The study presents the results of a cross-sectional survey to describe epidemiology ascarid and strongylid nematodes in horses, impact diverse climatic conditions on parasite diversity levels faecal egg shedding different age groups managed Thoroughbred horses. Individual samples (n = 1377) collected from 62 farms across four zones Australia were analysed using modified McMaster technique for counts (FECs) identified utilising PCR-directed next-generation sequencing (NGS) second internal...
This study quantified the extent of anthelmintic resistance (AR) to ascarid and strongylid nematodes among commonly used anthelmintics in Australian Thoroughbred horses. Faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRTs, n = 86) reappearance period (ERP) were conducted on 22 farms across Australia. counts (FECs) determined using modified McMaster technique, percent faecal (%FECR) was calculated Bayesian hierarchical model hybrid Frequentist/Bayesian analysis method. The results interpreted old...
Abstract Background Cyathostomins are the most important and common parasitic nematodes of horses, with > 50 species known to occur worldwide. The frequent indiscriminate use anthelmintics has resulted in development anthelmintic resistance (AR) horse nematodes. In this study we assessed efficacy commonly used against cyathostomins Australian thoroughbred horses. Methods Two drug trials per farm were conducted on two farms state Victoria, Australia. first trial, horses Farm A treated...
Abstract Background Gastrointestinal parasites such as nematodes and coccidia are responsible for significant economic losses in the goat industry globally. An indiscriminate use of antiparasitic drugs, primarily registered sheep cattle, goats has resulted drug-resistant gastrointestinal parasites. Very little is known about parasite control practices used by Australian dairy farmers that pivotal achieving sustainable economically important The study reported here provides insights into...
Pet animals have been considered a potential carrier of clinically important multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli. However, little is known about the role pets as reservoirs extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli in Pakistan. This study was designed to determine prevalence and genetic relatedness ESBL-producing multidrug-resistant pets, their owners, veterinary professionals.A total 105 fecal samples were collected from dogs, cats, professionals clinics. Isolates subjected...
Recent outbreak of novel Coronavirus disease () pandemic around the world is associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome. The death toll increasing day by day. SARS-CoV-2 an enveloped virus and its N terminal domain (NTD) Nucleocapsid protein (N protein) binds to viral (+) sense RNA results in ribonucleoprotien complex, essential for replication. composed a serine-rich linker region sandwiched between NTD C (CTD). These terminals play role entry processing post entry. forms...
Ivermectin is widely used in veterinary practice for the treatment of ecto- and endo-parasites. In wildlife, an extra-label use this parasiticide sometimes associated with toxicity. Different regimens have been ivermectin toxicosis. The present report describes a successful reversal toxicity by intravenous administration commercially available lipid emulsion captive African lion (Panthera leo). A 2-year old leo) weighing ~130 kg was presented acute neurological impairment bilateral blindness...
This study reports the spatial and temporal distribution of ascarid strongylid nematodes in Thoroughbred horses by age category across different climatic zones Australia over an 18-month period. Faecal samples (n = 2046) from individual were analysed using modified McMaster technique for faecal egg counts (FECs). Strongylids identified PCR-directed next-generation sequencing second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) nuclear ribosomal DNA. Yearlings had highest prevalence (82%) strongyle...
We sought to unravel the genetic cause in a consanguineous Pakistani family with complex neurological phenotype.Neurological and ophthalmological examination, including videotaping fundoscopy, investigations, homozygosity mapping exome sequencing, were performed at University of Punjab Lübeck. Participants included 2 severely affected cousins from parents, 10 their reportedly unaffected relatives, 342 controls. Motor symptoms patients started age 3 4 years chorea, cerebellar ataxia,...
Listeriosis is a severe foodborne disease commonly caused by eating contaminated food with the Listeria species.A large variety of foods, especially dairy foods and ready-to-eat products, can support growth pathogens.Outbreaks listeriosis have been related milk, cheese, vegetable salads, meat fatality rates are typically around 20% due to listeriosis.The Centers for Disease Control Prevention evaluates that 2500 infections more than 500 deaths each year in United States.A total 125 milk...
Coxiellosis caused by Coxiella burnetii is a cosmopolitan zoonosis, which causes significant losses through abortions and stillbirths in small ruminants. A cross-sectional seroprevalence study was conducted two major sheep goat farming districts of Punjab (Layyah Muzaffargarh), Pakistan. In total, 542 ruminants (271 goats each) both sexes (60 males 482 females) different age groups from 104 flocks (52 either species) were randomly selected for the collection sera related epidemiological...
Aging cannot be defeated in anyway the world even having new and advanced technology.But molecular mechanism is a successful method to control aging.Many complex multifunctional factors are main cause of aging.It evident that studies regarding cellular, genetic, pathological biochemical changes exploring more pathways linking various diverse explaining aging.Implications basic mechanisms aging for improving both longevity quality life human needs clear understanding takes long time.However,...
This study aimed to assess Australian veterinarians’ knowledge, perceptions and treatment strategies for worm control in horses with an online questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised 64 questions covering various aspects of: (i) veterinary practice; (ii) the veterinarian’s knowledge of gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) importance parasites different age groups horses; (iii) diagnosis worms; (iv) anthelmintics anthelmintic resistance (AR); (v) grazing management; (vi) means communication...
Methicillin resistant -Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an organism responsible for causing deadly infections in man, poultry and several other animal species.Ever since the discovery of MRSA decade 1960's, it has been isolated reported live birds their meat products worldwide.Strikingly, recovered from share a common ancestry with isolates human origin.Furthermore, colonizes skin mucous membranes both man poultry.This colonizing ability not only cause nonresponsive but can also be...
The present study aimed to evaluate the immunopotentiating effect of plant-derived soyasaponin and its immunogenicity in chickens challenged with Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Soyasaponin was extracted from soybean seeds detected using phytochemical tests, followed by quantification through dry-weight method. One-day-old broiler chicks (n = 90) were divided into 3 groups, named as A, B, C. Group A birds orally administrated (5 mg/kg), immunization inactivated ND vaccine intramuscularly...
