Determination of the Prevalence of Bluetongue Disease in Goats in Siirt Provi...AI Publications
Bluetongue disease is a disease caused by the bluetongue virus in the Orbivirus genus of the Reoviridae family. The disease can be transmitted by ticks, sperm and vertically but is mainly spread by the Culicoides type flies. While the disease is naturally observed in cattle and sheep, it is more rarely observed in goats. This study was carried out to determine the presence of bluetongue infection in goats raised in Siirt province serologically and to obtain information about its prevalence in the region. The material of the study consisted of a total of 372 goats over one year of age raised in Siirt province. For laboratory analyses, 5 ml blood samples were taken from the jugular vein of goats to tubes without anticoagulant. The samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the sera were transferred to Eppendorf tubes and stored at -20 °C until analysis. The serum samples were analyzed by the ELISA (Thermo Scientific Multiskan Go) method using the commercial test kit (Bluetongue Virus VP7 Ab Test Kit, IDEXX). The results were evaluated as positive and negative. Of the 372 goats constituting the material of the study, 252 (67.74%) were seropositive and 120 (32.26%) were seronegative. As a result, in addition to measures for quarantine and vector control in the fight against the disease, it was concluded that vaccines specific to virus serotypes should be used and comprehensive and planned studies should be carried out in relation to the disease in the region and the country.
A Retrospective Study of Malaria Cases Reported in a Decade at Tertiary Level...IOSR Journals
Background: Malaria, a non-fatal disease if detected promptly and treated properly, still causes many deaths in malaria-endemic countries. The present study is intended to find out changing pattern of malarial morbidity and mortality in western India Methods: A retrospective record base study was conducted on malarial cases reported at medical out-patient door (OPD) of SMS Hospital Jaipur (Rajasthan) during last decade i.e. from 1st Jan 2003 to 31st Dec 2012. Available data regarding socio-demographic and mortality profile was collected and analyzed. Case fatality Rates and Proportional Death rates were found out along with cause of death in malaria cases. Chi-squire test was used to find out the significance of difference between proportions. Results: Out of total 3748 malaria cases, maximum cases were reported in Aug to Oct i.e. 2614 (69.74%). Mean age of diseases was 37.4 years with 3.2 M:F Ratio. Maximum Case Fatality Rate was reported in 2003 which decreases with time with sum ups and downs and in 2012 it remains only 1.8%. Most frequent (33%) cause of death was cerebral malaria. Conclusions: Malaria has seasonal variation with maximum cases in post monsoon season affecting mainly middle aged persons. Although there is no certain trend on malarial morbidity but malarial mortality has significantly declined trend.
This was a prospective cross sectional hospital based study included 117 patients with a definitive history of snake bite and clinical features consistent with the pres¬ence of fang marks at the emergency department, Gadarif Hospital, Eastern Sudan from 1st January 2015 to 1st January 2016 to identify the epidemiological factors of snake bite. The majority of these 117 patients were adult (86.3%) and male gender constituted 85.4%. Most of the patients were of rural residence (65.8%) and were involved in farming related activities (68.3%). A relatively high proportion of snake bite episodes happened in the afternoon times (53.9%) and half of the cases were reported during August (18%) and November. (12.8%). Lower limbs were involved in maximum number of the cases (83.7%). The reported systemic reaction included: swelling (100%), sweating (100%), hypotension (54.7%), nausea (51.%), vomiting (47.8%), local bleeding (13.6%), hymoptysis (1.7%) and neurotoxic symptoms (0.8%). In this study, there were ten (8.5%) deaths; 7 had grade 3 and the other three patients had grade 4 envenomation. In conclusion Snake bites is a real medical threat in Eastern Sudan; thus, it is very important to educate the native people to increase awareness about the risk of snake bites in particular among male, farmers and during the period from August to November.
Abstract—Epidemiological study of Rivers State University of Science and Technology Port Harcourt, Nigeria was carried out to identify the morbidity pattern in the University community in order to establish the current health status and trends. This study utilized secondary morbidity data sourced from Health Services Department. Data on staff mortality were obtained from the Personnel/Establishment Division. Methods employed for data collection were health records survey and data collection sheets. Morbidity information required were date, sex, age, department, card number and diagnosis of each case. Information required for each mortality case was date, sex, age, department, salary level and the cause of death. Of all cases of morbidity, communicable diseases comprised 17.5%; non-communicable diseases 24.1%, generalized disease symptoms 55.2% and others 3.2%. The study revealed that the leading causes of morbidity in the University were fever/headache/cold (36.9%), hypertension (13.6%), generalized body pain (7.5%), abdominal pain/vomiting (6.7%) and diabetes (4.9%). Hypertension emerged the second major cause of morbidity among the staff and males had higher rate of morbidity compared to females. It was also concluded that although mortality was increasing with time but there was no sex wise significant difference in mortality trend. It was recommended among others that Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension being silent killers should be monitored regularly within the University community. Also the current practice of manual data entry should be replaced with computerized data system for better health records management.

