Not AvailableA total of 90 animals each of both Tho-Tho and cross bred cattle were screened for the presence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in and around the locality of Nagaland during the year of 2012-13. Among strongyle parasites, recorded parasites were Trichostrongylus, Haemonchus, Oesophagostomum and Cooperia species in both Tho-Tho cattle as well as cross bred. However, occurrence of Toxocara vitulorum and Bunostomum and Eimerian species were also recorded from calves. Among tapeworm infestation, M. benedeni was recorded in Tho-Tho and M. expansa was recorded in cross bred. As a whole, there was low level of subclinical infestation due to peculiar topography and climate of this region.Not Availabl

Not AvailablePresent study was conducted to determine the prevalence of fasciolosis in Mithun in different rearing conditions. The serum samples were collected from different geographical locations of Nagaland and Mizoram in free range conditions of rearing and from institute farm, serum sample were collected in semi intensive conditions. In the present study, no ova of Fasciola gigantica were recovered on faecal examination but attempts were made for studying the sero-prevalence of this parasitic infection in mithun. Seroprevalence of fasciolosis in mithun was recorded in free range conditions as well as in semi intensive conditions. Out of 156 animals tested, sera of 30 animals were found to be reactive in ELISA which yielded a percentage of 19.23%. Out of this 25.84% were recorded from free range conditions and 10.44% were recorded from semi intensive conditions. The lower prevalence in semi-intensive system may be due to the practice of regular deworming and better system of management. However, in free range condition, there is open access to metacercariae in natural grazing area of forest. The peculiar geography of north eastern hilly region and climatic conditions are mainly responsible for low prevalence of this infection in this region.Not Availabl

Not AvailableAn investigation was carried out to study the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in the local pigs of different villages in Phek district of Nagaland. The faecal sampling was done randomly from four villages of Phek district of Nagaland and a total of 80 animals were screened to find out presence of parasites in indigenous local pigs of this region. The recorded parasites were Ascaris suum (28.75%) followed by Eimerian spp. (16.25%), Strongyloides ransomi (10.00%), Strongyles (6.25%), Trichuris suis (6.25%), and Capillaria spp. (1.25%) respectively. Among the three age groups of pigs considered, there were significant differences (p<0.05) between these groups as well as among different species of parasites. However, in comparison to sex, there was no significant difference in occurrence between male and female.Not Availabl
