Background: Coccidiosis, caused by coccidia of the genus Eimeria, accounts for significant production loss-es in global poultry industry. This study evaluated commercial farmers’ knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAPs) on chicken coccidiosis its control Lagos State, Nigeria. Methods: Semi-structured questionnaires assessing KAPs relating to were administered 157 farmers. Summary statistics pe...

A 4 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation levels (0, 5 and 10 g/kg) chamomile flower powder a level (60 mg/kg) salinomycin on performance gut health broiler chickens under coccidiosis challenge. total 320-day-old Ross 308 broilers were assigned eight treatments four replicates with 10 birds. Oral inoculation challenged groups Eimeria ...

Visceral urate deposition (visceral gout) is a common finding during post-mortem examination of poultry. Rare cases of visceral gout may occur in wild birds. A rare case of visceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) is reported here. In May 2013, carcass of a little bittern was submitted for necropsy to the Clinic of Poultry Diseases (Faculty of Veterinary Medic...

Five cases of visceral leishmaniasis are reported. The youngest patient was one year old and the eldest 8 years. All belonged to low-income families and their growth and development caracteristics were below standard. Diagnosis was confirmed in 4 cases through bone marrow aspiration and in one case by raised serum antibody titer prior to treatment and dramatic response to specific treatment. He...

Background: Coccidiosis is recognized as the parasitic disease that has the greatest economic impact on poultry production. Modern poultry production is largely dependent upon anticoccidials. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the efficacy of two chemical anticoccidials (Clopidol and Diclazuril) on oocyst shedding and their probable effects on growth performan...

To the Editor: Tularemia is a highly pathogenic zoonosis caused by the gram-negative intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis. F. tularensis causes serious septicemia in animals, especially wild rodents and lagomorphs (rabbits and hares), and potentially fatal, multisystemic disease in humans. The human mortality rate can reach 30% in untreated persons (1). F. tularensis is listed as a ca...

in endemic regions visceral leishmaniasis is one of the most common opportunistic infections in hiv positive patients. simultaneous infection with leishmania and hiv has been reported in some countries but there's no such report from iran in medical literature. patient was a 27-year-old man admitted with chief complaints of intermittent abdominal pain, anorexia and vomiting since 6 months ago. ...

background: the diagnosis of toxocariasis heavily depends on immunological tests because the number of parasites is usually few in infected tissues, unless they migrate into an organ such as eye. in general, patients with ocular toxocariasis have serum anti- t canis antibody titres that are significantly lower than those with visceral toxocariasis. objective: to diagnose the asymptomatic toxoca...

visceral leishmaniasis (vl) remains an important public health problem in china. it is essential to elucidate the current epidemiological characteristics of vl for designing control policy.the data were obtained from china disease prevention and control information system from 2004 to 2012. characteristics by major variables, such as age, gender, season and geography were analyzed using spss13....
