Brucellosis is endemic in Eritrea, howeverthe prevalence rate, knowledge and practice of brucellosis among the livestock owners in the study area is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine theprevalence of brucellosis in livestock owners and evaluate the level of knowledge and practice of the community in Northern Red Sea region, Eritrea. Methods: Community-based cross sectional study, where a total of 29 villages 637 households and 22 livestock owners from each village were sampled for blood and data collection. Blood samples were tested using RBPTand positives samples further confirmed using c-ELISA. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Results: A total of 637 respondents were enrolled in the study. Study participants were dominated by males (74.9%), Tigre ethnic (73%) and farmers (70.5%). The overall sero-prevalence of brucellosis in the study area was2.4% with the highest rate in Ghindae (3.9%). The comprehensive knowledge and practice was 58.4% and 10.5%, respectively.Comprehensive knowledge showed significant association with sub-region and age, while good practice indicated significant association with Age (P=0.000). Sub-region Ghindae indicated odds (OR)of 3.27 (P=0.001) for comprehensive knowledge and odds of (OR)3.12 (P=0.000) for good practice. Age group of ≥60 years shown odds of 4.40 (P=0.000) for compressive knowledge. Conclusion: The overall sero-prevalence of brucellosis in livestock owners in the study area was low, but considerable higher in some spot areas.

This paper aims to compile and review data available in the scientific literature on the types of pollutants for a better understanding of their generation form, their distribution according to the kind of animal, and the main factors affecting their generation and concentration, i.e., the rearing system, the indoor microclimate, and the manure management. The elevated generation of pollutants in animal buildings is tied to the dense occupancy in this industrial activity. The indoor air quality is defined according to the type of livestock in animal housing, considering its welfare needs, and the types and concentrations of pollutants generated as a function of the family of animal and the management used in production. The main gases generated are CH4, CO2, H2S, NH3, N2O, in addition to particulate matter and airborne microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria that very negatively affect the health of animals and users of the animal buildings. Furthermore, knowledge about the main contaminants generated, the form of generation, their origin, their concentrations, and their distribution throughout the shed is essential to achieve a permanent and adequate indoor air quality and, with that, a high-quality product that will lead to high production yield without neglecting animal welfare.","PeriodicalId":319653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Health Science","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115466290","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}

In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying the vascular and myocardial protective effects of r-hirudin in AS rats through animal experiments. A rat AS model was established by high-fat diet feeding combined with common carotid artery balloon injury. The model rats were given low, medium, or high doses of r-hirudin (0.05, 0.1, or 0.2 mg/kg/ day), simvastatin tablets (1 mg/kg/day) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibitors (SB203580, 100 mg/kg/day) by gavage for 8 weeks. The results showed that in AS rats, r-hirudin significantly alleviated pathological changes in the common carotid artery and myocardial tissue; decreased serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels; increased highdensity lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels; decreased serum oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and endothelin (ET)-1 levels; increased nitric oxide (NO) levels; and decreased p38 MAPK, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), caspase-9, caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression. This study showed that r-hirudin may protect blood vessels and the myocardium in AS rats by adjusting blood lipid levels and inhibiting the p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects and protect the vascular endothelium.","PeriodicalId":319653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Health Science","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123611285","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 objective of this study was to investigate the impact of industrialization on the quality of agricultural products and environments in the area of the central rift valley, Ethiopia. The samples of soils, water, and vegetables were randomly collected, processed, and analyzed for heavy metals using microwave plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (MPAES). Also, it examines potential health risks from the consumption of these vegetables. Results The result shown the average concentration gradient of metals in the soil, water, and vegetables (ppm) was Ni<Co< Cd<Pb<Cu<Cr<Zn<Mn<Fe. According to the statistics, Pearson cross-correlation analysis results for the element pairs of CoNi (0.879), Cr-Cu (0.582), Fe-Cr (0.597), Fe-Cu (0.581), Fe-Pb (0.587) and Fe-Cu (0.694) were showed the highest and positive. Metals with the highest positive correlations indicated that the same behavior in the environment, increasing or decreasing together in the environment. The correlations obtained between Cr-Mn, Cr-Zn, Cu-Mn, Cu-Zn, Mn-PB, and Ni-Zn was the moderately highest among the others. The moderately high correlations between these metals indicated that the pollutants possibly shared the same source, whereas the others may have arisen from individual sources in the region. Moreover, the soil concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cr were also high and higher compared with the level of different countries' standards. The average daily intake for Pb(7.79), Fe(2755.38), Zn(55.83) and Cu(639.05) mg/person/day were above the permissible maximum tolerable daily intake of 0.21, 15, 15, 2.0mg/person/day endorsed by WHO/FAO. Hazard quotient of Pb, Fe, Zn, Zn, Mn and Cu as well as the hazard indices of selected vegetables were exceeded unity, signifying presence of health risks from consumption of the vegetables. Conclusion Based on the results of this study, heavy metals had a significant health risk (both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic) effects to the consumer associated with the consumption of these vegetables grown within the study area. Consequently, we recommend a strict regulatory control on the safety of vegetables originated from the study area and food chain.","PeriodicalId":319653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Health Science","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115182367","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}

