    Studies On Pathology, Transmissibility And Chemotherapy Of Manage Infestation In Rabbits
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1988) Bhattacharyya Debasis; A. Basu
    In the present study, clinical manifestation and gross pathology of body coat were observed in both natural and experimentally infected rabbits at weekly interval upto 56 days post-infection. The incubation period was also observed in both groups of animals. In natural infection, the incubation period was 13 days, whereas, in artificial infection this period was seen to be 25 days. The site of onset of lesion, in natural infection group, was over the nose, whereas in experimentally infected cases the lesion started from the base of the ears, after which the spread of lesion was more or less similar in both groups. During first two weeks pei. the lesion was restricted on the facial region of the body. From third week onward, the lesions were seen on other parts of the body e.g. paws of hind and fore legs and external genitalia of both male and female. There were scab formation, alopecia and wrinkling of skin with dull, depressed and emaciated condition of the animals. On examination of the skin scraping, intensity of infection was found to be maximum at seventh and eighth week P.i. in artificially infected group (++++) and eighth week p.i. in naturally infected group (****).

    Studies On Some Aspects Of Experimental Infection Of Toxocara canis LARVAE In ALBINO MICE
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1988) Samanta Subhamoy; M. Z. Ansari
    Studies on the prevalence of Toxocara canis in dogs in and around Ranchi, on the basis of faecal examination revealed that of 197 faecal samples 42 (21.32 were positive for infection. The infection rate was higher 38.03 % (27 of 71) in 'stray dogs than 11.91 % (15 of 126) in 'owved dogs. In both stray' and 'omned' groups of dogs the infection rate was higher in young dogs of less than 1 year (1) age (47.17 % and 24.49 %) and lower in those above 1 year (1) age (11.11 % and 3.89 %) , respectively. On sacrifice of T. canis positive pups, the mean vorm burden vas 10.4 worms/pup and the ratio between male and female worms was almost equal (1.08 : 1). Temperature had profound effect on the embryo nation of T. canes eggs. Eggs kept in cultures reached the infective stage in 32-39 days at 17°C and 12 - 14 days at 27°c. Egg cultures maintained at 37°c disintegrated before reaching the infective stage. The average measurement of unembryonated eggs vas 86.2 by 75.6 , embryonated eggs 86.7 by 77.7 and second stage larvae, recovered from visceral organs, 352.8 by 20.3. Larval recoveries were maximum of 76.8 % in liver on day 2, 22.4 % in lungs and 11.1 % in kidney on day 5, 3.7 % in spleen and 2.7 % in eye on day 10, 57.3 % in skeletal muscles on day 15 and 40.1 % in brain on day 30 post-infection.

    Incidence OF Infection in Domestic Animals And Its Control In Mice And Buffaloes
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1988) Laha, Ramgopal; K.D Prasad
    The present investigation was conducted on "Incidence of Trypanosoma evansi infection in domestic animals and its control in mice and buffaloes to know the status of the protozoa in cattle, buffaloes and goats in and around Ranchi by blood and spleen smears examination alongwith biological test. For developing an effective chemotherapeutic and prophylactic control against the infection in aice and buffaloes, TRIBEXIN Prosalt (IDPL, Hyderabad) was tried in a single S/C dose a 6,66 mg/kg but. The effectiveness of the drug was evaluated on the basis of criteria taken into account. The overall incidence of evansi in cattle and buffaloes revealed 22 (3.17 %) cattle and 12 (2.69 %) buffaloes out of 693 and 446 animals tested, respectively were harboring the organism during the year of examination. But the seasonal incidence of the infection indicated that 4.32, 4.29 and 0.76 per cent cattle were positive for the protozoa during summer, rainy and winter seasons, respectively. The infection rate in buffaloes during summer, rainy and winter seasons were 3.30, 4.29 and 0.61 per cent, respectively. None of the goats tested were found carrier of the protozoa. When the infected mice were therapeutically treated with the drug it cured the mice from the acute infection within 24 hours PF whereas the pretreated mice did not allow the parasites to establish in thes. Further observations showed that the infected mice regained the normal values of DLC, Hb and PCV shortly after treatment. But the treated and subsequently

    Studies On the Immunity Against In Rabbit
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1988) Das Abhijit; A. Basu
    From the results of the various experiments of the present study, it can be concluded that the rabbits can be used as a suitable laboratory host for performing various experiments with the tick microplus. By repeated infestation the laboratory host, rabbits gains sufficient amount of resistance against further infestation with B. microplus. For this purpose four repeated infestation is sufficient. As a result of repeated infestation the rabbits attains cell mediated immunity against the ticks evidenced by increase in basophil count. Rabbits can also be immunized by inoculating tick tissus antigon, and this is more effective than immunization by repeated infestation. Inoculation of tick tissues antigen hyper sensitizes the rabbits against the ticks.

