“…Brucellosis in bovines is predominantly caused by B. abortus, less frequently caused by B. melitensis, and occasionally caused by B. suis [2]. Brucella infection among bovines is characterized by premature abortions and breeding-related complications, such as repeat breeding, retained products of conception, metritis, stillbirths, weakness in offspring, reduced milk production in females, orchitis, and epididymitis in males [3]. Humans are accidental hosts contracting the disease through direct contact with infected animals or indirect contact with contaminated animal products [4].…”

Background and Aim: Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by Brucella species. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with bovine brucellosis seropositivity in organized dairy farms to control the disease in unvaccinated adult bovine herds in Karnataka, India. Materials and Methods: In total, 3610 samples (3221 cattle and 389 buffaloes) were subjected to parallel testing using the Rose Bengal plate test and protein G-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, followed by analyses of animal- and farm-level epidemiological datasets to identify the risk factors. Results: The apparent brucellosis prevalence at the animal level was higher in buffaloes (8.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.9–11.4) than in cattle (6.1%, 95% CI = 5.3–7.0). In a multivariable logistic model, animals calved 3–5 times (odds ratio [OR] = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.50–3.1, reference [ref]: animals calved <2 times); animals with a history of abortion (OR = 54.73, 95% CI = 33.66–89.02), repeat breeding (OR = 19.46, 95% CI = 11.72–32.25), and placental retention (OR = 13.94, 95% CI = 4.92–39.42, ref: no clinical signs); and dogs on farms (OR = 2.55, 95% CI = 1.48–4.40, ref: absence of dogs); disposal of aborted fetus in open fields (OR = 4.97, 95% CI = 1.93–12.84) and water bodies (OR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.50–3.1, ref: buried); purchase of animals from other farms (OR = 6.46, 95% CI = 1.01–41.67, ref: government farms); hand milking (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.02–10.0, ref: machine milking); and use of monthly veterinary services (OR = 3.45, 95% CI = 1.28–9.29, ref: weekly services) were considered significant risk factors for brucellosis in organized bovine herds (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The study identified that the animals calved 3–5 times or with a history of abortion/repeat breeding/placental retention, and disposal of aborted fetus in open fields/water bodies as the potential risk factors for bovine brucellosis. These risk factors should be controlled through the implementation of best practices to reduce the brucellosis burden in bovine farms. Keywords: brucellosis, buffalo, cattle, India, risk factors, seroprevalence.

Lakes are vital resources, natural surface water course also play a crucial role in groundwater recharge and they regulate the urban climate nowadays. Sewage discharge, improper agricultural practices and urban run offs have disrupted the ecosystem .In Hyderabad there are 185 lakes in that only 10 lakes have good water quality current situation due to domestic sewage and industrial waste water discharge are mixed with lake water. For our study we have selected 2 lakes, Hussain sagar, and Saroor nagar from those 175 lakes. This paper examines the present lake water quality, Four sample stations were located around two lakes totally24 samples were collected as per standard methods and, samples have been analyzed for Physico-Chemical parameters such as pH, TH, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+,Cl-, HCO3, CO3, DO,BOD,COD. Results obtained were compared with water quality standards, irrigation standards and compared with previous study to analyzed that parameters limits.pH is observed for Hussain sagar lake are fall within the acceptable limit, for Sarooro nagar is observed are increased.TH, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+,Cl-, HCO3, CO3 were exceeds the acceptable limits , DO,BOD and COD for 2 lakes are within the acceptable limits at present because of covid19 lockdown last year all festivals were banned.
