Recent studies demonstrated that pets could succumb to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus infection through a person who has COVID-19 disease. At present, we do have strong evidence of how COVID-19 affects pets and do the pets transmit the virus to humans. Until we know more about virus transmission, we need to follow the health agency guidelines to contain the virus spread. In this short perceptive article, we describe the incidences of coronavirus in pets and possible precautions that need to be followed by people, particularly pregnant women and infertility patients to avoid getting the disease.

The emergence of new diseases and climate change has enhanced burdens on the animal production system. Nanotechnology, an application of materials at the nano scale, offers opportunities to improve animal health and production by providing better therapeutics, diagnostics, vaccines and adjuvants, animal feed and additives, and even helping animal reproduction. This chapter discusses the exciting examples of the selected application of nanotechnology in farm animals to realize the benefits of emerging nanotools that promise increase in food production from farm animals in a sustainable manner.

The presence and levels of neutralising antibodies were not measured a priori; stored samples were assayed at th...

To characterize antagonistic bacteria, one hundred and thirty bacterial isolates were obtained from the rhizosphere soil of wheat and these rhizobacterial isolates alongwith 72 reference strains were screened for their antagonistic interactions against R. solani under cultural conditions. Sixteen bacterial isolates inhibited the growth of R. solani and growth inhibition zone varied from 6-15 mm by different rhizobacterial isolates. Two isolates WPS3 and WPS90 caused maximum growth inhibition of the fungi. Growth inhibiton of the pathogenic fungi was also observed using culture filterates of antagonistic rhizobacterial isolates. The protein estimation of the culture filterates showed that the amount of protein excreted by different rhizobacterial isolates varied from 3.6 to 33.0 mg ml -1 of the supernatant. The loss of antagonistic activity after treatment with...
