This document provides an overview of veterinary entomology and related topics. It defines veterinary entomology as the study of insects that cause disease or transmit pathogens in animals. It also discusses acarology, the study of mites and ticks, and defines arthropoda and entomology. The document outlines some key reasons for studying this subject, including insect-borne damage and disease transmission. It also lists some branches and characteristics of entomology.
This document summarizes the order Siphonaptera (fleas) and Strepsiptera (stylopids or twisted-wing parasites). It describes their key physical characteristics, lifecycles, taxonomy, and economic importance. Fleas are small, wingless blood-sucking parasites of mammals and birds. Their lifecycle involves eggs, larvae, pupae, and wingless adults. They can transmit diseases like plague. Stylopids are endoparasites of insects that undergo hypermetamorphosis, with non-feeding larval females and winged adult males. Their lifecycle and parasitic behavior induces morphological changes in their hosts. Both orders contain medically and economically important species.
Cockroaches are highly adaptive insects that can survive on many food sources and in varied environments. There are over 4,600 cockroach species, but only 30 share habitats with humans, with the German, American, Australian, and Oriental cockroaches being the most common pest species. Effective cockroach control requires preventing access to food, water, and shelter as well as regular cleaning and maintenance to deny habitats. Monitoring with traps helps locate infestations and track treatment effectiveness. A combination of residual sprays, non-residual sprays, dusts, and baits applied according to label instructions can help control cockroaches, with baits being particularly effective as they allow slow ingestion of poison.

Classification, Characterization and identification of Ditylenchus dipsaciHem Raj Pant
Ditylenchus dipsaci is an endoparasitic nematode that infects over 400 plant species. It is particularly prevalent in temperate regions and causes damage to economically important crops like onion and garlic. The nematode has a worldwide distribution. Females are 1000-1300 μm long and have a single ovary and vulva located at 75-80% of the body length. Identification is based on morphological characteristics under microscopy. Management involves crop rotation, certified planting materials, hot water treatment of bulbs, and fumigation of seeds.
Fleas are laterally compressed insects with powerful hind legs adapted for jumping. Males have longer antennae than females, which they use to grasp females during mating. Fleas have a hardened exoskeleton and spined combs on their legs and bodies. Their life cycle involves eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Larvae feed on organic debris while adults are parasitic, feeding on host blood. Fleas can transmit diseases like plague, murine typhus, tularemia, and tapeworms between hosts.
Trichostrongyloidea are small parasitic worms that infect the digestive tract of animals. Ostertagia is a genus of these worms that infects ruminants and causes parasitic gastritis. Ostertagia ostertagi specifically infects cattle. The life cycle is direct with eggs passed in feces and infective larvae ingestion causing infection. This can cause ostertagiasis, characterized by diarrhea, edema, and weight loss. Type I disease occurs in young cattle in summer while Type II occurs in older cattle in spring due to arrested larvae development. Diagnosis involves fecal egg counts and treatment uses anthelmintics effective against different larval stages.

Chicks are the most susceptible. The disease is caused by avian paramyxovirus type 1. Diagnosis can be made by detecting antibodies, isolating the virus, or identifying symptoms and lesions. Vaccination and strict biosecurity measures are important for prevention and control since there is no treatment available.
This document discusses anthelmintic (dewormer) resistance in small ruminants and strategies for dealing with it on farms. It notes that gastrointestinal parasites are a primary health problem for small ruminants. The barber pole worm has developed resistance to all anthelmintic drug classes. Numerous on-farm practices have accelerated resistance development. The document recommends producers determine which dewormers still work on their farm and minimize deworming needs through pasture management, general management practices, targeted selective treatment using FAMACHA or Five Point Check systems, and natural options like copper oxide particles or condensed tannin forages.
This document discusses beneficial and injurious insects. It begins by describing several commercially beneficial insects that produce honey, wax, lac, dyes and silk. It then discusses different categories of beneficial insects including those used for pollination, as predators of other insects, as parasites of harmful insects, and as decomposers. The document also notes several crops that depend on insect pollination. It concludes by describing several categories of injurious insects including disease transmitters, household pests, and those that damage domestic animals and crops.
Thrips (order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly 1 mm long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Different thrips species feed mostly on plants by puncturing and sucking up the contents, although a few are predators. Entomologists have described approximately 6,000 species.
Sandflies are small, blood-feeding flies that can transmit diseases like leishmaniasis. They are found worldwide and come in various colors. Female sandflies require blood meals for reproduction and can lay 100 eggs after feeding. They have piercing mouthparts adapted for sucking blood and are most active at twilight and night. Sandflies vary in size from 2-5mm and have six legs, wings, and undergo complete metamorphosis from egg to adult.
The document discusses the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) for controlling insect pest populations. It provides background on the history and development of SIT, including its initiation in the 1930s to control screwworm fly. SIT involves mass rearing insects, sterilizing males via radiation or chemicals, and releasing the sterile males to mate with wild females. This results in no offspring and population decline over time. Current SIT targets include various fly and mosquito species. Requirements for effective SIT implementation include methods for mass rearing, sterilization without affecting male competitiveness, and overwhelming the native population ratio with sterile insects. The technique has successfully eradicated several pests and provides a species-specific
This study tested for anthelmintic resistance on 30 sheep farms in the southeastern US. Fecal samples were tested using the DrenchRite larval development assay to determine resistance levels to various dewormer classes. Results found that all farms had resistance to at least one dewormer class, with 100% resistance to benzimidazoles. Resistance was worst in Georgia and better but still prevalent in Maryland and Virginia. The conclusions recommend that farmers test for resistance levels and use combination dewormer treatments due to widespread resistance issues.
Bed bugs have become a nationwide epidemic, affecting millions of people in hotels, apartments, houses, buses, schools, and other places. They were once common before World War 2 but were eliminated by DDT and have recently resurged due to bans on DDT, pesticide resistance, immigration, and international travel. Bed bugs feed on human blood and can reproduce rapidly, with females laying hundreds of eggs over their lifespan. Their bites can cause itching, swelling, and discomfort. Prevention and thorough treatment are important to avoid spreading or bringing in bed bugs.

