Six hundred and nineteen ectoparasites were collected from 375 chicken from 28 households in and around Ibadan city between February and November, 1999. Of these, 455 (72.72%) were lice, among which 253 (40.12%) were Menopon gallinae , 53 (8.4%) were Columbicola columbae , 48 (7.75%) were Goniocotes hologaster , 33 (5.33%) were Goniodes gigas , 31 (5%) were Chelopistes meleagridis , 23 (3.7%) were Liperus caponis and 15 (2.42%) were Cuclotogaster heterographus . One hundred and twenty one (19.55%) were identified as the soft tick Argas persicus . Fourty three (6.94%) mites, identified as Dermanyssus gallina e were also found. Giemsa stained smears from 150 uncoagulated chicken blood samples examined at x 1,000 magnification, revealed presence of Plasmodium species (spp.) in 48 (32%) of the samples. Leucocytozoon spp accounted for 30 (20%), while Haemoproteus spp was identified in two (1.3%) of the samples. Mixed infection with Plasmodium spp and Leucocytozoon spp were identified in 14 (9.33%), while Leucocytozoon spp and Haemoproteus spp were identified in four (2.67%) of the blood samples. Six (4%) of the blood samples have the three haemoparasites. The need to control these ectoparasites was stressed. Key Words: Ectoparasitism, haemoparasitism, Gallus domesticus. \u0000Trop. Vet.

Predominantly, cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage were specifically infected by the virus as proviral DNA was detected in infected cultures by amplification of a 414 base-pair (bp) fragment of the viral gag-gene by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Nitric oxide (NO) production by infected brain cells under different treatment groups was quantified by photometric methods. Infected enriched microglia cells produced more NO than any other group of cells cultured from the goat brain cerebrum. The present study shows that microglia are targets cells infected by the CAE virus in the brain of goats. It is believed that this finding will assist in devising immuno-prophylactic and immuno-therapeutic measures to be adopted in the management of neurological dysfunctions resulting from retroviral infections. It is also possible that the present observation on the tropism of the virus with the attendant NO production may have important implications in the pathogenesis of retroviral and other viral infections of man and animals.

Of the 90 calves from the 12 nomadic and 70 calves from the 8 Institutional/Private herds sampled, 20 and 10 respectively were positive for Toxocara (Neoascaris) vitulorum eggs in their faeces by the age of one week. This is a strong indication of the early infection of zebu calves by T. vitulorum, in Northern Nigeria as reported for calves of similar ages in other countries. This early infections could have been through intra-uterine route or postnatally via colostrum. Some of the calves voided mature stages of the helminth in their faeces between the ages of 7 and 8 weeks, which might be suggestive of either prenatal (intra-uterine) or postnatal (intra-mammary) modes of infections. Also, an infection rate among the calves of 91.1% for the nomadic and 61.4% for the Institutional/Private farms were observed in this study. The implications of these findings for the success of the cattle industry in Nigeria are discussed. \u0000Key Words: Toxocara vitulorum, neonatal zebu-calves; Initial age of infection. \u0000Trop.

The result of the investigation revealed a prevalence rate of 4.5%. Bacteriological examination of the scabs and crust samples of affected cattle showed considerable variation in the cultural appearance of the various strains. Cultural comparison showed that all isolates grew at 37oC in CO2 atmosphere with differences in haemolysis pattern on bovine and ovine blood agar. Biochemical reactions showed that all strains were catalase positive and actively positive for the fermentation of glucose while most isolates fermented fructose, maltose and mannitol. Few isolates fermented xylose and sucrose and non-fermented lactose and sorbitol within 24 hours when incubated anaerobically at 37oC. Antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolates indicated that all strains examined were susceptible to nitrofurantoin, gentamycin, kanamycin, co-trimoxazole and tetracycline with few isolates being susceptible to colistin sulphate and ampicillin. Meanwhile all isolates were resistant to sulphafurazole. Investigations revealed that bovine dematophilosis is prevalent in Borno State.

The average daily weight gain of control animals (40% maize was 0.34+0.06kg those of animals on processed cassava meals were 0.38+0.04kg, 0.40+0.03kg and 0.39+0.06kg for diets 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The packed cell volume of the blood of the experimental animal showed that the control diet had higher values than the other diets. Various degrees of histological lesions were observed in the livers of the experimental animals on the different cassava meals. The most pronounced lesions were noticed in animals fed with 40% sun-dried cassava meals (SDCM). Tribecular fibrosis and cellular infiltration of the portal spaces, kidney lesions including prominent glomerulonephritis were noticed in various degrees which was most prominent in animals fed on sun-dried cassava meal. Various degree of disruption of epithelial architecture of the small intestine were observed in the animals placed on the cassava-based diets; the most pronounced lesions were observed in animals fed on sun-dried cassava meal. These findings suggests that prolonged feeding of sun-dried cassava at high levels in the diet of growing pigs may result in histopathological lesions in the livers, kidneys and the small intestine of growing pigs. \u0000Key Words: Histopathology, Growing pigs, cassava meals. \u0000Trop.
