Abstract:

In order to investigate the prevalence of Mannheimia haemolytica infection in cattle, nasal andnasopharyngeal swabs and blood samples were obtained from 250 cattle after slaughter at Ahvaz(southwestern Iran) abattoir. Nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs were cultured on blood agar and incubated at37°C for 24-48 h. The suspected bacterial cultures were processed for isolation of M. haemolytica followingroutine bacteriological techniques. Sera were tested by indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) to revealantibodies against the organism. M. haemolytica was isolated from 1.6% of the sampled cattle. Statisticalanalysis showed that there was no relationship between age and sex with bacterial infection. Serologicalstudies showed that 71.6% of tested sera contained antibody (titer≥1/16) against M. haemolytica. There wasno association between age and sex with serological results.

Bacteriological and therapeutic studies on Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida in bovine respiratory disease at dairy cattle farms in Tehran

In this study, we performed a bacteriological investigation on bovine respiratory infections. Additionally, the study evaluates the efficacy of florfenicol 30 µg produced by Rooyan Darou Company (test group) as compared to a similar drug produced by Aboraihan Company (control group). Sampling was carried out on 30 calves at two farms with 30-55% incidence rate of respiratory disorders. Nasophar...

Prevalence of Linguatula serrata Nymphs in Mesenteric Lymph Nodes of Cattle and Buffaloes Slaughtered in Ahvaz Abattoir, Iran

BACKGROUND Linguatula serrata, one of the parasitic zoonoses, inhabits the canine respiratory system (final hosts). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of L. serrata nymphs in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of cattle and buffaloes (intermediate hosts) that were processed in the Ahvaz, Iran abattoir. METHODS During November 2010 to March 2011, 223 animals (119 cattl...
