 Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Veterinary medicine, , language: English, abstract: Salmonella is one of the most common foodborne and important zoonotic pathogens worldwide. Because of the difficulties in ensuring optimal hygienic food handling practices, the problem is even more severe in developing countries. A cross-sectional study with a simple random sampling approach was conducted to estimate the occurrence, identifying risk factors, and assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Salmonella isolated from fishermen and fish species from Fincha Lake. Salmonella was isolated, phenotypically identified by Omni Log and the antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using the disk diffusion method and interpreted following the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute recommendations. Tilapia (220), common carp (85), and catfish (79) were the most known fish species in Lake Fincha. Samples were collected from skins (65),Gills ( 96 ), Intestines ( 110 ) , and Muscles (113 ) parts of these three species. Muscles 3 (2.65%) samples were found to be the most Salmonella positive, followed by gills 2 (2.08 %). No Salmonella was isolated from fishermen s hand swabs (0%).The prevalence of salmonella in fish was 1.30 % ( 95% confidence interval (CI ) : 0.42-3.01 ).The overall prevalence of Salmonella in the study area was 1.21% ( 95% CI: 0.39-2.80 ) . All of the isolated Salmonella (n=5) belongs to S. Typhimurium Serovars. The antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that the isolates were resistant to Cefotaxime, Tetracycline, and Ampicillin disks. However, Chloramphenicol, Sulfamethaxazole+Trimethoprim, Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid, Gentamicin and Cefoxitin were found effective in inhibiting the growth of all of the isolates. Isolation of Salmonella from fish was associated with contamination of the harvesting areas, contamination of the Lake, collecting and processing materials and equipment. Factors independently predicted Salmonella occurrence were the presence of contamination (AOR: 2.84, 95%CI: 1.45-1.83, P=0.041), fish that was not iced after landing (AOR: 8 95% CI: 0.06-5.91, P=0.032) and poor handling practice (AOR: 29.3, 95% CI: 0.06-0.37 P=0.0.035). In conclusion, Salmonella has been isolated from fish collected from Lake Fincha, so appropriate measures should be taken to prevent contamination and infection.

 Academic Paper in the subject Veterinary medicine, grade: 18.0, , language: English, abstract: Snail-borne parasitic sicknesses, for example, fascioliasis, paragonimiasis and schistosomiasis, present dangers to human wellbeing and create major financial issues in numerous tropical and sub-tropical nations. In this survey we sum up the center jobs of snails in the existence patterns of the parasites they have, their clinical indications and sickness disseminations, just as snail control strategies. Snails play four parts in the existence patterns of the parasites they have: as a middle of the road have contaminated by the principal stage hatchlings, as the main halfway host tainted by miracidia, as the primary moderate host that ingests the parasite eggs are ingested, and as the main transitional host entered by miracidia with or without the subsequent middle of the road have been an oceanic creature. Snail-borne parasitic infections target numerous organs, like the lungs, liver, biliary parcel, digestion tracts, mind and kidneys, prompting overactive resistant reactions, diseases, organ disappointment, barrenness and even demise. Non-industrial nations in Africa, Asia and Latin America have the most noteworthy occurrences of these infections, while a few endemic parasites have formed into overall pestilences through the worldwide spread of snails. Physical, synthetic and natural techniques have been acquainted with control the host snail populaces to forestall infection.

42,24€ + 10% CARD

 Scientific Study from the year 2021 in the subject Veterinary medicine, , language: English, abstract: The research mainly focuses on the culture of myocardium-derived stem cells as an alternative source of the cell materials for treating patients with heart disease. Myocardial ischemia is a heart dysfunction caused by insufficient blood supply to its muscle tissue. This supply decrease can be related to the narrowing of coronary arteries, coronary thrombosis, or diffusive narrowing of arterioles and other small-sized vessels of the heart. Stopping the blood supply to the myocardium may lead to cardiac muscle necrosis (myocardial infarction). Coronary arteries perfuse the heart and help transport the nutrients and Oxygen to metabolically active myocardium. Nowadays, myocardial ischemia, which is associated with atherosclerosis and coronary arteries obstruction, is the leading cause of death for both men and women, and according to the predictions it will remain so until 2030. Myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction, which is associated with coronary arteries diseases, can also happen to small animals like cats and dogs, which may lead to a sudden death or death while under anesthesia. Because the heart of adult mammals has extremely limited regeneration ability and the lost cells are replaced with fibrous scars, there is a need for search for treatment methods that are aimed at restoring the structure of cardiac muscle after the ischemia. Cell technologies are a promising treatment method for animals with myocardial infarction that restores its structure and contractile function. In the past 50 years there have been a significant number of experimental researches that deal with the cell technologies issues. As a result of the research, we understand that stem cells and their derivatives may lay foundation for developing the innovative cell technologies, at any stage of histogenesis. The spectrum of clinical issues that this kind of treatment methods is expected to help with is astounding. However, the introduction of cell technologies to the clinical practice requires a thorough guide for protocols on how to obtain the stem cells, cell culture and usage, deep study of recipient organism and the transplanted cells interaction, close control of phenotypic and genetic changes in order to provide high quality and safety of the used cell materials in restorative clinical therapy of post myocardial infarction changes in the myocardium.

 Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Veterinary medicine, grade: 4.99, Makerere University (Veterinary Medicine), course: Animal diseases, language: English, abstract: This study was undertaken to know the Babesiosis prevalent in Ovine and Caprine in Baligubadle District, Hawd region, Somaliland. This study will add an additional advantage of the Babesiosis to cover the further way for launching sustainable animal disease controlling and minimizing in Somaliland. However there is little data on national herd distribution and composition up to date. Furthermore there is little information about the prevalence of Babesiosis in sheep and goats in Baligubadle district. Therefore this study is aimed at investigating the prevalence of sheep and goats Babesiosis in Baligubadle district, Somaliland. Ovine and caprine babesiosis is an acute or chronic infectious disease of sheep and goats, caused by two species of Babesia, transmitted by ticks, and characterized by fever, anemia, hemoglobinuria and icterus. Ovine and Caprine Babesiosis is caused by two antigenically different species of Babesia: B. motasi, is a large and more virulent form, occurring singly or paired in erythrocytes; B. ovis which is a small form. The main objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of Babesiosis in sheep and goats in Baligubadle District, Somaliland. Cross sectional study that has been carried out at 19 April up to 15 July in five villages in Baligubadle district. A total of 350 sheep and goats were sampled.

 Scientific Study from the year 2020 in the subject Veterinary medicine, grade: 10, , language: English, abstract: This study investigates the changes in the pancreas of rats with the introduction of alloxan, confirming histologically the presence of pathological processes characteristic of type I diabetes. Additionally, a cytogenetic analysis of rat cells in culture obtained from red bone marrow, adipose tissue and pancreas during subcultivation in the in vitro system was performed and their phenotypic characterization was given. Furthermore the histological changes in the pancreas of rats were analysed with the introduction of cell cultures obtained from different sources against experimental diabetes and studied the changes in the blood glucose of experimental animals with the transplantation of cellular material. Despite the shortcomings of the modern methods of treating animals with type I diabetes using insulin therapy, as well as the fact that pancreatic -cell death is one of the important elements in the diabetes pathogenesis, new approaches to the treatment of this disease using cell technologies are being studied. Recent studies of -cells in the in vitro system have shown that they have a fairly high regenerative capacity, but in the in vivo system with diabetes, these cells almost do not recover. The development of methods that can activate -cell regeneration is an important area of the scientific research. To date, mainly red bone marrow is used as the source of stem cells for research, because this is the only tissue of the adult body that normally contains immature, undifferentiated and low-differentiated cells. However, adipose tissue is being increasingly used as an alternative source for stem cells, from which they can be isolated in significantly larger quantities using less invasive methods compared to using red bone marrow. It is worth noting that there are still a lot of unclear issues in the study of the pancreas regeneration ways, therefore, in the treatment of patients with diabetes, the direction of the use of cell culture obtained from the pancreas is especially relevant. Given the above, the aim of our study was to study the effect of cell cultures obtained from adipose tissue, bone marrow, and pancreas on the course of experimentally formed insulin-dependent type I diabetes in rats with the aim of developing scientifically based and effective cell therapy methods in veterinary medicine.

 Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Veterinary medicine, grade: 18, , course: public health, language: English, abstract: Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by snail intermediate hosts. It is one of the most wide spread zoonotic disease which is endemic in many developing countries of the tropics and sub tropics causing considerable loss in humans and animals. The disease affects rural communities particularly those who depend upon irrigation to support their agriculture. Currently it affects between 200 and 300 million people in around 74 countries. The great majority (80-85%) of schistosomiasis is found in sub-Saharan Africa. Schistosomiasis is caused by trematode worms of the genus Schistsoma that live in the alimentary tract, bladder, as well as hepatic and nasal veins of humans and animals. Effective transmission of schistosomiasis occurs when the schistosome parasites, the aquatic snail hosts and the human or animal definitive hosts meet in space and time in surface water. The pathological changes with the disease are attributed by the adult parasite, cercaria and the eggs of the parasite. Health education, chemotherapy, environmental and biological control as well as provision of clean water have an innumerable role in the control activity of the disease. The use of traditional medicines in the treatment of schistosomiasis are economically important and a growing concern. There are various types of plants having anti schistosomal and molluscicidal properties with minimal side effects used by developing countries and continuous to be used in the modern world. Phytoplacca dodecandora (Endod) is the most widely studied molluscicide in Ethiopia.

Mycotoxins occur more frequently in areas with a hot and humid climate, favourable for the growth of molds, they can also be found in temperate zones.In comparison to monogastric species, ruminant animals are generally less susceptible to the adverse effects caused by contamination of feeds with mycotoxins because presence of rumen microflora in rumen. However, a number of mycotoxins resist rumen degradation, causing distinct clinical signs of intoxication. Dairy cattle can be exposed to different number of mycotoxins because complex feeding diet originating from different feed materials such as roughage and concentrates. Exposure of diary catte to these mycotoxins may result in unexpected health problem. Due to apre-existing negative energy balance, cows in the transition period are considered to be particularly sensitive to the exposure to feeds. The variation of mycotoxinoccurence due to different factors, including agricultural practices and climatic conditions. Aflatoxins (AFs) are found in maize and peanuts, aswell as in tree nuts and dried fruits. OTA is found mainly in cereals, but significant levels of contamination may also occur in wine, coffee, spices and dried fruits. Other products of concern are beans, roasted coffee and cocoa, malt and beer, bread and bakery products, wines and grape juices, spices, poultry meat and kidneys, pig kidneys and pork sausages. The production of secondary metabolism is the effect of Fungal metabolism Secondary metabolites, are formed from a relatively small number of branch points of primary metabolic pathways. Among them some of these secondary metabolites are used as antibiotics, while others are very toxic and carcinogenic to humans and animals.Economic impact associated with mycotoxicosisincluding:Slower growth rates, Poor conception rates, inconsistentmanure, Increased disease susceptibility, Reduced production performance, loss of animal and human life, veterinary and public cost of treatment.
