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

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

The present study was carried out to assess the anticoccidial and immuno-modulatory effects of indigenous Azadirachta indica against experimental coccidiosis in poultry. The ethanolic extract of A. indica at dose rate of 7g/liter of drinking water showed better weight gain (p < 0.05) in poultry compared to untreated control group, however, there was non-significant difference in feed conversion ratio. The immunological parameters viz. humoral immune response and cell mediated immune responses were measured by haemagglutination inhibition titre values and delayed type hypersensitivity reaction in terms of skin thickness measurement, respectively. Azadirachta indica treated group maintained a significantly high level of HI titres (1.603 ± 0.06) compared to untreated group (1.405 ± 0.06) and showed the maximum skin thickness (2.51 ± 0.14 mm) at 72 hours post exposure as compared to the untreated (1.405 ± 0.06 mm) suggestive of its immunomodulatory properties. There was a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in oocysts per gram of faeces (OPG) in the experimentally infected birds, fed with the ethanolic extract of A. indica at dose rate of 7g/liter of drinking water indicating its therapeutic property against coccidiosis in poultry.Keywords

The anthelmintic effect of indigenous medicinal plants namely Embelia ribes (seed) and Mangifera indica (bark) was evaluated against the exogenous stages of the poultry nematode Ascaridia galli. In vitro egg embryonation assay showed that the methanolic extract of Embelia ribes showed better inhibitory effect (61.23%) on the embryonation of eggs of Ascaridia galli than its aqueous extract (58.20%). Both M. indica and E. ribes had low inhibitory effect on the activity of second larval stage (L2) inside egg shell. The in vitro assay for larvicidal activity on the deshelled larvae of A. galli revealed that the aqueous extract of Embelia ribes at a concentration of 20 mg/ml exhibited moderate inhibitory effect of 77.66 ± 1.85 %. Adult motility assay revealed that the methanolic extract of E. ribes had a significant anthelmintic efficacy of 88.33%. The extracts from M. indica were found to have very low to moderate anthelmintic properties against various developmental stages of A. galli.Keywords

The anthelmintic effect of Carica papaya was evaluated against the exogenous and endogenous stages of the poultry nematode Ascaridia galli. This study aimed at assessing whether C.papaya could emerge as an alternative to anthelmintics for the control of A. galli in poultry production. For this purpose, the anthelmintic effect of both aqueous and methanolic extracts of C. papaya (seeds) was evaluated. Aqueous extract of C. papaya was found to be 93.33% effective against the deshelled larvae of A. galli at 60 mg/ml concentration. Adult motility assay revealed that the C. papaya aqueous extract was 100% effective in killing the adult worms of A. galli @ 20mg/ml. The anthelmintic effect was concentration and time dependent. The in vivo trials revealed that the aqueous extract of C. papaya @ 40 mg/ kg was effective in reducing the egg counts by 90.47% and the total worm count by 83.66% at 15 day post treatment.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.
