    STUDIES ON CLINICO-BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF ANCYLOSTOMOSIS IN DOGS
    (AAU, Anand, 2015) BRAHMBHATT, NILIMABEN N.; Patel, P. V.
    The study was carried out to ascertain the monthwise, seasonwise, agewise, breedwise, sexwise and overall prevalence as well as haemato - biochemical and histopathological aspects of Ancylostomosis in dogs at Anand District of Gujarat. The study was undertaken for the period of twelve months from March-2014 to February- 2015. The faecal samples and intestinal contents were collected from the dogs brought to the hospital of Veterinary College (TVCC) and the surrounding areas of Anand district. Faecal samples were collected during anti-mortem examination and intestinal contents were collected during post-mortem examination of dogs. For recording / findings of prevalence, faecal samples and intestinal contents of dogs were collected for the detection and identification of eggs of Ancylostoma spp. as per standard method. The clinical signs were observed in dogs during Ancylostomosis were diarrhoea and anaemia accompanied by hydraemia, sometimes oedema, general weakness and emaciation. The faeces are often diarrhoeic and contain bloody mucus or they may be of a tarry nature. A total of 392 faecal samples were collected from Anand district out of which 90 faecal samples were found positive with the seasonal prevalence of 29.50% in summer,24.81% in monsoon and 15.03% in winter. The highest prevalence rate was observed in the month of May 36.66%) and lowest in the month of December 13.79%) from the faecal samples. The agewise prevalence of 36.02%) in young age, 16.15%) in middle age and 10.89% in old age. The sexwise prevalence of 29.41% in male and 14.61%) in female and the breedwise highest prevalence of Ancylostomosis were noticed 42.85%) in mongrel and lowest 14.10%) in doberman by examining faecal samples of Anand district. The overall prevalence rate was found to be 22.95% (90) for the faecal samples of Anand district. Ancylostomosis affects the haematological values of the host. The haematological parameters viz. haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total leulcocytes count (TLC), different leukocyte count (DLC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were smdied from Ancylostoma spp. infected and non-infected dogs.
