These are: Olorunda LGA (Ilie communities) of Osun Central Senatorial District, Ife North LGA (Akinladu community) of Osun East Senatorial District and Ejigbo (Ifeodan community) of Osun West Senatorial district. A total of 967 human blood samples and 931 mosquitoes were collected during the survey in 3 LGAs (Sentinel sites). Blood samples were collected according to WHO prescribed protocol. Thick film method was used for the examination of the mocrofileria. The parasitological result showed microfilaria (mf) prevalence (%) of 1.2 % (Ife North LGA), 1.6% (Olorunda LGA) & 1.6% (Ejigbo LGA). Pyrethrum spray sheet methods was used for collection of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were identifies and were dissected for prevalent of Wuchereria bancrofti larval stages. The entomological result revealed that out of 931 mosquitoes collected, 725 (77.9%) were Anopheles species, 201 (21.6%) were Culex quinquefasciatus while 10(1.1%) were Mansonia Africana and their prevalence of evections were 17(2.4%), 4(1.9%) and 0(0.0%). Treatment for Onchocerciasis has been ongoing in the past 16 year in Ife north and Olorunda LGAs and 7 years in Ejigbo LGA. The results from the survey have shown that despite the number of years of treatment with ivermectin, LF transmission is ongoing in all endemic LGAs of Osun State. The big challenge of the State health workers is inadequate resources (human, materials & transport) to effectively scale-up treatment in the State. Therefore, it is recommended that the Osun State Ministry of Health collaborates with the relevant Stakeholders to ensure availability of adequate logistics to upscale LF treatment in the State.","PeriodicalId":17430,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Advances","volume":"93 1","pages":"1282-1290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80286263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to evaluate serial measurements of selected biomarkers in both serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) in donkeys underwent experimental intestinal obstruction owing to early detection of intestinal. For this purpose, four apparently healthy male donkeys (Equus asinus) were randomly purchased based on their health condition and were thoroughly examined to rule out concurrent or even previous ailments. Following a standard pre-surgical and surgical precautions, these animals were subjected to intestinal ischemia via complete ligation of ileum and its mesentery. The animals were clinically and ultrasonographically monitored for 72 hours. Paired samples of blood and PF were collected from each animal before surgery (T0) and following surgical intervention at the following time points: T12, T24, T48 and T72 to measure the respective levels of L-lactate, nitric oxide (NO), total alkaline phosphatase (TAP), lipase and cardiac troponin I (CTnI). The results herein demonstrated that the pattern of both PF and blood lactate were significantly higher at T72 than those at other time points (P< 0.05).

The results implicated that Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common bacterial pathogens isolated from both healthy and diseased animals. Hematological parameters showed a significant decrease in red cell parameters and a significant increase in total leukocytic counts in the diseased group. Significant decreases were observed in serum concentrations of albumin, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, sodium and chloride, whereas a significant increase were seen in serum levels of total protein, globulin, urea, creatinine, potassium and activities of hepatic enzymes. There was a significant decrease in blood pH and Po2 and a significant increase in Pco2 and bicarbonate levels in the pneumonic animals. The main histopathological alterations included chronic bronchitis, lung fibrosis and interstitial pneumonia. We can conclude that Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus appeared to be the main bacterial causes of pneumonia in camel.

The phytochemical study of Leptadenia hastata leaf was also determined and this revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, anthraquinones, phlobatannins, saponins, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, carbohydrates and terpenoids. The uterus of seven adult intact/non-pregnant virgin female rats were isolated and the effect of the extract on rat uterus was studied and measured on a kymograph. Uterine contractile activity was demonstrated by different doses of the extract. The results also show that the extract increases the length of uterine segments. It was thus concluded that the aqueous leaf extract of Leptadenia hastata has uterotonic principles which could be responsible for the oxytocic effects on the uterus and could therefore be used as an ecbolic.