Abstract: Increased Oxidative Stress markers in HIV/AIDS Patients may be as a result of free radicals generation and evidence is accumulating that Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) mimics AIDS progression but may be costly due to its Nephrotoxicity. In this research serum levels of Alpha tocopherol ( α- tocopherol), Urea, Creatinine as well as CD4 Counts were measured in 70 HIV Seropositive Patients (40 on HAART and 30 HAART-Naïve) and Thirty (30) apparently healthy individuals as controls in Federal Medical Centre Katsina, Nigeria.CD4 Counts, Serum Levels of Alpha tocopherol, Urea and Creatinine of HIV-HAART and HAART Naïve were 0.72±0.27mg/dl, 16.8±5.6 mmol/l, 237±123 µmol/l and 646±254cell/µl and 0.3±0.1mg/dl, 10.4±2.9 mmol/l, 91±26 µmol/l and 364±17 cell/ µl respectively. There were significantly (p<0.05) increased CD4 counts, serum levels of Alpha tocopherol, Urea and Creatinine in HIV/AIDS Patients on HAART compared to HAART- Naive. This is an indication that HIV/AIDS are predisposed to oxidative stress and that also HAART has debilitating effects on kidneys.

Dengue Virus Disease: Recent Updates on Vaccine DevelopmentRSIS International
This paper reviews the current experimental updates made in the development of a dengue vaccine particularly DNA and plant derived vaccine. Dengue is an endemic viral disease affecting human health particularly children. Till today there is no medication or treatment available for dengue. Vector control measures are not yet successful in controlling dengue transmission. Introduction of Wolbachia bacteria might be the new ray of hope for the effective dengue vector control measures. The development of an efficient dengue vaccine is difficult because vaccine must be tetravalent so that it includes all the serotypes. Therefore, a tetravalent formulation plays an important role in developing a dengue vaccine. Recently tetravalent French dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV) (Sanofi Pasteur’s, France) available (limited to a few countries) on the market since 2015. Sanofi branded, Dengavaxia (CYD-TDV) is the most promising one and has recently successfully completed the phase III clinical efficacy trials in Asia and Latin America. Dengavaxia (CYD-TDV) has been shown to be safe and has different levels of efficacy against the four serotypes. However, DNA vaccination has not yet successful mainly due to the insufficient immunogenicity. Botanical dengue vaccine production is also safe and have many advantages but there are still challenges that limit the rate of successful production of plant expressed vaccines. There are numerous dengue vaccine candidates in pipeline but none of them not yet promoting vaccination.
Comparative antimicrobial activity of aspirin, paracetamol, flunixin meglumin...Bhoj Raj Singh
• Some of the tested drugs (NSAIDs including aspirin, diclofenac, meloxicam & flunixin meglumine) possess broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity but not in therapeutically achievable non-toxic concentrations in the body. Paracetamol was the least effective as antimicrobial similar to pheniramine maleate.
• A few of the NSAIDs may be evaluated as topical use antimicrobials (aspirin, diclofenac & flunixin) being microbial growth inhibitors at 0.128% concentration, similar levels of antimicrobial drugs including antibiotics are often used in topical antiseptic preparations (gels/ ointments/creams/powders/ lotions).
• Studies should be conducted on synergism/ antagonism of NSAIDs with commonly used antibiotics and herbal antimicrobials so that antimicrobial potential of NSAIDs can be therapeutically utilized.
• Susceptibility of bacteria to NSAIDs may be an aid in the differentiation of a few bacteria like Klebsiella and Raoultella; Enterococcus and Streptococcus (meloxicam); Bacillus and Paenibacillus (Diclofenac). However, multicentric studies on a greater number of strains are essential to establish the difference.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the frequency of hepatitis C virus infection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to look for the common risk factors leading to this infection in diabetics. Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study design. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Kharian, from Jan 2015 to Jun 2015. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Medicine, Combined Military Hospital Kharian. Through a descriptive cross sectional study design, a total of 140 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, admitted through casualty, OPD or private clinics were selected and tested for Hepatitis C virus infection. The common risk factors leading to such infection among positive cases were also scrutinized. Results: The mean age of patients was 48.82 ± 10.14 with 60.7% female gender predominating the overall sample of diabetics. Using 3rd generation ELISA method, hepatitis C virus was found in 45 (32.1%) of patients with 41-50 years of age group most commonly affected age group (34.7%) and female (57.8%) commonly affected gender. The distribution of risk factors leading to hepatitis C virus in diabetics are: 21 (46.7%) had history of surgery in the past, 13 (28.9%) had history of blood transfusion in the past, 7 (15.55%) had history of hemodialysis while only 4 (8.9%) had history of tattooing in the past. Conclusion: Hepatitis C virus infection is still a common problem in diabetic patients of our local population and we recommend further research work over its risk factors so that the guidelines for its control may be formulated.

