Haemato-Biochemical Changes in Canine Demodicosis

Immunology and pathogenesis of canine demodicosis.

Demodex mites colonized the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of mammals millions of years ago and have remained relatively unchanged in this protected ecologic niche since then. The host immune system detects and tolerates their presence. Toll-like receptor-2 of keratinocytes has been demonstrated to recognize mite chitin and to elicit an innate immune response. The subsequent acquired immun...

Practical and update management of canine demodicosis

Canine demodicosis is a common parasitic skin disease in dogs. It can be classified into 2 types based on distribution of lesion; localized and generalized demodicosis. Localized demodicois was reported to be usually spontaneous remission, therefore, no treatment is needed. Generalized demodicosis, on the other hand, cannot heal spontaneously so miticidal therapy should be prescribed. However, ...

Haemato-biochemical studies of Camels infested

Aim: To know the Haemato-Biochemical values of camels infested with Trypanosomiasis. Materials and Methods: A herd of 13 camels showing signs of inappetance, lethargy, going down in condition, urticarial swellings, oedema of pads and occasional shivering were examined. Blood samples were collected to screen for the trypanosomes and to record hemato-biochemical alterations. Treatment of both gro...

Haemato-biochemical Changes and Peritoneal Fluid Cytology in Clinical Cases of Bovine Peritonitis

Thirty two clinical cases were used to study changes in blood and peritoneal fluid of cattle suffering from peritonitis. Haematology revealed reversal of lymphocyte to neutrophil ratio, left shift and toxic changes in neutrophils, in majority of animals. Biochemical analysis revealed deranged liver and kidney function tests, increased glucose and lactate whereas albumin, chloride and calcium co...
