Caprine theileriosis is a major production problem in regions of the world that rely on goats as source milk, meat, and other means economic income. Theileria ovis lestoquardi are responsible for caprine Pakistan. The present study examined prevalence spp. infection using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) light microscopy blood collected from Multan, In addition, identity genus ticks feeding these was determined specimens at time sampling. current project hypothesized would be higher infested...
The protozoan Neospora caninum and the bacterium Brucella abortus are well-recognized causes of abortion in dairy cattle. Serum samples (n = 240) from aborting 141) at-risk 99) animals 5 herds with high rates Punjab Province, Pakistan, were tested for antibodies to N. using monoclonal antibody–based ELISA B. serum agglutination test. Antibodies detected 105 (43.8%) 135 (56.3%) cattle, respectively. Prevalences higher cows (46.8% 76.6%, P < 0.05) than at risk (39.4% 27.3%, > 0.05). Sixty-six...
Neospora caninum is a major cause of bovine abortion worldwide. A serological survey was carried out to determine the seroprevalence exposure N. in dairy cattle based on age and breed from Punjab Sindh provinces, Pakistan. Serum samples 641 animals 12 herds (n = 7) 5) provinces were tested for antibodies against using commercially available competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Positive reactions seen 277 (43%) samples. Seropositive present all herds. Animals over 2 yr (47%)...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a vector-borne infection caused by flagellated parasitic protozoans in the genus Leishmania. Promastigotes are infective stage, which transmitted bite of female sand flies genera Phlebotomus or Lutzomyia. Three clinical forms Leishmania recognized humans, and they different species. They cutaneous (CL), mucocutaneous (ML), visceral (VL). Up to 2 million cases reported annually worldwide. In Pakistan, CL widely distributed endemic areas. current study, survey was...
Toxoplasma gondii infections are prevalent in humans and warm-blooded animals. Maternal during pregnancy may have devastating consequences for transplacentally infected neonates. This study was conducted to examine the seroprevalence of antibodies T. pregnant women childbearing age determine risk factors associated with history, pet ownership, social cultural at Nishtar Hospital, Multan. Samples were collected from 403 examined using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...

Canine babesiosis is a serious threat to dogs' health worldwide, caused by the intra-erythrocytic Babesia species. The present study was carried out in pet dogs presented at three clinics of Lahore and one Narowal Punjab, Pakistan. Two hundred blood samples (50 from each clinic) were collected screened microscopy for spp. Out 200 samples, 84 (42%) found be positive babesiosis. highest number cases (50%) recorded clinic. Non-significant variation (p > 0.05) observed prevalence relation sex...
Anopheles subpictus s.l. Grassi (Diptera: Culicidae) is a malaria vector in South Asia, where insecticides are the mainstay for control interventions. Information on any variation metabolic enzyme levels mosquitoes helpful with respect to adapting alternative strategies control.

Whole-blood choline, plasma choline and serum are emerging biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To examine the association of is an early predictor for cardiac events. In case control study, we enrolled 240 individuals including 120 normal (39 females 82 males) cases (49 71 where age limit was >40 years) Information through interviews, family disease history, 24 recall diet assessment blood sampling. Odds ratios express associated risks with CVD without patients. healthy...
