Helminth parasitic infections are a considerable constraint to the livestock industries worldwide. Nematode parasites cause major proportion of harm livestock. The caused accountable for severe economic losses in cattle, goat and sheep farming industries. Morbidity mortality due diseases increasing alarmingly. Also, their zoonotic influence on human health is considered significant. Anthelmintic drugs have been developed occasionally curb this disease prevent losses. But development...
Surveys on the prevalence of various intestinal parasitic infections in different geographic regions is a prerequisite for developing appropriate control strategies. The aim present study was to determine schoolchildren enrolled schools Srinagar City, Kashmir, India, and assess epidemiological factors associated with extent endemic disease. Stool samples were collected from 514 students 4 middle schools. processed use both simple smear zinc sulphate concentration methods, then...
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remain a major threat to the health of children throughout world, mostly in developing nations. The aim present study was determine any relationship between STHs and hemoglobin status school Kashmir Valley (India). Stool blood samples were collected from 382 male female age group 5-15 yr all 6 districts Valley. Finger-prick used collect hemoglobin, which then measured on-site by Sahli's acid hematin method; stool processed using both simple smear zinc...
In search of a natural antiparasitic, in vitro and vivo anthelmintic activities methanol aqueous extracts Iris kashmiriana Linn. rhizome were tested against gastrointestinal nematodes sheep. A worm motility inhibition assay was used for study faecal egg count reduction study. Crude I. exhibited greater activity Haemonchus contortus than crude methanolic extract (P < 0.05). The resulted mean 85.0%, while 100.0%. sheep naturally infected with mixed species demonstrated maximum (70.27%) treated...
The investigation on the seasonal incidence of oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata was conducted at Faculty Agriculture, Wadura SKUAST-K during kharif 2021. Shalimar composite-6 maize variety cultivated under standard practices for Kashmir valley, recommended by SKUAST-K. pest activity crop growth period monitored using light traps and visual observations. Findings revealed that adult M. emerged in 18th meteorological week (SMW) with its peak 24th remained active until 37th week. Similarly,...
Summary Indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectiveness in immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis experimental clinical cases sheep by using somatic whole adult antigen H. contortus. Plate ELISA 5 µg/well concentration with 1:100 1:1000 sera conjugate dilution. able to demonstrate the antibody titre at different weeks post infection sheep. A comparison on suspected field faecal sample examination floatation method revealed that 74 samples were...
Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease that causes economic losses and public health problems throughout the globe. Present study was undertaken to estimate seroprevalence of cystic in humans South Kashmir determine risk factors associated with this disease. The present carried out from April 2017 March 2018, during which 458 blood samples (from 222 males 236 females) were collected selected subjects 12 villages four districts along demographic characteristics. Samples analyzed by an...
Morphology and morphometry is used as tools for parasite identification since times immemorial, however this trend has been no longer the last decades became dependent on molecular characterization. However, possible in developed Countries while developing underdeveloped Countries, like India, still largely depend traditional techniques. In investigation an attempt was made to study morphology of adult Trichuris ovis recovered from caecum ruminants Ladakh order access effect area, host,...
