Snail Slime: This system has great potential to kill the mosquito larvae that cause many other diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, zika virus etc.
Cancer Medicine: For the first time, anti-cancer drugs with antibiotics have been confirmed in snails, which are a headache for farmers. Researchers at Sri Shiv Chhatrapati College, Junnar have also succeeded in developing a bio-nanocomposite system that kills pathogenic mosquito larvae. Even earlier, the same scientists had published a research paper predicting the possibility of anti-cancer properties.
A team of scientists has synthesized copper and cobalt oxide bio-nanocomposite from the mucus (sticky secretion) of ‘Giant African Snail’ i.e. ‘Achatina fulica’ snail. Head and Vice-Principal of Zoology Department Prof. Dr. Ravindra Choudhary said, “Snail mucus contains a small amount of protein. They help during the synthesis of biochemical compounds. Acts as a cover on it.
A researcher in the study Dr.”The current bio-nanocomposite has shown antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,” says Pramod Mane. Information Researcher Dr. Provided by Deepali Mane and Aditya Chaudhary.
Ashok Khadse said, “This system has tremendous potential to eradicate mosquito larvae that cause many diseases such as winter fever, dengue, chikungunya, Zika virus and others.” has been National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) is also involved in this.
Characteristics of research
• Bio-nanocomposite has medicinal applications and does not harm any living organisms.
• Copper and cobalt oxide bio-nanocomposite experiments were conducted on wheat crop. Studies have shown that there is no adverse effect on the germination capacity of wheat and its green matter, root and stem growth.
Animals and their various components have been used for medicine since ancient times. The importance of animal resources for human medicinal treatment is also unique. Combining nanotechnology and biological tools in the modern era is a good example of sustainable development through sustainable use of biodiversity.”
