Approaches to mosquito management can be direct or indirect. Direct interventions include the removal of breeding habitat, use of biological controls or the application of pesticides. Indirect approaches reduce human-mosquito conflict, for example utilizing planning mechanisms and educating the public to avoid mosquitoes. Another important indirect approach is for mosquito managers are actively link and collaborate with other departments/authorities to minimize the potential for mosquito breeding.

{"title":"Review on Composition, Nutritional and Medicinal Value of Camel","authors":"Zerihun Nigussie","doi":"10.58489/2836-3604/008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58489/2836-3604/008","url":null,"abstract":"The camels are the most dominant and widely distributed animal in tropical and subtropical continents of Africa and Asia. They make an important contribution to human survival and utilization of these dry and arid lands. The objective of this review is to describe the general compositions of camel milk and its nutritive and medicinal values. Camels are an important source of milk, meat, hides, wool and serve as a source of prestige for their owners. Camel’s products like milk, meat and urine has nutritional value as well as therapeutic for different human diseases especially in the pastoral communities. Milk is the lacteal secretion of mammary gland of mammals. As it is well known, milk is the first natural food of young mammals during the period immediately after birth. Camel milk is one of the most valuable food resources in the nomadic society and has high nutritive and therapeutic values, due to its essential elements like minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and protective proteins such as, lactoferrin, lacto peroxidase, lysozme, peptidoglycan recognition protein and immunoglobulins. Camel milk contains disease-fighting immunoglobulins, which are small in size, allowing penetration of antigens and boosting the effectiveness of the immune system. Camel milk has a medicinal properties suggesting that, this milk contains protective proteins, which may have a possible role for enhancing immune defense mechanism. Due to its protective proteins and other components, camel’s milk is important for the treatment of diseases like, dropsy, jaundice, spleen ailment, tuberculosis, asthma, anemia, autoimmune diseases (autism), constipation, crohn’s diseases, and liver cirrhosis also serve as beauty products. Pastoralists have indigenous knowledge in treating their animals and themselves using milk. Because they are living at periphery and remote area where social services are in scarce or even absence and therefore, they depends on traditional medicines. Camel milk is among the items used as traditional medicine in pastoral communities. Generally, Camel milk is extremely nutritious and safe for consumption and has a high therapeutic value, so experimental researches should be conducted specially on the medicinal value of camel milk.","PeriodicalId":206054,"journal":{"name":"Covid Research and Treatment","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129470135","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}

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2019 to march2020 in and around kersa distinct south west Ethiopia. With the objectives of determining the prevalence and assessing the possible risk factors of lungworm infection in equine. A total of 384 faecal samples from equine species (124 donkeys, 200 horses, 60 mules) were collected and examined for the presence of eggs of parasites using modified Bearmann technique. Out of these, 384(53.1%) equines were found positive for lung worm. The prevalence of lung worm in donkeys, horses, and mules was64.5 %, 49.0%, and43.3% respectively with statistical significant variation (x2 =10.14, P = 0.006). Age of equines was found to have a significant association with the prevalence of Dictyocaulus arnfieldi infection (P<0.05), the prevalence to being in age of greater in young animal. Assessment of the two body condition scores with their prevalence revealed a significant variation, the prevalence was very high in poor body condition groups (x2 =299.99, P = 0.000). However, there was no statistically significant (p>0.05) between the occurrence of equine lungworm and the factors sex. It is concluded that prevalence of equine lungworm in the study area associated with young and emaciated equines were more affected by the lung worm infection. Therefore, Due attention needs to be given to equine health services by district veterinary services office so that equines are handled well in order to earn their maximum potential benefits and grazing management and regular strategic deworming of the whole herd with anthelminthic rather than treating infested individuals is recommended.","PeriodicalId":206054,"journal":{"name":"Covid Research and Treatment","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114409150","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 most common trypanosome species that affects cattle in Ethiopia are T. congolense. T. vivax and T. brucei. Therefore, A cross sectional study was conducted from November 2019 to December 2020 to determine the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis Nono district of Western Shewa zone, Ethiopia. The study district was purposively selected and PAs were randomly selected to take sample for the study. For the prevalence study, dark phase contrast buffy coat examination and Giemsa stained thin blood smears were used and Chi- Square test was used to analysis the results. Out of a total of 384 randomly selected and examined cattle, an overall prevalence of 5.5% was recorded. Highest prevalence was recorded in Nano Halo 8(6.7%) followed by Biftu Jalala 6(5.5%) and Halo Dinki 7(4.5%) peasant associations. This study showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in trypanosomiasis infection rate among peasant associations and there was significant association between risk factors like age(X2= 6.97, P= 0.008), sex (X2= 5.38, P= 0.02), body condition (X2 = 6.09, P= 0.048) and PCV values (X2= 18.47, P= 0.000) of examined cattle.

Methods: This study gathered opinions, feedback, and levels of comfort regarding in-person participation from Patient Advisors at a healthcare system located in Detroit, Michigan. The final version of the survey consisted of 13 questions prompting Patient Advisors to discuss comfort levels, protocols, and feelings around returning to in-person meetings after more than a year of meeting virtually. Results: A total of 68 Patient Advisors completed the survey. Most Patient Advisors felt that positively about meeting in-person (i.e., 55% felt ‘happy’ vs. 4% felt ‘scared’), believed only those unvaccinated should wear masks (n=26), and 86.6%, believed that there should always be a virtual participation option moving forward. Moreover, Patient Advisors wanted to be asked about their vaccination status before a meeting (n=66) and 86.6% endorsed being comfortable and willing to share their vaccination status. Qualitative analysis of two free-text response questions revealed Patient Advisors felt appreciated that their input was requested and wanted autonomy when considering in-person meetings. Conclusion: Findings were used to create the Patient Engaged Research Center’s In-Person Participation Action Plan and indicate the need to include patient voice in outcomes that directly impact them and their well-being.","PeriodicalId":206054,"journal":{"name":"Covid Research and Treatment","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121182023","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}

Methods: The research was conducted between April 2022 and August 2022. Data were collected from four dialysis centers in a city center. A total of 503 people receive hemodialysis treatment in the centers where the study was conducted. The sample consisted of 170 patients who volunteered to participate in the study and met the study criteria. The data of the study were collected using patient information form, and VAS Pain (Pain Level Measurement and Pain Coping Scale (PCS). Results: Accordingly, the VAS pain score experienced by the patients during the Covid 19 pandemic process is 7.64±0.97. The mean scores of the PCQ sub-dimensions; 27.1±8.96 in the self-coping sub-dimension; 19.86±4.83 in the helplessness sub-dimension; 9.77±5.24 in the sub-dimension of conscious cognitive interventions; It was found to be 18.84±4.22 in the sub-dimension of seeking medical help. In the case of VAS and PCQ total points averages, according to the pain characteristics of individuals, the severity of the pain, the pain type, the pain type the difference between the time and the scale point averages according to the methods of dealing with pain was statistically significant (p<0.05). It has been found that the average of VAS and PCQ total points for individuals who suffer unbearable, have chest pain, define sudden and sharp pain, and experience pain all day long. In individuals who are waiting for the pain to be rested and spontaneous, VAS points averages and those who practice breathing exercises have been found to have significantly higher PCQ total score average. Conclusions: Most of the patients who participated in our study described the pain they experienced during the pandemic process suddenly and sharply, and the mean scores of VAS pain and PCQ were found to be significantly higher in this patient group. It has been determined that pain is experienced mostly at night and analgesics are mostly used to cope with it.","PeriodicalId":206054,"journal":{"name":"Covid Research and Treatment","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122832410","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}
