), veterinary medicine (12) and agricultural implements (8). The leaves (43 species) were most commonly used plant part followed by wood (30), fruits (21) and whole plant (10). The family Fabaceae (7 species) followed by Lamiaceae (5), Rosaceae (5) and Asteraceae (4) were the dominant families of plants utilized by the locals. Plants studied were used as medicine, food, fuelwood, fodder and in socio-religious ceremonies. The study aimed at gathering knowledge pertaining to ethnic uses of plants in order to conserve the ethnobotanical wisdom of people in the study area. Of total 442 plant species found in the area, 98 species (22%) were recorded and identified, which are being utilized by the indigenous people. The documentation will help in the preservation of indigenous knowledge of locals of the region. The study was conducted with limited resources and further work to find out the nutrients available, methods of preparation and doses (for medicinal plants) and phyto-chemicals responsible for the action in these species will add to the findings of this work. In order to preserve traditional knowledge, the management authorities need to prepare ‘Community Biodiversity Register’ which should include documentation of local herbs, their usage as well as indigenous knowledge lying behind the biological resources and also there is a need to encourage and ensure active participation of local communities in sustainable harvesting and conservation of natural resources. In order to recognize economic value of widely available phyto-resources, on ground policy tools have failed which has resulted in a dearth of studies that document traditional knowledge. Locals have recognized the importance and role of plants they could play in developing their economy. Thus, there is a need of policy mix and inter-sectoral integration which focus on coordination at spatial and instrumental scales. Block or division offices in various districts might be encouraged to get involved in documenting the traditional knowledge of locals across the country. An adaptive and integrated policy approach both at national and local levels should be developed to document and preserve the traditional knowledge before it goes extinct. Dinesh Kumar Pal contributed to the collection of data through questionnaire surveys, analysis of data; Amit Kumar contributed to the analysis, interpretation of data and writing the manuscript; Bhupender Dutt contributed to the design of questionnaire forms, and Sachin Sharma contributed to analysis and interpretation of data. All authors declared that they have no competing interests.

27 February, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP

Breaking News: In a major move in the field of Medicinal Plants, Amit Kumar*, Upma Manral and Sachin Sharma from India are awarded with International Sustainable Development Research Award- 2015. The worldwide competition involved many countries. World’s scientific communities turn their attention to merit of the scientific concept involved in it. It is catalyzing the funding and research enthusiasm. The research findings appeared on world’s prestigious International Journal of Medicinal Plants. Traditional practices have played an important role in various Indian medicine systems, but have now become confined to remote rural areas. Due to change in the life style and economic status with increased influence of market economy, the transfer of indigenous knowledge about medicinal plants to the younger generations has been declining. There are few studies available from the state of Haryana which document the traditional knowledge of locals, of various medicinal plants and their uses. This might lead to loss of local knowledge in due course of time. The article describes a unique traditional practice of treating muscle strain by farmers using leaves of two widespread wild medicinal plants viz., Ipomoea carnea Jacq. (Convolvulaceae) and Ricinus communis L. (Euphorbiaceae). Focused group discussions with experienced rural folk and extensive household survey were conducted in village Muradnagar in the district Kurukshetra of Haryana, India. The mature leaves in former and tender in later were found effective in this ailment. The practice has been reported to provide healing in acute pain within one week of regular use. The documentation will help in the preservation of indigenous knowledge from rural sector of Haryana. Documentation of unique traditional practice for treating muscle strain. The practice has been reported to provide healing in acute pain within one week of regular use. The documentation will help in the preservation of indigenous knowledge of locals of the region. The study was conducted during a short span of time with limited resources and further work on phytochemicals responsible for the action in these species will add to the findings of this work. There is a need of documenting the traditional knowledge of farmer community of the state which has not received due attention in the past. Also, research focused on phytochemicals in widely available plant species would add greatly to the development of pharmaceutical sector. Various policy tools have failed to recognize economic value of widely available medicinal plants for the pharmaceutical industry that has resulted in a dearth of studies that document traditional knowledge. People have recognized the importance of medicinal plants and role they could play in developing the industry. However, still it has not covered all the ecosystems and local communities across the country. Focus has been given to mountainous region of country and local communities in remote valleys of Himalaya or tribal across the country. But, rural communities of states such as Haryana should not be neglected who might have vast knowledge about ethnomedicinal use of plants from their surroundings. Thus, there is a need of policy mix and inter-sectoral integration which focus on coordination at spatial and instrumental scales. Block offices in various districts might be encouraged to get involved in documenting the traditional knowledge of locals across the country. In order to preserve traditional knowledge, the management authorities need to prepare community biodiversity register which should include documentation of local medicinal herbs, their medicinal usage as well as indigenous knowledge lying behind the biological resources. An adaptive and integrated policy approach both at national and local levels should be developed to document and preserve the traditional knowledge before it goes extinct.

