In order to perform a histomorphometric study of blood cells in male adult ostrich, blood samples were obtained from jugular vein of 10 clinically healthy male adult ostriches (2 - 3 years old). The slides were stained with the Giemsa methods and the smears were evaluated for cellular morphology, with cellular size being determined by micrometry. The findings of this study revealed that the sha...

The objectives were fourfold: first determine the seroprevalence of in horses via cELISA, second establish haematological profile different Algerian areas through optical microsco...

Histidine-rich protein II (HRP2)-based malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have shown high sensitivity and specificity for detecting Plasmodium falciparum malaria in a variety of study settings. However, RDTs are susceptible to heat and humidity and variation in individual performance, which may affect their use in field settings. We evaluated sensitivity and specificity of RDTs during routin...

Effective determination of malaria parasitemia is paramount in aiding clinicians to accurately estimate the severity and guide response for quality treatment. Microscopy by thick smear blood films conventional method determination. Despite its edge over other existing methods determination, it has been critiqued being laborious, time consuming equally requires expert knowledge an efficient manu...

of birds and is distributed world-wide. Fowl cholera outbreaks often manifest as acute fatal septicaemia, primarily in adult birds. Chronic and asymptomatic infections also occur. Diagnosis depends on isolation and identification of the causative bacterium, Pasteurella multocida. Presumptive diagnosis may be based on the occurrence of typical signs and lesions and/or on the microscopic demonstr...
