Abstract

Ticks spread pathogens that affect both human and animal health and often cause significant economic losses to the livestock industry. However, there is limited data on the distribution of ticks and tick-borne pathogens, particularly those affecting cattle in Cameroon. In this study, ticks were collected from cattle in Buea, the capital of the South West Region of Cameroon, to determine their diversity and identify tick-borne pathogens through PCR and sequencing. The tick samples were screened for pathogens using assays that target the rOmpA gene (ompA) of Rickettsia, the ssrRNA gene of Babesia and Theileria and the Ehrlichia genus 16SrRNA gene. A total of 458 ticks were collected with Rhipicephalus annulatus (65.6%) as the predominant species. From 68 tick pools screened, 26 (38.2%) were positive for pathogen/ symbiont DNA. The pathogen identified was Rickettsia africae (22.1%). This study reports the first molecular detection of the symbiont Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii (22.1%) in the sampled tick species. It was observed that male ticks were significantly more likely to test positive for R. africae (OR = 208, 95% CI = 28.6 - 4553, p<0.001). Animal handlers may face the risk of these zoonotic infections and as such, there is a need to employ protective measures to prevent or reduce pathogen spread.

Abstract

This study was designed and conducted with the aims to investigate the status of the parasitic infestations of buffaloes rearing in the Haor and bordered hilly areas of Sylhet district of Bangladesh as the ecology and the geographical facts are facilitating favorable conditions for parasites. Based on zoo-geography of different haor and hilly areas belongs to five Upazilla of Sylhet district were selected as study areas. A total 200 (40 samples from each Upazilla) fecal samples from randomly selected study buffalo based on considering survey findings, age, sex and seasons were collected and tested using direct smear method, floatation and McMaster egg counting techniques. Fascioliasis was the most prevalent (20.5%) parasitic infection, with an overall prevalence of 84.5%. The level of parasite infection varied throughout the five haor and adjacent areas of Sylhet; Jaintapur had the highest level (85%) and Zakiganj the lowest (65%). Out of the three helminth categories, Guwainghat had the highest prevalence of treamtaode (31.25%) and cestode (28.12%), while Kanaighat had the highest (51.72%) prevalence of nematode infection. Fascioliasis was most prevalent (46%) in adult buffaloes, while toxocariasis was highest in buffalo calves. Comparatively higher parasitic infection was seen in wet season (80.82%), followed by 61.25% in dry season.  It is concluded that, prevalence of helminthes parasite are much more higher in buffaloes in the haor and bordered hilly areas in Sylhet due to zoo-geographical facts, which to be seriously considered by the related authority and would formulate a specific helminthes control strategic plan for haor areas.

Abstract

The fractures of Tortoise’s shell, especially in tortoises like Centrochelys sulcata (African spurred tortoise), pose significant task due to the unique structure and function of their shells. Old methods such as suturing, wiring, and adhesives often have limitations, prompting the need for more advanced techniques. This study presents an innovative approach using bone patches combined with epoxy resin glue for the repair of shell fractures. A shell fracture in a 52-year-old female African spurred tortoise was treated using this method, which provided a stable and supportive environment for healing. The application of bone patches and epoxy glue not only stabilized the fracture site but also reduced the risk of complications. This technique offers a promising alternative to usual methods, potentially improving outcomes for a wide range of shell injuries in tortoise. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects and potential enhancements of this method.

Abstract

The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is among the most commonly kept pet lizards, yet helminth infections remain a frequent health concern in captivity, often exacerbated by stress, inadequate husbandry, and immunosuppression. Untreated infections compromise animal welfare and contribute to physiological stress. Regular anthelmintic treatment is essential for reducing the parasitic burden and improving reptile health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the anthelmintic therapy, fenbendazole and praziquantel + emodepside combination, on the degree of Oxyurid infection in Iguana iguana. Treatment efficacy was assessed based on the interpretation of FECRT outcomes in both the treated and control groups. The 27 infected Iguana iguana were randomly separated into three equal groups. Nine infected iguanas received one of the following treatments: placebo (P0 Control) and fenbendazole at a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight (BW) orally for three days (P1). Praziquantel + emodepside anthelmintic will be administered topically (spot-on) at a dose of 1.12 ml/kg body weight (BW) (P2). The efficacy of the therapies was evaluated on the 30th day after treatment. A fecal examination was carried out utilizing the flotation and McMaster methods. The average FECRT findings revealed that fenbendazole was 100% effective at 25 mg/kg body weight (BW). Subsequently, praziquantel + emodepside combined at 1.12ml/kg body weight (BW) was 90% effective in Iguana iguana infected with Oxyurid. This study found that fenbendazole was more effective dewormer than praziquantel + emodepside in green iguana against Oxyurid.
