BACKGROUND: The predisposition of ruminants to indigestible foreign materials is becoming a major global concern in livestock systems in developing countries making gastrointestinal tract impactions severe veterinary emergencies.
Ectoparasites of dogs represent an important group of parasites. They often suck blood, cause pruritis, and could serve as vectors of many pathogens of veterinary and public health importance. In northeastern Nigeria, there is a lack of data regarding ectoparasites of dogs. Therefore, this study was undertaken to explore the external parasites of d...

Avian malaria caused by haemosporidian parasites belonging to Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon species transmit- ted by arthropod vectors is considered a global problem for avian species. Despite this concern, there are limited studies on avian hae- mosporidian parasites in free-range chickens in Nigeria and its sub regions. The aim of th...
BACKGROUND: Agama agama lizards are the most populous species of lizard in developing countries of African including
Nigeria. These lizards are insectivores; they feed on insects and other arthropods, which may predispose them to
different gastrointestinal parasitic infections, some of which are of zoonotic importance.
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed...

The comparative effects of honey and commercially available multivitamin (Vitaflash ® , Kepro B.V. Holland) on the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody response of cockerel chicks to oral vaccination against Newcastle disease (ND) at 3 weeks of age using live attenuated ND 'LaSota' vaccine was investigated. Sixty (60) day-old cockerel chicks...
p>The crude aqueous extract of Guiera senegalensis stem bark was evaluated for its phytochemistry, acute toxicity and in vitro antitrypanosomal efficacy in this study. Tests for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phlabotannins, saponins, steroids, cardenolides, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, and anthraquinones were conducted. A total of 15 albino rat...
p>The aqueous extract of Carica papaya leaf was evaluated for its phytochemistry, acute toxicity and in vitro antitrypanosomal efficacy in this study. A total of 15 albino rats grouped into 5(A-E) of 3 rats each were intraperitoneally treated with graded doses of 100, 200, 400, 800mg/kg body weight of the aqueous extract and observed for 24 hours f...
Aim:
Coccidiosis is an important enteric parasitic disease of poultry associated with significant economic losses to poultry farmers worldwide. This survey was conducted from June 2014 through July 2015 with the main goal of investigating the prevalence and associated risk factors of coccidiosis among village and exotic breeds of chickens in Maidu...
Aim. This survey study was conducted from April 2014 through March 2015 in Bauchi, Yobe, and Gombe states, northeastern Nigeria, to explore the risk factors associated with the occurrence of gastrointestinal helminthosis among indigenous donkeys (Equus asinus).

What reasons could bring about rises in lymphocytes , monocytes and eosinophil counts in chickens infected with avian haemoparasites?
I am looking for PCR primers that will amplify in the presence of any avian blood parasites infection which will indicate presence/absence of the infection in village chickens sampled in Nigeria. The primers should be able to amplify in the presence of Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and/or Leucocytozoon. I wish to use PCR to identify all the infected samples, even at a low intensity infections that I might have missed while microscopically viewing blood smears. I would appreciate suggestion on any available published protocol that will serve as guide to my lab work as well as recommendations on which primers design will bring success to my work. Thank you very much
I am working on haemoparasites of village chickens in Nigeria, blood samples were collected for the same but for two diagnostic study 1, as thin smear on slides for microscopy and on FTA cards for DNA extraction however, I wished to first gather my samples before proceeding for the molecular detection in reference laboratory abroad. I wished to know for how long can my samples remain safe?
