الوصف: The introduction of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus into new areas of Malaysia resulted in the introduction of new parasites that harmed other aquatic organisms. A study was conducted to determine the prevalence and sites specificity of temnocephalids in wild and cultured Cherax quadricarinatus. In this study, 33 wild (Melaka) and 32 cultured (Johor) C. quadricarinatus were sampled in January 2020. The prevalence of the parasite was determined using dissecting microscopes and their sites specificity were compared. The prevalence (P) and mean intensity (MI) of temnocephalids in wild crayfish were 93.94% and 35.13%, whereas in the cultured crayfish were 100% and 18.31%, respectively. The temnocephalid species were identified as Diceratocephala sp., Craspedella sp., and Decadidymus sp. The prevalence of adults and eggs of Decadidymus sp. was found to be significant in cultured C. quadricarinatus (p

الوصف: African catfish Clarias gariepinus is a scale-less fish prone to injury from high stocking under captive condition. Untreated wounds are susceptible to pathogenic infections that can cause biological and economic losses. This study evaluated the potential of Melaleuca cajuputi leaf extract (MCLE) for wound treatment in artificially injured C. gariepinus. Methanol extracts of M. cajuputi were freeze-dried and applied as treatment solutions as follows; 0.0 mg/L, 12.7 mg/L, 25.4 mg/L, and 38.1 mg/L. Tetracycline was used as a positive control group. The fish were artificially injured (i.e., laceration of 1 cm long, 0.4 cm depth) on both lateral sides and allowed to swim in the treatment solutions for 30 days. Wound healing progress, histological changes, hematological and biochemical parameters are herein reported. Results revealed that MCLE treatments caused faster epidermal cell migration, epidermal covering, and cell proliferation as early as 1 h after the artificial injury was inflicted compared to the control. At 3 h, the MCLE treatment at 12.7 and 25.4 mg/L caused the wounds to be closed and initiated the formation of the basement membrane; where these conditions were found only after 6 h with the tetracycline and control treatments. Meanwhile, the vascularization was found to occur after about 6 h in the 12.7 and 25.4 mg/L MCLE treated fish, whereas the process was delayed until 12 h in untreated fish. Our finding shows that treatment of fish wounds for 30 days with MCLE did not affect the health status of the fish as no significant changes (p > 0.05) were observed between the MCLE-treated and control groups for most parameters. It was concluded that the treatment of injured C. gariepinus can be done using MCLE concentration between 12.7 and 25.4 mg/L to accelerate healing.

الوصف: The use of chemical preservatives in food products to inhibit the growth of microorganisms is widely used nowadays. However, their use has become a concern due to several negative side effects, and when consumers question the safety of the foods they eat. Therefore, the present work was conducted to investigate the potential of plant natural sanitiser from Cosmos caudatus Kunth extract to reduce the natural microflora present in raw beef and shrimp meat samples. The present work aimed to investigate the reduction of natural microflora (B. cereus, E. coli, Pseudomonas spp., S. aureus, and L. monocytogenes) in raw beef and shrimp meat samples following sanitisation with different concentrations of C. caudatus extract (0.05, 0.50, and 5.00%) at different soaking times (5, 10, and 15 min). The sanitised samples were further evaluated with sensory acceptability (colour, odour, texture, and overall acceptability) to determine their acceptance level after treatment. Based on the results, the microflora in beef and shrimp meat samples were reduced significantly (p < 0.05) started from 0.05% at varied soaking times. The decrease in bacterial populations was proportional to the increase in extract concentrations and soaking times. In sensory acceptability, all cooked samples achieved acceptance level by the panellists at 0.05% after 10 min of soaking time. Food samples treated with 0.05% of C. caudatus extract and 10 min of soaking time showed the best combination in terms of bacterial reduction and the level of acceptance by the panellists. Hence, it can be concluded that C. caudatus extract has a high potential as a natural-based food sanitiser that can prevent bacterial contamination while maintaining the sensory acceptability of the foods.

