    STUDIES ON PREVALENCE AND HAEMATO-BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF OVINE AMPHISTOMOSIS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2021) Kratika Jha; Dr. J. J. Hasnani
    In the present study, prevalence of ovine amphistomosis was derived by screening 632 faecal samples and 50 blood samples of infected sheep from in and around Anand district, Gujarat along with the haemato-biochemical parameters. An overall prevalence was recorded to be 23.25% with 147 positive cases out of 632 cases in sheep. A significant difference was observed in the prevalence rate of the disease in sheep. The highest prevalence of ovine amphistomosis was recorded in the month of October (39.62%). The prevalence recorded in the monsoon season (34.43%) was significantly higher than in winter season (21.42%) and summer season (13.80%). The prevalence of amphistomosis in ovine female was 24.76%. In old animals (>2) years of age the prevalence of 25.55% was observed to be non significantly higher than younger animals (<2) years respectively.

    STUDIES ON PREVALENCE, HAEMATO-BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF BOVINE BABESIOSIS BY USING BLOOD SMEAR EXAMINATION AND POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
    (Department of Veterinary Parasitology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Karishma Chauhan; Dr. P. V. Patel
    Overall prevalence of 5.88% of bovine babesiosis was observed in and around Anand district, Gujarat with 7.69% and 3.33% in cattle and buffaloes respectively. The highest prevalence of bovine babesiosis was recorded in the month of July (12.9%) followed by August (11..76%) and September (8.33%). In cattle and buffaloes highest prevalence was recorded in the month of July (19.05%) and August (10%) respectively. The disease was most prevalent (P<0.05) in monsoon season (10.57), followed by summer (3.06%) and least in winter season (1.47%). Bovines of both sexes were found susceptible. The prevalence of babesiosis recorded in bovine females was 7.98% with 10.42 % and 4.48 % in cattle and buffaloes respectively. A prevalence of 3.17% were recorded in bovine males with 4.1% and 1.89% in cattle and buffaloes respectively. Prevalence of babesiosis was found significantly (P<0.05) lower in bovines with age less than 12 months (1.98%) as compared to bovines with age more than 12 months (7.98%). In cattle and buffaloes with age less than 12 months 1.75 % and 2.72 % whereas in bovines with age more than 12 months, a prevalence of 10.71% and 3.95 % was observed respectively.

    STUDIES ON HELMINTHIC INFECTION IN HORSE (Equus caballus)
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Prakriti Singh; Dr. P. V. Patel
    The study was carried out to ascertain the monthwise, seasonwise, agewise, sexwise, breedwise, and overall prevalence as well as haematological and biochemical aspects of gastrointestinal helminthosis in horses at Anand District of Gujarat. The study was undertaken for the period of twelve months from March-2016 to February-2017. The faecal samples were collected from the horses brought to the Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC), Department of Surgery and Radiology, College of Veterinary Science and A. H., AAU, Anand and the surrounding field areas. For recording and findings of prevalence, faecal samples of horses were collected for the detection and identification of eggs of gastrointestinal helminths as per standard method.

    STUDIES ON PREVALENCE, HAEMATOBIOCHEMICAL ALTERATIONS AND DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF Trypanosoma evansi USING ADVANCED MOLECULAR TOOL AND BLOOD SMEAR EXAMINATION IN CATTLE AND BUFFALOES
    (COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Suchit S. Pandya; Dr. J. J. Hasnani
    In the present study, the prevalence of Trypanosomosis in cattle and buffaloes was studied by examination of blood samples collected from Anand and Mahisagar districts, Gujarat during the period from January 2016 to December 2016. Blood smear examination was done using microscope (100x) and stained with giemsa’s. A total of 502 and 495 blood samples of cattle and buffaloes were collected from Anand and Mahisagar districts and of which 66 (13.33%) and 42 (8.16%) samples were found positive for Trypanosoma evansi, respectively. The highest prevalence rate was observed in the month of September 11.94% and lowest in April 0.0% whereas the, highest prevalence was recorded in the month of October 20.63 % and lowest in April 4.76 % for cattle and buffaloes from Anand and Mahisagar districts, Gujarat. It was also observed that, occurrence of infection was increased from June up to the month of February except in November in cattle and buffaloes where it was decreased and from March onwards occurrence of the infection was decreased up to the month of June.

    EFFECT OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL AGENTS ON THE IONIC CONCENTRATION, CUTICULAR SECRETION, AND RATE OF MORTALITY IN THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF TICK, Hyalomma Anatolicum Anatolicum KOCH, 1844
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) Shah, Vallabh Ochhvolal; Avsatthi, B. L.
    The normal ionic concentration of haemolymph, cuticular secretion (wax), and rae of mortality in different stages of tick, Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum Koch, 1844, and the alternations displayed by them to acclimatize the disturbed condition in response to the Silica (as an physical agent); Dimilin (anti-cuticulin substance), Kabat (growth regulator); and Ekalux and Sumiciddin (as an Acaricides) were investigated during present study. Such experiment on different stages of tick Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum with different treatments indicated the potentiality of this tick to attain acclimatization easily by altering its basic homeostasis. In such tick nine biochemical characteristics were studied as a base for normal homeostasis and they were correleated with the rate of mortality in response to various treatments.

    STUDIES ON GASTRO-INTESTINAL NEMATODIASIS IN SHEEP UNDER FARM AND FIELD CONDITION IN PALANPUR DISTRICT OF NORTH GUJARAT
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) MOMIN, R. R.; Avsatthi, B. L.
    Studies were conducted from February 1983 to January 1984 (12 months). Faecal samples of 20 Patanwadi ewes, 20Patanwadi female lambs, 20 Crossbred ewes, 20 Exotic rams and 20 Marwadi ewes were collected per rectum from individual sheep at 2 week intervals. The degree of infestation was measured by egg counting and subsequent larval differentiation from faecal cultures. The post mortem materials for the study were collected for examination from sheep slaughtered in private slaughter house in Doesa. Four adult sheep of Marwadi breed were examined every month for the purpose, For Haematological study the samples from 3 Patanwadi adult ewes, 3Crossbred adult ewes and 3 Patanwadi female lambs were taken once in a month. Climatological data was collected from the Arid zone Meterological Station in Sardarkrishinagar.