Association of Treatment Outcome of Tuberculosis with type of Category of Tuberculosis-Tuberculosis is the third major cause of adult mortality i.e. 15-59 years of age group on which the nation’s economy depended on. In treatment of tuberculosis, failure of treatment and defaulters of treatment are the main hurdles. So this study was carried out with the aim to find out association of treatment outcome with category of case and diagnosed in various four quarters of year. For the study purpose 160 case sheets of tuberculosis patients attended at District Tuberculosis Centre, Jaipur were taken, by identify 40 cases randomly from each of four quarter. Chi-square test was used to find out association. It was found in this study that maximum cases were of category II followed by I and II. Cure rate was found 44.38% with maximum in category III (60.42%). Defaulter rate was found 32.5% with maximum in category II (35.48%). Failure rate was found 9.38% with maximum in category I(14%). And Case Fatality Rate was found 32.5% with maximum in category II(20.97%).This variation in treatment outcome was found significantly associated for Cure rate and CFR not for Defaulter and Failure rate.
Rheumatoid arthirits (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects many tissues and organs but mainly affects the joints,
producing a proliferative and inflammatory disease that progresses to damage the joint cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. About
1% of the world’s population is affected by RA. Women three to five times more often than men, it is more common in age group
of 40 to 70 years of age. The useful serological markers for RA are Rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies to citrullinated peptides.
This present study was done to find out the prevalence of serological marker in suspected arthritis case in tertiary care hospital.
This prospective study was carried out in serology section in central pathology lab in Government Medical College, Banda from
April 2015 to August 2018. Total 776 blood samples were received for RA factor analysis. Out of 776 samples, 111 samples were
positive for RA factor 14.3% prevalence. Total 88 cases were females and 23 were males. Most common age group involved was
21 - 60 years in females and 40 - 70 years in males. For evaluation of patients with suspected RA, it is recommended to perform
anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody and RF analysis to increase specificity of the results.
Need To Protect Childbearing Age Girls against Rubellapaperpublications3
Abstract: Rubella, though a mild skin infection but show disastrous effects during pregnancy and causes damage to fetus. The disease is vaccine- preventable diseases can manifest with severe Teratogenic effects in fetus known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) due to primary maternal infection such as heart disorders, blindness, deafness or other life threatening organ disorders. During pregnancy, explore to disease can lead to disastrous results such as bad obstetric history (BOH), repeated pregnancy loss (RPL) or may cause deformities in fetuses whereas it also responsible for infertility and maternal mortality. In the study124 teenage girls and 176 women of different background were selected, out of them 3.23% girls and 11.36 % women were found susceptible and were at risk to have Rubella infection. In the study it was detected that immunity against Rubella was decreasing with increasing age, i.e. the vaccination in childbearing age should be included in schedule.
Methods: Two groups were selected by non-probability random sampling technique including case group of 154 patients with
suspected dengue (fever>2days and <10days) and control group of 146 patients with febrile illness other than dengue. Clinical,hematological and serologic markers of cases and control groups were analyzed. The frequency distribution was used to compare categorical serologic markers and paired sample T test was applied for hematologic variables before and after treatment of dengue using SPSS version 21.

