TL;DR: The employ of neem-borne molecules are supported as an advantageous alternative to build newer and safer Aedes control tools, in the framework of Zika virus outbreak prevention.

TL;DR: The current status of chemotherapeutic agents used against leishmaniasis is viewed, a review of natural plant extracts exhibiting antileishmanial activities in vitro or in vivo alone or in combination with recommended drugs seeming to validate their use in folk medicine, and topical applications of ointments currently used to develop new compounds under trial are reviewed.

TL;DR: To evaluate the ovicidal and larvicidal activities of hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts of Gymnema sylvestre, Scilla peruvina, Rubia cordifolia and Elytraria acaulis roots against the eggs and larvae of Aedes aegypti L. aeEgypti and Culex quinquefasciatus Say.

TL;DR: Migration activities and reused infested furniture probably were the possible reasons to bed bug resurgence in Peninsular Malaysia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of three commercial starter cultures on microbial counts, physicochemical changes, volatile profile and sensory characteristics of dry-cured foal sausage was evaluated using standard food analysis techniques.

TL;DR: The phytochemical constituents, antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of water-acetone, water-ethanol and water extracts of Coula edulis, Pseudospondia longifolia and Carapa klaineana are evaluated.

TL;DR: In vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential of stem bark extract of Dillenia indica f.

TL;DR: In this article, the phytochemical composition and organoleptic properties of Pistacia lentiscus (L.) from Algeria and the antioxidant activities of its essential oil and ethanolic extract were investigated.

TL;DR: Using electronic data base, different compounds in green tea possessing anticancer activity including epigallocatechin-3-gallate, paclitaxel and docetaxel combinations, ascorbic acid, catechins, lysine, synergistic arginine, green tea extract, proline, and green tea polyphenols has been reported.

TL;DR: It was observed that the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of flavonoids extracted from the leaves and seeds of P. harmala were bactericidal to Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: Harpagoside and harpagide act as potential highly selective COX-2 inhibitors and are safe anti-inflammatory/analgesic compounds compared with classical non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs and could be considered as promising inflammatory inhibitors of a natural origin.

TL;DR: Fresh vegetables can be a source of food-borne parasitic disease in humans and public educationand awareness, washing vegetables properly and improving of sanitary and irrigation conditions of these kinds of food should be necessary.

TL;DR: The protozoa outbreak, such as Giardia, is more than multi-protozoa whose outbreak may be the result of parasite easy transferred by water and nutrients and the parasite cyst resistance under the worse conditions as well as its simple cell division.

TL;DR: The findings confirmed that the aquatic habitat was adequate for fishing activity and that the consumption of fish species therein are safe, however, it should be noted that there was bioaccumulation of trace elements in the fish tissues which should not pose any danger to man.

TL;DR: Although the management and control of thalassemia is a difficult task, it can easily be achieved via the assistance of prenatal diagnosis and prevention programs and consanguineous marriages should be avoided to further limit the future burden ofThalassaemia disease.

TL;DR: Evaluating the antibiotic activity of mangrove plant, Avicennia marina against human and shrimp pathogens and to delineate bioactive constituents by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) profiling brings out a new insight on the exploration ofMangroves for antibiotic production in future.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Coccinia grandis ethanolic leaf extract has strong antidiabetic activity and can be meaningfully utilized in the management of diabetes.

TL;DR: Leishmaniasis is neglected in Landi Kotal Khyber Agency, the reasons being prevailing security situations and political sensitivity, and potential risks of cross border transmission, with the probability of future epidemics in the surrounding regions.
