Accepted: 29/09/2015 Abstract Trypanosoma evansi and T. theileri are the two species of trypanosomes recorded from Karnataka state. The former one is the common species of livestock, dogs and zoo animals, but the latter was rarely reported from bovines. Only low infection rate of clinical cases of T. evansi in bovines was observed based on routine staining of blood smears. The efficacy of wet s...

BACKGROUND Taenia solium cysticercosis is a zoonotic neglected disease responsible for severe health disorders such as seizures and death. Understanding the epidemiology of human cysticercosis (HCC) in endemic regions will help to expose critical information about the transmission of the disease, which could be used to design efficient control programs. This review gathered serological data on ...

BACKGROUND Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of even-toed ungulates. Serological diagnosis/surveillance of FMD presents several problems as there are seven serotypes worldwide and in the event of vaccination it may be necessary to be able to identify FMD infected/exposed animals irrespective of their vaccination status. The recent development of non-structural 3A...

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is affecting more people globally. Indeed, NAFLD a spectrum of metabolic dysfunctions that can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC). This development occur in non-cirrhotic and thus, often lack clinical surveillance. The aim this study was develop non-invasive surveillance method for NAFLD-HCC. Methods: Using comprehensive u...

This thesis focuses on measurements of toroidal rotation and impurity profiles in improved plasma scenarios and in the presence of MHD activity. These experiments were performed on TCV, the Tokamak à Configuration Variable in Lausanne. In TCV, plasma rotation is measured by the charge exchange recombination spectroscopy diagnostic (CXRS). The CXRS is associated with a low power diagnostic neutr...

Cysticercosis is a neglected zoonotic disease attributable to infection with the metacestode larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium. Humans are the sole final hosts, carrying the adult tapeworm in the intestine (taeniosis). Pigs are the main intermediate host, but humans also may accidentally get infected through the ingestion of T. solium eggs (shed in human feces) that later develop into ...
