Background: Trichostrongylus is one of the most important nematodes infecting animals and humans. The current study was designed to identify the Trichostrongylus species infecting goats by multiplex PCR and phylogenetic analysis. Methods: A total of 124 goats' viscera were collected from different abattoirs of Mymensingh division. Trichostrongyl...

Fascioliasis is one of the most common foodborne zoonotic infection of ruminants in Bangladesh. To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of fascioliasis and extent of liver damage, 825 livers of sheep and goats were randomly inspected during onsite slaughterhouse visiting in Naogaon, Natore, Rajshahi and Joypurhat districts. The overa...

Objectives The study aimed to detect Neospora caninum by nested PCR (nPCR) in aborted fetuses of cattle, sheep, and goats in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods The head portion of each aborted fetus (111) was dissected at each sampling site and transferred to the laboratory in an ice box. Data on risk factors associated with N. caninum infection we...

Toxocara vitulorum is one of the deadliest parasite of buffalo calves in Bangladesh. This study was conducted to explore genetic variability within and among the T. vitulorum populations in buffalo calves of Bangladesh. Genomic DNA was extracted, ITS2, COX1 and NAD1 gene were amplified and sequenced. Distinct 29 ITS2, 21 unique NAD1 and 24 COX1 gen...

Bovine anaplasmosis is an infectious, tick-borne disease caused by Anaplasma species, which is accountable for huge economic loss in dairy industry. This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of bovine anaplasmosis on randomly selected 61 commercial dairy farms in 3 intensive regions of Bangladesh. A total of 1472 sera were analysed using...

Black Bengal goat (BBG) is a native breed of Bangladesh and its ability in reducing the establishment of H. contortus infection through cellular and immune responses was unexplored. In vitro larval motility in response to PBMC, in vivo larval infectivity assay, differential blood cell counts, histopathology, cytokine and transcription expression ha...

The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans has significantly advanced several biological fields like developmental biology and neuroscience due to its simple morphology, facilitating precise investigations into neural circuitry. Its extensive genetic and molecular study has provided invaluable data for genetic manipulation and loci mapping. The biol...

Introduction Avian influenza is one of the major public health concerns worldwide. Eight human cases of influenza A H5N1 and three A H9N2 have been reported in Bangladesh since 2008. Most of these human cases were connected to poultry slaughtering or handling. Slaughtering of poultry infected with the avian influenza virus (AIV) can generate aeroso...

Nematode infections impact human and livestock health mostly in developing nations. Anthelmintic resistance in nematode has become a global issue. Caenorhabditis elegans is emerging as a useful model system to uncover anthelmintic potential of novel compounds and offers high throughput screening (HTS) that is not possible with parasitic nematodes....

Gastrointestinal nematode parasitism is the greatest problem facing small ruminant livestock, largely due to development of anthelmintic resistance. Of particular concern, hematophagous nematodes of the family Trichostrongylidae (Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Nematodirus) are common etiologic agents for this economically important disease. Developm...

Fasciola gigantica is a food-borne zoonotic trematode that affect around 80% livestock of Bangladesh. Many flukicides are being used in Bangladesh, however 120 flukes had been recovered from a single goat liver in spite of treatment. This indicates possibility of drug resistance in flukes. This study aimed to explore the flukicidal resistance in F....

The present study is the first molecular characterization of T. vitulorum based on COX1 and ITS2 gene amplification in Bangladesh which is essential for an in-depth understanding of T. vitulorum epidemiology and infection status. Phylogenetic analysis of COX1 and ITS2 gene of T. vitulorum revealed that all T. vitulorum genotypes produced in this st...

Toxocariasis is a paramount parasitic disease having > 50% prevalence among newborn buffalo calves in Bangladesh. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of clinically used anthelmintics and their subsequent effect on the haematological parameters and body weight in buffalo calves in commercial buffalo farms in coastal region. Thirt...

. Fish-borne zoonotic parasites are a rapidly increasing health hazards for human in all over the world. There is a scarcity of information on the fish-borne zoonotic parasite infection in Bangladesh. The present study was aimed to investigate fish-borne helminth parasites in Bhola district. A total of 300 fresh fish samples were collected randomly...

The widespread and indiscriminate use of antimicrobials in food animals is a key contributor to antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial residue, which have become a growing public and animal health concern in developing countries such as Bangladesh. This study was aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of large-animal farme...
