    Studies on Contagious Caprine Pleud - Pneumonia (CPPP) WITHH special reference to Pathogenicity and Chemotherapy
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1995) Muzaffar Shaheen; S.Haque
    The study on contagious caprine pleuropneumonia was conducted with respect to its occurrence in kids, during winter, its pathogenicity and chemotherapy in the department of Medicine, R.V.C. from December 1994 to April 1995. The sailent features of investigation were summarized as follows : 1. The occurrence of caprine Mycoplasmas in natural cases of pneumonia in kids, was found to be 31.37 %, 13.33% and 35 % in R.V.C. goat farm, kids of free herd village conditions and post mortem cases of goats, respectively. Thus it was concluded that the infection rate of Mycoplasma species was higher in the kids of an organized goat farm, where semi-intensive managemental practices were employed, as compared to that of free herd open village flocks, Feeding nature & pattern had no significant effect, though seasonal factor (winter) was an important predisposition. 1.2. Bio chemical and growth inhibition tests of isolates revealed that 24 strains (51.06%) were identified as M. mycoides subsp.mycoides 12 strains (25.53%) were typed as M. agalactiae and 6 strains (10.84%) were M. arginini. Rest of the 6 isolates (18.67%) were untypeable by the available antisera.

    Studies On Clinical Cases Of Bovine Tropical Theileriasis With Respect To Incidence, Biochemical, Haematological Changes And Its Chemotherapy
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1993) Utpal Chakraborty; Dr.R.P.Sinha
    Bovine tropical theilerionis caused by Theileria annulata is widely prevalent among cross-bred cattle in and around Ranchi. Genetically improved indigenous Zebu cattle is not free from the disease though they have greater degree of resistance than cross-bred cattle. The highest incidence (35.48 %) of the disease during the month of July against the lowest (2.77 %) during December indicated the role of ambient temperature in the tropical belt of this subcontinent. Further, it also indicates the role of vector ticks in the production of the disease which appears in large in number during this period. Incidence of bovine tropical thoileriosis was significantly very high during summer followed by monsoon. This observation also supports the role of temperature, humidity and rain fall in the occurrence of the disease. The prevalence of theileriosis in Ranchi is highest (25.72 %) in cattle of 2-4 years age group though calf as old as 17 days also found to suffer from the disease. In indigenous stock the prevalence rate was 6.54 % against 24.16 % in cross bred animals. Theileriosis occurred at higher rate during first and second lactation than during the third lactation and onwards. Stress factors due to long transportation, Calving and inter current infection played important role in its production.
