But only a few detailed studies and sporadic case reports are available on the prevalence of parasites in captive wild animals, and the knowledge of parasites and parasitic diseases in wild animals is still in its infancy. The family felidae comprises the subfamily felinae and pantherinae, and within those are all large and small cats. Most of the available reports on parasites in felids describe helminthic infections, which caused morbidities and occasional mortalities in the infected animals. The parasites most frequently found include the nematodes Toxocara, Toxascaris, Baylisascaris, Strongyloides, Gnathostoma, Dirofilaria and Galonchus, the trematode Paragonimus and the cestodes Echinococcus and Taenia. Almost all the studies identified the parasitic stages by classical parasitological techniques and only a few new studies confirmed the species using molecular techniques. Amongst the protozoan parasitic infections reported in felids: babesiosis, trypanosomiasis and coccidiosis are most commonly found.

    LAW MANTRA THINK BEYOND OTHERS (I.S.S.N 2321- 6417 (Online) Ph: +918255090897 Website: journal.lawmantra.co.in E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] INGRESSION OF WOMEN IN PLACES OF WORSHIP AN EQUALITY DIMENSION Abstract:- The bans such as women’s entry into temples involve notions and norms which directly clash with ideas of modernity and are also incompatible with rights enshrined in the Constitution. In a secular country like India, which promises to protect the rights of its citizens to practice religion and faith of his or her choice, rulings such as banning menstruating women to enter places of worship by priests are a violation of their rights. Women’s groups and organizations have come forward and challenged this whole notion of “purity-impurity” and are protesting against this unjust ruling by the temple heads in the name of god, religion, culture and practices. It seems that there is an increasing interest and inclination towards religion, and worship of gods and goddesses in recent years. This paper brings to limelight the violative provisions of law as a result of this unjust practice. Further, the paper will contrast certain cases with judicial responses on the related issues. Introduction: Human Rights these days is the most commonly debated topic, be it nationally or internationally. Those are rights that an individual possesses by virtue of being human and when the term human is used it should include both men as well as women, because it has become immensely important to understand that women also have these human rights because gender equality is there in the very core concept of human rights.
