Helicobacter pylori is a stomach bug that causes very serious stomach problems. This gram-negative bacterium has thirty-five different species in the Helicobacter genus, and some of these can be found in the gut lining. People with low economic status have a significant rate of infection. This chapter discusses the history, virulence factors, and m...

Helicobacter pylori is well known all around the globe due to its infection. Most studies on the prevalence of H. pylori have been conducted in China, but H. pylori is more prevalent in less developed countries like Myanmar and Bhutan, where prevalence rates are 90.7% and 91.8%, respectively. There are different factors that are linked with Helicob...

The present study describes the haematological profile, feeding preference, and comparison of morphometric characters of blue rock pigeon (Columba livia) breeding pairs. For this purpose, 25 pairs (25 samples per sex) were sampled through Mist nets from district Okara and Bahawalnagar, Punjab, Pakistan. Birds were then anaesthetized with a combinat...

Baya weaver is found in floodplains of Pakistan and is famous for building retort shaped hanging nests. For this study, 24 samples of baya weaver (twelve from both sexes) were collected from the wild habitat to analyze morphometry, haematology, and gut contents. Morphometric parameters e.g., body weight was measured with the help of a weight balanc...

Food consumption is increasing due to rapid population growth. Fish is one of the most important animal foods, providing a high amount of energy in the form of proteins, essential amino acids, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Antibiotics are used to control several pathogens that harm fish. However, the use of antibiotics in fish causes numerous...

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the gut content and record morphometric and hematological parameters in the common hoopoe (Upupa epops). Materials and Methods: Twenty samples of healthy birds (10 from each sex) were collected from different locations in Okara District, Punjab, Pakistan, from September 2020 to March 2021. Birds we...

Riverine water is continuously polluted due to release of domestic and industrial wastes. Among them heavy metals pollution is major issue in aquatic habitats which cause toxicity to animal models. In present study, some heavy metals viz; copper, nickel, cadmium, chromium, lead and iron were recorded in water, sediments and organs of Labeo calbasu...

Reasonable evidences suggest that heavy metal pollutants have been added by factories and other industries to our local water bodies. The present study was conducted to determine the heavy metal (zinc and lead) concentrations in muscle tissues of Labeo rohita inhabiting local water bodies as well as those being raised at farms. Sampling was perform...
