Copro-ELISA-based prevalence and risk determinants of giardiasis in cattle and sheep populations raised by socio-economically deprived urban nomadic communities located in and around Multan, Punjab-Pakistan
ABSTRACT This study reports the copro-prevalence of giardiasis in sheep and cattle populations of nomadic communities in Multan-Pakistan. For this purpose, a total of 184 faecal samples were collected from cattle (n = 92) and sheep (n = 92) raised by the nomads. All samples were analyzed by using species-specific ELISA kits for the detection of copro-antigen of Giardia duodenalis. Results showed that the overall prevalence of giardiasis was 21.20%, whereas, in sheep and cattle, the prevalence rates were 19.18% and 23.91%, respectively. Age, clinico-physical status and drinking water source showed significant association (P < 0.05) with giardiasis in both sheep and cattle. Breed, history of gastrointestinal problems and routine vaccination were also significant (P < 0.05) risk factors in sheep but not in cattle. Deworming history had a significant association (P < 0.05) with giardiasis in cattle population only. Conversely, sex, herd size, farmers’ educational status, feeding pattern, physiological status, contact with wildlife and Giardia-susceptible animals and hygienic condition of housing facility showed non-significant association (P > 0.05) with giardiasis. In conclusion, the cattle and sheep raised by the nomads are infected with giardiasis and may pose a serious threat to susceptible animal and human populations in their surrounding regions.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