Kiran Meena* and Pamil Tayal receive Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran Research Award- 2015 in Bioprocess Technology




Kiran Meena* and Pamil Tayal receive Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran Research Award- 2015 in Bioprocess Technology


27 February, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP

The Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran Research Award- 2015 goes to Kiran Meena* and Pamil Tayal from India. This is an excellent global opportunity to recognize the meritorious efforts by individual and organization. The research findings were published on world’s prestigious International Journal of Medicinal Plants. Artemisia annua is an annual herb, known for its antimalarial drug – artemisinin. The drug is used in combination with its derivatives to prevent the emergence of resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Artemisinin is synthesized through mevalonate pathway in cytosol or methylerythritol phosphate pathway in the plastids and gets accumulated as a secondary metabolite in glandular trichomes. Low yield of drug is recovered using hydrocarbons from the leaves. However due to the emerging malarial cases worldwide, the commercial yield of the drug needs to be enhanced. Various modern technological practices such as semi-synthetic production of artemisinin using microbes (yeast), in vitro propagation of A. annua, selecting high artemisinin producing varieties and use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi during cultivation are used now-a-days accounting for increments in the drug production. The review highlights the molecular mechanism of action of antimalarial drug and methods to enhance its concentration in plant parts in vivo as well as in vitro. It is proposed that biologists should focus on an integrated approach for enhancement and effective utilization of the drug. The review highlights the synthesis of antimalarial compound in different plants belonging to different genera. The biosynthetic pathways have been explored in Artemisia annua for designing antimalarial combined therapies along with the production of artemisinin derivatives. The work emphasizes on the mechanism of action of artemisinin against Plasmodium falciparum. The review collectively demonstrates the current scenario of production and ways to enhance the concentration of antimalarial drug. It was suggested to future researchers to look for an integrated approach for drug enhancement and recovery with simultaneous curtailment in the cost. Artemisinin drug extracted from Artemisia annua is used extensively to cure endemic disease - malaria in Asia. In spite of this, the cultivation of the plant is not widespread. Also, limited extraction procedures with low drug yields are followed till date that further adds in plant exploitation. In the last decade, although the researchers have defined ways to enhance the drug yields but the cost management has been neglected. The review states the different approaches which can be combined together to improve the drug quality and quantity as well as minimize the cost. As the review shows all the available methods and approaches for drug extraction and its enhancement, it is recommended to agribusiness companies and research followers to cultivate the plant on a large scale to meet the growing demands of antimalarial drug. Also, better drug extraction procedures with cost effective measure should be laid down. Meena K. has collected the data and Tayal P. has drafted the manuscript. Both authors have discussed, revised and commented on the manuscript at all stages. The authors certify that this manuscript is original and has been written by stated authors. Authors declare that they have no conflict or competing interests. Authors are highly thankful to Shivam Gupta for bringing the proposal of the review. The authors are thankful to University of Delhi for providing financial assistance.

Two new species of the genus Tetracotyle Reported from North India




Two new species of the genus Tetracotyle Reported from North India


27 February, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP

Helminths are a serious threat to their hosts causing loss to the fish-based economy. A large number of fishborne infections, caused by fishborne zoonotic trematodes because freshwater fishes serve as the second intermediate host in the life cycle of many helminths. There is limited information available on this aspect in Indian perspective. The present communication attempts to provide a detail description about two strigeids species viz. Tetracotyle multilobulata n. sp. and Tetracotyle madhubanensis n. sp. parasitizing freshwater fishes, collected from Eastern U.P., India. The species are characterized on the basis of shape, structure, place and position of oesophagus, intestinal caeca, holdfast organ, hold fast gland and number of genital rudiments. Tetracotyle multilobulata n. sp. and Tetracotyle madubanensis n. sp. are new species of the Tetracotyle group. Identification of the parasite has been done using morphological characters from live specimens as well as mounted specimen. As Earlier described trematodes species Mastacembelus armatus (Lacep.) was parasitized by T. fausti (Rai and Pande, 1969) nom. nov., Syn. Diplostomulum type Rai and Pande, 1969 only. Hense it’s a new host record for Tetracotyle group. The major drawback lies in the knowledge and uniformity of taxonomic characters resulting in multiplication of species due to unavailability of good equipment in last decades. It will reform them by using advance tools and techniques. There is still a lot of scope in the areas where hosts have not been surveyed for infection, especially eastern Uttar Pradesh in India. Thus, there is a chance of getting new species of such Strigeids group. Worms were studied alive to saw the pattern of reserve excretory system while detailed internal structures of specimens from mounted slides in Canada Balsam to short out this issue. During course of study from 2007-2010 fishes were therefore, examined and author has succeeded in making a collection of some metacercariae of Tetracotyle sp. from different host and locality. This appear new to science which form the basis of the present work. Author is \thankful to Prof. Nirupama Agrawal and Prof. K.C. Pandey (Department of Zoology, Lucknow University, Lucknow) for their valuable suggestions. Authorities of DST are thankfully acknowledged for financial assistance (SR/SO AS-44/2005).

Radiographs digitized using Auto CAD program all the data compared by independent t- test. Results: Showed statistically significant difference between groups for maxillary inter premolar, inter molar, alveolar inter premolar, mandibular inter canine and inter canine alveolar. Results revealed SNB angle was responsible for skeletal sagittal difference between groups. Class II division 1 showed a retrognathic mandible. Conclusion: maxillary inter premolar, inter molar and alveolar interpremolar widths were significantly narrower in the Class II division 1. Rapid maxillary expansion rather than slow expansion may be considered. There was a significant reduction of mandibular intercanine width in division 2 subjects. Cass II division 1 subject show more retrognathic mandible than class II division 2 subjects. The data suggest that knowledge of the craniofacial growth process particularly skeletal and dentoalveolar growth pattern in Class II malocclusion patients orthodontic and orthopedic therapies may be a clinical usefulness procedure leading to proper choice of treatment time, modality to improve and to shorten the period of treatment, avoiding adverse consequences. The limitation of the study lies in the fact that the database collected from the cephalometric x-ray of untreated patients with class II malocclusion which is a two dimensional view instead of using a digital computerized tomography scan(3D ) view so that the dimensions can be measured in a 3 axis of lines.
