Clinico-haematological alterations associated with haemoparasites like babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and trypanosomosis in dogs of Kerala, India were studied and the sensitivity of detection methods like light microscopic examination and polymerase chain reaction were compared. Case history and clinical signs of the dogs (n=144), presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), Mannuthy during the study period from April 2018 to October 2019, were recorded. Clinical signs like anorexia and lethargy were noticed in all the dogs sampled. Anaemia and thrombocytopenia were the major haematological features noticed and the haematological changes were prominent in babesiosis when compared to other infections. Light microscopic examination of the blood samples revealed vector-borne microorganisms in 33 (22.9%) samples, while a total of 113 cases of babesiosis, 13 cases of ehrlichiosis, 4 cases of trypanosomosis and 31 cases of mixed infections were detected by polymerase chain reaction. The present study showed that PCR was more sensitive when compared to light microscopic examination. A combination of clinico-haematological investigations, direct microscopic examination and polymerase chain reaction could be adopted as standard tool for the routine laboratory investigation of these haemoparasites in dogs.

Sarcoptes scabiei are burrowing mites which cause major constraints in rabbit production. Eight rabbits with clinical signs of alopecia, intense itching, erythema and dry rusty lesions around the eyes, ears, nose and legs, whose skin scrapings had S. scabiei, were treated with ivermectin (200 μg/kg body weight subcutaneously) at weekly intervals for three weeks, along with the topical application of 5% betadine solution, benzyl benzoate, and supportive therapy to hasten the recovery. After three weeks of treatment, marked improvement of lesions was noticed and skin scrapings were negative for mites.

A coprological survey was conducted on 725 pigs reared under different managemental systems from Bengaluru urban and rural districts. An overall prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites was found to be 73.1%. Among infected pigs, Balantidium coli cyst (35.7%) was found to be predominant followed by Ascaris suum (26.3%), Eimeria sp. (15.7%), Trichuris suis (14.2%), strongyles (7.31%), Ascarops spp. (4.9%), Physocephalus spp. (2.06%), Fasciolopsis buski (1.24%) and Metastrongylus spp. (0.9%). Highest prevalence of helminthic infection was observed in free-range pigs (91.2%) followed by Government organized farms (67.1%) and private organized farms (65.9%). The infection rate of GI parasites was higher in piglets of age group 0 to 6 months (83.33%). Coproculture studies revealed larvae of Oesophagostomum spp. (100%), Trichostrongylus spp. (11.32%) and Hyostrongylus spp. (3.77%). Based on sporulation and morphometry, oocysts of Eimeria debliecki (86.84%), E. suis (71.05%), E. scabra (61.40%) and E. perminuta (40.3%) were recorded.

Blow flies are responsible for causing myiasis in livestock and birds. A one-year old Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) was found dead with maggots on the leg and wing at Kurivimalai, Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu. Morphological examination of third stage larvae revealed five lobes on anterior spiracle and three longitudinal slits, incomplete circumference of peritreme and absence of button on the posterior spiracle based on which, they were identified as Lucilia cuprina. This report appears to be the first on wound myiasis in an Indian peafowl due to L. cuprina worldwide.
