Abstract: Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a tropical and subtropical crop widely cultivated for edible fruits. It is member of the small family Caricaceae .Papaya is one of the few rapidly growing and heavily yielding fruit trees. In the peninsular region it bears fruits throughout the year, while under north Indian conditions it is in fruiting for about four month beginning from January. Papaya trees are affected by some fungi from seedling to fruit, that reduces the viability of plant and fruit numbers and quality. Except fungal diseases viral diseases also affect from foliar to fruiting stages (Leaf curl and ring spot diseases). Trees affected do not die immediately but their fruit bearing capacity is diminished. Plants infected by PRSV develop a range of symptoms including ringed spots on the fruit, for which the virus is named. Other symptoms in include mosaic coloration and chlorosis of the leaves.

Abstract: Neutrophils are major source of inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines which play an important role in obesity related cardio-metabolic complications. Little is known about neutrophil activation markers in childhood obesity. Therefore, we investigated the hypothesis that, the component of the innate immune system is activated in childhood obesity through assessment of the expression of CD66b as a specific marker of neutrophil activation and plasma MPO which is a product of activated neutrophil............

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major worldwide health problem and is the leading killer of youth and adults in developing countries, being responsible for more deaths than any other single infectious organism [1]. 5–15% of the people infected with M. tuberculosis (estimated 2–3 billion) will develop TB disease during their lifetime [1]. Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG), an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis is the only vaccine currently available against TB. This is the world's most widely used vaccine and being directed against the world's leading cause of infectious disease mortality, BCG is the most controversial vaccine in current use [2]. The efficacy of BCG vaccine in the prevention of tuberculosis has shown considerable variation in different populations and trials [3].............
