Simple random sampling was employed to select participants. The data was collected through in-person interviews adapting a closed-ended, structured questionnaire from 287 participants (dog owners who have local or native dogs). The measure was five point rat...

...nic virus in puppies and dogs. It was first reported in 1978; however, it was later replaced by three antigenic variants at different periodic intervals that now circulate globally with random strains. This particular study aimed to determine the genetic changes in the VP2 gene, which are responsible for creating different antigenic variants, and to understand their impact on pathogenicity. In contrast, molecular characterization has become an essential tool i...

...than 60 camels died. Two dogs that consumed the meat of dead camels were also found dead in the study area. Different types of samples, i.e., tissue samples from dead camels (n=2) and blood samples from infected live camels (n=60) were collected from the study area for bacteriological, hematological, and parasitological studies, while for feed analysis, feed samples (n=20) were collected. Postmortem examination of dead camels revealed extensive hemorrhages in ...

In experiment 1, sample examined immediately after added extender, experiment 2, 3 and 4 were. The results of the study found that the average motility percentages for semen transported at 0 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours were 91.00% ± 0.89, 90.83% ± 0.75, 90.17% ± 0.75, and 89.83% ± 0.75, respectively.

BLK was administered inside the ovarian bursa 10 min before ovary removal in Groups (G) 1 and G2 and linear to the incision line 10 min before entering the abdomen in G1. G3 was the control group. The intergroup comparison of pain mediators and GCPS-SF scores showed no significant difference between the GCPS-SF scores at ...

The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from and to companion animals is crucial because dogs and cats frequently share close proximity with their owners and often engage with people and other animals outside of their household. Earlier research has suggested that pets can crea...

The samples were cultured onto the suitable media; the presumptive E. coli colonies were identified phenotypically, biochemically via Vitek2® and serotyping. The virulence of E. coli isolates were characterized phenotypically via hemolysis, Congo red binding, Vero cell cytotoxicity. The antibiotics resistance pattern was assessed by disk diffusion t...
