Colibacillosis is a disease in newborn calves, piglets, lambs, and foals caused by the bacteria E. coli. It is characterized by profuse diarrhea, prostration, and sepsis. The bacteria produce enterotoxins that cause diarrhea and enterotoxemia. Calves are most susceptible in the first two weeks of life if they do not receive adequate colostrum. Treatment involves rehydration, withholding food initially, and administering antibiotics such as ampicillin or chloramphenicol. Proper hygiene, colostrum intake, and avoiding overcrowding can help prevent outbreaks of the disease.
Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hooved animals. It is characterized by blisters in the mouth and feet, excessive salivation, and lameness. The disease spreads through direct contact, aerosols, contaminated equipment and materials, people, predators, food, and semen. There is no treatment, but vaccination, sanitation, and biosecurity measures can control and prevent the spread.

Blue tongue is a non-contagious, infectious, arthropod-borne viral disease of sheep, goat, cattle and deer, with a worldwide distribution. Initially, the disease was reported in sheep in South Africa in 1881 and it was ascribed as “epizootic catarrh”. In 1905, the disease was renamed as “blue tongue”. In India, the first outbreak of blue tongue disease in sheep and goat was reported by Sapre (1964) from Maharashtra. It is listed under category ‘A’ of disease by OIE. The presence of this disease disrupts international commerce by putting a trade barrier on the movement of animals, their germplasm as well as animal products (OIE Bulletin, 1998).

This document provides an overview of zoonotic tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium bovis and can be transmitted from animals to humans. Key points include:
- M. bovis is one of the main causes of non-pulmonary tuberculosis in humans. It is transmitted through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy or undercooked meat.
- Globally, it is estimated that there are 147,000 new cases of zoonotic tuberculosis annually, with the highest burdens in Africa and Southeast Asia.
- In animals, cattle are the main reservoir and transmission can occur through aerosols or ingestion. Signs include emaciation, fever, and respiratory distress.
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) which affects cattle and water buffalo. It is characterized by fever, skin nodules, swollen lymph nodes, and reduced milk production. Transmission occurs through arthropod vectors like mosquitoes and flies. Diagnosis involves collecting blood, skin samples, or semen from infected animals showing symptoms like nodules and fever. Treatment focuses on isolation, supportive care, and prevention of secondary infections. Controlling vectors and movement of animals from infected areas are important for prevention along with vaccination of healthy animals near outbreak sites.
Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease of birds caused by paramyxovirus-1. It is characterized by respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological signs. The virus can be transmitted through direct contact with feces or respiratory secretions of infected birds, or indirect contact with contaminated feed, water, equipment, or clothing. Clinical signs include drops in egg production, edema around the eyes, greenish diarrhea, and neurological signs like tremors, circling, and twisting of the head. Post-mortem lesions include edema of tissues, hemorrhages in the trachea and intestines, and necrosis of lymphoid tissues. Diagnosis is made through virus isolation, identification, and serological tests. Prevention
Babesiosis is caused by parasites of the genus Babesia that infect red blood cells. It is transmitted through the bites of infected ticks. Symptoms can range from mild to severe illness including fever, chills, sweats, headache, body aches, loss of appetite, nausea, or fatigue. Diagnosis involves examining blood smears for the characteristic ring-shaped parasites or detecting antibodies through serologic tests. Treatment involves antibiotic combinations like atovaquone-azithromycin or clindamycin-quinine. Prevention focuses on avoiding tick bites through proper clothing, repellents, and tick checks.
Enterotoxemia, also known as overeating disease or pulpy kidney disease, is caused by toxins produced by Clostridium perfringens bacteria in the intestines of small ruminants. The bacteria normally live harmlessly in the gut but can multiply rapidly under certain conditions, releasing toxins that cause inflammation of the intestines and blood vessels. Affected animals may show sudden nervous system signs and death, or gastrointestinal signs like diarrhea before death. Post-mortem examination reveals kidney and lung damage. Treatment focuses on supportive care but vaccination and careful feeding strategies are most effective for prevention.
Canine distemper is a highly contagious viral disease that affects multiple carnivore species. It is characterized by fever, respiratory and gastrointestinal issues, and neurological complications. While vaccination has reduced cases, it remains a major disease. The virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets and infected bodily fluids. Puppies and unvaccinated dogs are most at risk. Treatment focuses on supportive care, though the virus can cause lasting issues in survivors. Widespread vaccination is important to control the disease.
Brucellosis, also known as Bang's disease, is a contagious disease in animals caused by the bacterium Brucella abortus. It is transmitted between animals through ingestion or inhalation of contaminated materials from aborted fetuses or birthing discharges. Symptoms include abortion in late pregnancy as well as retained placentas and weak newborn calves. Diagnosis involves isolating the bacterium from aborted fetal tissues or testing milk and blood samples. While antibiotics can treat infected animals, vaccination of young cattle is the most effective control method for preventing transmission and economic losses to livestock operations.
Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease in ruminants. It is a gram-positive, acid-fast bacterium that survives in the environment and is resistant to heat and pasteurization. MAP has been detected in pasteurized milk and dairy products through contamination of raw milk from infected animals. This poses a potential risk to human health as MAP may play a role in Crohn's disease. Improved diagnostics, therapeutics, and management practices are needed to control MAP in animal populations and minimize risks to food safety.

