Ectoparasit

Ticks are a problem for cattle production mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, because they generate great economic losses. Acaricides and vaccines have been used to try to keep tick populations under control. This has been proven difficult given the resistance to acaricides and vaccines observed in ticks.

The New World Screwworm fly (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax, is an ectoparasite of warm-blooded animals and a major pest of livestock in parts of South America and the Caribbean where it remains endemic. In North and Central America it was eradicated using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT).

The dog and cat population data is generally scarce in developing countries due to absence of surveys. The demography of owned dogs and cats, and the associated ownership characteristics, are essential for the control of pet population and zoonosis. This study was conducted in three towns of West Shoa Zone of Ethiopia with the objectives of assessing demographic characteristics of owned dogs and cats and determinants of ownership.

Borrelia burgdorferi is the spirochete that causes Lyme Borreliosis (LB), which is a zoonotic tick-borne disease of humans and domestic animals. Hard ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites that serve as vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi. Studies on the presence of Lyme borreliosis in Egyptian animals and associated ticks are scarce.

The hard tick Hyalomma dromedarii is one of the most injurious ectoparasites affecting camels and apparently best adapted to deserts. As long-term blood feeders, ticks are threatened by host defense system compounds that can cause them to be rejected and, ultimately, to die. However, their saliva contains a cocktail of bioactive molecules that enables them to succeed in taking their blood meal.

Monogenean flatworms are the main fish ectoparasites inflicting serious economic losses in aquaculture. The polyopisthocotylean Sparicotyle chrysophrii parasitizes the gills of gilthead sea bream (GSB, Sparus aurata) causing anaemia, lamellae fusion and sloughing of epithelial cells, with the consequent hypoxia, emaciation, lethargy and mortality.

The honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor, is a leading cause of honey bee population declines. In addition to being an obligate ectoparasitic mite, Varroa carries several viruses that infect honey bees and act as the proximal cause of colony collapses.

The present paper deals with clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment of bovine theileriosis in the crossbred Sahiwal calf, aged about 1 month. In this case report, the clinical signs observed were; high fever (106.7 ˚F), anorexia, dullness, staggering gait, absence of suckling reflex, slight pale mucus membrane, presence of ectoparasites (ticks), and enlarged pre-scapular lymph nodes. The peripheral blood smear and lymph node smear confirmed the presence of piroplasmic organisms and Koch`s blue bodies respectively.

Mange is a class of skin diseases caused by parasitic mites. Sarcoptic mange is one of the common contagious skin diseases affecting all the domestic animals through host- adapted variants. All the dogs had intense itching, restlessness, frantic scrating hair-loss, red skin all over the body and scabs. Distribution of the lesions was noticed at the margins of the ears, elbows, face and legs. Parasitic mites that cause mange in mammals embed themselves either in skin or hair follicles in the animal, depending upon their genus. Sarcoptes spp. burrows into skin, while Demodex spp.

India is a major leader in milk production but its potential is not fully explored to the extent. Several constraints are perceived and faced by dairy farmers during adoption of recommended dairy management practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate constraints faced by dairy farmers in co-operative. Present study was undertaken in Shivamrut Dudh Utpadak Sahakari Sangh Maryadit, Akluj dist. Solapur of Maharashtra. The data were collected from 200 dairy farmers randomly selected from 10 villages through interview schedule, analyzed and results were interpreted.

Argulosis, caused predominantly by Argulus siamensis is a threatening ectoparasitic disease of Indian carp aquaculture. Vaccination against this parasite is a safe alternative to the harmful chemicals used for its control. Nitric oxide (NO), a signaling molecule plays an important role in immune mediated functions in different parasitic diseases.

Babesiosis is economically the most important arthropod-borne disease of cattle worldwide caused by protozoan parasite of the genus Babesia. Among several species of Babesia, Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis are most common in tropical and subtropical region. There are age-related immunity to primary infection of cattle with Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina. Generally young calves exhibit a strong innate immunity in comparison to adult cattle.

Ticks are economically devastating arthropod ectoparasites of livestock that exclusively feed on host blood. Ticks saliva is a crucial weapon against host-defense systems. Several small fragmented attempts are made by researchers to characterize these biomolecules. Being extremely small in size and quantity, numerous such molecules escape the deep insight of biochemists employing routine gel electrophoresis followed by Coomasie brilliant blue (CBB) staining.

Fruits as a back bone of horticulture are grown over an area of 5.50 million hectares in our country with a production of over 55 million metric tones per year. Our country accounts for 10% of the total world production. Among various fruits, apple being the pre-dominant temperate fruit of India accounts for about 3% of the total fruit production of the country. India stands 8th in apple production in the world but ranks at 53rd position in terms of productivity (FOA, 2007).

Bubaline pediculosis is a common and economically important ectoparasitic condition caused by sucking lice, Haematopinus tuberculatus. This condition in buffalo is characterized by anemia, mineral imbalance, and loss of production performance but its pathobiology is explored less. Aim of the present study was to explore the mineralooxidaive pathobiology of bubaline pediculosis and its amelioration using the two antioxidants as an adjunct therapeutic modality (N- acetyl cysteine and Vitamin E).