    STUDIES ON THE INCIDENCE AND HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIP OF HYDATID DISEASE IN RUMINANTS
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1988) Ghorui, Samar kumar; Sahai, B.N.
    A total of 1626 animals comprising of cattle (462), buffaloes (312), sheep (79) and goats (773), were examined based on slaughter house and post-mortem room materials for hydatid infection for a period of 13 months (November 87 to November ¹88). The overall infection was 14.32 per cent, whereas host-wise it was 19.70 per cent in cattle, 14.42 per cent in buffaloes, 17.72 per cent in sheep and 10.74 per cent in goats. The statistical analysis for incidence of hydatid infection revealed highly significant P 0.05) . Organ-vise distribution of hydatid infection in various hosts revealed that liver of cattle had highest incidence (45.05 %) followed by lungs (40.66 %), in both lungs and liver (10.99 %) and spleen (3.30 %). In buffaloes, on the other hand, lungs had highest incidence (46.67%) , followed by liver (31.11%), both lung and liver (20.00 %) and spleen (2.22 %). Again, in

    Studies on Sarcoptic mange in Goats and Sheep and its control
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1985) Ahmad, Mohammad Aijiaz; Basu, A.
    Three recent synthetic pyrethroid compounds viz., Butox, sumitik and Taktie were tried at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 percent concentrations against the disease in both species of animals. It was observed, that all the three drug when applied at 0.1 and 0.2 per cent concentrations, applied five times at three days interval were not successful to eliminate the mites either in goats or sheep. However, all above drugs were effective against these mites, both in goats and sheep at 0.5 per cent concentration, when applied five times at three days interval. It was concluded that Taktia, 0.5 per cunt was highly effective in goats followed by Butox 0.5 per cent and sumitik 0.5 per cent, in respect of their performance. In sheep, all the three drugs were equally effective at 0.5 per cent concentration when applied 4 or 5 times at three days interval.

    Studies on Host-Parasite Relationship and chemotherapy of Paramphistomum cervi in Goats
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1982) Singh, Rajeshwar Prasaf; Sahai, B.N.
    The present study was undertaken to find out the effect of pure Peremphistomuncervi infection on biochemical, haematological, histopathological and histochemical alterations in goats. An attempt was also made to find out the suitability of immuno-diagnosis and chemotherapeutic agents in the diagnosis and treatment of paramphistomiasiscervi, respectively. BIOCHEMICAL STUDY. During the present study, estimation of total serum protein indicated highly significant (at 1% leve decrease in total serum protein on 20th day post-infection whereas the decrease in total serum protein per cent was significant at 5% level on 40th day after the infection. However on 60th day the decrease in total serum protein was not significantly different from the control value. HAEMATOLOGICAL STUDIES. Hematological studies further revealed severe anemia from 10th day till 60th day post-infection. Both hemoglobin, packed cell volume per cent and total erythrocyte count showed significant to highly significant decrease after E. cervi infection in all experimental kids. On the other hand total leucocyte count was significantly elevated (PL 0.01).

    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1985) Pandit, Basharat Ahmad; Prasad, K.D.
    The prapant investigation was conduated on the "provalance and antrol of cosaidial (Simeria spp.) infaat lone in sheap of Chotanagpur, Bihar" to know (1) the prevalendo of distorant apeaton of Sinaria in shoop. (2) to ancoctain the prophylactic and therapeutic eftiuaales of lasaload against ovina aouaisiosie and (3) to study the histopathological changes ducing lasalouid administration. The overall prevalence of asaidial infection in choop of five districts of the region indicated that 70. 44 per cent (1244 out of 1766) animals were found to be infected with eight species of simaria namulys iuria ninalohlyakimovas, E. aheata, Earloingi, parva. E faurul, granulosa, grandallis and intricata. The age-wine prevalence of the protozo determined in the lambs, weaners and adults were 79.27, 76.59 ani 59.20 per cent, respactively. The study on the prevalence of the protozos in sheep of different ages in fasted that the majority of the population examined vere acting as the carriers of the infection. To control the coccidiosis in lambs experiments were carried out to judge the prophylactic and therapeutia efficnales of lasaloaid. For the prophylactic efficacy, two groups of aix lambs in each wure infected with 1.5 lads of mixed species sporulated oosyete of Simaria and mediaacado 25 and so mg/log food of the drug before 7 and 3 days infection.
