    A Comprehensive Review of Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus (PPRV) Infection of Small Ruminant and Potential Treatment with Various Plant Extracts
    (Uttar Pradesh Zoological Society, 2023) C. Aruna; M. Muniya Naik; N. Chandra Mohan; R. Reddemma; D. Veera Nagendra Kumar; V. Uday Kiran
    Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is caused by a morbillivirus from the Paramyxoviridae family. PPR is an acute, highly contagious, and deadly disease that mostly affects goats and sheep, with cattle experiencing subclinical infection. The Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes the sickness. Given the importance of sheep and goats in the livelihoods of poor and marginal farmers in Africa and South Asia, PPR is a key concern for food security and poverty alleviation. Morbilliviruses PPR virus (PPRV) and render pest virus (RPV) are closely related. This virus can be transmitted from infected animals to vulnerable animals by inhaled aerosols or clinical excretions. PPR symptoms included pyrexia, stomatitis, diarrhoea, ulcerative lesions, and oculo-nasal discharge. This review summarises current advances in PPRV replication, pathology, immunological response to vaccines, and disease control. Attempts have also been made to emphasise current developments in understanding host sensitivity and resistance to PPR, as well as the prevalence of the virus throughout the world and its treatment through the use of various plant materials.

    Evaluation of Buffalo Health and Prevalence of Metabolic Disorders in Pulivendula: A Urine Analysis Approach
    (Uttar Pradesh Zoological Society, 2024) Sudhir Raj Thout; A. Jayasankar; M. Muniya Naik; H. R. V. Reddy; K. Chandra Mohan; B. Jameela Beebi; V. UdayKiran
    Aim: The study aims to evaluate the health status of buffaloes in selected villages of Pulivendula, detect potential metabolic disorders, and assess the prevalence of common health issues using urine analysis via the dipstick method. Objectives: The main aim of this study is to identify abnormalities, correlates the findings with nutrition and health data and emphasizes student participation in community-based animal health programs. Materials and Methods: A total of 25 buffaloes from five villages in the Pulivendula region were randomly checked as part of the study. The dipstick method was chosen for urine sample collection and analysis because of its ease of use, affordabilitys and speedy findings. Tests were conducted on parameters including Blood, Bilirubin, Nitrite, Leucocytes, Sp. Gravity Glucose, Protein, pH, Urea, RBC and Ketones. Students also completed surveys that yielded information about the diet, living circumstances, and overall health of the buffaloes. Results and Discussion: The investigation found that a less number of buffaloes had aberrant urine parameters, indicating subclinical illnesses. Proteinuria and ketonuria were more common in buffaloes from settlements with limited access to quality feed and water. The study results revealed a link between dietary behaviours and observed urine abnormalities, highlighting the need for better nutritional management and health monitoring in these locations. This study highlights the importance of the dipstick method in routine veterinary health checks, as well as the need for focused interventions to improve buffalo health and productivity in the Pulivendula region.
