Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: Ticks transmit diseases like piroplasmosis, theileria3is and anaplasmosis in livestock. They are responsible for great economic losses in terms of general unthriftiness, loss of condition and also damage to hides and skins. Pakistan being a tropical country provides optimal conditions for growth and multiplication of ticks. Despite this abundance in prevalence little systematic work was done to investigate the prevalence, taxonony and bionomics of species of genus Haemaplxysalis.
During this study numerous ticks from sheep, goat, cattle and buffaloes each were collected from Lahore and Sheikhupura districts. One species of genus Haemaphysalis i.e. Haemaphysalis brunati was recorded. Other species of same genus did not occur in these districts. This species was recorded from Lahore only. The percent incidence was 5.87%.
During the bionomical study various aspects like seasonal and regional abundance, life cycle, effect of temperature and humidity were studied. It was concluded that in one year three generations of Haemaphysalis bnmati occured in Lahore district . The ticks appeared on livestock in Narch and gradually increased during following months and reached its peak level in June. Then the population graph fell, until in last week of September when a minor peak was recorded. Subsequently the infestation receded considerably amongs livestock during October and was lowest in the end of November. No incidences were recorded from early December through late February.
During the morphological studies of Haemapltysalis brunati measurements of various parts of body were recorded and it was noticed that the measuremeni vary slightly in the species occuring in Lahore
The breeding habits and life cycle of Haemaphysalis brunati were studied under natural conditions and it was observed that the ticks mostly started depositing egg 19 days after dropping in spring, 18 days after dropping in summer and 7 days after dropping in autumn.
The oviposition period under natural conditions was found to be 12 days in spring, 11 days in summer and 11 days in autumn.
The average number of eggs laid by a single female tick in different seasons was not constant. In spring season average number of eggs deposited by single female tick was 3819 in summer 2786 and in autumn 2514. The eggs were oval in shape and measured 0.470 x 0.420 mm in size and weighed 0.041 mg on average. The incubation period of ova was found to vary in different seasons. In spring it was 20 days, 16 days in summer and 15 days in autumn.
The larvae survived without food and water for 56 days in spring. The larvae fully engorged in 9 days during spring, 7 days in summer and 6 days in autumn. The weight of unfed larvae was found to be 0.375 mg. and engorged larvae from 0.166 nlg. The total amount of blood sucked was estimated to be 0.129 mg. The fully engorged larvae moulted in 16 days during spring, II days during summer and 10 days during autumn. The newly moulted unfed txymph lived for 65 days in spring. The nymph engorged in 7 days during spring, in 6 days during summer and autumn. The weight of unfed nymph was found to be 0.114 mg and that of. engorged nymph was found to be 1.094 mg. The nymph moulted in 17 days during spring and in 9 days during summer and autumn.
The newly moulted female engorged within 9 days in spring, 8 days in summer and 4 days in autumn. The weight of unfed female was 1.695 mg and of engorged female 210.0 mg. The amount of blood sucked by a single female tick was estimated to be 208.36 mg. Amount of blood sucked by a single female during her entire life span was found to be 221.549 mg.
Influence of temperature and humidity on rate of development of Haemapbysalis brunati on preoviposition period, oviposition period, number of eggs laid, incubation period and peientage of hatchability were studied and it was observed that constant temperature and varying humidities had no significant effect on the said parameters whereas constant humidity and varying temperatures had a significant effect on the rate of development, preoviposition period, oviposition period, number of eggs laid, incubation period and percentage of hatchahility.

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: Trypanosomiasis in camels caused by Trypanosoma evansi results in great economic losses if not treated properly. The present study had been designed to find out the prevalence and treatment of Trypanosoma evansi infection by using Naganol (sayer) and Trypacide (M & B) in camels in District Layyah. The effects of the infection and drugs on differential leukolyte count (DLC), Haemoglobin (HB) Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Erythrocytic Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Total Serum protein were also estimated. For this purpose 1000 suspected camels were examined and 75 (7.5%) were found positive for Trypanosoma evansi infection. Out of these, 45 positive cases were randomly divided into 3 equal groups comprising 15 animals each. Two of the groups were served with two different drug trials, and the 3rd group was kept as untreated infected control. While a 4th group of 15 camels was kept as non-infected and untreated control. The results of all the aforesaid blood parameters were recorded just before and on day 21 post-treatment. The data so obtained was analysed and results were made as follows.
Out of 1000 camels, 75 were found to be harbouring the Trypanosoma evansi infection with a pevalence rate being 7.5 percent.
Naganol (Bayer) was found to be 60% Trypanocidal on day 5 and 100% on day 10 and 21 post treatment. Trypacide (M & B) was found to be 53% Trypanocidal on day 5 and 80% on day 10 and 21 post treatment.
There was marked Neutropenia with lymphocytosis before the treatment in infected versus non infected ones. The average values of Neutrophils were 38+0.62, 39±0.02, 36±0.47 and 52j0.48 in the 4 groups respectively. But on day 21 after treatment, the number of neutrophils increased in group Nos. I and II with n average of 51±0.33 and 49±1.41 while the group No. Ill and IV revealed no difference in their count. The mean values of lymphocytes prior to and after the treatment were 51±0.33, 52±0.71, 56±0.46 and 41±0.36, 42±0.40, 45.3±1.09, 56±0.46 and 39±0.23 respectively. There was 41 .66% increase in Eosinophils of group I, II and Ill before the treatment, the average being 7±0.22, 50.48 and 5±0.48 respectively, while the group No. IV possessed 4+0.19% neutrophils. The Eosinophilia tended to become normal with 33.33% decrease, average being 4+0.40 and 3+0.45 in group No. I and II respectively on day 21 post treatment; while the neutrophils count remained nearly the same in group No Ill and IV average being 6+0.24 and 4+0.19 respectively on day 21 post treatment.
The Basophils and Monocytes Count remained unchanged before and after the treatment in all the 4 groups.
Haemoglobin(Hb) and Packed Cell Viume (PCV) showed decrease on day 0, but Erythrocytic Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Total Serum Protein were increased on day 0 in case of positive camels. On day 21 post treatment with Naganol (Bayer) and Trypacide (M & B), Haemoglobin (HB) and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) were increased in group Nos I and II. Whereas Erythrocytic Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Total Serum Protein level were decreased on day 21 post treatment in the same groups. On the other hand the values remained unchanged in group No. IV. (Noninfected, untreated control).