Colibacillosis is an infectious disease of newborn calves caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. The prevalence has increased in recent years due to factors like herd size and management. Colibacillosis occurs mostly in young livestock and is characterized by watery diarrhea. Diagnosis involves bacterial culture and PCR. Treatment includes antibiotics and fluid therapy. Prevention focuses on providing adequate colostrum and clean housing to newborn animals.
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides. It is highly contagious and spreads through inhalation of infected droplets. The disease is widespread in Africa and some parts of Asia and Europe. Morbidity can be up to 70% in susceptible herds with mortality around 50%. Clinical signs include fever, difficulty breathing, and fluid in the lungs. At necropsy, the lungs appear solid and adhered to the chest wall. Control methods include quarantine, testing and slaughter to eradicate the disease or vaccination with attenuated strains to limit spread where cattle movement cannot be restricted.
1. Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle caused by the bacteria Anaplasma marginale. It is characterized by fever, weakness, anemia, emaciation, and jaundice.
2. The disease is transmitted by ticks of several genera and can also be spread mechanically by flies or contaminated surgical instruments.
3. Anaplasmosis causes major losses to cattle industries in tropical and subtropical regions. It infects red blood cells and clinical signs vary from mild to severe depending on factors like age and previous exposure.
Colibacillosis refers to any localized or systemic infection caused entirely or partly by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), It manifests in diverse ways, including as acute fatal septicemia, subacute pericarditis, peritonitis, and cellulitis.
It is frequently associated with immunosuppressive diseases such as Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (Gumboro Disease) in chickens or Haemorrhagic Enteritis in turkeys, or in young birds that are immunologically immature.
Avian leukosis, also known as lymphoid leucosis or big liver disease, is a neoplastic disease of chickens caused by avian leukosis viruses. The disease starts with tumor formation in the bursa of fabricius and then metastasizes to other organs like the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Clinical signs include depression, weight loss, enlarged abdomen or organs. Diagnosis is based on post-mortem lesions and tumors occurring in chickens over 14 weeks old. There is no treatment, so prevention focuses on eradicating infected hens and reducing viral transmission through testing and discarding eggs from infected breeder flocks.
Lumpy skin disease is a pox viral disease of cattle characterized by fever, skin nodules, and lesions in the mouth and respiratory tract. It can infect up to 45% of cattle in a herd and cause mortality of up to 10% as well as reduced milk production and fertility. The disease is transmitted by biting flies and can also spread through milk, saliva, and shared water sources. There is no treatment for lumpy skin disease. Vaccination is the best form of prevention and should be given annually to all cattle, especially before wet summer months when flies are more prevalent.
Emergence of antibiotic resistance in captive wildlifeBhoj Raj Singh
In this presentation antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR) in captive wildlife has been compared with AMR in bacteria isolated from veterinary clinical cases. In captive wildlife bacteria resistant to carbapenems, all generations of cephalosporins, producing ESBL, MBL, and NDM were prevalent. In this study 36.7% bacterial isolates from captive wildlife were ESBL producers and about 45% were MDR type. In recent past not much increase in AMR in bacteria of captive wildlife was observed. Carvacrol was found to be the most effective herbal antimicrobial. About 67.5% bacteria from birds kept in zoo and >71% those from zoo carnivores had MDR. This was much more than in strains of wild herbivore origin (<30%). Herbal drugs resistance was more common in bacteria from herbivore captive wildlife in contrast to AMR for conventional antimicrobials in bacteria from carnivores. Bacteria from carnivores had higher levels of multidrug resistance than those from omnivores or herbivores. No such difference was evident in bacterial isolates from domesticated or pet herbivores and carnivores. Omnivore animals (pigs) and human isolates had almost similar levels of AMR but much higher than herbivores. Position in food chain and Food of the host play an important role in occurrence of AMR bacteria. The study revealed that members of Enterobacteriaceae are the major players in the propagation of AMR. And for maintenance or propagation of AMR Enterobacteriaceae members, wild carnivores are the major abode. The study indicated that AMR was common in bacteria of captive wildlife too as in other biotic and abiotic components of the environment. However, the level of AMR was much more aggravated than in domestic animals. It can be concluded that if we need to monitor the AMR in any locality it will be more informative to look for the AMR strains in wildlife and aquatic environment than in livestock. This might be due to the concentration of the AMR strains in wild carnivores having a specific niche in food chain. More long term studies on large number of isolates from wide variety of captive wildlife living in different geographical and climatological conditions are required for better understanding of AMR trends.
This study investigated the prevalence of Toxoplasmosis in domestic animals in the Benadir region of Somalia. Blood samples were collected from 151 animals (camels, cattle, sheep, goats) and tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using the Latex Agglutination Test. Overall, 24 of 151 animals (15.9%) tested positive. The highest rates of infection were found in sheep (34.5% of 29 tested) and goats (26.7% of 30 tested). Female animals also had a higher rate of infection (10.6% of 106) than males (5.3% of 45). This study provides new data on Toxoplasmosis in livestock in Somalia

