ArticleItem Open Access Acridine Orange staining for quick detection of blood parasites(Journal of Veterinary Parasitology, 2007-06) Ravindran, Reghu; Lakshmanan, Bindu; Sreekumar, C.; John, Lalitha; Gomathinayagam, S.; Mishra, A.K.; Tewari, A.K.; Rao, J.R.; TANUVASAcridine Orange staining technique was found to be accurate, simple and rapid for screening large number of blood smears for the detection of haemoprotozoans and rickettsiales. Low parasitaemia can be detected with better accuracy.OtherItem Open Access Age at First Lambing and Lambing Interval in Nilagiri and Sandyno Ewes(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2011-12) Iyue, M.; Venkataramanan, R.; Kumar, R.

Organisms indistinguishable from Blastocystis sp. were identified in the Giemsa stained i8ntestinal scrapings collected from in the Giemsa stained intestinal scrapings collected from carcasses of piglet and poultry that were brought for necropsy to the Central University Laboratory, Chennai.ArticleItem Open Access Bleeding Hoof Wound and its Clinical Management in a Pony(INTAS Polivet, 2012) Venkataramanan, R.; Sreekumar, C.; TANUVASA pony was reported with sharp metal sheet induced traumatic oblique cut at the hoof region. On examination, it was observed that there was severing of three arteries of hoof. Arterial bleeding can be fatal and requires ligation. Being a hard surface, the case was managed clinically with thermocautery and pressure bandage application. The wound and arteries were completely restored and healed by 20th day. The animal resumed normancy.ArticleItem Open Access Bovine Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis (TRP) and its Surgical Management - A Report of two cases(INTAS Polivet, 2010) Venkataramanan, R.; Selvan, P.; Sreekumar, C.; TANUVASTraumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP) is an economically important disease affecting mostly cattle. The disease is caused by accidental ingestion of sharp foreign bodies. The signs of this disease depend on the site of reticular perforation and lesions caused by further migration of the foreign body. Some of the usual sequelae of TRP are peritonitis (acute, chronic, local or diffuse), pericarditis and diaphragmatic hernia while hepatic abscess, splenic abscess, pleurisy etc. are less common. Rupture of left gastro-epiploic artery and abscess, rupturing, discharging the foreign body to the exterior are rare and unusual (Roth and King, 1991; Radostits et al., 1994). Two cases in which the foreign bodies were discharged to the exterior are reported here.OtherItem Open Access Canine Helminthoses Affecting Sheep in an Organized Sheep Farm(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2011-12) Krishnakumar, S.; Sreekumar, C.; Venkataramanan, R.; Kumar, R. Anil; Prema, N.; Iyue, M.ArticleItem Open Access Canine metacestodes in an organized sheep farm(2017) Subbiah, K.; Sreekumar, C.; Venkataramanan, R.; Anil Kumar, R.; Prema, N.; Selvaraj, J.; TANUVASInfections with the larval stages of canine tapeworms were recorded in sheep belonging to an organized sheep farm. Asymptomatic presence of Cysticercus tenuicollis, metacestode of Taenia hydatigena, in the peritoneal cavities of sheep, was encountered during necropsy. Deaths in lambs due to peracute and subacute hepatitis cysticercosa were recorded. The fact that C. tenuicollis lacks the characteristic armed rostellum during the early stages should be taken into account during diagnosis of peracute cysticercosis. During the lean months of winter, overwhelming chronic infection with 53 cysts of C. tenuicollis resulted in death of a hogget. Non-viable, calcified cysts, apparently those of C. ovis (intermediate stage of T. ovis), were documented in the heart muscles of four ewes. Death following cerebral signs of a ewe was attributed to the presence of a single Coenurus cerebralis cyst (larval stage of T. multiceps) in the occipital region of the cranial cavity. The presence of Coenurus acquires public health importance owing to its zoonotic potential. Hydatid cysts were not recorded in any of the sheep. The study shows the importance of restricting access of canids in sheep farms and pastures. Removal of fecal pats of domestic dogs from areas grazed by lambs will prevent fatal cysticercosis caused due to ingestion of gravid proglottids.OtherItem Open Access Carrot Whole Tops: An Economic and Nutritious Unconventional Green Fodder(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2011-12) Venkataramanan, R.; Gunasekaran, S.; Sreekumar, C.; Balakrishnan, V.; Iyue, M.ArticleItem Open Access Comparison of in-vitro bioassays for evaluation of the response of different stages of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato to calcium alginate encapsulated pheromone beads(2019-02) Gowrishankar, S.; Latha, Bhaskaran Ravi; Sreekumar, C.; Leela, V.; TANUVASTick sex pheromone (SP), assembly pheromone (AP) and their combination (SP + AP) were encapsulated in calcium alginate beads. In vitro bioassays, namely Petri dish and olfactometer assays, were employed to estimate the level of attraction of the various stages of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, namely unfed and engorged (fed) larvae, nymphs, females, and males to the different pheromones. The study revealed that only the Petri dish assay was suitable to evaluate the response of larval stages whereas the olfactometer bioassay could also be used for evaluating the response of all other stages. Attraction to pheromone encapsulated calcium alginate beads of all tick stage was higher in the Petri dish assay than in the olfactometer assay.ArticleItem Open Access Concurrent Diphyllobothrium Latum Infection and Isospora Felis Infection in a Cat(Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2008-11) Balachandran, C.; Kulasekar, K.; Pazhanivel, N.; Sreekumar, C.; TANUVASDiphyllobothrium latum is an important cestode parasite, which produces macrocytic anaemia resembling pernicious anaemia in animals.D. latum occurs in the small intestine of cat in many parts of the world (Soulsby, 1982; Hendrix, 1995; Urguhart et al., 1996). Isospora sp. produced severe diarrhoea in young kittens with high oocyst counts (Soulsby, 1982; Urguhart et al., 1996; Barutzki and Schaper, 2003).ArticleItem Open Access CONCURRENT DIPHYLLOBOTHRIUM LATUM INFECTION AND ISOSPORA FELIS INFECTION IN A CAT(TANUVAS, 2008-11) Balachandran, C.; Kulasekar, K.; Pazhanivel, N.; Sreekumar, C.; TANUVASDiphyllobothrium latum is an important cestode parasite, which produces macrocytic anaemia resembling pernicious anaemia in animals. D. latum occurs in the small intestine of cat in many parts of the world (Soulsby, 1982; Hendrix, 1995; Urguhart et al., 1996).

They were stained with Glemsa and examined for the presence of Eimeria sp. In positive smears sexual and/or asexual forms of the parasite could be traced. The sequential development of various intracellular stages could be traced. The significance of the cytological finding in relation to the life cycle of the parasite and its pathogenesis and the utility of this technique as a diagnostic tool have been discussed.ArticleItem Open Access Dermatophytosis and its Therapeutic Management in a Pup(INTAS Polivet, 2013) Venkataramanan, R.; Sreekumar, C.; Gopi, H.; TANUVASThe diagnosis and treatment of dermatophytosis in a Labrador retriever puppy was successfully attempted with emphasis on differential diagnosis from other forms of dermatitis.
