Abstract
Green synthesis is one of the promising pathways for biologically active nanoscale materials. Herein, an eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) was carried out using an extract of Teucrium stocksianum. The biological reduction and size of NPS were optimized by controlling the physicochemical parameters such as concentration, temperature, and pH. A comparison of fresh and air-dried plant extracts was also undertaken to establish a reproducible methodology. The biosynthesized SNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, SEM, DLS, and XRD analyses. The prepared SNPs exhibited significant biological potential against multi-drug-resistant pathogenic strains. The results revealed that the biosynthesized SNPs exhibit high antimicrobial activity at low concentrations compared to the parent plant extract. Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values were found between 5.3 µg/mL to 9.7 µg/mL for the biosynthesized SNPs, whereas the aqueous extract of the plant showed many high values of MIC, i.e., between 69 and 98 µg/ML. Furthermore, the synthesized SNPs were found efficient in the photolytic degradation of methylene blue under sunlight.

Abstract
This review highlights the diagnostic methods used, the control strategies adopted, and the global epidemiological status of canine cyclic thrombocytopenia and granulocytic anaplasmosis at the animal–human interface. Canine anaplasmosis is an important worldwide disease, mainly caused by Anaplasma platys and A. phagocytophilum with zoonotic implications. A. platys chiefly infects platelets in canids, while A. phagocytophilum is the most common zoonotic pathogen infecting neutrophils of various vertebrate hosts. Diagnosis is based on the identification of clinical signs, the recognition of intracellular inclusions observed by microscopic observation of stained blood smear, and/or methods detecting antibodies or nucleic acids, although DNA sequencing is usually required to confirm the pathogenic strain. Serological cross-reactivity is the main problem in serodiagnosis. Prevalence varies from area to area depending on tick exposure. Tetracyclines are significant drugs for human and animal anaplasmosis. No universal vaccine is yet available that protects against diverse geographic strains. The control of canine anaplasmosis therefore relies on the detection of vectors/reservoirs, control of tick vectors, and prevention of iatrogenic/mechanical transmission. The control strategies for human anaplasmosis include reducing high-risk tick contact activities (such as gardening and hiking), careful blood transfusion, by passing immunosuppression, recognizing, and control of reservoirs/vectors.

Abstract
Zn, Cu, Co and Ni are biocompatible metals as they are active center of many enzymes in the human body. Incorporation of these biocompatible metals into 3-(o-Sulfamoylphenyl) carbamoylbenzoic acid (I) makes them able to prove an excellent antimicrobial agent. In the present study Ni (II), Co (II), Cu(II) and Zn (II) complexes (III-VI) were synthesized from ligand (I) derive from 3-(o-Sulfamoylphenyl) carbamoylbenzoic acid and zinc, nickel, cobalt acetate tetrahydrate/copper acetate monohydrate. Synthesized complexes (III-VI) were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13CNMR. III-VI have 81-93% yield while melting points recorded were in the range of 209-239oC. Purity of ligands and their respective complexes was confirmed by TLC. Results of antibacterial properties suggested that III, IV, V and VI were highly active against gram +ve (S. epidermidis, B. subtilis. S. aureus, S. mutans) and gram -ve bacteria (E. coli and P. aruginosa). Comparison was also performed to check whether metal complexes or ligand with its derivative exhibit best result against all tested strains. The anthelmintic activity of the complexes III-VI against tape worm, liver fluke, thread worm, and hook worm using three different concentrations (15, 30, 45mg/mL), significantly (p<0.01) paralyzed the worms followed by death, which was comparable with that of the standard. Overall results indicated that S. epidermidis, S. mutans, E. coli and B. subtilis are very sensitive to complex III & IV and can be used for treatment of bacterial infections whereas Complex-V, could a potent target for anti-parasite therapy.
