A Comparative Study Of Brucellosis In Livestock And Human Beings
by Amra Akram | Muhammed Ajmal | Ata- Ur -Rehman Rizvi | Faculty of Veterinary Sciences.
Material type: ; Format:

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Seroprevalence of brucellosis in 541 cattle, 708 sheep, 780 goats and 63 human beings of one farm and 189 cattle, 125 buffaloes, 68 goats and 51 human beings of the other farm was studied. The various serologic tests used for this investigation included the slide agglutination test for initial screening, and the standard tube agglutination test (SAT) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELIS1) for further processing of the sera i.e. quantitation of Brucella antibodies. The higher prevalence of the disease was observed in cattle than buffaloes while goats outnumbered sheep in this respect. The prevalence of the disease in human beings was found to be related positively with the prevalence of the disease in animals.
The overall prevalence of the disease in sheep of one farm was found to be 35(4.947.), 27(3.817.) and 29(4.097.), respectively, by the slide agglutination, standard tube agglutination test (SPIT) and ELISA. Goats of one farm displayed a prevalence of 202(25.897.), 173(22.187.) and 183(23.467.) and that of the other, 3(4.417.), 2(2.947.) and 2(2.947.), respectively, by the slide agglutination, SPT and ELISA. This remarkable difference in the incidence of the disease in two farms may be attributed to the difference of
sample size.
A prevalence of 127(23.48%), 87 (16.08%) and 91(16.82%) was recorded in cattle of one farm while 30(15.877.), 19(10.057.) and 20(10.587.) cattle of the other proved positive respectively to the slide agglutination, SpiT and ELIS. In buffaloes, a prevalence of 17(13.67.) and 11(8.87.) and 11(8.97.) was noted by the slide agglutination, ST and ELISA tests, respectively. While interpreting the age-group relationship of the disease, it was found that adult and old animals had a higher prevalence than the young animals. Owing to the small number of male serum samples, the sex- based analysis of the disease could not have been adequately discussed
The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was found to be a sensitive approach in detecting anti-Brucella antibodies than the slide agglutination and standard tube agglutination tests. The ELISA titres were, on average, about 8 times higher than the corresponding SAT titres
The results of this study have revealed an alarming prevalence of brucellosis in animals of farms which calls for an emergent response of experts for reappraisal and reassessment of the present brucellosis control situation, especially when the disease is an important zoonosis and a potential threat to the human health.

Publisher: 1989Dissertation note: A total of 60 buffalo calves, 30 from Military Farm Lahore Cantt and 30 from Livestock Experiment Station Rakh Dera Chahi Lahore were examined for post-haemorrhagic septi- cania vaccination serum antibody titre profile. The animals maintained at Livestock Experiment Station Rakh Dera Chahi were divided into group A (Age-20 months) vaccinated second time and group B (Age 3-7 months), vaccinated for the first time. The Military Farm animals were also vaccinated for the first time. The indirect haemagglutination (IRA) test and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were employed for determination of antibody titres. The animals were vaccinated with alum precipitated formaline killed bacterin. The serum was collected before and after 2,7,12,16,20 and 22 weeks of vaccination from animals of Military Farm. The serum of animals from Livestock Experiment Station Rakh Dera Chahi was collected after 10,12, 16, 20, & 24 weeks of vaccination.
On the basis of indirect haemagglutination test, the immune response was very poor upto 7th week postvaccination. The maximum GMT recorded being 1.751 for animals of Military Farm. An outbreak of the disease took place at this stage killing 4 animals with the consequent revaccination of animals; increasing the GMT upto 23.508 five weeks after revaccination. The Livestock Experiment Station Rakh Dera Chahl animals showed a variable immune response in group A and B animals with a better and quick response in the former as compared to the latter. The response remained unsteady upto 12th week postvaccination and thereafter registered an increase in titres, believed to be due to an antigenic stimulus either through a natural infection or revaccination of the animals.
The absorbence values of the sera obtained through ELISA gave the same immune response profile as detected by
IHA.