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Ancylostomes (Hookworms) in dogs, taxonomy of the species of the Genus Ancylostoina and their effects on various blood parameters of the infected canines.
For above purpose, samples were collected from dog hospital, College of Veterinary Sciences and different pet clinics in the city.
Faecal and blood samples were stored in the refrigerator, of Parasitology Laboratory.
Only those dogs which had high prevalerit in Ancylostomes were examined by different faecal examination methods, were selected to get mature ancylostomes, after killing the dogs. Preservation and staining of Ancylostimes was carried out by adopting the prescribed methods. The taxonomy of the species of the genus Ancylostoma was studied with the help of keys.
The collective over all prevalence of different types of Ancylostomes recorded in stray and pet dogs was 28%.
The species of Ancylostomes identified in our area were: Ancylostoina Caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma duodene1e.
The percentage of the above mentioned species were 100%, 33% and 2.5% respectively. Blood of infected dogs were exposed to various haematological studies including Hb estimation, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total serum protien level (TSP) and differential leukocyte count (DLC).
liaematological examinations were made to compare the blood picture of healthy and infected dogs. For this purpose 20 blood samples each from healthy and infected dogs were examined.
The results of haematological examination showed a significant decrease in haemoglobin estimation total erythrocyte count, packed cell volume and total serum protien level, whereas a significant increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and differential leukocyte counts, like neutrophils, eosinophils and very little increase in basophils were also seen.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Taxonomic arid therapeutic studies of natural and experimental coccidiosis in commercial quails were undertaken. Total 500 gut samples were examined microscopically to study the incidence of cocoidiosis, which was recorded as 69%. By making taxonoinical study based on size, morphological characteristics, sporulfttion, time and post-mortem lesions it was concluded that the causal coocidia was L bateri. Average size of the oocyst recorded was 21.42 u x 14.28 u while sporulation time recorded was 24 hours at 27°C. The cocysts were double walled and 1.2 u in thickness. Oocysts production per grain of faeces in natural infection ranged between 31-350 oocysts. While average number of oocysts per gram of faeces recorded was 220.
To study effects of ESB3 and Darvisul AK plus on experimental infection one hundred and sixty day old quail chicks were reared upto 3 weeks of age in coccidia free environment. They were then randomly divided into four groups A, B, C and D. Comprising of 40 birds each these groups were sub-divided into four replicates each comprising of 10 birds. Birds of group B, C and D were infected with ml of coccidial inoculum having 50,000 sporulated oocysts given directly into crop. On fourth day post infection birds of' all infected groups showed disease symptoms and at that time groups C and 0 were treated with darvisul AK plus and ESB3 respectively while group B was kept as infected and un-medicated group. At the end of experimental period in 6th week maximum weight was gained by group "A" and minimum by group "B" Group 0 which was treated with ESB3 gained less weight than group C which was treated with Darvisul AK plus.
Best feed conversion ratio was seen in group A and among the medicated groups group 0 revealed better feed conversion ratio than group C, while group B showed the worst feed conversion ratio.
Highest mortality of 40% was recorded in group B, 10% in group C and least in group D i.e. 2.5%.
From the findings of the study it was concluded that our commercial quail is suffering from coccidiosis caused by E. bateri and ESB3 is an affective remedy for this disease. However it is suggested that more work to elucidate the effects of ESB3 with additional vitamins A and K be carried out.

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of anticoccidial drug coxeva (a mixture of 80% sulphadimidine and 8% diaveridine) and its effects on body weight, growth rate and feed convertion ratio were studied. For this purpose 120 day old broiler chicks were reared upto the age of 4 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks the birds were randomly divided into four groups A, B, C, and D, each group containing 30 chicks. The birds of each group were weighed. The group B, C and D were infected with 50,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. While the group A was left uninfected and kept as control on the 6th day after the appearance of clinical symptoms of caccal coccidiosis, the group C and D were medicated with coxeva (the group C for five continuous days and group D for three days on 2 days off three days on), the group B was left as infected control. The daily oocysts count per gram of faeces were taken upto the end of experiment which was zero in group C on 10th day and in group D on 13th day the oocysts were at their peak (5,20,000) on 15th day of inoculation. The body weight was recorded at the end of each week throughout the experiment which showed significant difference in group B and group A, C and D . The feed consumed by each group was recorded on daily basis and growth rate was recorded at the end of each week. The analysis of variance revealed significant difference in feed consumption and growth rate in group B and other groups. The feed conversion ratio was recorded for each group at the end of each week which showed non significant difference among group A, B, C and D. The drug was also evaluated for its modes of administration (continuousand intermittent) and found no significant difference in both modesof administration. The mortaility was recorded which was five birds (16%) in group B. The drug proved hundred percent effective against caecal cocidiosis in broiler chicks.
