Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) induces colibacillosis, an acute and systemic disease, resulting in substantial economic losses the poultry sector. This study aimed to investigate antibiotic resistance pattern associated with frequent virulence gene distribution APEC O78:K80 that may cause pathological alterations chickens. The antibiogram profile showed high erythromycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, followed by intermediate ciprofloxacin,...
Tick infestation poses an important challenge to livestock in Pakistan. Farm management practices and environmental variables can influence tick prevalence animals. To this end, a cross-sectional survey of 96 farms four different geographical districts (24 from each district) was conducted Punjab, Pakistan, between October 2021 January 2022. An epidemiological questionnaire designed focusing on farm their impact infestations at these farms. Data were collected via in-person interviews....
Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella is a parasitic disease affecting chickens.In Pakistan, there has been no previously published report on phylogenetic analysis of tenella.In this retrospective study, tissue samples were collected from flock clinically infected chicken followed haematology, serum biochemistry, and histopathology.Species specific PCR based polymorphic site the ITS1 gene was developed used to identify organism.Haematological examination blood demonstrated decrease in total...
Purpose: To develop a sensitive, reliable and cost-effective bioanalytical method for the pharmacokinetic analysis of rasagiline in human plasma.Method: Rasagiline was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction analyzed reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using mixture ammonium acetate (pH 5.8) acetonitrile (55:45, v/v) as mobile phase at flow rate 1 mL/min. The separation performed on Lichrosphere reverse-phase (RP) C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) ambient...
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and avian influenza (AIV) are causing contagious diseases in chickens wild birds worldwide; however, there is a paucity of information on the current status seropositivity Pakistan. Therefore, present study aimed to investigate serological evidence both commercial poultry (broiler, layer chickens), backyard poultry, captive poultry‑dense regions Punjab, Enzyme‑linked immunosorbent (ELISA) haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assays were performed for determination...
Many places in District Lahore such as parks, streets and our homes where people keep pigeons captivity are highly contaminated with pigeon feces. The study was conducted for the bacterial parasitic profiling of native pigeons, drooping's might be cause zoonotic contamination. During 200 fecal samples 100 free roaming each were collected examined laboratory. subjected to enrichment culturing on tetrathionate broth (TTB) Brilliant Green Agar plates isolation Salmonella spp. because its...
The present study elucidated sero-prevalence of Mycobacterium avium sub sp.paratuberculosis (MAP) in cattle and buffalo.Diarrhea is a major risk factor for MAP, so 1100 blood samples were collected from diarrheic animals or having history some episodes four districts Punjab i.e.Kasur (n=300), Rawalpindi (n=230), Lahore (n=230) Bahawalpur (n=340).These tested using ELISA overall seroprevalence found was 39.64%.The host-associated non-associated factors MAP also considered.It that positive...