Publisher: 1990Dissertation note: Haemorrhagic septicaemia, an imrortant bacterial disease of dairy animals (buffaloes and cattle), results due to infection of Pasteurella inultocida. Undoubtedly improved managemental practices and regular vaccination program has significantly contributed to lowering the incidence of the disease in our country, however, the pattern of the diseases has under gone changes and contrary to the past, presently the outbreaks are mostly experienced in young animals, especially, calves. The latter are invariably left unvaccinated thinking that they are safe by virtue of their passive immunity.
The present project was designed to have an idea regarding the actual period for which maternally derived antibodies were able to afford protection against any possible attack of the infection. The study was conducted on fifty pregnant, randomly selected buffaloes, maintained at livestock production and research institute Bahadarnagar Okara (LPRI).
The serum samples of the vaccinated mothers were collected a month before parturition. The serum samples of the calves were collected once before taking colostrum then at the interval of two weeks for the first four weeks. All subsequent sampling was done at an interval of four weeks. The processing of the samples for antibody titre was carried out through ELISA and haemagglutination tests.
The indirect haemgglutination and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay tests showed that the titres of maternally derived antibodies, received by taking colostrum, attained a peak during the first two weeks and gradually decreased in the following two weeks i,e up to the age of one month. At the age of 8 weeks calves were found with 0 titres.
Aanalysis of IHA revealed that the IHA titres of calves rose from 1.932 GMT to 6.824 GMT from birth to 2 weeks of age and gradually faded to 6.714 GMT after four weeks of age. calves were found with 0 titres at the age of 8 weeks.
The analysis of ELISA titres showed highest antibody titre (36.225 GMT) was in calf on 2nd week and then declined (32.633 BMT) gradually upto 4th week. At the age of 8th week calves were found with titres (4.366 GMT) almost negligible.
Buffalo dams (407.) were found with low titres when examined for their antibody level 30+10 days before parturition, despite the fact that they received vaccination according to the normal schedule of the farm.
Results of the study indicated that there was great need for improvement of vaccine and vaccine schedule i,e animals should be immunized thrice a year. Pregnant dams should be vaccinated late in gestation period so as to raise their antibody levels against the disease, ensuring a sound passive immunity of their off springs. Calves should also be regularly tested for their maternal antibodies and should be immediately vaccinated if passive protection is over. The funding of the present study necessitate the vaccination of calves at 2 months of their age.

Publisher: 1989Dissertation note: The occurrence of salmonellae in a variety of zoo animals including carnivores, primates, ruminants, avifauna, rodents etc was investigated.
The faeoal samples of 500 wild animals and birds examined yielded 9 strains of salmonella, giving an incidence of 1.8%. Of these '7 strains from pigeons and rabbits were confirmed as Salmonella ty-phimuriuni and 2 strains from pheasants were confirmed as Salmonella pullorum. The relative percentage of each species was found to be 1.4% and 0.4% respectively. Salmonella typhimurium have a vex wide host range including human being. It Is therefore recommended to adopt proper hygienic measures at Lahore Zoo. Further work on a much large scale is recommended.

Publisher: 1984Dissertation note: Staphylococcus aureus being an umbiquitous potential pathogen of man and animal, can contaminate the milk by either of the two sources. The present study was designed to find the source of origin of the isolated strains on the basis of their haemolytic behaviour. Thus, from 200 raw market milk samples Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from 179 samples. Out of these 179 strains 100 were randomly selected for the study of their haemolytic pattern on sheep bloc4and rabbit blood agar plates incubated aerobically.
It was found that 27 strains were Alpha-haemolytic, 46 were beta-haemolytic whereas 27 strains showed a mixed behaviour of alpha-beta type. It was concluded that both man and animal were the source of contamination of milk, the percentage of animal strains being higher than the human.
The Standard Plate Count showed that out of 200 samples 90 (45%) had a count of grade B raw milk, while 110 samples (55%) had a bacterial count of grade C raw milk. 126 (63%) samples out of 200 had a Coliform count of more than 10, while 74 samples (37%) had a count of less than 10 coliforms per ml of raw market milk tested. There was a positive correlation between high bacterial count and the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in milk.

