Tracking Infection and Genetic Divergence of Methicillin-Resistant at Pets, Pet Owners, and Environment Interface.

() has become a leading animal and public health pathogen that keeps on transferring from one host to other, giving rise to newer strains by genetic shifts. The current study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and genetic relatedness of gene in isolated from pets, immediate individuals in contact with pets, and veterinary clinic environments. A total of = 300 samples were collected from different veterinary hospitals in Pakistan using convenience sampling.

Avian influenza at animal-human interface: One-health challenge in live poultry retail stalls of Chakwal, Pakistan.

Background: Live poultry retail stalls (LPRSs) are believed to be the source of human infection with avian influenza viruses (AIVs); however, little is known about epidemiology of these viruses in LPRSs of Pakistan.

Objectives: The current study was conducted to estimate the virological and serological prevalence of AIVs in humans and poultry and associated risk factors among seropositive butchers.

Methods: A field survey of LPRSs of Chakwal District was conducted between December 2015 and March 2016.

Different ambient management intervention techniques and their effect on milk production and physiological parameters of lactating NiliRavi buffaloes during hot dry summer of subtropical region.

In tropical countries, one of the major threats for diary animal production is climate change. Ambient management interventions are beneficial and are the dire need of animal production in tropics. Ambient management intervention and its effect on physiological performance of lactating NiliRavi buffaloes were investigated during the hot dry months (April to June) of Pakistan.
