The virus is belonging to the genus Capri poxvirus (CaPV) of the family Poxviridae. Recently, the disease has been rapidly spreading to the Middle East, South east Europe and parts of Russian federation. The disease causes significant economic loss due to hide damage, loss of milk production, mastitis, infertility and death. Clinically, LSD is characterized by circumscribed skin nodules, fever, and abortions in females and sterility in males. LSD damages hides and causes death due to secondary bacterial infections. LSD is principally transmitted by blood-feeding arthropod vectors. However, transmission of the disease between animals is inefficient. Diagnosis is mainly based on observation of clinical signs and identification of the agent using conventional and real-time PCR methods, electron microscopy, and isolation of the virus in cell cultures, and using conventional serological tests. In endemic countries, vaccination is the only effective method to control the disease using live attenuated vaccines derived from Kenyan sheep and goat pox virus (KSGP) strains. However, there are reports of insufficient protection of the existing vaccines. Therefore; there is a need for more extensive data from the field and for larger-scale clinical trials to ensure the efficacy and safety of the current vaccines","PeriodicalId":325280,"journal":{"name":"ARC Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121463338","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 source of data was epidemiological reports and archives from the Federal Ministry of Animal resources, universities and Non Governmental Organizations for outbreaks of RVF also and laboratory reports of serum samples tested by ELISA. The test performance characteristics were 99% test sensitivity and 99% test specificity.A total of 3393from, sheep, goats and cattle were sampled and selected to be examined. Estimated Seroprevalence of RVF was 0.15% (n=905) in sheep, 0.20 %( n=776) in goats and 0.13 %( n=638) in cattle respectively. Also information gathered was used to determine the distribution of the disease, transmission and recovery rate of infection over point in time. Method This study was retrospective survey designed to investigate previous outbreaks of RVF. The method used was risk analysis, modeling and decision tree to explain the distribution of chronology of the disease. Result The current study was carried out quantitative risk analysis to investigate RVF. Risk analysis revealed that RVF is likely to occur in the Sudan, and vaccination was estimated with highest rollback to reduce the seroprevalence of RVF to be unlikely with expected value of $ US 4368789. A frequency of 0.12%, 0.12% and 0.1% from cattle, goats and sheep population were entered in SIR model respectively. The adjustable parameters were susceptible, infected, recovery rate and death rate; the result concluded that the curve of susceptible(S) was declining, infected (I) was increasing; while recovered(R) was increasing. A total of 2487 mosquitoes were pooled, represented by 600 mosquitoes in the final model, recovery rate of mosquito overtime was 0.22 which is statistically not significant, (P-value =0.9825), and rate of infection was 0.83 %.

Simple random sampling method was used for sampling each herd and animal during serum collection, and risk factors accessed through interviewee of the animal owners. A total of 384 serum samples were collected from cattle of above 6 months of age and sera were initially screened with Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and those samples found positive by RBPT were further tested by Indirect Enzyme-linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (I-ELISA) for confirmation. Based on the result, 13(3.39%) were positive using RBPT and the overall sero-prevalence of bovine brucellosis at animal-level estimated to be 4(1.04%) based on I-ELISA result. At herds' level, an overall sero-prevalence of 5.48% was obtained. Pearson’s Chi-square revealed that the presence of abortion history, retained fetal membrane and breed type were significantly associated with the seropositivity of bovine brucellosis (p<0.05) with Chi-square value of 38.2, 5.76 and 3.99 and P-value of 0.000, 0.016 and 0.046, respectively. The odds of having brucellosis increased by 12.4 times in cow with history of abortion compared to cow without the history, increased by 4.5 times in the animal suffered from history of retained placenta compared to cow with no history of retained placenta and 3.1 times in cross-breed than indigenous breeds. In conclusion, the study demonstrate that the prevalence of bovine brucellosis was low in Becho district. However, poor understanding of brucellosis among communities and a high level of risky practice might result in an increased transmission between animals and zoonoses in risky group personnels. Thus, awareness creation about impacts of the disease, zoonotic importance, risk factors and method of prevention were recommended.","PeriodicalId":325280,"journal":{"name":"ARC Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"175 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125801896","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}

As a result, most of the transportation activities are performed by the use of Equines. Besides, in the northern and north-western part of the country, equines have also been used for ploughing activities showing their contribution in crop production. In some part of the country they are used as food source (Ameni et al., 2006; EARO, 1999; SPANA, 2006). Despite their uses, equines suffer from many diseases, among which Equine histoplasmosis (EH) or Epizootic lymphangitis (EL) is one of the nastiest chronic fungal disease seen mainly in equids. It is caused by Histoplasma capsulatum var. farciminosum a thermally dimorphic fungus. particularly in Africa, Middle East and Asia. Epizootic lmphangitis is called a 'fat leg' because it is known by swelling of legs. In Ethiopia EL is known as 'Biche' in Afan Oromo and 'Nidifit' in Abstract: Across sectional study was carried out from November 2016 up to May 2017 in Bishoftu and Akaki towns in order to isolate Histoplasma capsulatum var farciminosum (HCF) and other co-infect bacteria from local breeds of horses with characteristic lesion of Epizootc lymphangutis. A questionnaire was also designed and administered to assess the socioeconomic impact of the disease in the community. A total of 72 clinical specimens (pus) were collected aseptically using a purposive sampling technique. These specimens were examined under microscope to identify HCF. It was also cultured on Sabourad's Dextrose Agar media and various bacteriological culture media and selective media for isolation of fungus and bacteria respectively. Only (58.3%) of mycelia growth was recorded and (98.6 %) indicated positivity under microscope using stain.

The occurrences of co-infect bacteria was found greater in those horses which didn’t take any therapy. But the treatment does not protect the emerging of new nodules and co-infect bacteria. Similarly, the study animals were grouped in to early, moderate and severe based on stage of the disease. The proportion of bacterial isolates was greater in those horses which were severely infected than those horses grouped in the moderate and early cases of the disease.

The parasite is transmitted biologically by the tsetse fly (Glossina species) and biting flies. T. vivax and T. congolense mainly infect livestock and T. brucei infects both humans and animal. In Ethiopia, animal trypanosomosis is among the most important diseases limiting livestock productivity and agricultural development due to its high prevalence in the most arable and fertile land of South west and Northwest part of the country following the greater river basins of Abay, Omo, Ghibe and Baro, which has a high potential for agricultural development. African animal trypanosomosis is most important in cattle but can cause serious losses in pigs, camels, goats and sheep.Trypanosomosis in livestock causes great losses in terms of mortality, abortion, reduced fertility, milk and meat production and ability to work as traction animals. There are three main strategies for the controlling of Africa animal trypanosomosis. The first is to use drugs to combat the parasite itself, the second is to control vector of disease, tsetse fly which include using live targets (Pour on), dour bait technology (Traps and target) and biological vector control method. The third is exploitation of genetic resistance to trypanosomosis. The incidence of resistance to trypanocidal drugs is apparently increasing and the main means of controlling the disease is therefore under threat.","PeriodicalId":325280,"journal":{"name":"ARC Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116391570","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}
