Abstract: Hormones, antibiotics, vitamins and several other chemicals have been tested in aquaculture operations for various remedies Even though they give positive effects, they cannot be recommended due to their residual and other side effects The alternative herbal bio-medicinal products in the aquacultural operations, that have the characteristics of growth promoting ability and tonic to improve the immune system, act as appetite stimulators They increase consumption, induce maturation, and have antimicrobial capability and also antistress characteristics that will be of immense use in the culture of shrimps and other fin fishes without any environmental and hazardous problems Herbal compounds such as phenolics, polyphenols, alkaloids, quinones, terpenoids, lectines and polypeptides have been shown to be very effective alternatives to antibiotics and other synthetic compounds The present paper is presented after a careful review of more than 50 herbal plants for their biological effects such as growth promotion, immunostimulation, antistress, antibacterial, antifungal, antivirals, appetite stimulators and aphrodisiac

...Plant extracts have been reported to favor various activities like antistress, growth promotion, appetite stimulation, enhancement of tonicity and immunostimulation, maturation of culture species, aphrodisiac and anti pathogen properties in fish and shrimp aquaculture due to active principles such as alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolics, steroids or essential oils (Chakraborty and Hancz, 2011; Citarasu, 2010)....

...Besides, plant extracts have been shown to improve digestibility and availability of nutrients resulting in an increase in feed conversion and leading to a higher protein synthesis (Citarasu, 2010; Nya and Austin, 2009b; Talpur et al., 2013)....

Multifactorial nature of human immunodeficiency virus disease: implications for therapy

12 Nov 1993-Science

TL;DR: The immunopathogenic mechanisms underlying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease are extremely complex; the disease process is multifactorial with multiple overlapping phases as mentioned in this paper, and therapeutic strategies in HIV disease must not be unidimensional, but rather must be linked to the complex pathogenic components of the disease and must address where feasible each of the recognized pathogenic processes for the possibility of therapeutic intervention.

Abstract: The immunopathogenic mechanisms underlying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease are extremely complex; the disease process is multifactorial with multiple overlapping phases. Viral burden is substantial and viral replication occurs throughout the entire course of HIV infection. Inappropriate immune activation and elevated secretion of certain cytokines compound the pathogenic process. Profound immunosuppression ultimately occurs together with a disruption of the microenvironment of the immune system, which is probably unable to regenerate spontaneously. Thus, therapeutic strategies in HIV disease must not be unidimensional, but rather must be linked to the complex pathogenic components of the disease and must address where feasible each of the recognized pathogenic processes for the possibility of therapeutic intervention.
