Pathogens of Public health importance with zoonotic potential also affect the germination and rooting in plants.
Germinating seeds of different crops are affected to varying degree and all are not equally susceptible.
Cultivars also modulate the susceptibility of seed germination to different pathogens.
Crop production may be affected in soil contaminated with sewage and night soils.
Effect of bacteria on germination of seeds also modulated by month/ season of sowing.
Issues in Veterinary Disease Diagnosis.pptxBhoj Raj Singh
Diagnosis of a disease or a problem is the first step towards solution/ treatment/ control/ prevention.
Diagnosis is successfully. important to determine Prevalence (True prevalence, apparent prevalence) and Incidence of the disease to estimate the disease burden so that prevention and control measures can be planned and implemented.
However, in few years with the invasion of pharmaco-politics in disease control the term got vitiated.
Epidemiological Approaches for Evaluation of diagnostic tests.pptxBhoj Raj Singh
Diagnosis of a disease or a problem is the first step towards solution/ treatment. Clinical Diagnosis or Provisional Diagnosis is the first step in diagnosis and is done after a physical examination of the patient by a clinician. Clinical diagnosis may or may not be true and to reach Final diagnosis Laboratory Investigations using gross and microscopic pathological observations and determining the disease indicators are required. The diagnostic tests may be Non-dichotomous Diagnostic Tests (when continuous values are given by the test in a range starting from sub-normal to above-normal range) and Dichotomous Diagnostic Tests (when results are given either plus or minus, disease or no-disease). To make non- Dichotomous diagnostic test a Dichotomous one you need to establish the cut-off values based on reference values or Gold Standard test readings or with the use of Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves, Precision-Recall Curves, Likelihood Ratios, etc., and finally establishing statistical agreement (using Kappa values, Level of Agreement, χ2 Statistics) between the true diagnosis and laboratory diagnosis. Thereafter, the Accuracy, Precision, Bias, Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive value, and Negative Predictive value, of a diagnostic test are established for use in clinical practice. Diagnostic tests are also used to determine Prevalence (True prevalence, apparent prevalence) and Incidence of the disease to estimate the disease burden so that control measures can be implemented. There are several Phases in the development and use of a diagnostic assay starting from conceptualization of the diagnostic test, development and evaluation to determine flaws in diagnostic test use and Interpretation influencers. This presentation mainly deals with the epidemiological evaluation procedures for diagnostic tests.

The importance of learning about medicines’ and vaccines’ efficacy or effectiveness trials is not only necessary to those who are developing, producing or marketing these pharmaceutical products but to the users also because: The Emergency approval of Covid-19 vaccines and many other medicines in last few years has created so much fuss to understand the reality. The lesson learnt from Covid-19 vaccine(s) by vaccine production, marketing, vaccination and finally the revenue earned by vaccine developers and producers, and political gain by politicians, is proving deleterious to the society as several vaccine(s), useless or scarcely proven safe and useful, are going to infest and some have already infested the market (the health industry). So reading this presentation may be useful to you so that you may question the authorities if any is engaged in bluffing you. The presentation talks briefly about Prevention trials, Screening trials, Treatment trials, Feasibility studies, Pilot studies, Phases in clinical trial, Multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) trials, Global Clinical Trials, Vaccine efficacy, Vaccine safety, Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), Serious Adverse Events (SAE), SEA rules, The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA), CDSCO Rules Governing Clinical Trials, Schedule Y, The Ethics Committee, Empowered Committee on Animal Health, Tracking Vaccine Quality, Pre-clinical and Clinical data, Proof of Concept, Biological License Application (BLA) and Clinical hold.