Publisher: 1984Dissertation note: Three species of birds i.e. doves, parrots and quails, 100 from each species were studied to investigate their role in the epizootiology of Newcastle disease. The serum of each bird was examined for the presence of antibodies to Newcastle disease virus by Haemagglutination Inhibition method using a standard Newcastle disease virus obtained from Veterinary & Research Institute, Lahore. It was observed that 46% of parrots, 29% of doves and 7% of quails had experienced Newcastle disease. The average titre for three species of birds was 76 with a range of 20-1280, being highest in parrots and lowest in quails. Attempts were made to isolate Newcastle disease virus from the faecal material and pooled organs of each bird in developing chick embryo. Five isolates of Newcastle disease virus were recovered from parrots, two from doves and none from quails. The recovered isolates possessed a mild to moderate pathogenicity for day old chicks. From these trials it was evident that doves and parrot could act as carriers of Newcastle disease and disseminate the disease to other birds over vast areas while despite their susceptibility the exact role of quails could not be determined in the epizootio- logy of Newcastle disease. Further studies on larger scale were recommended.

Publisher: 1987Dissertation note: Health of human population alongwith animals is always at risk when Salmonella shedding carriers are present. The modern trend of Farm industry makes it more important to look out for the carriers and treat them to save the other animals and man from Salmonellosis.
The present work Was under-taken to determine the Salmonella carrier state in healthy buffaloes, in an attempt to understand the epidemiological role played by these animals in the transmission of Salmonella infection to other animals and man.
The faecal samples. were collected from 1000 animals. A series of enrichment, selective and differential media, biochemical& 6ro1ogy teste were used for isolation,iden- tification and serotyping of Sa.iionella from the faecal specimens.
It was observed that 18 animals out of 1000(1.8%)were carrier of Salmonella.
Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from 12 cases while Slamonella butantan was isolated from 6 cases. Occurrence of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella butantan are important from Veterinary Public Health point of view.

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: Rabies, is invariably a fatal viral infection of Central Nervous System effecting almost all species of warm blooded animals and man. The disease is causing considerable loss of human and animal life in the country. Sporadic cases of rabies occurred throughout the year, but during the Spring and fall the disease assumes an epidemic form. How the disease perpetuates in nature is not yet clearly understood as mortality rate is almost 100% in affected animals. Some references were available in the literature regarding the possibility of existence of survivors and carriers of' rabies in different animal species.
In order to understand the epidemiology of disease an attempt was made, in the present work, to look for the possibilities of existance of carriers among dog population in the city.
A total of 214 apparently healthy domestic dogs together with 100 stray dogs were tested for the presence of rabies antigen in the salivary gland and brain by Fluorescent antibody test. In case of stray dog rabies antigen was detected in 5 animals including 2% animals secreting virus in salivary gland and 3% animals with antigen both in salivary gland and brain, while in case of domestic do6 animals showed rabies antigen in saliva and 4 animals both in saliva and brains.
Simultaneously 48 cases suspected for rabies including 3 carcases, one cat two dogs and one human brain were also examined for rabies antigen and 50% cases were found positive.
The presence of rabies antigen in the saliva of 2 stray dogs and 2 domestic dogs was highly significant of the carrier role of dogs in rabies. Further work on much larger scale were recommended.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Present study was designed to work out effect of different storage temperatures, and storage periods on pathogenicity of UPS virus. Observations on demonstration of inmiunosuppresive effect of UPS virus and its antigenic relationship with viruses producing similar type of problems in meat type chickens, were also made. Results of this study have shown no significant difference in virulence upto six weeks of storage at the given temperatures. Disease induction was done in relatively younger birds. Histopathological study of different organs from morbid birds showed changes similar to those reported by other workers.
Immunosuppressive effect of HPSV was demonstrable by low titers of antibodies against NDV and UPS. Indirect haemagglutination test with sensitized human "0" positive erythrocytes for detection of antibodies against HPSV worked effectively. The test is expected to become more sensitive with use of more purified antigen. Sheep RBCs sensitized without use of chromium chloride did not work in IHA test. Slight antIgenic similarity between HPSV and IBD virus iàs demonstrable in Agar gel diffusion test.

