  • Ectoparasitic Insects Genera of Veterinary Importance and Some Aspects of Their Control
    American Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Vol. 4, No. 4, 2018, pp. 116-123 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ajefm ISSN: 2381-6864 (Print); ISSN: 2381-6902 (Online) Ectoparasitic Insects Genera of Veterinary Importance and Some Aspects of Their Control Muhammad Sarwar 1, *, Arfa Rauf 2 1National Institute for Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering (NIBGE) , Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan 2Allied Hospital- Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan Abstract Agricultural animals (those used for production of food and fibre- livestock) and companion animals (pets such as dogs and cats) may be affected by arthropod pests. Insects as veterinary ectoparasites have a significant impact on the health, wellbeing and productivity of their animal vertebrate hosts. These impacts can be either direct, through tissue damage and blood loss, or indirect, through their role as vectors of viral, bacterial, protozoa and helminth pathogens. A second category of indirect effects are those that result from the alteration of host behaviour induced by arthropod attack and blood-feeding activity. So, the present article aims to contribute fundamental scientific knowledge in the areas of insects as veterinary ectoparasites and also the processes ensuring to the public for underlying the protection from biting and diseases borne. The insect ectoparasites include flies (Diptera), lice (Mallophaga), fleas (Siphonaptera) and bugs (Hemiptera). These insects have a profound impact on the health of animals by causing annoyance, inflicting bites and stings, and transmitting of diseases. Animals can be greatly annoyed by the presence and activity of certain insects. For example, cattle will bunch up and put their lowered heads together to seek relief when fly strike is severe; scratching may be symptoms of fleas or lice; and head shaking may indicate the presence of insects in ear.

  • A New Record of the Parasitic Beaver Beetle (Platypsyllus Castoris) (Coleoptera: Leiodidae) from Stavropol Territory (Russia)
    Available online at www.easletters.com Entomology and Applied Science ISSN No: 2349-2864 Letters, 2014, 1, 4:1-3 A new record of the parasitic beaver beetle (Platypsyllus Castoris) (Coleoptera: Leiodidae) from Stavropol Territory (Russia) S.V. Pushkin North Caucasian Federal University, Institute of Live Systems, Botany, Zoology and General Biology Department; 355009 (Stavropol), Russia Correspondence: [email protected] (Received: 12/8/14 ) (Accepted:2/10/14) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Platypsyllus castoris Ritsema, 1869 previously noted only in Voronezh Region is found in Stavropol area (Russia) for the first time. This species was collected not on beaver, for which it was cited earlier, but on river otter ((Lutra lutra meridionalis (Ognev 1931)) – rare species of the North Caucasian region. Key words : Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Platypsyllus castoris , Stavropol area Russia. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION In 2013, the hairline Caucasian otter ((Lutra lutra meridionalis (Ognev, 1931)) collected near Budennovska, Pyatigorsk; Stavropol Krai (Kuban river) were collected 2 female beaver beetles Platypsyllus castoris Ritsema, 1869. This is the third discovery of this interesting parasitic insect with the European part of the former USSR, distant to the south for 300 km from the first [12] and about 100 from the second [1]. Particular interest is the fact that this is the second in the European part of the finding of this species parasitic on the otter, and not on traditional host – beaver. MATERIALS AND METHODS The material gathered the standard zoological methods. In total 2 females of a species are collected. 5 otters are examined. During researches any animal has not suffered. The account of number of an otter in territory of Stavropol territory is in passing spent.

  • Parasitic Fauna of Eurasian Beavers (Castor Fiber) in Sweden (1997–1998)
    Åhlen et al. Acta Vet Scand (2021) 63:23 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-021-00588-w Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica RESEARCH Open Access Parasitic fauna of Eurasian beavers (Castor fber) in Sweden (1997–1998) Per‑Arne Åhlen1,3, Göran Sjöberg1* and Margareta Stéen2 Abstract Background: The parasitic fauna of beavers (Castor fber and C. canadensis) has been well studied in many parts of their respective areas of distribution. In Scandinavia there have, however, been limited investigations conducted on the parasites of beavers in recent times. The present study is the frst quantitative survey of parasites on beavers living in Sweden and elsewhere in Scandinavia. We investigated the parasitic fauna of the Eurasian beaver (C. fber) in a North–South gradient in Sweden. The aim of the study was to investigate parasite distribution and prevalence in particular, related to average yearly air temperature and diferent age groups of beavers. A total of 30 beavers were sampled at eight localities, spanning a 720 km North–South gradient during the springs of 1997 and 1998. Results: Five parasite taxa were identifed. Four of these were present in all of the examined beavers, Stichorchis subtriquetrus (trematode), Travassosius rufus (nematode), Platypsyllus castoris (coleopteran), and Schizocarpus spp. (arachnid). A higher number of new infections of S. subtriquetrus, and more adults of T. rufus, were seen in beavers in southern Sweden where temperatures are higher. One‑year old beavers had a higher infestation of S. subtriquetrus, but not of T. rufus, than older individuals. Conclusions: The parasite fauna of Swedish beavers mirrored the impoverished parasite fauna of the original Norwe‑ gian population, and the high prevalence of parasites could be due to low major histocompatibility complex (MHC) polymorphism.

THE BAR-KAYS Their Cedar Street gig ranged from 1990’s Dirty Dog Bar, March 19 classic Screamadelica (“Loaded”) to a thun- dering version of new single “Can’t Go Back.” Gillespie looked and sounded a full decade younger than the shorn, scrawny blowhard that staggered through his last Austin incarna- tion in 2000. With demon-green laser beams shooting over the sardine-tinned audience’s sea of raised hands, the Scream’s skintight renditions of classic hyper-rockers “Swastika Eyes” and “Miss Lucifer” twice resulted in a stage-front scrum that brought security into the crush. Encoring the 50-minute set with an electrifying version of “Rocks,” Gillespie and company exited slapping front-row flesh, grin- ning, laughing, and looking altogether pleased with their own beautiful future. – Marc Savlov LADY SOVEREIGN Club de Ville, March 20 AUBREY EDWARDS Beginning 20 minutes late, Lady Call it the Beale Street Invasion.

  • Nineteenth-Century American Medicine: the Implications of Professionalism, Capitalism, and Implicit Bias
    Nineteenth-Century American Medicine: The Implications of Professionalism, Capitalism, and Implicit Bias DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amy Gregg, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Maurice E. Stevens, Advisor Robert A. Buerki Christine Ballengee-Morris Copyright by Amy Gregg 2017 Abstract An examination of the history of medicine and pharmacy uncovers evidence of struggles among rival groups of practitioners in the process of establishing modern professional standards. Within these struggles, there is unmistakable evidence of bias during the nineteenth century that privileged the perspectives of the wealthy elite of American society. Drawing upon critical race theory, and the process of racialization as described by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, this dissertation explores the development of medicine and pharmacy in the United States during the nineteenth century with respect to their maturation as it relates to the struggle for authority between sectarian and allopathic practitioners. It focuses on the impact that implicit bias had on what was considered legitimate medicine and who was valued as an authentic physician. The work of Dr. Francis Peyre Porcher constitutes a significant illustration: Porcher’s fifty-year career as a medical practitioner, researcher, and influential writer represents a synthesis of his interests in botanic medicine and the most advanced medical practices of his day, which he learned from his studies at the Medical School of South Carolina and France’s Paris Clinic. The ensuing period from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century effectively sidelined practices such as botanic medicine as industrialization and capitalism institutionalized medicine and pharmacy into large corporations.
