Beyond Seizure Suppression: Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester and 10-Hydroxy-2-Decenoic Acid Improve Anxiety-like and Cognitive Behaviors in PTZ-Challenged Zebrafish

Epilepsy is associated with recurrent seizures and behavioral and cognitive disturbances, highlighting the importance of assessing behavioral outcomes alongside seizure severity. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has shown neuroprotective activity, whereas evidence for the neur...

Report on the Occurrence of Anisakid Nematodes in Commercial Fish from the Southwestern Indian Waters

Anisakid nematodes are zoonotic parasites with a heteroxenous life cycle involving diverse hosts across multiple trophic levels in the marine ecosystem. Anisakiasis represents a significant global public health issue, with numerous clinical cases documented across the regions whe...

Species Diversity, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Provisional Epidemiological Cut‐Off Values of Vibrio spp. Isolated From Pacific White Shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) Farms in Southern Thailand

ABSTRACT Vibrio spp. are the most common opportunistic pathogens in shrimp farms, and drug‐resistant Vibrio spp. pose a major threat to both shrimp and human health. The current study investigated species diversity and antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio spp. from Pacific whit...

Comparative assessment of water quality and cyanobacterial toxin risks in Lake Chivero and Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe

Concerns regarding the degradation of aquatic ecosystems and the production of toxins resulting from water pollution and eutrophication are increasing. The study was carried out to compare water quality and algal communities of Lake Chivero, a hypereutrophic lake, and Lake Kariba...

Linking physiological indicators and HSC70‑2 gene expression to acute thermal tolerance and stress thresholds in common carp ( Cyprinus Capio )

This study delineated acute thermal thresholds in common carp Cyprinus carpio (39.9 ± 5.27 g; 13.54 ± 0.67 cm) by integrating physiological (cortisol, hematology, serum biochemistry, opercular movement) and molecular (HSC70-2) responses to rapid temperature shifts. Fish were acut...