Cure rate was found 44.38% with maximum in category III (60.42%). Defaulter rate was found 32.5% with maximum in category II (35.48%). Failure rate was found 9.38% with maximum in category I(14%). And Case Fatality Rate was found 32.5% with maximum in category II(20.97%).This variation in treatment outcome was found significantly associated for Cure rate and CFR not for Defaulter and Failure rate.
Rheumatoid arthirits (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects many tissues and organs but mainly affects the joints,
producing a proliferative and inflammatory disease that progresses to damage the joint cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. About
1% of the world’s population is affected by RA. Women three to five times more often than men, it is more common in age group
of 40 to 70 years of age. The useful serological markers for RA are Rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies to citrullinated peptides.
This present study was done to find out the prevalence of serological marker in suspected arthritis case in tertiary care hospital.
This prospective study was carried out in serology section in central pathology lab in Government Medical College, Banda from
April 2015 to August 2018. Total 776 blood samples were received for RA factor analysis. Out of 776 samples, 111 samples were
positive for RA factor 14.3% prevalence. Total 88 cases were females and 23 were males. Most common age group involved was
21 - 60 years in females and 40 - 70 years in males. For evaluation of patients with suspected RA, it is recommended to perform
anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody and RF analysis to increase specificity of the results.
Need To Protect Childbearing Age Girls against Rubellapaperpublications3
Abstract: Rubella, though a mild skin infection but show disastrous effects during pregnancy and causes damage to fetus. The disease is vaccine- preventable diseases can manifest with severe Teratogenic effects in fetus known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) due to primary maternal infection such as heart disorders, blindness, deafness or other life threatening organ disorders. During pregnancy, explore to disease can lead to disastrous results such as bad obstetric history (BOH), repeated pregnancy loss (RPL) or may cause deformities in fetuses whereas it also responsible for infertility and maternal mortality. In the study124 teenage girls and 176 women of different background were selected, out of them 3.23% girls and 11.36 % women were found susceptible and were at risk to have Rubella infection. In the study it was detected that immunity against Rubella was decreasing with increasing age, i.e. the vaccination in childbearing age should be included in schedule.
Methods: Two groups were selected by non-probability random sampling technique including case group of 154 patients with
suspected dengue (fever>2days and <10days) and control group of 146 patients with febrile illness other than dengue. Clinical,hematological and serologic markers of cases and control groups were analyzed. The frequency distribution was used to compare categorical serologic markers and paired sample T test was applied for hematologic variables before and after treatment of dengue using SPSS version 21.

Gravity model, Epidemiology and Real-time reproduction number (Rt) estimation...Bhoj Raj Singh
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) originated in China during the mid of December 2019 caused global havoc. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 as an International Public Health Emergency on 30th January 2020 and subsequently as a pandemic on 11th March 2020. The disease has affected almost all the countries of the world and as on 30th July 2020 there were 16.5 million cases and 0.65 million deaths are reported. The members of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka sharing 3% of the world's area and 21% of the world's population. We analysed the COVID-19 data as on 1st July 2020 retrieved from publically available databases. The gravity model is primarily used in the transportation industry and gaining importance in the modelling of the spread of infectious diseases. In this analysis, we observed that higher personal freedom or movement of people is having the greatest effect on the spread of COVID-19 (coefficient = 2.1). The correlation analysis was carried out with COVID-19 cases, health expenditure, poverty, and BCG vaccination, literacy, and population density of the SAARC countries. The COVID-19 positive cases showed a significant (p<0.001) positive correlation (r=0.99) with mortality rate. Similarly, the COVID-19 deaths showed a significant positive correlation with health expenditure (% GDP) (r = 0.58, p<0.05). The other epidemiological factors such as population density/sq km, literacy %, adult population %, and poverty % didn’t show any significant correlation with COVID-19 cases and deaths. The estimation of weekly Real-time reproduction number (Rt) among SAARC countries showed the highest Rt in India (Rt =2.1; 95% CI 2.05 – 2.2) followed by Bangladesh (Rt =1.6; 95% CI 1.5– 1.6). The comparison of Rt indicated that a decrease in the Rt value was noticed in the later stage of the period (past few weeks) among all the SAARC countries compared with the initial stage of infection except Nepal. The analysis indicates that implementation of restrictions, large scale screening and intensive monitoring is mandatory in all countries in order to reduce the Covid-19 spread.

