Molecular investigations of camelpox virus circulating in dromedary camel population in Rajasthan, India.

Camelpox is an important viral disease of dromedary camel in Rajasthan, India. In the present study, partial C18L gene sequences (n = 6) of camelpox virus (CMLV) obtained in an outbreak in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India in year 2022 were compared with other similar sequences obtained in the past in similar geographical location. Clinical and epidemiological features of the disease were also compared.

Effect of Excess Fluoride Exposure on Radiographic and Histopathological Changes in Long Bones of Rabbit.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of excess fluoride exposure on long bones in young rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). New Zealand White rabbits (n = 30) were randomly divided into five equal groups and were provided drinking water containing 0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 µg added fluoride per ml ad lib for a period of 90 days. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 45, and 90 of the experiment, and femur samples were collected for fluoride estimation on day 90 after radiography of long bone before sacrifice.

Normal Serum Fluoride Concentration in Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius).

Fluoride (F) concentration in blood serum of healthy dromedary camel population was measured, and its relationship with age and sex was determined. In male animals, the level varied from 0.017 to 0.

Effect of flubendiamide, lead and their combined exposure on erythrocytic indices in water buffalo calves.

This study evaluated the effect of flubendiamide, lead and their combined oral administration on erythrocytic indices in water buffalo calves. Exposure to flubendiamide alone resulted in non-significant decreases in Hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). Lead acetate exposure resulted in significant declines in Hb, PCV and TEC.
