| isolation and characterization of dichelobacter nodosus from ovine and caprine footrot in kashmir, india. | footrot is a highly contagious and economically important disease of sheep and goats, caused by dichelobacter nodosus, a slow growing anaerobic gram-negative rod. the current australian antigenic classification system, based on variation in the fimbriae, classifies d. nodosus into at least 10 serogroups (a-i and m) and 18 serotypes. this investigation was intended to determine the serological diversity of d. nodosus in this region of kashmir, india. exudates of footrot lesions were collected fro ... | 2007 | 17250860 |
| footrot on a sheep breeding farm in the himalayan state of jammu and kashmir. | in the present study ovine footrot was detected clinically on a sheep farm in the himalayan state of jammu and kashmir. dichelobacter nodosus was confirmed by culture and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using species-specific 16s ribosomal rna primers. when cultured, the organism appeared as flat colourless colonies having a fine granulated structure with irregular margins, and showing characteristic gram-negative rods with swollen ends. detection by pcr from cultured bacteria resulted in amplif ... | 2010 | 21309465 |

| molecular epidemiology of ovine herpesvirus type 2 infection in kashmir, india. | the aims of this investigation were to determine the prevalence of ovine herpesvirus type 2 (ovhv-2) (the causative agent of malignant catarrhal fever) infection in cattle, the carrier status of sheep and goats, and to define the pattern of acquisition of ovhv-2 in lambs under natural flock conditions in kashmir, india. none of the buffy coat samples from 21 lambs contained ovhv-2 dna sequences up to 28 days after birth, only one lamb had sequences of ovhv-2 dna as early as 29 days after birth, ... | 2006 | 17071670 |
| an outbreak of sheep pox on a sheep breeding farm in jammu, india. | an outbreak of sheep pox occurred in december 2001 on a sheep breeding farm in jammu, india. the farm maintains three exotic breeds of sheep, i.e. american merino, rambouillet and australian cross. the disease agent was confirmed as sheep pox virus by clinical and post-mortem examination as well as laboratory testing. typical pock lesions were dispersed over the body of the affected animals with nodular lesions observed in the lung tissue of the dead animals. sheep pox virus antigen and antibody ... | 2004 | 15861890 |
| molecular detection and characterization of dichelobacter nodosus in ovine footrot in india. | dichelobacter nodosus was detected in three clinical cases of ovine footrot in kashmir, india. the detection was done by pcr in three clinical specimens directly, without isolating the organism, using species-specific 16s rdna primers. positive results were indicated by amplification of a 783 bp product. all the three samples were subjected to serogrouping by multiplex pcr using group (a-i) specific primers. all the three samples revealed the presence of serogroup b of d. nodosus by yielding a s ... | 2004 | 15294315 |
| parasitic bronchitis in goats and the possible use of dictyocaulus filaria vaccine for its control. | parasitic bronchitis is widely prevalent in migratory flocks of small ruminants in the northwest himalayan regions of india. the prevalence data collected from 5554 goats, maintained in 31 villages in different agroclimatic regions of the himalayas, showed that the prevalence of the disease in goats varied from 18.7 to 47.6% with an overall prevalence of 21.8%. interestingly, 27.6% of goats maintained at an altitude of 2700-3900 m above mean sea level in kargil (jammu and kashmir), where the cli ... | 1994 | 8171828 |
| gastro-intestinal nematodes in sheep in kashmir. | examination at necropsy of the abomasum and intestinal tract of 62 sheep (including both sexes) of karnah breed, aged one to two years over a period of one year was conducted at handwara, situated in the north-west of kashmir valley. the following species of nematodes were found: haemonchus contortus, trichostrongylus axei, trichostrongylus colubriformis, bunostomum trigonocephalum, chabertia ovina, nematodirus spathiger, skrjabinema ovis and trichuris ovis. infections with trichostrongylus axei ... | 1982 | 6891858 |