Prevalence of duck plague in ducks at haor region in Kishoreganj district.Manirul Islam
A clinical study was conducted during 1 July 2019 to 31 August 2019 at the district veterinary hospital in Kishoreganj, Bangladesh. A total of 106 number disease or dead ducks were selected randomly to investigate the prevalence and outbreak of duck plague in the selected region in Kishoreganj for the current study. Tentative diagnosis of duck plague was made on the basis of history, anamnesis, clinical sings and post mortem findings. The overall prevalence of duck was (69.81%). The prevalence of duck plague at different upazila were determined. The prevalence of duck plague in Itna, Karimganj, Mithamain, Tarail and Ashtagram were 19.98%, 10.38%, 11.32%, 14.15%, 8.49% and 8.49% respectively. The prevalence of duck plague in small, medium and large duck farms were 17.92%, 30.19% and 21.69%, respectively. Morbidity, mortality and case fatality rates of duck plague at farm level were 34.47%, 18.67% and 54.16%, respectively. The age wise prevalence of duck plague of adult duck and ducklings were 48.11%, 21.69% respectively. The prevalence of duck plague was higher in July (37.73%) than August (32.07%). Despite of different constrains and limitations of the current study, the result may act as the baseline for further research.

Upsurge of chikungunya cases in Uttar Pradesh, IndiaAhmad Ozair
Background & objectives: Chikungunya (CHIK) re-emerged in India in 2006 after a gap of three decades. In Uttar Pradesh (UP), <100 confirmed cases per million were reported during this outbreak. Based on an upsurge of CHIK cases at UP, this retrospective study was conducted to investigate clinical and serological profile of CHIK cases in UP. Methods: A retrospective study was done on all clinically suspected CHIK cases that had been tested by ELISA for anti-CHIK virus IgM antibodies from September 2012 to December 2017. Based on clinical features, a subset of patients had earlier been tested serologically for dengue and Japanese encephalitis (JE). Results: Of the 3240 cases enrolled, 771 (23.8%) were seropositive. Patients had a range of clinical manifestations with seropositivity highest in those exhibiting arthralgia with fever (40%), followed by fever of unknown origin (FUO) (22%), encephalitis (13%) and fever with rash (12%). Cases (total, seropositive) increased over 20-fold in 2016 (1389, 412) and 2017 (1619, 341), compared to 2012-2015. Nearly a third of dengue serology-positive cases and a fifth of JE serology-positive cases were co-positive for CHIKV. Interpretation & conclusions: Archival data from 2006-2011 and data from this study (2012-2017) indicated that UP experienced first CHIK outbreak in the decade in 2016, as part of a large-scale upsurge across northern India. CHIK should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with fever of unknown origin or fever with rash or acute encephalitis, in addition to classical arthralgia.

Discussion
The present study revealed 24.26% of IBD in Sylhet region that was higher than
those of Bhattacharjee et al. (1996); Islam et al. (1998); Talha et al. (2001),
reported 10.99, 16.0 and 19.16% cases of IBD on Dhaka and Mymensingh,
respectively. This variation may be due to geographic variation. Most of the
flocks, where IBD were recorded were vaccinated. Findings indicated that in
most cases vaccination could not protect the birds. According to Godwin (2001),
birds of Bangladesh from this devastating malady.
In the present investigation, 6.73% of ND positive cases were found but a
higher 10.24 and 17.20% incidence of the disease were reported by Talha et
al. (2001); Islam et al. (1998), respectively. The present findings would indicate
that the reemergence of ND in commercial flocks is still a threat to the poultry
industry in spite of availability use of ND vaccines. Its needs to be investigated
if the reemergence of ND is due to vaccination failure or any other factor. In
case of bacterial diseases, Talha et al. (2001) reported 13.12% of

Mymensingh region which are higher than the present
findings 6.73 and 5.32% respectively; but in case of
Colibacillosis the findings are similar to that (5.51%).
The results indicated that the decrease of Colibacillosis
and Mycoplasmosis might be due to better management
of the farm and mass dosing of antibiotics.
In the present study, 17.53% of cases of Aspergillosis
was reported, but Talha et al. (2001) reported 4.20% of
positive cases in Mymensingh region. This variation may
be due to the cold climatic condition of the Sylhet region.
In the present study, Coccidiosis constituted 9.46% of
the total cases which is higher than the study of Talha et
al. (2001), but correlates with the result of Kutubuddin,
(1973); Sarker (1976); Kamal (1989).
In conclusion, it may be mentioned that chicks aged
between 8-21 days are most vulnerable to various
diseases, and the most prevalent diseases like IBD,
ND, Aspergillosis, coccidiosis, Salmonellosis and
Mycoplasmosis demand immediate attention for
prevention and control.