Brucellosis: Epidemiology and Control in indiaBhoj Raj Singh
This document summarizes information about bovine brucellosis, including its causative agent, transmission, clinical signs, epidemiology, diagnosis, and control programs in India. It discusses that B. abortus is the primary cause of bovine brucellosis. Seroprevalence studies in India show varied rates of infection across states, with some states reporting over 40% seropositivity. National control programs aim to reduce the disease impact through biannual screening, vaccination of female calves, and bull castration. However, effective control remains challenging due to issues like lack of disposal plans, limited vaccination coverage, and involvement of multiple animal hosts. Improved vaccines, diagnostics, and eradication strategies are still
Molecular Identification of Bulinus Species in Ogun State, South-West Nigeria...AI Publications
The study considers the distribution of a small sample of 100 Bulinus snails, across 8 localities within Ogun State, Nigerian. Snails were identified using a molecular method of fragment and restriction profiles obtained from ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (its) amplicons. The results showed that the majority of Bulinus samples tested belonged to the species Bulinustruncatus while only one was Bulinusglobosus. The use of Rsa1 restriction endonuclease to cleave the ribosomal its of Bulinus, as a method of species identification, was adopted for the majority of samples, this being a quicker and cheaper method better suited to small laboratory environments. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the schistosome Dra1 repeat within each of the collected Bulinus samples was employed to determine the extent and distribution of infected snails within the sample areas. Successful amplification of the Dra1 repeat demonstrated that 23% of snails were infected with schistosome