الوصف: Highlight Research This is the first report of the occurrence of gregarine species in Peninsular Malaysia. The information of these findings will lead to the identification of species using genetic analysis. This information can help to solve the cultured problem of the Macrobrachium rosenbergii industry worldwide. Abstarct Studies on the parasite of prawn are likely to be important due to the commercial value of the prawn. Investigation study about gregarine parasites of M. rosenbergii in Malaysia is still lacking. Objective of this study is to determine the occurrence of gregarine parasites in shrimp, M. rosenbergii from Setiu Lagoon, Terengganu. The study was done specifically to observe the prevalence and the mean intensity of the parasites which include the morphological prevalence and parasitological study. Prevalence of the parasites in this study is 42.4% with 95% Cumulative Index (CI) 25.6% to 59.3% and value of Odd Ratio (OR) is 0.74 (CI = 0.29 to 1.88). Two structures of the gregarine which is gamont and syzygy found in this study are closely related to morphology characteristic of gregarine in the previous report.

الوصف: Although exercise is proven as an effective strategy to combat post-stroke complications and the risk of stroke recurrence, many stroke survivors fail to engage in this activity following rehabilitation. In this study, we assessed the feasibility and usefulness of a low-frequency group exercise to determine its suitability as an approach to facilitate exercise engagement among stroke survivors. Forty-one stroke survivors, mean (SD) age 59.34 (10.02) years, mean time post-stroke 17.13 (17.58) months, completed a 90 minute, once per week, group exercise supervised by therapists for 12 weeks. The exercise outcomes were measured using standardized clinical tests. We observed improvement in the group’s physical performance; balance score by 3 units (Z = −3.88, p < 0.001), speed of repetitive sit to stand by 3.4 s (Z = −4.69, p < 0.001), and walking speed by 8.22 m/min (Z = −3.25, p < 0.001). Scores of seven out of 14 Berg’s balance scale items increased significantly, indicating better balance ability among the survivors. In conclusion, a 12-week, once per week group exercise session seems feasible and sufficient to improve the physical performance of community dwelling stroke survivors. This exercise arrangement may be offered to stroke survivors to facilitate exercise practice following rehabilitation.

الوصف: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Effects of Cymbopogon citratus essential oil (EO) was tested on minimizing handling stress in Macrobrachium rosenbergii through the evaluation of their metabolite responses [glucose, lactate, glycogen, protein, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH), Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)]. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of C. citratus extract in the anaesthetization of M. rosenbergii. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three treatments including control, prawn exposed to stress alone (T1) and prawn exposed to stress in the presence of C. citratus EO (T2) were tested. A C. citratus EO at 500 μL L-1 had been determined in a previous study and was selected as the critical dose to be applied as an anesthetic agent. Handling stress was induced into prawns by netting, at 2 min interval for 30 min and their hemolymph were collected to determine the metabolite responses. RESULTS The increase of glucose, lactate and LDH of M. rosenbergii when exposed to handling stress alone (T1) in comparison to T2 (stress with anesthetic C. citratus EO) were identified. Further, a low glycogen level in parallel with low AChE activity was observed which indicates the involvement of secondary metabolites to cope with the energy demand in T1 over T2. CONCLUSION This study indicates the efficiency of C. citratus EO to reduce stress during handling in M. rosenbergii.

الوصف: Highlight Research Effects of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) binder on pellet water stability in shrimp diet. Evaluation of squid oil attractant on feed palatability. The quality of water after inclusion of CMC binder and squid oil in pellet. CMC and squid oil improved dry matter retention and feeding responses in shrimp. Abstract Pellet water stability and feeding attractant are the crucial factors to be considered in the formulation of shrimp feed to minimize nutrient leaching and improve food palatability, respectively. The aim of this study was to determine the binding effect of supplementation of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) during pellet manufacturing, and feeding responses with the inclusion of squid oil in pellet. Both experiments were conducted separately in five feed formulations ranged from 0.00% to 3.00% of CMC and squid oil. All T 0 was referred as control with no CMC or squid oil. Experiment was conducted using 30 shrimps/treatment with triplicates. The dry matter retention up to 120 min of immersion and the feeding response test were evaluated in pellet supplemented with CMC and squid oil, respectively. Results showed the percentage of dry matter retentions increased with the increase of CMC, over time. The CMC containing pellets at 2.00% and 3.00% had minimal disintegration in water and possessed high water stability after 120 min immersion. The addition of 3.00% squid oil in feed exhibited a significant result (p
