5% agarose gel stained by ethidium bromide for and virus, respectively. Also, a dual-band at 148 and 167 was observed in multiplex PCR. Results of real-time PCR showed a limit of detection about 0.1 of plasmid/ . In conclusion, the designed construct can be used as a positive control for an accurate diagnosis of these micro-organisms without any biological danger for laboratory staff. So, this method is useful for diagnosis of these agents in food, water, and blood samples.

Epitope prediction remains a major challenge in malaria due to the unique parasite biology, in addition to rapidly evolving parasite sequence variation in Plasmodium species. Although several models for epitope prediction exist, they are not useful in Plasmodium specific epitope development. Hence, it was proposed to use machine learning based methods to develop a peptide sequence based epitope predictor specific for malaria. Model datasets were developed and performance was tested using various machine learning algorithms. Machine learning classifiers were trained on epitope data using sequence features and comparison of amino acid physicochemical properties was done to yield a valid prediction model. The findings from the analysis reveal that the model developed using selected classifiers after preprocessing by Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) performed better than other methods. The datasets for benchmarks of performance are deposited in the repository https//github.com/githubramaadiga/epitope_dataset . The study is the first in-silico study on benchmarking Plasmodium cytotoxic T cell epitope datasets using machine learning approach. The peptide based predictors have been used for the first time to classify cytotoxic T cell epitopes in malaria. Algorithms has been evaluated using real datasets from malaria to obtain the model.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Sodium Selenite (SS) supplemented media on oocyte maturation, expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) and embryo quality. Mouse Germinal Vesicle (GV) oocytes were collected after administration of Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin (PMSG); in experimental group 1, oocytes were cultured and then subjected for maturation in the absence of SS, and in experimental group 2, they were matured in the presence of 10 of SS up to 16 . The control group included MII oocytes obtained from the fallopian tubes after ovarian stimulation with PMSG, followed by human chorionic gonadotropin. Then, the expression of in MII oocytes in all three groups was investigated using real-time RT-PCR. The fertilization and embryo developmental rates were assessed, and finally the quality of the blastocysts was evaluated using propidium iodide staining. The oocyte maturation rate to MII stage in SS treated group was significantly higher than non-treated oocytes (75.65 . 68.17%, p<0.05). Also, the rates of fertilization, embryo development to blastocyst stage as well as the cell number of blastocyst in SS supplemented group were higher than other experimental group (p<0.05). There was a significant decrease in gene expression in both groups compared to the group with obtained o
