    (Department of Veterinery Public Health, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Mannuthy, 1978) Abraham, J; KAU; Padmanabha, Iyer R
    A study was made on larval cestodes of zoonotic importance in Kerala with special reference to hydatid. The investigations included incidence of hydatidosis in animals slaughtered in Kerala in relation to the species, organ involved, fertility status; some of the biochemical constituents viz. total nitrogen, protein, sodium and potassium and diagnostic tests; indirect haemagglutination and cason’s intradermal test. Data on incidence of cysticercus bovis was also collected simultaneously. Indirect haemagglutination test was carried out on sera samples collected from cattle and the observations studied in relation to the infection – status ascertained at post-mortem. Intradermal test was done on cattle brought for slaughter and results were confirmed during post-mortem.

    Preliminary study of bacteriological quality of market beef of Trichur with special reference to Salmonella and Staphylococci
    (Department of Veterinery Public Health, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Mannuthy, 1978) Nanu, E; KAU; Soman, M
    With a view to investigate the bacteriological quality of market beef in and around Trichur Town in respect of bacteria of public health importance, with special reference to Staphylococci and Salmonellae, the present study was undertaken. Seventy samples of market beef collected from meat stalls in and around Trichur town were processed for isolation of Salmonellae and Staphylococci following standard procedures. Sixty two isolates of Staphylococci, of which 49 coagulase positive suggestive of S. aureus were obtained. All Staphylococci were resistant to Penicillin and Ampicillin. A high rate of resistance was observed against Erythromycin, Streptomycin, Kanamycin, Terramycin and Chloromycetin. Coagulase positive characters and antibiotic resistance denote its importance in public health.
