Treatment of Bovine papillomavirus-induced teat warts in a cow by using Podophyllin magistral formula and autologous vaccine applications together

In this study, a 32-month-old Holstein cow that had a calving and common Bovine papillomavirus (BPV)-induced wart on its teats was treated. For this purpose, BPV antigen presence in blood serum sample from the animal was studied by ELISA and was revealed as positive. Magistral drug containing podophyllin active substance was applied topically on teat warts of the animal. Applications were performed for all teat warts once in three days during 27 days. Eight hours after applying the drug, teats were washed with sterile water. Warts on teat were proved to have regressed and dried out on the day 27th. The same animal was given papilloma autologous vaccine prepared from warts coming off from the teat on the day 28th. As a result of the vaccination, teats showed full recovery from warts. Finally, it is recommended that using podophyllin formulations topical and autologous vaccine applications together in treating teat warts caused by BPV.

Epidemiology of duck as reservoir of Avian Influenza Virus in Bangladesh

This research work was conducted to detect the prevalence and incidence of Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) in Duck at hoar area of Kishorganj district in Bangladesh. The study period was July 2013 to December 2013 and the molecular work was done in Central Disease Investigation Laboratory (CDIL), Dhaka. A total number of 736 blood serum sample and 150 cloacal swab sample were collected from asymptomatic semi scavenging duck above 4 month of age. Blood serum sample was tested to detect the prevalence of Avian Influenza Virus A (AIV) specific antibody through indirect Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Essay (ELISA) and cloacal sample was tested to detect the incidence of AIV through real time Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR). A total number of 736 blood serum sample were tested in which 684 is positive (+ve) of Avian Influenza type A antibody and 52 are negative (-ve) of Avian Influenza type A. The prevalence rate was 92.93%. The tested result shown that prevalence rate was in 4-6 month of age as 93.96%, as 7-9 month of age as 92.92 % and in 10-12 month of age as 91.91%. A total number of 15 pooling sample from 75 cloacal samples was conducted for detection of AIV that shed in environment. After calculating the result through real time Reverse Transcription (RT) - PCR, it was shown that 2 pooling sample was positive (13.33%) for AIV and 13 pooling sample was negative (86.87%) for AIV. So incidence rate was 13.33% for AIV. This duck can transmit the AIV in the surrounding poultry population and clinical outbreaks may occur. After analysis of ELISA & PCR result it was shown that duck act as a natural reservoir of AIV in Bangladesh.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. March 2018, 4(1): 14-20

PEMBUATAN DAN KARAKTERISASI ELEKTRODA SELEKTIF ION Pb2+ JENIS KAWAT PERAK TERLAPIS DENGAN IONOFOR 1,10-DIBENZYL-1,10-DIAZA-18-CROWN-6

Lead concentration greater than 10 µg/L make health problem among other thing decrease in intelligence, nervous system disorders, so lead rapid analysis with high accuracy and precision is needed. The aim of this research are to know the composition of ESI-Pb2+ membrane silver wire coated type PVC/1,10-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6, optimum pH condition and to study the characteristic electrode, such as Factor Nernst, range measurement, limit detection, accuracy and precision, selectivity, and blood serum sample accuracy. The result has shown that potensial measurement with Ag/AgCl reference electrode give the best membrane composition of 45 mg PVC, 90 mg NPOE, 10 mg KTCPB, 5 mg 1,10-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 in 0,5 ml THF solution. The optimum pH is 3-7 and gave 29,64 mV as Factor Nernst with range measurement 10-1–10-6 M, limit detection was noted at 1,28.10-6 M, and accuracy is 73% - 157% in 10-6–10-1 M Pb2+ solution with variation coefficient 0,70–1,2. The selectivity constanta is K_(i,j)^Pot < 1 toward K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, Cu2+ dan Fe3+ as interfering ions. Recovery percentage of Ion Selective Electrode Pb2+ silver wire coated type with PVC /1,10-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 to blood serum sample has shown 95% - 143% and 110%-117% compare with AAS.
