Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and relatively common cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young dogs. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from feline panleukopenia virus or a related parvovirus of nondomestic animals. It is a nonenveloped, single-stranded DNA virus, resistant to many common detergents and disinfectants, as well as to changes in temperature and pH. Infectious CPV can persist indoors at room temperature for at least 2 mo; outdoors, if protected from sunlight and desiccation, it can persist for many months and possibly years.
Parvo virus infection in dog - preventive medicinerajboy19
Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious infection of dogs caused by a Parvovirus. This slide include virology,transmission,pathogenesis,clinical sign and symptoms,diagnosis, differential diagnosis,treatment, prevention and control.
Domestication of the European rabbit probably occurred in monasteries during the Middle Ages. By the middle of the 17th century, rabbits were commonly raised in England and continental Europe. Oryctolagus cuniculus, one of the more successful mammals of the world, is both prolific and adaptable.
Most of the fancy breeds were developed within the past 100 years, and only since the early 1900s have rabbits been raised domestically in the United
States. The first commercial colonies were started in southern California. Meat rationing during World War II gave the infant industry a push. Today, approximately 200,000 people are engaged in some phase of the rabbit business
in the United States, and animals are produced in every state. Meat processors serving major cities market more than 10 million pounds of rabbit meat annually.

What is diarrhea in cattle and what causes it?
• Diarrhea (purging, scours) can have many causes.
• Possible causes include bacterial and viral infections, certain chemicals, intestinal parasites, poor diet, overfeeding on milk or lush grass, poisonous plants and other toxins, food allergies and even stress.
• In diarrhea, the intestine fails to adequately absorb fluids, and/or secretion into the intestine is increased. Loss of fluids through diarrhea produces dehydration and the loss of certain body salts.
• It causes a change in body tissue composition and severe depression in the animal.
• Death from scours is usually the result of dehydration and loss of body salts rather than invasion of an infectious agent.
• The correct determination of the cause of diarrhea is important in order to take effective preventive measures.
Babesiosis is the diseased state caused by the protozoal (single celled) parasites of the genus Babesia. Infection in a dog may occur by tick transmission, direct transmission via blood transfer from dog bites, blood transfusions, or transplacental transmission.

Animal Welfare is gaining recognition as an important element of commercial livestock operations worldwide.
This has wide-ranging implications for an industry with complex historical and cultural roots.
It is being addressed not only by governmental agencies and academic institutions, but by a growing number of professionals at different locations in the agricultural supply chain.
A number of regional and global initiatives have emerged to provide guidance on acceptable practices to actors ranging from individuals caring for animals on farms to large scale commercial enterprises providing animal-based products from different livestock systems.
To have at least two (and up to six) typical farms for each region.
The first farm is an average sized farm with an average management performance. The second farm is larger than the first one but also having an average management performance, to show economies of scale.

Milk Quality Tracking and Tracing System as a Basis for Quality Based Milk Payment System
In Kenya, raw milk safety has been disputed over a decade but no documented data exists.
Greatest milk quality challenge for the CBE’s are proper ways to maintain cold collection.
The regulatory institutions are constrained financially hence raw milk quality standards are reluctantly applied and enforced.
This creates a vacuum for farmers to switch between buyers of raw milk specially due to quality issues.

CONVENIENCE TREND
People increasingly have to “manage” competing demands on their time. Convenience impacts all aspects of people’s lives forcing them to constantly seek out more efficient and effective products that help improve busy lifestyles and free-up and maximize leisure time
Convenience is a major force behind much product innovation resulting in strong growth in ready to eat products as well as products which simplify routine tasks.

SUSTAINABLE COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
Cooperatives play an important role in economic development of many countries across the continent.
In Kenya, cooperatives are controlling about 43% of GDP and 31% of national savings and deposits. They have 70% of the coffee market, 76% dairy, 90% pyrethrum, and 95% of cotton.
In Benin, FECECAM (Faitiere des caisses deparge et de credit agricole mutuel), a savings and credit cooperative federation, provided USD 16 million in rural loans in 2002.
In Côte d'Ivoire cooperatives invested USD 26 million for setting up schools, building rural roads and establishing maternal clinics.
In Kenya, over 300,000 people are directly employed by co-operatives
Globally, cooperatives provide over 100 million jobs around the world, 20% more than multinational enterprises.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

