Survey of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in camel migrated from U.P., M.P., and Rajasthan at Nagpur region was carried out in early summer, 2008. Total 28 samples (12 males and 16 females) were collected from different places of Nagpur region. They revealed parasites as Trichuris sp.(50%), Strongyloides sp.(32.14%), Trichostrongylus sp.(10.71%), Nematodirus sp.(10.71%), Haemonchus sp.(14.28%), Eurytrema sp.(21.42%) ,Eimeria sp.(25%), Entamoeba sp.(17.85%) and Balantidium sp.(7.14%).All were found positive for mixed helminthic infection.

This study involved morphologic and morphometric postnatal development on thirty spleens of the Chotanagpuri sheep. The spleen was collected and biometrical parameters were recorded. The spleen was found high in the abdominal cavity adjacent to the vertebral column in the region of 10-13 th ribs in all age group. The colour of spleen varied with advancement of age which was creamish in early age and gradually became reddish brown. The shape of the spleen was roughly triangular in all age groups. The mean weight, maximum length, maximum width, length of dorsal, anterior and posterior borders and thickness of dorsal border at anterior, middle and posterior ends, thickness of anterior border at dorsal and middle ends, thickness of posterior border at dorsal end of spleen and distance of hilus from dorsoanterior and ventro-anterior angle significantly increased among different groups of sheep with advancement of age. However, there was no significant difference in thickness of anterior border at ventral end, thickness of posterior border at middle and ventral ends.
The present study was conducted on ten each uropygial glands of 6 to 8 months old healthy
Kadaknath and White Leghorn breeds of poultry. The tissue samples were stained by H and E for
normal histological structures, Verhoeff’s stain for collagen and elastic fibers, PAS (Periodic Acid
Schiff’s) for glycogen and Alcian Blue PAS method for acid mucopolysaccharides. The uropygial
gland in Kadaknath and White Leghorn was composed of two lobes. Each lobe had a single duct
and these ducts were joined together by isthmus. The thickness of capsule was more in White
Leghorn than Kadaknath breed. The lumen of tubules showed higher concentration of secretary
product in Kadaknath breed. Numbers of tubules were higher in Kadaknath. No aggregation of
lymphocytes was found in the preen gland of White Leghorn, whereas in Kadaknath, there was
large number of lymphocytes aggregation alongwith lymphatic nodules. Melanin pigmentation was
the characteristic feature of Kadaknath which was found towards the central cavity and in between
ductules. The capsule of White Leghorn showed intense PAS activity, while moderate activity was
found in Kadaknath breed of poultry. Intense ACPase reaction was noticed in capsule of uropygial
gland of Kadaknath and White Leghorn breeds of poultry.
