Scrub Typhus (Mite Typhus) in Bombay with a Report on the Isolation of Causal Rickettsia *This work has been carried out under the auspices of the Indian Research Fund Association

Weil-Felix reaction with blood of patients suffering ̂ from scrub typhus during its course shows significant agglutination titres against yproteus XK strains. In Bombay. Patel (1940) reported on two cases but the titres were ^r below the diagnostic level. Later, two more cases clinically suspected and serologically confirmed were reported by Patel (1943) and Patel (1943). Systematic Weil-Felix r...

plicated technique as yolk-sac cultivation or inoculation of different laboratory animals. Serological tests such as the Weil-Felix reaction, complement fixation or rickettsial agglutination are much simpler to perform but the last two of these require specific rickettsial antigens; the preparation of these is not within the scope of an average small laboratory, so a laboratory worker has to co...

Comparative evaluation of clinical efficiency of intramuscular diazepam-ketamine, medetomidine-ketamine, and xylazine-ketamine anaesthesia in Ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus)

Background: Several injectable anaesthetics and sedatives are used in various avian species for general anaesthesia. Birds are very sensitive animals and any mismanagement in a crisis can lead to immediate shock and death. Therefore, careful selection of the safest possible anaesthetic agent and dose is very important. Aims: The aim of this study was to examine...
