African horse sickness is a highly contagious and fatal disease that affects horses, donkeys, and mules. It is caused by the African horse sickness virus, which is transmitted by biting midges. There are 9 different serotypes of the virus. The disease has an incubation period of 2 to 21 days on average. Symptoms vary in severity from sudden high fever and respiratory issues to slower developing fever and edema of the head and neck. The disease has high mortality rates, even in milder cases, and causes lesions such as hydrothorax, bronchopneumonia, and hemorrhages in organs. Diagnosis is made through observed symptoms and lesions, inoculating mice, and virus neutralization tests.

heileriases are a group of tickborne diseases caused by Theileria spp. A large number of Theileria spp are found in domestic and wild animals in tick-infested areas of the Old World. The most important species affecting cattle are T parva and T annulata, which cause widespread death in tropical and subtropical areas of the Old World. T lestoquardi, T luwenshuni, and T uilenbergi are important causes of mortality in sheep.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

• 2. Characteristic oedema of head (temporal fossa), lips, eyelids,
• neck and chest.
• 3. Tongue swollen, cynotic with petchiae on the ventral
• surface.
• 4. Paralysis of oesophagus-difficulty in swallowing.
• 5. Cardiac failure-pulmonary edema-hydropericardium and
• endocarditis.
• 6. Mortality high due to pulmonary form.

• 2. Anorexia, dyspnoea and mild conjunctivitis.
• 3. Mortality varies 25-90%.
7. Lesions
Pulmonary form
• Hydrothorax, usually accompanied by severe oedema of subplural,
interlobular stroma and fills alveoli in many lobes.
• There is leucocytosis with Bronchopneumonia.
Cardiac form:
• Hydropericardium with petechae and inflammatory oedema in
epicardium.
• Myocodial necrosis, haemorrhages.
• Lymphopoenia is evident in spleen and lymph nodes.
8. • Oedema around pharynx might be due to paralysis of oesophagus.
• Haemorrhages in gastric mucosa and pelvic fat of kidneys.
Diagnosis:
• 1. Based on symptoms and lesions
