Distribution of Major and trace elements in Koppunuru area, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India.

ABSTRACT: From koppunuru study area totally 58 samples were collected in 7 different boreholes, minimum depth of 28?m and Maximum depth of 157.7?m. The borehole samples geochemical analysis (major and trace elements) was carried out at Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration & Research (AMD), Hyderabad, India. Major and trace element studies have been conducted on the Neoproterozoic Palnad sub-basin Andhra Pradesh, South India, to determine their Geochemistry, Uranium mineralization and provenance characteristics. Geochemically, this sedimentary basin has a different litho - unit like as gritty quartzite, conglomerate, and Shale. This study area mainly dominated by Uranium deposited and radioactive elements are predominately deposit. Strong positive correlation between Uranium and Lead (r = 0.887) suggested radiogenic nature of this system.

Climate based malaria forecasting system for Andhra Pradesh, India.

Project description:Malaria is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries of the World. During the year 1999, Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh, India experienced a major epidemic of malaria, and nearly 41,805 cases were reported. Hence, a retrospective malaria surveillance study was conducted from 2001 to 2016 and reported nearly a total of 149,317 malaria cases during the study period. Of which, Plasmodium vivax contributes 32%, and Plasmodium falciparum contributes 68% of the total cases. Malaria cases follow a strong seasonal variation and 70% of cases are reported during the monsoon periods. In the present study, we exploited multi step polynomial regression and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models to forecast the malaria cases in the study area. The polynomial model predicted malaria cases with high predictive power and found that malaria cases at lag one, and population played a vital role in malaria transmission. Similarly, mean temperature, rainfall and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index build a significant impact on malaria cases. The best fit model was SARIMA (1, 1, 2) (2, 1, 1)12 which was used for forecasting monthly malaria incidence for the period of January 2015 to December 2016. The performance accuracy of both models are similar, however lowest Akaike information criterion score was observed by the polynomial model, and this approach can be helpful further for forecasting malaria incidence to implement effective control measures in advance for combating malaria in India.

The Distribution of Genotype and Allelic Frequency of IL28B Gene Polymorphism in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL28B gene on chromosome 19, encoding for the interferon (IFN)-?-3 is strongly associated with treatment response to pegylated-IFN and ribavirin in patients infected with different genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Difference between ethnicity and treatment response rates suggesting a key role of host genetics. The IL28B polymorphism (rs12979860C/T) shows a marked differential distribution between racial groups. AIM: The present study is aimed to evaluate genotype and allelic frequency of IL28B gene polymorphism (rs12979860C/T) in Andhra Pradesh, India. METHODS: A total of 220 healthy controls were recruited for the study. The genotyping of SNP rs12979860C/T on IL28B gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing method. RESULT: The frequency of CC genotype was found to be significantly (59.09%) higher compared to CT (34.09%) and TT (6.81%) genotypes, respectively. The frequency of major allele C is 0.762 whereas minor allele T is 0.238. CONCLUSION: The higher distribution of genotype 'CC' of SNP, rs12979860C/T of IL28B gene in study subjects is suggestive of better response of HCV patients to standard anti-HCV therapy.

Data on artificial recharge sites identified by geospatial tools in semi-arid region of Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Project description:The Geospatial Technologies like Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) have been playing vital role in capable forecasting and management of imperative groundwater resources in the emerging nations. In recent times, the geospatial technologies like RS, GIS and Multi Influence Factor (MIF) methodology are helpful in identifying groundwater potential zone. For the present study, the geospatial technology is used to prepare various thematic maps such as Land Slope, Geomorphology, Geology, Soil, Drainage Density, Lineament Density, Landuse/Landcover, Hydrogeomorphology, and Annual consideration of the valuation of groundwater assets for the semi-arid region in and around Bommanahal Mandal of Anantapur District in Andhra Pradesh, Southern India. As a part of the study eight thematic layers and their functions have been designed applicable weights at the Saaty?s scale according to their comparative connotation in groundwater occurrence. The designed weights are normalized by using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) MIF techniques and eigenvector method to various thematic layers and their features. Further to create a groundwater potential map the chosen thematic maps are integrated by weighted linear grouping method in a GIS environment. Based on the groundwater potential index values, the study area is classified into four different groundwater potential zones such as 'good', 'moderate to good', 'moderate' and 'poor'. The new recharge structures have proposed to fulfill the demand of groundwater to expand the scope of groundwater for future generations. Considering the overlay analysis of geomorphology and drainage layer execution through GIS technologies, the appropriate sites for artificial recharge structures have been identified.

Modern and ancestral genotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Andhra Pradesh, India.

Project description:Traditionally, the distribution of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes in India has been characterized by widespread prevalence of ancestral lineages (TbD1+ strains and variants) in the south and the modern forms (TbD1(-) CAS and variants) predominating in the north of India. The pattern was, however, not clearly known in the south-central region such as Hyderabad and the rest of the state of Andhra Pradesh where the prevalence of both tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is one of the highest in the country; this area has been the hotspot of TB vaccine trials. Spoligotyping of 101 clinical isolates obtained from Hyderabad and rural Andhra Pradesh confirmed the occurrence of major genogroups such as the ancestral (or the TbD1+ type or the East African Indian (EAI) type), the Central Asian (CAS) or Delhi type and the Beijing lineage in Andhra Pradesh. Sixty five different spoligotype patterns were observed for the isolates included in this study; these were further analyzed based on specific genetic signatures/mutations. It was found that the major genogroups, CAS and "ancestral," were almost equally prevalent in our collection but followed a north-south compartmentalization as was also reported previously. However, we observed a significant presence of MANU lineage in south Andhra Pradesh, which was earlier reported to be overwhelmingly present in Mumbai. This study portrays genotypic diversity of M. tuberculosis from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and provides a much needed snapshot of the strain diversity that will be helpful in devising effective TB control programs in this part of the world.

