    BOVINE LYMPHOSARCOMA IN CROSSBRED CATTLE HISTOPATHOLOGICAL, HAEMATOLOGICAL AND SEROLOGICAL STUDIES
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) VARGHESE, KOSHY; Heranjal, D. D.
    A rare case of lymphosarcoma in a Jersey X Kankrej cow with profuse enlargement of peripherial lymph nodes was studied in a crossbred farm near Anand, Gujarat. A number of other in a crossbred cattle were also showing enlargement of peripheral lymph nodes. The biopsy material of the peripheral lymph nodes of some of these cattle revealed lesions of lymphosarcoma. Two animals were euthanised and the autopay confirmed the biopsy findings and one animal died of lymphosarcoma. Haematological examination of all the animals revealed no significant or pathognomonic picture.

    A STUDY ON PATHOGENESIS OF EXPERIMENTAL TRYPANOSOMA EVANSI INFECTION IN LABORATORY ANIMALS-ALBINO MICE, RATS AND RABBITS
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) Patel, Naresh M.; Heranjal, D. D.
    Study on pathogenesis of T. evanai was carried out in albino mice, rats and rabbits which were artificially infected with T. evansi. In mice and rats, the disease was characterized by rapid and fatal course with a steady increase of trypanosomes in the blood circulation, while in the case of rabbits, the disease took a chronic course with a relaping type of infection. Blood glucose level significantly decreased during the course of infection in all the three species of laboratory animals. Differential leucocyte count revealed significant neutrophilla, lymphopenia and monocytosis, which were expressed through a significant increase in the values of Neutrophil - Lymphocyte Index (N.L.I.) and Monocyte- Lymphocyte Index (M.L.I.) in mice and rats. However these values were non-significant in the case of rabbits.

    THE STUDY OF BOVINE NEOPLASMS IN GUJARAT STATE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO CANCER OF HORN
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) JOSHI, B. P.; Heranjal, D. D.
    Bovine neoplasms were surveyed from the recorded cases at the Department of Pathology from 1965 to 1982, Incidence of aquamous cell carcinoma of the horn was highest amongst the reported tumours. Kankrej bullocks were found to be most succeptible to cancer of horn, The incidence of cancer of horn was found to be maximum in the age group of 7 to 10 years which happens to be the period when bullocks are used maximum for draught purposes and cows for milk purposes. In front of the observed cases paring of horn, application of oil and paints and stress appeared to be the predisposing factors to cancer of horn.