AMR challenges in human from animal foods- Facts and Myths.pptxBhoj Raj Singh
This presentation talks about ÄMR: A public health threat, a “silent pandemic”.
Infections caused by Antimicrobial-drug-resistant (AMR) pathogens caused >1.27 million deaths worldwide in 2019 (low level or no surveillance) and increasing year after year which may be > million in coming decades. Covid-19 caused ~6.8 million deaths in >3 years but now the pandemic is ending but the AMR pandemic has no timeline for its ending. Many deaths are also attributed to AMR pathogens.
More antibiotic use (irrespective of the sector) = More AMR.
This presentation also talks about ways and means to mitigate the AMR pandemic. 1. Stopping the blame game. All are equally responsible for the emergence of AMR, the share of developed and educated communities is much more than poor and un-educated communities.
2. Working together: On-Line Real-Time AST Data Sharing Platform for different diagnostic and research laboratories doing AST routinely.
3. Implementing not only antibiotic veterinary and medical stewardship but antimicrobial production and distribution stewardship too.
4. Educating for Environmental health not only human, plant, and animal health.
5. AMR's solution is not in searching for alternatives to antibiotics but in establishing environmental harmony.
6. More emphasis on AMR epidemiology than on AMR microbiology and pharmacology.
7. Development of understanding that bacteria and other microbes are more essential for life on earth than the human race. Microbes can live without humans, but humans can’t without microbes.
Global-Health is of prime importance than economic growth/ greediness.
Herbal antimicrobials are considered as an important alternative to antibiotic and probable tools to mitigate emerging antimicrobial-drug-resistance (AMR). However, it is difficult to accept that microbes may not adapt to herbal antimicrobials as rapidly as to antibiotics. This is now well documented that herbal antimicrobial resistance is also common among common pathogenic microbes and genes are now known to encode herbal drug-resistance too. This lecture gives description how resistance to conventional antimicrobials impacts susceptibility of microbes for herbal antimicrobials. Lecture Scheduled on 21st February 2023, In: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Foodborne pathogens” sponsored under the ICAR-NAHEP-CAAST project by the MAFSU, Mumbai Veterinary College, at the Division of Veterinary Public Health, ICAR-IVRI from 20th February to 25th February, 2023.

Major flaws in Animal Disease Control Leading to Partial Success or Failure.pptxBhoj Raj Singh
This presentation summarises major problems of Animal Disease Control Programs ongoing in India. India is a hyperendemic country for many animal diseases and zoonotic diseases. Every year billions of rupees are spent on disease control, surveillance, monitoring, and vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases. However, due to the failure of most animal disease control programs for one or other reasons India directly losses about 20 and 25 thousand crores annually due to endemicity of FMD & brucellosis, respectively. The presentation identifies problems at different levels of different ongoing disease control programs in India. The non-availability of authentic disease data and flaws in vaccine quality control are the biggest problems.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Disease models are needed for...
• For determining pathogenic potential of bacterial isolates
in veterinary and medical diagnostic laboratories.
• For understanding pathogenesis
• For development of vaccines
• For evaluation of new methods for diagnosis and
intervention techniques for clinical use I
• It is not always feasible to study a disease in host because
of:
– Ethical problems
– Bisafety
– Availability and economy
– Regulatory constraints
3. In vivo Models for toxins of
microbes
• Rabbit ligated ileal loop assay, closed mouse
and infant mouse assay, monkey and kitten
tests for enterotoxins.
• Infant mouse, dogs, monkeys, rats and guinea
pigs for Neurotoxins.
• Rabbit skin, rabbit eye, guinea pig eye, guinea
pig skin for irritant, dermotoxins and necrotoxins.
• Nematode, molluscs and many other animals
have been used. (limulus lysate assay for
endotoxin)
5. Why more models?
• For better understanding of pathogenesis,
• For more economic and simple methods
• For better adaptability of the models to
poorly equipped labs
• For academic purpose

Effect of Salmonella and Serratia on germination
of seeds of different crops and varieties
20. Conclusions
1.Pathogens of Public health importance with zoonotic
potential also affect the germination and rooting in plants.
2.Germinating seeds of different crops are affected to
varying degree and all are not equally susceptible.
3.Cultivars also modulate the susceptibility of seed
germination to different pathogens.
4.Crop production may be affected in soil contaminated
with sewage and night soils.
5.Effect of bacteria on germination of seeds also
modulated by month/ season of sowing.