Cost-effectiveness of HIV prevention interventions in Andhra Pradesh state of India.

Project description:BackgroundInformation on cost-effectiveness of the range of HIV prevention interventions is a useful contributor to decisions on the best use of resources to prevent HIV. We conducted this assessment for the state of Andhra Pradesh that has the highest HIV burden in India.MethodsBased on data from a representative sample of 128 public-funded HIV prevention programs of 14 types in Andhra Pradesh, we have recently reported the number of HIV infections averted by each type of HIV prevention intervention and their cost. Using estimates of the age of onset of HIV infection, we used standard methods to calculate the cost per Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) saved as a measure of cost-effectiveness of each type of HIV prevention intervention.ResultsThe point estimates of the cost per DALY saved were less than US $50 for blood banks, men who have sex with men programmes, voluntary counselling and testing centres, prevention of parent to child transmission clinics, sexually transmitted infection clinics, and women sex worker programmes; between US $50 and 100 for truckers and migrant labourer programmes; more than US $100 and up to US $410 for composite, street children, condom promotion, prisoners and workplace programmes and mass media campaign for the general public. The uncertainty range around these estimates was very wide for several interventions, with the ratio of the high to the low estimates infinite for five interventions.ConclusionsThe point estimates for the cost per DALY saved from the averted HIV infections for all interventions was much lower than the per capita gross domestic product in this Indian state. While these indicative cost-effectiveness estimates can inform HIV control planning currently, the wide uncertainty range around estimates for several interventions suggest the need for more firm data for estimating cost-effectiveness of HIV prevention interventions in India.

Type-specific seroprevalence of bluetongue in Andhra Pradesh, India, during 2005-2009.

Project description:Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious, arthropod-borne viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV), which is a double-stranded segmented RNA virus. Of the 26 confirmed BTV serotypes, 23 were reported in India based on the detection of antibodies or virus. In order to assess the prevalence of different serotypes in Andhra Pradesh, serum samples which were positive for BTV by group-specific antibody ELISA were subjected to type-specific neutralization of BTV serotypes 1, 2, 9, 10, 21 and 23. Of the 52 samples tested, 50.0, 44.23, 21.15, 26.92, 0, and 15.38 % neutralized BTV serotypes 1, 2, 9, 10, 21 and 23, respectively. However, 32.69 % of the ELISA positive sera could not neutralize any of these serotypes, indicating that there could be other serotype viruses (e.g., BTV-3 and -16) circulating in the State. This method can be used for surveillance of the circulating serotypes as well as for assessing the level of herd immunity, and assist in determining the vaccine strains to be used in multivalent vaccines.

Geochemical behavior of fluoride-rich groundwater in Markapur, Andhra Pradesh, South India.

Project description:Excess fluoride in drinking water has been one of the leading problem faced by the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Significantly in India the people suffer from fluorosis comparing to other toxic elements like Arsenic etc., in drinking water. Approximately, in India the excessive fluoride in groundwater is noticed in 177 districts covering 21 states, affecting 66 million people, including 6 million children and Moreover, the latest estimation gives nearly 200 million people, from among 25 nations the world over, are affected by the deadly disease of fluorosis [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. The fluoride of the groundwater varies from 0.4 to 5.8 mg/L with a mean of 1.98 mg/L (Table 1 & 2), which indicates that the concentration of fluoride is not uniform in the study area. In general intake of small quantities of fluoride in the permissible limit of 0.5 to 1 mg/L is known to be beneficial for human health in production and maintenance of proper health. However, in India safe limit of fluoride in potable water is considered to be between 0.6 to 1.2 mg/L, less than 0.6 mg/L can cause dental caries, while higher than 1.2 mg/L leads to fluorosis [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16].

Biological Significance of Marine Actinobacteria of East Coast of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Project description:An attempt was made to identify actinobacterial strains present in the marine soil of East Coast regions viz., Chirala, Bapatla, and Peddaganjam, Andhra Pradesh; Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu and Goa, Goa along with the study of their antimicrobial potential. Eight out of 73 actinobacterial strains isolated from these regions showed strong antimicrobial activity against Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria, and Candida albicans. Molecular identification (16S rRNA analysis) of the eight strains revealed that they belong to Dietzia sp., Kocuria sp., Nocardiopsis sp., and Streptomyces spp. ISP (International Streptomyces project) -1, ISP-2 and starch casein media supported high antimicrobial potential after 5-6 days of growth. Production of antimicrobials by the strains varied significantly with different carbon and nitrogen sources. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis of volatile compounds produced by the strains illustrated an array of antimicrobial compounds such as 1, 2-benzene dicarboxylic acid, 2-piperidinone, pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dion, phenyl ethyl alcohol, 3-phenyl propionic acid etc. Ours is the first report on the study and detection of above mentioned antimicrobial metabolites from Dietzia sp. (A3), Kocuria sp. (A5), and Nocardiopsis sp. (A7). By sequence based analysis for secondary metabolites, non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster was noticed in six strains (A2, A3, A4, A6, A7, and A8) and none of them had polyketide synthase (PKS) system. The present study intimates the biological potentiality of the actinobacterial strains isolated from East Coast of Andhra Pradesh, India which reveals further scope to investigate new bioactive compounds from them by employing both natural product chemistry and modern biotechnological aspects.
