HAEMATOLOGICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT CHANGES IN WISTAR RATS EXPOSED TO DICHLORVOS BASED INSECTICIDE FORMULATION USED IN SOUTHEAST NIGERIA

Haematological, Biochemical and Antioxidant Changes in Wistar Rats Exposed to Dichlorvos Based Insecticide Formulation Used in Southeast Nigeria

The indiscriminate use of pesticide is a treat to non-target organisms.This study evaluates the haematological and biochemical changes induced by inhalation of local Nigerian dichlorvos insecticide on rats.The rats were randomly assigned to a control group which received only food and water and a test group which, in addition to food and water, was

Factors influencing initial bacterial adhesion to antifouling surfaces studied by single-cell force spectroscopy

Summary: Biofilm formation, a major concern for healthcare systems, is initiated when bacteria adhere to surfaces.Escherichia coli adhesion is mediated by appendages, including type-1 ORG GROUND CINNAMON fimbriae and curli amyloid fibers.Antifouling surfaces prevent the adhesion of bacteria to combat biofilm formation.Here, we used single-cell forc