The document provides guidance on quarantine, treatment, and eradication protocols to prevent and eliminate footrot from a flock or herd.
This document provides information on proper deworming methods for small ruminants. It discusses the different classes of dewormers available and lists specific dewormers within each class. It also covers topics like determining dewormer resistance, targeted selective treatment, tools for selective deworming decisions, and combination dewormer treatments. The document emphasizes the importance of following proper dosing and administration techniques to effectively deworm animals while preventing further development of dewormer resistance.
This document discusses goat hoof health and management. It covers the importance of regular hoof inspection and trimming to prevent issues like lameness. Factors that influence hoof growth like genetics, environment and diet are outlined. Common hoof diseases in goats like footrot, foot scald and foot abscesses are described along with their causes and treatments. The document provides guidance on developing a prevention and treatment plan for hoof diseases that includes quarantine of new animals, foot bathing, clean pastures and culling infected animals.
This document provides information for those considering getting goats. It discusses checking zoning laws and HOA rules, developing facilities and budgets, acquiring goats, and different goat production systems. Key points covered include the need to determine goals for goats, legal and neighbor considerations, ensuring adequate housing, fencing and supplies are in place, and acquiring goats through breeders versus auctions to avoid health risks. Production options like dairy, fiber, meat and vegetation control are overviewed.
Sheep and goats produce many marketable products including meat, fiber, dairy, and vegetation control through grazing. Meat from sheep and goats can be sold through traditional markets like auctions or cooperatives, or through non-traditional direct marketing to consumers. Fiber from sheep and goats can also be sold traditionally through pools or warehouses, or directly to consumers as raw fiber or value-added products. Dairy from sheep and goats has similar regulations to cow dairy but with more limited infrastructure and competition from imports. Sheep and goats can also provide vegetation control services through solar grazing programs.
This document discusses bacterial diseases in animals caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Dichelobacter nodusus which can have similar symptoms. Pregnancy toxemia is more common. Treatment involves using macrocyclic lactone dewormers like Ivomec or insecticides containing permethrins. The diseases can affect the abomasum and small intestines and may be clinical or sub-clinical.
The document provides guidelines for feeding sheep and goats at different stages of production. It discusses nutrient requirements for maintenance, flushing, gestation, lactation, weaning, and growing lambs and kids. Feeding recommendations are given for different forage types and amounts of grain supplementation. Protein levels are outlined for various classes of animals. The goal is to meet nutritional needs at lowest cost while maintaining body condition.
This document outlines the typical yearly cycle for raising sheep, beginning with breeding season in October and ending when the cycle repeats the following October. Key points include: rams are added in October to breed ewes; lambing occurs in March after a 152-day gestation; newborn lambs are jugged with their mothers and receive care; lambs are weaned at around 90 days old; ewes recover over summer before the breeding season starts again in the fall.
The document provides an overview of considerations for raising sheep, including different breeds and purposes for raising sheep, facilities and equipment needed, health and management practices, and regulations. Key factors that are discussed include deciding the purpose of raising sheep, such as for meat, wool, or dairy; land and fencing requirements; and common challenges like parasites, predators, and profitability. Resources are also provided for those interested in learning more about raising sheep.
This document provides information on managing internal parasites in small ruminants. It discusses the primary internal parasites affecting sheep and goats, including roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, coccidia, and protozoa. An integrated approach to parasite control is recommended, combining management strategies like grazing management with targeted selective treatment. Key management strategies include developing host immunity, husbandry practices, nutritional management, and genetic selection. Diagnostic tools for targeted treatment include FAMACHA, five point check, and fecal egg counts. Combination dewormer treatments are advised to slow development of anthelmintic resistance.
This document discusses strategies for controlling gastrointestinal parasites like Haemonchus contortus (barber pole worm) in small ruminants. It emphasizes using integrated and targeted approaches like selective deworming based on FAMACHA scores, pasture management, and limiting drug use to reduce anthelmintic resistance. Proper administration and alternating between drug classes is also important for effective control. Sustainable practices involve preventing environmental contamination through various animal health and grazing techniques.
This document provides information on dewormer use and resistance in goats from a presentation at Langston University. It discusses proper drug usage, the different drug families and their modes of action, strategies for deworming, and methods to prevent resistance development like the FAMACHA system. The FAMACHA system allows selective treatment by using eye color charts to identify anemia levels and target only animals with scores of 3-5 that likely need deworming.
The FivePoint Check is a system that extends the FAMACHA eye anemia system to evaluate five criteria for determining if small ruminants need deworming. It examines the eye, jaw, back, tail, and nose to check for anemia, bottle jaw, body condition, scours, and nasal discharge. Considering all five criteria together is important as each sign can have multiple causes. The system was developed by the same scientists as FAMACHA and allows for more selective deworming to slow the development of anthelmintic resistance.
This document discusses strategies for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants while reducing the development of anthelmintic resistance. It covers the biology of Haemonchus contortus and other common worms. Overreliance on anthelmintics has led to widespread resistance. The concept of "smart drenching" and using the FAMACHA system for selective deworming of only infected animals are introduced to preserve drug efficacy and increase the refugia of susceptible worms. Proper dosing, administration, and management can maximize the benefits of integrated parasite control programs.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