8. Importance of environment for sporulation
Sporulation time: 2 – 3 days – or more
Sporulation depends on:
Temperature
Optimum 20 - 25°C (13 - 32°C)
Oxygen
Anaerobic conditions – no sporulation (but 10% of normal
O₂ - pressure is enough)
Humidity
Must be > 60% r.h.
Decaying conditions
Delay sporulation
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
9. Importance of environment for survival (2)
Oocyst survival is NOT possible
Temperatures > 40°C
Direct sunlight – 4 – 8 hours
Humidity < 25% r.h.
Decaying (rotting) conditions
Cresol-based disinfectants
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
10. Prevalence of Eimeria in cattle
Prevalence relatively high:
- 2-100% of calves per herd – varying according to
management (dairy or beef)
- Most frequent in calves 3 weeks to 6 – 12 months
of age
- Few case reports for cows (calving pen)
- Shedding of oocysts at low levels common at all ages
Transmission pathway: faecal-oral route
- Horizontal (calf-calf via licking, etc.; permanent pastures)
- Cow-calf (calving pen)
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
11. Eimeria in cattle
Intestinal protozoan parasite
20 species worldwide
Variable pathogenicity
Variable reproductive
potential – e.g. E. bovis
1 oocyst 24 million oocysts
Non-sporulated Eimeria oocysts
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
14. Pathogenicity of Eimeria depends on
Species and size of infecting dose(s)
Number and localisation of host cells destroyed
- i.e. Number of merozoite generations
- Number of merozoites per generation
- Location of parasite (in tissue / in cell)
Degree and time of re-infection
Degree of acquired / natural immunity of host
- Incl. stress factors on host
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
15. Clinical coccidiosis
Multifactorial disease
Usually a herd problem (5-15% affected)
Primarily E. bovis or E. zuernii
< 50,000 oocysts sufficient to cause clinical disease
Damaged intestinal surface (2nd merogony and gamogany)
• Anorexia (up to 1 month post infection), diarrhoea
(haemorrhagic), dehydration, weight loss or even death.
Mortality up to 7-20%.
• Severe case: chronic performance setback (low feed conversion
efficiency; prolonged heifer development period, etc.)
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
16. Coccidiosis in calves – clinical signs
Pasture coccidiosis
E. alabamensis most common
- Watery diarrhoea with a bad smell
4 – 7 days after turning out on pasture
- Low or no feed intake
- Depressed
- Loss of weight up to 15%
- Few fatal cases
- Duration of 2 – 5 days
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
17. Clinical Signs
Depression
Anorexia (up to 1 month post infection)
Low or no feed intake
Loss of weight up to 15%
Diarrhoea (+/- haemorrhagic)
Dehydration
Some mortalities (7-20%)
Chronic performance setback due to:
- low feed conversion efficiency
- prolonged heifer development period

19. Sub-clinical Coccidiosis
Most infections (95%) are sub-clinical
Any Eimeria species can be involved
Damaged absorptive surface of intestine
Weakened immune system
Clinical Signs:
Inappetence
Inferior feed efficiency
Slower weight gain
Longer heifer development periods
Increased susceptibility to 2* infections

23. Immunity
Good (non-sterile) immunity to re-infection
with same species after primary infection:
- Depends on level of primary infection
(>50,000 oocysts; Daugschies et al. 1998)
Protective immunity:
- Mainly of cellular type
- Species specific
- Boosted by continuous exposure
- Can break under high infection pressure
Transfer of colostral antibodies:(IgG1 (and IgG2, IgM)) and CD4+
cells to calves
Vaccination -Immunisation
23Baycox_TechManual
24. Eimeria summary
Very host specific
Direct transmission
Many species – primarily in herbivores and
birds
Most species - non-pathogenic
Disease mostly in young animals
Intestinal coccidia are very common
Pathogenic intestinal coccidia cause diarrhoea
The development cycle and its duration depends
on the coccidia species
R.EMEA.MKT.Africa.08.2015.0250
25. Diagnosis: On-farm surveillance
Look for signs of:
Faeces matted around tail
Dull rough hair coat – unthrifty animals
Pot-bellied in calves
Blood in faeces and/or watery diarrhoea
Weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia
Uneven sized calves
Then ensure examination of faecal samples for diagnosis (OPG
level; species ID)
25Baycox_TechManual
26. Diagnosis: Sampling
Faeces for oocysts examinations (direct from rectum).
Time of sampling:
2-3 weeks after turnout onto pasture (prepatent period) or
relocation / calving onto contaminated paddocks.
Multiple sampling may be necessary.
Sugar or salt flotation method
Keep samples cool, must not dry out
26Baycox_TechManual
27. Economic Impact
Poor health equals economic loss!
US $700 million annually (Fitzgerald, 1980)
Surviving calves weigh 22-27 kg less than uninfected
animals even one year post infection
Chronic performance setback
- low feed conversion efficiency
- prolonged development period
Reproductive and milk yield performance at an adult age
is negatively affected (Maddox-Hyttel et. al, 2003)
Treatment costs
27Baycox_TechManual
28. Prevention
Hygiene
Cleaning / disinfecting
Control passive vectors (rodents and insects)
Over crowding
Stress factors
Objective: lower infection pressure to break the
chain of infection
