    Abstract: Until now, efforts to control mosquitoes as vectors still using chemical insecticides. The use of chemicals in continuing can cause resistance towards mosquitoes and cause environmental damage. One of the alternatives that can be utilized is a biological control, such as Bacillus thuringiensis. This research was conducted for three months in the La... Show More

    Abstract: Previous and ongoing studies have incriminated bats as reservoirs of several emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. Most of these studies, however, have focused on viral agents and neglected important bacterial pathogens. To date, there has been no report investigating the prevalence of Burkholderia multivorans spp. in bats. The Burkholderia genus, bei... Show More

    Abstract: Methylotrophic bacteria are ubiquitous bacteria that are capable of using one carbon compounds such as methane, methanol, halogenated methane, and methylated amine as sources of carbon and energy for their diverse metabolic activities. Methylotrophic bacteria were isolated from the tongue, and supra- and subgingival plaque in the mouths of voluntee... Show More

    Abstract: High genetic diversity and rapid microevolution are a peculiarity of genomes Helicobacter pylori, a phenomenon that is proposed to play a functional role in persistence and colonisation of diverse human populations. Isolates of H. pylori can be classified phylogeographically. To characterise diverse strains of this pathogen in different human popul... Show More

    Abstract: Zinc (Zn) is among the essential micronutrients required for optimum plant growth. Inorganic zinc in soil is generally in unavailable form for plant assimilation. However, Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (ZSB) makes the inorganic zinc in to biologically available form. Such studies in mangroves habitats are almost non-existing. Hence, the present study ... Show More
