Detection of Rotavirus from diarrhoeic cow calves in Mathura, India

Abstract

Samples of soil, forage and blood serum of cattle in six villages Ganderbal district of kashmir were collected and analysed for different macro and micro mineral contents to establish the mineral correlation among soil, forage and animals. The macro and micro mineral contents in soils of Ganderbal district were higher than their respective critical levels except Mn. Similarly, in forage except for zinc all the mineral values were above critical level. The study also revealed the serum mineral values above the critical levels. The soil and forage (r=0.558) and forage and serum (r=0.463) showed significant positive correlations while, non-significant (P<0.05) positive correlation (r=0.08) between soil and serum for Cu was observed. The correlation for Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, iron and manganese observed between soil-forage, Forage-serum as well as soil-serum was non-sgnificant. Based on present study, supplementation of calcium, phosphorous, copper and zinc in the diet of cattle under existing feeding practices in Ganderbal district of Kashmir is imperative for better health and productivity. However, further, studies should elucidate the bioavailability and strategic dietary supplementation of minerals for livestock

Detection of bovine rotavirus in diarrheic calves by using rapid test in some Mid-Euphrates provinces

“…The increasing of microbial activity and the osmotic imbalance lead to draw more water into the intestine , the subsequent diarrhea causes weakness, dehydration also acidosis and hypoglycemia, electrolytes losing that lead to respiration and heart work could be affected ,depression and all physiological function may be either alteration or stop in severe cases lead to death. The resultant of effectiveness of sex on infection rate in present study which slightly higher in male than female but non-significant is similar to other finding by (26) whom recorded infection rate (20.37%)in male and (12.76%) in female, also (27) that found in male higher than in female but without remarkable significant variance. But (28) and (29) showed high rotavirus infection in female than in male but also in non-significant differences.…”

First detection of group C rotavirus in children with acute gastroenteritis in South Korea

“…This may be due to the lack or paucity of intact GpC particles and degraded viral RNA in stool samples [18–20]. Our results agree with the wide prevalence range of GpC RV (1–36%) reported in various countries [4,7,11,17,23–28], suggesting that further studies are needed to examine freshly collected faecal specimens using more sensitive diagnostic assays aiming to better determine the burden of GpC RV gastroenteritis among children and adults in South Korea.…”

Immunohistochemical and molecular detection of natural cases of bovine rotavirus and coronavirus infection causing enteritis in dairy calves

“…In our study calves below 1-month of age suffered with these pathogens. The same has been described by previous workers for occurrence of rotaviral and coronavirus diarrhoea in neonatal calves [20]: [21,22]. The reason for high occurrence of these pathogens below one-month of age could be due to less developed immune system in neonates and the lack of adequate amount of maternal antibodies in the colostrum [23], so the free sites are available for attachment of virus to sialic acid or galactosidase receptors of enterocytes.…”
