Newcastle Disease (ND) is a contagious viral disease of birds affecting many domestic and wild avian species. Even though vaccines and vaccination schedules are currently being employed in the prevention of the disease, prevention and control are still a problem in the poultry industry. This study was conducted at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U), Zaria and the aim was to determine the monthly, yearly and seasonal prevalence of ND diagnosed in the Avian Clinic of the VTH, A.B.U., Zaria. Case record files were collected, studied, and clinically diagnosed cases of ND for five years (2014-2018) were extracted. Diagnosis of ND was by history of the case, clinical findings and post mortem lesions observed. Results showed that out of 1,768 cases of poultry presented, 42.6% (754 cases) were confirmed via necropsy findings as ND. The highest number of cases of the disease was in June having a prevalence of 4.98% followed by March with a prevalence of 4.64% and July with a prevalence of 4.47%. The annual prevalence was highest in 2014 (14.82%). The cases of ND were observed to be higher in the pre-rainy season (April to June) with a prevalence of 12.33%. The environmental stress condition of these periods of the year was likely to be the main reason that potentiate and worsen the occurrence of ND at these periods. Also, stress condition suppresses the immune system of birds making them more susceptible to infection leading to an outbreak of disease. It is recommended to administer anti-stress before these periods in order to protect the birds from the disease.

Abstract · Background: A good knowledge of the epidemiology of diseases conditions of pet dogs and cats is essential for their prevention and control. Over a period of 5 years (2014 to 2019), a retrospective study was undertaken to establish the prevalence of clinical diseases and others clinical disorders in dogs and cats in Douala city, Cameroon, based on sex, breeds and age. Data were collected from clinical case records of dogs and cats admitted in six private veterinary clinics and analyzed using Chi-Square test statistics.· Results: A total of 2397 clinical conditions were recorded, among them dogs and cats were 2222 (92.7%) and 175 (7.3%), respectively. According to system affected, digestive disorders were found to account significantly (P<0.0001) for 58.3% of the diagnosed cases, followed by skin disorders (13.5%) and musculoskeletal disorders (13.1%). Fourty-six (46) types of clinical diseases were recorded involving nonspecific diseases (dogs 25.1% and cats 19.4%), viral diseases (dogs 16.8%), parasitic diseases (dogs 12.7% and cats 9.7%), protozoan diseases (dogs 2.7%) and bacterial/fungal diseases (dogs 1.4%). For dogs, the most occurring clinical diseases comprised parvovirosis (16%), helminthoses (8.2%), gastroenteritis (7.8%) and poisoning (7.8%), whereas pet cats showed highest prevalence of helminthoses (9.7%), poisoning (5.1%) and dermatitis (2.9%). The sex-wise highest prevalence was observed in male (dogs 67% and cats 59.4%) than female (dogs 33% and cats 40.6%) (p=0.009). Of the dog breeds, Cross breeds (31.7%), local breeds (24.02%) and German shepherd (13.1%) were mostly affected, while highest clinical diseases were found 96 (54.9%) in the local cat breed counterpart. Incidence of diseases were more in puppies (68.7%) and in young cats (75.5%) compare with other age groups.· Conclusions: Most of the clinical diseases/conditions recorded from this study were avoidable cases and they have greater public health significance, demanding veterinary support in order to prevent the risk of zoonosis. This study provides useful information about the major health problems of dogs and cats in Douala City. These results might help to instruct pet owners on preventive measures and to develop supplementary effective disease management and control strategies against pet animal diseases.

Aim: A retrospective study was undertaken to determine the occurrence, and the distribution of the most common clinical conditions of young dogs encountered at the National School of Veterinary Medicine clinic, Tunisia, from September 2012 to July 2013, based on sex, age, breeds, and season variation. Materials and Methods: A total of 515 cases were examined, and 11 clinical conditions were recorded. Clinical examination was performed. X-ray examination and necropsy were carried out only when needed. Results: Of the 515, 298 cases (57.86%) were male, while 217 (42.14%) were female. The breed-wise difference in the occurrence of various health problems was statistically significant. Nevertheless, no significant association was found between the occurrence of a disease and age. The commonly found clinical conditions were traumatic injuries (22.72%), ectoparasitic infections (20.58%), and gastroenteritis (13.40%). The occurrence of diseases was the highest (60.19%) in the wet season (September-February) followed by 39.81% in the dry season (March-July). Conclusion: The current study presents the first recorded data about the major clinical conditions of young dogs in Tunisia. These findings can be used to develop more effective disease management and control strategies.

A 15-year retrospective study was performed to determine the role of parasitic diseases in causing mortalities in small ruminants. In total, 115 (32 %) sheep were diagnosed as having been killed by parasitic diseases out of 366 that died as a result of disease. The major cause of mortality was helminthosis (63 %of all parasitic cases). Most of the helminthosis cases were attributed to haemonchosis (40 % of parasitic cases). Heartwater was the second most important parasitic disease (27 %of all parasitic cases). Ninety-five (26 %) goats were diagnosed to have been killed by parasitic diseases out of 365 cases presented at the post mortem facility. Helminthosis was the most frequent cause of mortality (55 % of the total parasitic diseases). Twenty-six goats were killed by haemonchosis (27 % of all parasitic diseases). Heartwater was the second most important parasitic disease, accounting for about 20 % of all parasitic diseases. These findings indicate that viable helminth and tick control strategies should be devised in order to reduce mortality caused by helminthosis and heartwater and thereby achieve improved productivity.
