Antimicrobial resistance is the phenomenon in which the microorganisms become resistant to the effects of drugs, that are used to cure the infections caused by them. The present study was conducted for determination of antibiotic resistance patterns and for detection of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence genes in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from goat milk. ...

Investigations w ere carried out to determ ine the base-line values for susceptibility of laboratory population of T. urticae to selected acaricides, to monitor the level of resistance to acaricides in T. urticae populations on tomato from Bangalore and Kolar districts and field evaluation of neweracaricidal molecules against this mite pest on tomato. The suscept...

Genomic patterns of introgression were investigated from B genome of Brassica carinata/ B. juncea into 54 introgression lines (ILs) of Brassica napus using various bioinformatic and cytogenetic tools. Published genome sequences of both B. napus and B. nigra were used together as a reference for SNP calling and genotyping of introgression lines which were resequ...

A forty five day old, male Labrador retriever was presented to the Clinics, Madras Veterinary College with severe respiratory distress, lethargic, coughing and abdominal distention. A high grade murmur, muffled heart sounds and diminished breath sounds observed upon auscultation of chest. ECG revealed deep Q wave and tall R wave, ventricular tachycardia. Chest radi...

“M-MODE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS IN HEALTHY LABRADOR DOGS” The aim of this study was to establish normal reference M-mode echocardiographic values for Labrador breed of dog under Indian conditions. Mean, standard deviation and standard error were calculated for each parameter. Correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the potential dependence o...

M-mode echocardiography is a non- invasive tool for the quantitative study of heart. Rajapalayam is a guard dog and Chippiparai is a sight hound breed which both originated from the southern districts of Tamil Nadu, India. Diagnosis of cardiac diseases in our indigenous breeds has been challenging due to less or no work done regarding cardiac anatomy and physiology...