The study found an overall prevalence of ectoparasitic infestation of 11.14% among goats in the Toba Tek Singh district of Pakistan. Ticks were the most prevalent ectoparasite, followed by lice, fleas, mites, and flies. The highest prevalence of ectoparasites was found during the winter months for lice, fleas, and mites, while ticks and flies were most common in summer and spring, respectively. Non-cemented flooring was associated with higher prevalence of ectoparasites compared to cemented flooring. Host characteristics like age, sex, and breed did not influence prevalence of ectoparasitic infestation.
Abstract
Study was conducted to record prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of cat. A total of 100 fecal samples from cat (50 from
male and 50 from female) were collected and examined for the presence of GIT parasites. Samples were collected and
transported for the laboratory diagnosis. Animal data such as age, sex, and breed were recorded. Results of the present study
revealed that 24% cats found positive for the gastrointestinal parasites. The percentage of infection was found higher in female
cats (28%) than males (20%). The prevalence in adults and kitten was recorded as 21.42% and 30% respectively. Dipylidium
caninum was found more prevalent with the infection rate of 9% followed by Toxocara cati, Aeluroslonglun obstrusus, Taenia
taeniaeformis and Paragonimus kellikotti with the infection rate of 5, 5, 3 and 2% respectively.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular zoonotic protozoan parasite, infect both humans and animals population worldwide. It can also cause abortion and inborn disease in humans and livestock population. In the present study total of 313 domestic animals were screened for Toxoplasma gondii infection. Of which 45 cows, 55 buffalos, 68 goats, 60 sheep and 85 shaver chicken were tested. Among these 40 (88.88%) cows were negative and 05 (11.12%) were positive. Similarly 55 (92.72%) buffalos were negative and 04 (07.28%) were positive. In goats 68 (98.52%) were negative and 01 (01.48%) was recorded positive. In sheep and shaver chicken the infection were not recorded.
This study examined the emergence of Campylobacteriosis in Orlu, Imo State, Nigeria over a 3-year period from 2011-2014. Stool, water, beef, and chicken samples were tested for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella species. The results showed increasing prevalence of C. jejuni over the study period, with the highest levels found in beef samples. Antibiotic susceptibility testing found that C. jejuni isolates were most susceptible to Ceftriaxone and least susceptible to Tetracycline. Overall, the results indicate that Campylobacteriosis is an emerging public health issue in the study location.

Foot and mouth disease: An Indian perspectiveBhoj Raj Singh
FMD is an economically important disease of cloven-footed animals. It causes an estimated loss of Rs. 20-22 thousand crores per year to livestock owners in India. To control the disease, DAHDF of India launched a National FMD Control Program (FMD-CP) in 2003 with an outlay of about Rs. 500 crores a year by Central Government and each state government also invested an equally good amount of money. The program is ongoing all over India. However, results are humiliating and harassing. We are almost at the same spot from where we started 15 years back in 2003.

This document discusses a study that aimed to isolate Salmonella gallinarum from poultry droppings used for manure in Jos metropolis, Nigeria. The researchers collected 150 samples from 50 poultry farms in four towns. They found Salmonella gallinarum in samples from two farms located in Vom and Bukuru towns, representing an isolation rate of 1.3%. Other common bacteria isolated included E. coli, Klebsiella species, Proteus species, and Pseudomonas species. The presence of Salmonella gallinarum in the poultry droppings poses health risks and underscores the need for improved hygiene practices on poultry farms.
— Herpesviruses that infect fishes belong to the Herpesvirales order and Alloherpesvirus family. In these species, the different types of herpesvirus can cause tumors, adenocarcinoma and skin lesions. This study aims detect to presence of herpesvirus in fishes from commercial, recreation or experimental creations of the States of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil. Organ fragments and lesions of 53 fish species coming of mortality cases were forwarded at Biological Institute for examination by transmission electron microscopy by research of etiological agent. By transmission electron microscopy through negative staining technique, were observed herpes virus-like particles in 46 fishes and through embedding resin technique, in ultrathin sections were visualized herpes virus immature particles, measuring 90-110nm in diameter, located in the nuclei and complete particles measuring 160nm. In the histopathology technique, lesions associated with the virus as corpuscles inclusion, papillomas, and dermal lesions and in the gills were observed in 27 fishes. The evaluated techniques of TEM and the histopathology were effective for the rapid detection of herpesvirus in the examined samples.

