About 3.6 million Pashtun and over 1.5 million immigrants from Afghanistan live in the federally administered tribal areas (FATA) on the border between Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and southern Afghanistan. Although malaria cases are common in FATA, no detailed studies have yet been performed to reveal the actual status of malaria in the local population and epidemiological data are insufficient to elucidate the actual incidence. A malariometric survey of 691 patients of all ages and genders in seven agencies (districts) in FATA was carried out in 2013 using whole blood samples. Microscopically confirmed positive species were subjected to nested-PCR for the reconfirmation and detection of four species of

Summary To date, six candidate genera of anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria have been identified, and numerous studies have been conducted to understand their ecophysiology. In this study, we examined the physiological characteristics of an anammox bacterium in the genus ‘ C andidatus J ettenia’. Planctomycete KSU ‐1 was found to be a mesophilic (20–42.5°C) and neutrophilic ( pH 6.5–8.5) bacterium with a maximum growth rate of 0.0020 h −1 . Planctomycete KSU ‐1 cells showed typical physiological and structural features of anammox bacteria; i.e. 29 N 2 gas production by coupling of 15 NH 4 + and 14 NO 2 − , accumulation of hydrazine with the consumption of hydroxylamine and the presence of anammoxosome. In addition, the cells were capable of respiratory ammonification with oxidation of acetate. Notably, the cells contained menaquinone‐7 as a dominant respiratory quinone. Proteomic analysis was performed to examine underlying core metabolisms, and high expressions of hydrazine synthase, hydrazine dehydrogenase, hydroxylamine dehydrogenase, nitrite/nitrate oxidoreductase and carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl‐ CoA synthase were detected. These proteins require iron or copper as a metal cofactor, and both were dominant in planctomycete KSU ‐1 cells. On the basis of these experimental results, we proposed the name ‘ C a . J ettenia caeni’ sp. nov. for the bacterial clade of the planctomycete KSU ‐1.

Changes in extreme temperature and precipitation in the Arab region: long‐term trends and variability related to ENSO and NAO - M. G. Donat; T. C. Peterson; M. Brunet; A. D. King; M. Almazroui; R. K.

A workshop was held in Casablanca, Morocco, in March 2012, to enhance knowledge of climate extremes and their changes in the Arab region. This workshop initiated intensive data compilation activities of daily observational weather station data from the Arab region. After conducting careful control processes to ensure the quality and homogeneity of the data, climate indices for extreme temperatures and precipitation were calculated. This study examines the temporal changes in climate extremes in the Arab region with regard to long‐term trends and natural variability related to ENSO and NAO . We find consistent warming trends since the middle of the 20th Century across the region. This is evident in the increased frequencies of warm days and warm nights, higher extreme temperature values, fewer cold days and cold nights and shorter cold spell durations. The warming trends seem to be particularly strong since the early 1970s. Changes in precipitation are generally less consistent and characterised by a higher spatial and temporal variability; the trends are generally less significant. However, in the western part of the Arab region, there is a tendency towards wetter conditions. In contrast, in the eastern part, there are more drying trends, although, these are of low significance. We also find some relationships between climate extremes in the Arab region and certain prominent modes of variability, in particular El Niño‐Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ) and North Atlantic Oscillation ( NAO ). The relationships of the climate extremes with NAO are stronger, in general, than those with ENSO , and are particularly strong in the western part of the Arab region (closer to the Atlantic Ocean). The relationships with ENSO are found to be more significant towards the eastern part of the area of study. © 2013 Royal Meteorological Society

Inferring the contribution of sexual reproduction, migration and off‐season survival to the temporal maintenance of microbial populations: a case study on the wheat fungal pathogen P uccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici - Sajid Ali; Pierre Gladieux; Hidayatur Rahman; Muhammad S.

Understanding the mode of temporal maintenance of plant pathogens is an important domain of microbial ecology research. Due to the inconspicuous nature of microbes, their temporal maintenance cannot be studied directly through tracking individuals and their progeny. Here, we suggest a series of population genetic analyses on molecular marker variation in temporally spaced samples to infer about the relative contribution of sexual reproduction, off‐season survival and migration to the temporal maintenance of pathogen populations. We used the proposed approach to investigate the temporal maintenance of wheat yellow rust pathogen, P uccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici ( PST ), in the H imalayan region of P akistan. Multilocus microsatellite genotyping of PST isolates revealed high genotypic diversity and recombinant population structure across all locations, confirming the existence of sexual reproduction in this region. The genotypes were assigned to four genetic groups, revealing a clear differentiation between zones with and without B erberis spp., the alternate host of PST , with an additional subdivision within the B erberis zone. The lack of any differentiation between samples across two sampling years, and the very infrequent resampling of multilocus genotypes over years at a given location was consistent with limited over‐year clonal survival, and a limited genetic drift. The off‐season oversummering population in the B erberis zone, likely to be maintained locally, served as a source of migrants contributing to the temporal maintenance in the non‐ B erberis zone. Our study hence demonstrated the contribution of both sexual recombination and off‐season oversummering survival to the temporal maintenance of the pathogen. These new insights into the population biology of PST highlight the general usefulness of the analytical approach proposed.

Background of the Study The propose of the present work was to develop chemically cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol-co-poly(methacrylic acid) hydrogel (PVA-MAA hydrogel) for pH responsive delivery of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). Methods PVA based hydrogels were prepared by free radical copolymerization. PVA has been cross-linked chemically with monomer (methacrylic acid) in aqueous medium, cross-linking agent was ethylene glycol di-methacrylate (EGDMA) and benzoyl peroxide was added as reaction initiator. 5-FU was loaded as model drug. FTIR, XRD, TGA and DSC were performed for characterization of copolymer. Surface morphology was studied by SEM. pH sensitive properties were evaluated by swelling dynamics and equilibrium swelling ratio at low and higher pH. Results FTIR, XRD, TGA and DSC studies confirmed the formation of new copolymer. Formulations with higher MAA contents showed maximum swelling at 7.4 pH. High drug loading and higher drug release has been observed at pH 7.4. Conclusions The current study concludes that a stable copolymeric network of PVA was developed with MAA. The prepared hydrogels were highly pH responsive. This polymeric network could be a potential delivery system for colon targeting of 5-FU in colorectal cancers.

LONG‐TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF LINING TERTIARY CANALS IN THE INDUS BASIN OF PAKISTAN - Ali Raza; Muhammad Latif; Abdul Sattar Shakir (Irrigation and Drainage, 2013)
This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of lining tertiary canals with respect to their lining age. Twenty partially lined canals (1–25 years of lining age) were randomly selected and these were classified into five age groups with a class interval of 5 years. The flow rate of each selected channel was measured at the head and tail of the lined sections, and in the unlined sections at a distance equal to the length of the lined sections. The conveyance losses varied from 0.76 to 1.31 l s ‐1 per 100 m length. The lowest losses were observed in the newly lined canals (1– 5 years old) while the highest losses were observed in the case of group IV, having a lining age of between 16 and 20 years. The conveyance losses were reduced by 47 and 30% respectively in groups I and V. Thus, these results clearly demonstrate that the effectiveness of lining decreases with its age. A significant amount of water is saved by the newly lined canals; however, this benefit decreases as the lining become older. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
