“…Vitellogenin gene expression also showed a significant decline in 130 Gy and 200 Gy irradiated females, which could be vital for inducing sterility at these doses. This finding is in agreement with those reported in previous studies on Cadra cautella , Musca domestica , etc., suggesting that the impact of radiation was similar on the expression of vitellogenin and egg viability [ 58 , 59 ]. The considerably lower relative expression of this gene at 130 Gy further validated this gamma dose as a suitable sterilizing dose for female S. litura .…”

Radiobiological investigations on the reproductive behavior of female Spodoptera litura (Fabr.) were conducted with the aim of determining the suitable radio-sterilizing dose for females in order to release them along with sub-sterile males for effective implementation of the Inherited Sterility technique against this pest. Calling and copulation duration significantly increased, while mating success, oviposition, fertility and longevity significantly decreased with increasing radiation dose (100–200 Gy) compared to control. In view of the effect of irradiation on mating behavior and reproductive viability of female S. litura, 130 Gy was identified as a suitable radio-sterilization dose. Further molecular studies were conducted to corroborate this dose for female sterilization, along with a higher dose of 200 Gy in order to validate the gradational response of ionizing radiation. GC-MS analysis indicated decreased sex pheromone titer at 130 Gy, which was more pronounced at 200 Gy. Pheromone-associated genes, PBAN and PBAN-R showed decreased expression at 130 Gy, and were drastically reduced at 200 Gy. The fertility-related Vg gene also showed a negative correlation with radiation exposure. Based on these radiation responses of female S. litura, 130 Gy might be considered a suitable dose for complete female sterility and its inclusion in sterile insect programs against S. litura.

Background: Trachoma is the most crucial infectious disease and one of the biggest vectors leading to worldwide preventable blindness. After cataracts and glaucoma, being the most prevalent diseases, trachoma acquired a third place among the most common ocular diseases. It is among the seven most neglected tropical diseases and is accounted for 0.006 to 0.008 billion people (mostly women) suffering from optical deterioration predominantly living in poor resource habitats. Aim: To estimate the permeation of active trachoma and measure its burden in four districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). Additionally, it is aimed to determine the distribution patterns of the infection while considering factors such as, age, gender, and dwellings. Methodology: The sample size (n=3036) estimation is undertaken while considering the past minimal prevalence of trachoma in the country. The data based on structured questionnaire and observations’ study collected from four districts of KPK. Detailed analyses were conducted using SPSS 24.0 by using descriptive analysis, correlation and Chi Square test of independence. Results and conclusion: The first thing accomplished was the testing normality of data using the Shiparo Wilk test, and it is found that all the variables were abnormal. It is found that in most of the cases, the use piped water strongly influences the contamination and lead to increment in disease. The correlation result shows significant results stating the effect of decrease of animals in house improved trachoma grading. Keywords: Trachoma, Blindness, KPK, Semi-Structural Interviews
