    Prevalence of Pregnancy Associated Malaria in India
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-05-26T00:00:00) Jain, Khushi; Gupta, Palak; Balodhi, Ashutosh; Deeba, Farah; Salam, Nasir
    Malaria in pregnancy is a major public health concern. It results in impaired maternal health and adversely effects fetal and perinatal outcomes. The present systematic review was conducted to assess the prevalence, distribution and adverse pregnancy outcomes in malaria infected females in India. A comprehensive search and review of PubMed and Web of Science based on PRISMA guidelines was carried out to find articles reporting prevalence of malaria in pregnant women from India. Data from 16 studies were analyzed and prevalence of malaria among pregnant women in India was found to be 11.4 % (95 % CI: 7.3, 16.3). Prevalence of malaria among asymptomatic and symptomatic pregnant women was found to be 10.62% (95% CI: 6.05, 16.23) and 13.13% (95% CI: 7.2, 20.52), respectively. P. falciparum and P. vivax were both reported with in the same population. The geospatial distribution of malaria in pregnancy spanned over nine very populous states of India. The review also reported severe maternal and perinatal outcomes. Given the seriousness of malaria in pregnant women and its effects on the fetus and new-born, a stringent district wise guideline for early detection and prophylaxis in regions identified in this review will help in its better control.

    Analyzing Reproductive Capabilities Of Chickpea In Cold Environment
    (Central University of Punjab, 2018) Selpair, Shweta; Kumar,Sanjeev
    Chickpea is winter sown legume crop. In northern India, crop faces chilling stress during the month of January. Chilling stress causes detrimental effects on the reproductive stages of the crop which leads to the abortion of flowers, pod setting and seed yield. Preconditioning is a process in which plants are treated with mild drought stress to induce plant defense system against chilling stress. Effect of preconditioning was studied on five genotypes PBG1, GPF2, PDG3, PDG4 and PBG5. In this experiment, performance was evaluated on the basis of their seed yield. Reproductive structures were studied with the help of compound, scanning electron and confocal microscopy. Results have shown that PBG5 has performed best while PBG1 worst on the basis of seed yield among the five genotypes.
