"Nano – Immuno Rapid Test for Detection of Para – Tuberculosis in Milk"
AIMT organized a guest Lecture on Nano–Immuno Rapid Test for Detection of Paratuberculosis in Milk. Prof. (Dr.) G. K. Aseri, Dy. Pro Vice-Chancellor and Director-AIMT has welcomed and introduced Prof. S. V. Singh on behalf of AUR.
Dr. Singh has started his interaction by giving thanks to Amity University Rajasthan for awarding Honorary Professorship and inviting for this lecture also.
He has given students insights of the global picture of the Paratuberculosis in the livestock species as well as its zoonotic importance. Dr Singh informed students that Paratuberculosis bacilli are not killed by pasteurization of milk and milk is transmission vehicle for this pathogen to humans. Therefore there is a need to develop rapid and onsite test to detect this pathogen in milk. He shared the findings of joint project between AUR and CIRG on the development of Nano-Immuno Rapid test to detect Paratuberculosis bacilli in milk, Dr. Jagdip Sohal – Asst. Professor – AIMT was the CC - Principal Investigator in the same. He also informed the house that the project findings were highly appreciated by the expert group of SERB – DST during final presentation of the project at IIT – Delhi. He demonstrated the successful development of rapid field test jointly developed by AUR and CIRG. He advised students to take the milk after proper boiling. Students raised many queries and were satisfied by Dr Singh
Event ended with the vote of thanks by Dr Deepansh Sharma.