Research survey of students was adopted. Sample size of 151 made up of students from selected departments at UHAS participated in the study. Data from the questionnaire was analyzed using frequency counts and percentages by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS (version 22). Five areas of service delivery namely: library, ICT, health, transportation, and hostel services were considered in the study. A number of significant findings were made from the study. The results revealed that majority of the students indicated dissatisfaction with health, transport as well as Information and communication Technology services (ICT), while others showed little level of satisfaction with library and hostel services. Again, it was revealed that students' satisfaction with service delivery in terms of library and hostel services significantly differ by other services, while, they show much significant difference in their satisfaction with transport, health and ICT services. It was recommended that the university management should enhance students’ satisfaction by ensuring all services that contribute to academic and social life of students in UHAS are delivered to acceptable and satisfactory standards. Again, it was recommended that the government should provide the necessary financial support or resources to management to meet acceptable standards in service delivery and surveys to assess students’ satisfaction with service delivery should be on regular basis by management to ascertain the satisfaction needs of students.","PeriodicalId":319653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Health Science","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126449872","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}

In the case of sheep, the producer relates consumption to a reduction in the parasite load. The literature has proven the effect of phenolic compounds as an anthelmintic in vivo, but no evidence for cyanogenic compounds, also present in all parts of the cassava plant, was found. A controlled in vitro bioassay was used to evaluate the aqueous extract of fresh cassava leaves. The efficiency parameter was the immobility of Haemonchus contortus larvae at the L3 stage, also used to evaluate commercial anthelmintics. Cell culture plates with 100 active L3-stage larvae per well were used, being each replicate constituted by three wells. Aqueous extract of fresh cassava leaves (FCL), Ivomec® 0.01% (PCI) as the positive control, and distilled water as negative control (NCW), were placed in the culture plate wells. Considering the immobility of the larvae as a positive anthelmintic effect, the results showed that in NCW treatments all larvae were mobile, while in PCI all 300 larvae were immobile. FCL produced a gradient of larval inactivation correlation (R2 0.996). The best-fit equation was y = -33.39ln(x) + 40.517, a logarithmic equation, which allowed the calculation of the Lethal Concentration (CL) of 3.44 µg CN- ml, or 80.0 mg of fresh cassava leaves per milliliter of water, with a performance equivalent to ivermectin. This concentration of free cyanide is compatible with the safe consumption of fresh leaves by live weight of sheep. The exact amount of cassava roots, leaves, or shoots, consumed to provide an effective dose for controlling H. contort should be established in vivo. Although phenolic compounds must also be present in the extract, the immobility was attributed to cyanogenic compounds since the correlation was proportional to the increase in the cyanide concentration. It can be concluded that the consumption of fresh cassava leaves has the potential as an anthelmintic agent to be evaluated in vivo by feeding sheep and goats. Local use could also add value to the production of fresh cassava leaves, with an average potential production of 2.5 tonnes ha-1, available throughout the year, with greater production at the beginning of cultivation and in the summer months. These leaves could be used after the roots harvesting or even after pruning for this purpose. Currently, this amount of good quality protein material remains without use in the field.","PeriodicalId":319653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Health Science","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127067696","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}

However, these are naturally unsanitary hence provide ideal conditions for breeding of disease transmitting agents and become predisposing factors for spread of diseases and infections to surrounding communities. This study aimed at determining the Health Effects of Chunga Dumpsite on surrounding communities in Lusaka, Zambia. Design and Methods: This was a mixed method design and employed a cross sectional approach and case study conducted concurrently. Communities were stratified by distance into Stratum One (within 250 meters radius) and Two (above 250 to 500 meters). Quantitative data were collected from total 200 households thus 100 households from each stratum by using self-administered questionnaires. Qualitative data were collected from Two Key informants from the Local Authority and 15 participants using semi-structured interview guide. Both data were collected from December 22nd, 2018 to February 18th, 2019. Results: Results revealed that smoke and various gasses emitted from burning and decomposing waste compromised quality of air in surrounding communities. Communities were infested with flies, mosquitoes and vermin. Consequently, (73.5%) complained of persistent coughing, (65.1%) suffered from malaria, (72.6%) complained of persistent headaches and (62.2%) had frequent diarrhoea cases in stratum one. Respiratory problems were more pronounced at night possibly due to high humidity which hindered pollutants to easily escape. However, these cases reduced drastically in stratum two. Conclusions: Unsanitary dumpsites in LMICs including Zambia are commonly used as solid waste disposal facilities as opposed to sanitary landfills and become predisposing factors for spread of diseases. Short proximities to dumpsites by unplanned human settlements cause serious environmental challenges leading to public health risks to surrounding communities.
