| biting rhythms of malaria vector anopheles culicifacies in kheda district, gujarat. | all night collections on bovine baits were made in 6 villages of kheda district, gujarat. during 70 all night bait collections from january to december 1989, a total of 2290 an. culicifacies were collected. an. culicifacies mostly exhibited bimodal rhythms with a seasonal shift in peak biting activities. during the cold season most biting occurred just after dusk and during the warm season late at night. an. culicifacies was more active during moonless hours and its activity showed no correlatio ... | 1991 | 1810752 |
| a quantitative survey of anophelines in six villages of kheda district, gujarat. | sampling of anophelines from six villages of kheda district, gujarat was done using four different methods viz. indoor resting, outdoor resting, bovine bait trap and immature collections. a total of 113,487 specimens representing 17 species were collected. an. subpictus (66.51 per cent) was most abundant species followed by an. culicifacies (14.12 per cent) and an. tessellatus (5.24 per cent). bovine bait collections were found most productive yielding maximum species and highest number of anoph ... | 1991 | 1940215 |
| feeding behavior patterns of anophelines from uttar pradesh and gujarat states of india. | identification of host blood meals collected on filter paper in the field from fully fed female anophelines was carried out by a microdot-elisa; field-caught mosquito species were simultaneously identified. the results indicate that the percentages of mixed feeds, i.e., mosquitoes feeding both on human and cattle hosts to complete a blood meal, was only 3-4%. human and mixed feeds together accounted for nearly 10% of bloodmeals. mosquitoes collected from human dwellings did not show a higher per ... | 1991 | 2045801 |

| emerging & re-emerging bacterial pathogens in india. | in spite of major successes against infectious diseases in the 20th century, new infectious diseases have emerged and old ones re-emerged in recent decades in different parts of the world. a brief survey of emerging and re-emerging bacterial diseases of public health importance in india is presented in this paper. plague re-appeared in two outbreaks in maharashtra and gujarat in 1994, indicating a breakdown of the public health measures that had prevented its occurrence for several decades. lept ... | 1996 | 8926026 |
| biting rhythms of some anophelines in central gujarat. | a total of 41,552 anophelines comprising 16 species were collected during 70 all-night bovine-bait collection carried out in six villages of kheda district, gujarat. anopheles subpictus, an. varuna, an. culicifacies, an. stephensi and an. vagus had unimodal biting rhythms. most feeding occurred during the early night with occasional increase during pre-dawn/dawn hours. an. pallidus exhibited bimodal biting rhythm with two well-defined peaks. an. turkhudi, an. tessellatus, an. fluviatilis, an. ac ... | 1996 | 9125832 |
| dams, environment and regional development--harnessing the "elixir of life: water" for overall development. | water--the elixir of life--has the potential to sustain human life and also to develop it further, and that is why various international instruments have aptly recognized its role in sustainable development. this paper reviews the global and indian water scenario before presenting the case of gujarat state, where perennial water scarcity has raised serious threats to the existence of millions of people and cattle and has led to environmental degradation and constrained economic development. more ... | 2002 | 12019836 |
| serogroups, atypical biochemical characters, colicinogeny and antibiotic resistance pattern of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli isolated from diarrhoeic calves in gujarat, india. | this study was designed to investigate the antibiotic resistance, colicinogeny, serotyping and atypical biochemical characteristics of 41 shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) strains detected using polymerase chain reaction from 90 e. coli strains isolated from 46 diarrhoeic calves. the stec strains belonged to 14 different serogroups. seventeen per cent of the stec strains carried the eaea gene while 14.28% of the 49 non-stec strains were eaea positive. twenty eight (68.29%) of the 41 ... | 2008 | 18234027 |
| identification and antibiogram of microbes associated with bovine mastitis. | an investigation of mastitis in cattle was carried out in anand city and in nearby villages of gujarat state using california mastitis test (cmt) kit. the prevalence of clinical and subclinical mastitis was found to be 5.5% and 15.75%, respectively. staphylococcus aureus was identified through strain specific polymerase chain reaction; the remaining isolates identified on the basis of molecular analysis by 16s rdna sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were staphylococcus species, b. pumilus, sta ... | 2011 | 21774624 |