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.
Types of Trials in Medicine, vaccine efficacy or effectiveness trials and rel...Bhoj Raj Singh
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.

Nowadays vaccination is often reported as the cause of disease outbreaks. To ward off this misconception (vaccines are made to save the masses not to risk their lives)or to understand vaccination failures, it is necessary to understand the difference between a field strain causing the disease and a vaccine strain having attenuated virulence. This presentation talks about DIVA and DISA vaccines too.

A realization to Doyens of Veterinary Science that they are:
– Spineless when their voice is the most needed!
– Don’t understand epidemiology to the least and make minimal attempts to improve Epidemiological understanding in veterinarians!
– The real negative thinkers!
– Suffering from an inferiority complex!
– Real killers of the holy cow!
– Interested to develop the best vet doctors but creating butchers!

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.
This document discusses herbal antimicrobials as an alternative to conventional antibiotics to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It provides information on the scope of AMR globally, including an estimated 1.27 million deaths directly attributable to resistance in 2019. The document then summarizes research on the antimicrobial properties of various herbs and oils, including carvacrol, ajowan oil, thyme oil, and cinnamaldehyde. It presents data on the susceptibility of different bacterial strains to these herbal antimicrobials. The document concludes by acknowledging limitations to the therapeutic use of herbal antimicrobials, such as a lack of quality control and defined therapeutic doses, but also their potential to be effective antimicrobial treatments.

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.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. SALMONELLA IN INDIA
Salmonella and salmonellosis are prevalent all over the world
including the most developed as well as the poorest countries.
Salmonellosis is a hyperendemic disease in India in humans and
probably in animals too.
There are >2500 serovars of Salmonella distributed all over the
globe.
Of these about 231 serovars have been reported in India, 25
exclusively in human and equal number in animals rest have been
isolated from varied sources.
To start any disease control programme a country need to
understand the epidemiology of the disease and for salmonellosis
serotyping is of utmost significance.

•
•
>128 Salmonella serovars are there in animals in India and every year list expands by
about 2-5 new serovars.
Different serovars dominate in different kinds of animals.
On the basis of overall prevalence, major Salmonella serovars of zoonotic significance
are S.Typhimurium, S. Bareilly, S. Newport, S. Weltevreden, S. Saintpaul and S.
Enteritidis are the most prevalent wide host range Salmonella .
S. Weltevreden, S. Senftenberg, S. Saintpaul, S. Havana and S. Chester are prominent
emerging zoonotic Salmonella in last decade.
S. Typhimurium and S. Paratyphi A prevalence is on down-roads.
S. Typhi, a strict host adapted Salmonella of human being has been isolated from sick as
well as healthy Camel, Sheep, Cattle, Goats, Pigs, Birds and Rodents as well.
S. Saintpaul is emerging as new zoonotic pathogen in foods of animals and vegetable
origin.
S. Typhimurium is still the leading serovar of zoonotic significance in India.
Prevalence of S. Abortusequi is rapidly falling in equines and it is being replaced by other
serovars, different in different parts of the country.
After poultry and poultry product vegetable foods appeared to be the major emerging
source of Salmonella.
Host range of host restricted Salmonella serovars is widening.
