A study was conducted to observe the incidence of gastrointestinal parasitic infections, qualitatively and quantitatively in apparently healthy Chegu goats from the tribal area of Lahaul and Spiti of Himachal Pradesh to generate a baseline data of the natural parasitic infections in that area. The qualitative coprological studies revealed that 76.66% goats were positive for one or another type of gastrointestinal parasites. The coccidian oocysts, ova of strongyles and amphistomes were found in 71.42%, 17.85% and 3.57%, animals, respectively. The quantitative coprological studies revealed the average egg per gram of faeces (EPG) to be 257.14 ± 62.67 with a range of 100 1200. Eimeria parva, Eimeria ovina and Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae were the species of coccidia that were identified. The average oocyst per gram of faeces was found to be 1010.71 ± 93.72 and it ranged between 300-2300.Keywords

The present study was carried out for two years from April 2015 to April 2017 on a total of 2277 dogs presented to the Department of Veterinary Medicine, Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, DGCN COVAS Palampur (H.P) from different parts of the Himachal Pradesh as well as neighbouring areas of Punjab. Preliminary screening of dogs for renal disorders was based on the patient's history, clinical signs and routine urinalysis. Furthermore, haemato-biochemical estimation, urine culture and imaging techniques were used for confirmatory and differential diagnosis of renal failure. A total of 108 dogs were found to be suffering from renal disorders indicating incidence of 4.74%. The maximum incidence (50.92%) was found in dogs more than 8 years of age. Males were more affected than females. Labrador Retriever breed was most affected (26.85%) followed by Pomeranian (16.67%) whereas Saint Bernard and Great Dane were least affected (0.93%).Keywords

This report describes the detection and effective management of Hepatozoon canis infection in a male dog for the first time from Himachal Pradesh. The anamnestic information of affected dog revealed anorexia, shivering, weakness, vomition, lethargy and un-responsiveness to antibiotic therapy. Clinical examination unveiled fever, pale mucous membranes, enlargement of prescapular lymph nodes and dullness. Clinical findings, hemato-biochemical parameters, parasitological and therapeutic management strategies were then evaluated. Important hematological outcomes consisted of anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis. Parasitological examinations revealed gamonts of H. canis within neutrophils in thin blood smears. The dog was successfully treated using combination drug therapy consisting of imidocarb dipropionate and doxycycline, which had proven therapeutic efficacy against hepatozoonosis.Keywords

In this study, a total of 57 blood samples from cows and buffaloes showing clinical signs of high fever, anemia and/or swollen lymph nodeswere screened for haemoprotozoan infections using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Some asymptomatic animals were also included in the study. Out of 57 blood samples, 14 samples were positive for either one or the other haemoprotozoa reflecting an overall prevalence of 24.56%. A total of nine samples of which six from cows and three from buffaloes were positive for Theileria annulata and five samples all from cows were found positive for mixed infection of Babesia bovis and Anaplasma marginale. This study shows that haemoprotozoan infections are common in cows and buffaloes population of Kangra District of Himachal Pradeshdue to conduciveenvironmental conditions for survival of vectors responsible for carrying these infectious agents. PCR technique showed high sensitivity and specificityup to species level, as it not only detected the haemoprotozoan infections in active cases but also in asymptomatic carrier animals.Keywords

Haemato-biochemical changes in haemoprotozoa and rickettsia induced reactive hepatopathy in dogs and bovines were studied. Out of total 156 dogs presented in the clinics with hepatopathies, 65.38% were attributed to primary hepatitis and 34.62% to reactive hepatitis. Among dogs with clinical hepatopathy, 14.10% were diagnosed with haemoprotozoa/rickettsia infections viz. Babesia gibsoni (22.2%), Ehrlichia canis (14.81%) and mixed infection with Babesia gibsoni and Ehrlichia canis (3.7%). Age wise distribution revealed age group of 2 to <4 years and <2 years had higher incidence of haemoprotozoan induced reactive hepatitis. In bovines, 39.13% cases were diagnosed with reactive hepatitis out of which 23.19% were due to haemoprotozoa/rickettsial infections with Babesia bigemina, Theileria annulate and Anaplasma marginale. Age wise distribution revealed age group of 2 to<4 years and 4 to <6 years had higher incidence of haemoprotozoan induced reactive hepatitis. Haematological studies in dogs revealed significant (P<0.01) decrease in Hb, PCV, TEC values and platelet counts and increase in MCV, MCHC and TLC values in affected animals compared to the healthy control. Biochemical studies revealed significant increase in ALT,AST, ALP, GGT values along with increase in total bilirubin indicating hepatopathy. In cattle, haematological studies revealed significant decrease in Hb, PCV, TEC values with neutrophilia, lymphocytosis and monocytosis. A significant increase in AST, ALP, GGT and total bilirubin and BUN values was recorded.
