Ruminants are an important part of world animal production. The main factors affecting their production rates are age, diet, physiological condition and welfare. Disorders related to low level of welfare can significantly affect the microbiological composition of the digestive system, which is essential to maintain high production rates.

Ginseng rusty root symptoms (GRS) is one of the primary diseases of ginseng. This disease leads to a severe decline in the quality of ginseng. It has been shown that the occurrence of GRS is associated with soil environmental degradation, which may involve changes in soil microbiology and physicochemical properties.

Understanding the interaction among different species within a community and their responses to environmental changes is a central goal in ecology. However, defining the network structure in a microbial community is very challenging due to their extremely high diversity and as-yet uncultivated status.

Soil forms an integral part of the ecosystem and at present the quality of a soil is defined not only in terms of its productive capacity, but also by taking the ecosystem into consideration. Consequently, when soil productivity has to be maximized, environmental effects must be given proper consideration. Thus the changes in soil quality caused by different types of land use must first be quantified for attaining sustainability in use and management.

An understanding of soil microorganisms as part of soil system and interactions between the diversity of producers and of decomposers, have major consequences on the functioning of agricultural ecosystems. Soil microorganisms control the transformation and mineralization of natural compounds and xenobiotics. The soil micro biota, existing in high density and diversity, rapidly modify the energetic performance and activity rates to changing environmental conditions.

Soil pollution by crude oil and its by products as a result of illegal (“Kpo-fire”) crude oil refining is one of the most common environmental challenges in the Niger Delta. This study was carried out on a laboratory scale, to evaluate the effect of illegally refined crude oil residue on soil fungi, using standard microbiological methods. Soil samples were taken from the University farm where there is no history of such contamination.

This present study has aimed to provide a molecular characterization of rotavirus species A (RVA) and to determine the frequency of RVC and RVH in fecal specimens from nonvaccinated piglets, across 5 farms in the metropolitan mesoregion of Belém, within the Amazon region, Brazil. In the previous study, porcine RVA was found in 9.9% (17/172) during the years 2008-2009. Using RT-PCR, Sanger nucleotide sequencing, and phylogenetic analyses, the entire genomes of 17 Brazilian porcine RVA strains were analyzed.

The objective of this study was to evaluate prevalence of parasitic infection among school children and their association with socio- demographic, environmental and behavioral habits of school children. The specimen was selected randomly. This study was conduct among 250 children (6-15 years of age) from the above school. Stool sample were collected and brought immediately to the microbiology laboratory at department of microbiology for processing. The specimens were examined by both macroscopically and microscopically for the presence of parasite.

Salmonella is widely distributed in bovine in different countries and is considered the most important related zoonotic diseases today which have a public health and economic importance. The present study was conducted to survey the prevalence of Salmonellosis in bovine fecal samples collected in ten different herds located at relatively different geographical areas, slaughter house samples and environmental samples by using standard microbiological and biochemical tests and confirm the isolated Salmonella by polymerase chain reaction targeting invA gene, specific at genus level.
