    STANDARDIZATION OF IMMMUNO- CAPTURE ELISA FOR BLUETONGUE VIRUS USING VP7 RECOMBINANT PROTEIN
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) SHIVAKUMARA, R
    Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious, non-contagious, insect borne viral disease of sheep and other domestic ruminants, such as goats and cattle. Wild ruminants like deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorn sheep, white tailed deer and various other Artiodactyla are also susceptible leading to heavy losses due to high morbidity and mortality. The outcome of infection ranges from inapparent in the vast majority of infected animals such as goats and cattle to fatal in a proportion of infected sheep, deer and some of the wild ruminants. Clinical signs of disease, when they appear in domestic and wild ruminants, include a febrile response characterized by inflammation and congestion of mucous membrane, facial edema, hemorrhages and ulceration of the mucous membranes. In severe cases the tongue may show intense hyperemia, edematous which may turn cyanotic and protrude from the mouth. Dermatitis may cause wool breaks. Sheep may become lame as a result of coronitis and due to skeletal myopathy. It has been estimated that the worldwide losses due to BT is three billion dollars per year (Mellor and Witmann, 2002). There are mandatory restrictions on the movement of ruminants from BTV endemic countries to BTV free countries as it is listed under â List Aâ diseases by Office International des Epizooties (OIE).

    COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF IMMUNE RESPONSE OF SHEEP AND GOATS TO SUNGRI (IVRI) AND ARASUR STRAIN (TANUVAS) OF PPR VACCINE VIRUSES
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) A.K. SANTOSH
    The animal sector has made a tremendous progress in the past two decades and continues to perform even better if the large number of endemic and emerging livestock diseases are controlled.