levels had higher body weight than the monensin treated, cyclophosphamide treated or untreated control birds.
Both salinomycin and monensin treatments did not adversely affect the weights of bursa of Fabricius, spleen, thymus, and livers of birds. Cyclophosphamide treatment of birds in early life resulted in bursal atrophy and slight depression of splenic weight gain.
As compared to cyclophosphamide treated and non-medicated control birds, the sera of NDV vaccinated birds fed salinomycin/monensin had higher antibody titers on day 42. The post-challenge sera of NDV vaccinated birds fed salinomycin, and monensin also had higher antibody titer as compared to NDV vaccinated cyclophosphamide treated birds. The NDV vaccinated birds on salinomycin or monensin medicated rations and those on non-medicated rations did not have any post virulent NDV challenge mortality.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: This research work was undertaken to assess the importance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a poultry pathogen. For this purpose 4000 samples comprised of spoiled eggs 1000, dead in shell chicks 1000, chicks dying during first week 1000, subsequent deaths 1000, were prodessed.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from 302 birds giving a percentage of 15.1. While examining spoiled hatching eggs Pseudomonas aeruginosa was revealed in 131 eggs giving a percentage of 13.1 and from 134 dead in shell chicks giving a percentage of 13.4.
The agewise incidence of Peudoinonas aeruginosp infection was zero percent in day old chicks, 25.6 percent in one week old, 24.84 percent in 2 weeks old, 12.69 percent in 3 weeks old, 11.76 percent in 8 weeks and 7.46 in 9 weeks, 7.69 percent in 11 weeks old and 9.32 percent in 12 weeks old and no incidence was observed in chicks of less than one week and in chicks beyond 12 weeks of age.
Pathogenicity of the isolate was studied in one day old chicks and 10 days old developing chick embryos. Twenty six out of 30 chicks died within one to 7 days whereas all the embryos died within 24 hours to 48 hours post-inoculation. The post-mortem examination in dead chicks showed haemorrhagic oedema at the site of inoculation and in dead embryos generalized congestion below the skin. Pseudonionas aeruginosa was re-isolated from heart blood and liver of these chicks and from yolk and chorioallantoic fluid of the embryos.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Clostridial organisms are a part of the normal flora of animal intestine. Under conditions of stress and intestinal stasis bacteria multiply at a very rapid rate and produce intestinal disorders and other acute septicaemic diseases which may result in high mortality and condemnation of carcass and abortion and loss of milk yield in less severe cases.
Faecal samples of 500 sheep of various ages and both sexes, slaughtered at different abattoirs of Lahore were examined during the present study. Clostridial organisms belonging to different species were isolated from 320(64%) ou,t of 500 animals examined. Based upon morphological, colonial and biochemical characteristics these isolates were identified as Clostridium perfrinens 180(36%), Clostridium apcroenes 113(22.6%), Clostridium tetani 10(2%), Clostridium chauvoei 9(1.8%) and Clostridium botulinum 8(1.6%).
Pathogenicity of the isolates was determined in mice and it was observed that 36.25% of the isolates were pathogenic in this species producing acute septicaemic diseases. Out of the different species isolated 11.11% Clostridium chauvoei, 58.33% Clostridiuin prfrinens and 100% Clostridluin tetani were found pathogenic. Pure cultures of isolated organisms were obtained from the livers, tissues and blood of the inoculated mice.
Clostridia are an important group of pathogenic bacteria of veterinary public health significance, further work is recommended for the identification of the toxigenic groups within each species.

Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: A study was undertaken to isolate and characterize Newcastle Disease Virus Strains involved in field outbreaks.
A total of 1000 diseased/dead birds ( broilers, layers arid non-discript birds ) were examined for this purpose. The isolation of the virus was attempted from composite samples comprising lungs, liver, spleen, brain and proventriculus of the suspected birds, which was inoculated in embryonated eggs through allontoic cavity route. Out of the total birds examined only 6(0.06%) yielded ND Virus. All the strains present in allontoic fluid gave a positive reaction to spot haemagglutination test, on fowl RBCs. The isolates were confirmed as Newcastle disease pathogen through a positive reaction to haemagglutination inhibition test conducted with known positive sera against Newcastle disease.
Various value values obtained for mean death time (MDT) were 48, 60, 70, 72, 48 and 62 hours for isolates.

Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: In this study, the decay rate of maternal antibodies to infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) protective efficacy of maternal antibodies to experimental IBDV challenge and the protective efficacy of a live IBD virus vaccine (Bursine 11) to I8DV experimental challenge were studied. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent 1ssay (ELISP) was standardized and performed to analyze the serum samples.
The level of maternal antibodies to (IBDV) was found to be positive till the fourth week of age. The line of best fit to this decay rate within the study period was found to be Y=0.43-O.O53 (week) and has the coefficient of determi- nation 0.904. The positive level of maternal antibodies after second week of age were found insufficient to protect broiler chicks against the IBDV challenge. Maximum mortality (207.) was observed after experimental IBDV challenge at 35 days of age in broiler chicks. This suggested that the offsprings need to be vaccinated with the live IBD virus vaccine before that age.
The maternal antibodies were demonstrated to interfere with the live vaccination.
vaccination. Live virus at 14 days of age were found to be protective and a booster with the same vaccine in the fifth week of age prevented the chicks from infection.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: This study indicated that Amprolium and Clopidol (Coyden 25) when used at recommended dosage levels (6.25 gm of pure drug/50 kg of feed & 25 gin of premix/50 kg of feed respectively) did not interfere with the body weight gain of birds; did not have adverse effects on weights of lymphoid organs such as bursa of Fabricius, spleen, thymus, liver; did not interfere with the development of serum antibody in vaccinated or vaccinated and challenged birds; their medication in feed had beneficial effects on serum antibody development; did not result in higher post-challenge mortality of vaccinated birds as compared to the non-medicated vaccinated control birds. The injection to baby chicks on first 4 consecutive post-hatching days with a known immunosuppressive agent (Cyclophosphamide) resulted in lower body weights, destruction of the bursa of Fabricius, poor antibody response of birds to vaccination against NDV, and very high post-challenge mortality, upon challenge with a virulent strain of NDV.
The weight gain studies indicated that vaccinated and non-vaccinated birds on Amprolium and Clopidol medicated feeds had non-significantly higher body wegh ts that those on non-mothcateii ration at 42 days of age. Oopiclo) (Coyden 25), at recommended dosage level, had more beneficial effects on the body weights than the Amprolium. These studies further indicated that vaccinated birds kept on Clopidol medicated feed had significantly higher serum antibody titres on day 42 than the vaccinated non-medicated control birds. The serum antibody titres of vaccinated birds on Clopidol medicated feed were significantly higher than those fed Amprolium at recommended dosage levels. From the results of this study it is concluded that Clopidol and Amprolium are not immunosuppressive drugs when used at recommended dosage levels. They rather have beneficial effects on growth 1)erforr1arIce and immune response of birds. However, there is a need for further investigations.

Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: Leptospirosis is an infectious disease of domestic animals and man. In dairy animals leptospiral infection may produce reproductive disorders, abortion, repeat breeding, mastitis and infertility. Etiological agent has more than 180 distinct pathogenic serovars which can be classified into 18 serogroups.
On the basis of serological evidence of leptospirosis, a study was carried out to find the incidence, magnitude and serological distribution of leptospira interrogans in Sargodha division. Out of 713 total serum samples, 301, 157, 147 and 108 were collected from Sargodha, Khushab, Bhakkar and Mianwali districts respectively. These serum samples were of aborted, mastitis infected, healthy pregnant and non pregnant, sterile, repeat breeding and male (service, plough and traction) buffaloes. All the samples were subjected to Rapid Macroscopic Agglutination Test (RMAT). This test was performed both for initial screening and for the identification of leptospiral serovars of positive animals against eleven antigens used.
So it is necessary to control the veneral disease in dairy animals as the evidence suggests that the disease may cause great economic losses to the livestock.

Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: The present study was conducted to find out the prevalence of rinderpest and bovine viral diarrhea virus antibodies in the sera of sheep and goats. For this purpose, 1000 serum samples were randomly collected from four different sources. The samples were distributed uniformly from each species i,e.. sheep and goats from all the four sources. Agar gel-immunodiffusion (PGID) test was employed for the investigations.
The results of the study revealed that overall 4.2% sheep sera were having rinderpest viurs antibodies while 1.6% sheep sera were possessing antibodies to bovine viral diarrhea virus. Goat sera tested demonstrated that 2.4% were having rinderpest virus antibodies whereas only 1.0% were possessing antibodies against bovine viral diarrhea virus. It is observed that there is higher prevalence rate of rinderpest virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus antibodies in sheep as compared to goats.
The findings of this project revealed a moderate exposure, of sheep and goat population surveyed, to the pathogens of both the diseases. However further research is suggested for realistic determination of the role of sheep and goats in epidemiology of these menaces and the resultant revival of the control measures..
