As obligate blood-feeding arthropods, ticks transmit pathogens to humans and domestic animals more often than other arthropod vectors. Livestock farming plays a vital role in the rural economy of Pakistan, tick infestation causes serious problems with it. However, research on species diversity tick-borne has rarely been conducted Pakistan. In this study, systematic investigation infesting livestock different ecological regions Pakistan was determine microbiome pathobiome indigenous ticks.

AbstractThe development of drug resistance in Eimeria is common because extensive use anticoccidial drugs for the control avian coccidiosis. The significance chemotherapy evident from fact that, spite advancement field immunological, biotechnological and genetic methods, prophylactic with still widely used In such situations, new should be available to replace older ones against which has developed, however it takes a long time develop any compounds. It therefore currently necessary...

Poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae), the haematophagous pest of egg laying hens, is an important problem in poultry production many parts world. Control has typically relied on synthetic acaricides spite advancements immunological, biotechnological and genetic approaches. However, repeated long term use these compounds resulted development drug resistant populations mites, therefore, availability effective diminishing rapidly. Due to this, there need for continuous new chemical replace...

The in vitro and vivo anthelmintic activity of Nicotiana tabacum L. leaves was studied to rationalize its traditional use. Live Haemonchus contortus were used assess the effect a crude aqueous extract (CAE) methanol (CME) N. tabacum. inhibitory both extracts evident from paralysis and/or mortality worms noted at 6 h post-exposure. For studies, CAE CME administered increasing doses (1.0–3.0 g/kg) sheep naturally infected with mixed species gastrointestinal nematodes. A maximum reduction 73.6%...

SUMMARY The objective of the present study was to evaluate anticoccidial effect different concentrations herbal complex 4 plants (leaves Azadirachta indica and Nicotiana tabacum, flowers Calotropis procera seeds Trachyspermum ammi ) in broiler chickens comparison with amprolium anticoccidial. Three (2 g, g 6 g) were given experimental groups once a day (at dose rate 125 ppm) orally drinking water from 14th 21st days age. One group kept as infected, non-medicated control one non-infected,...
