Definition of Swine Influenza Swine influenza is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza in pigs Influenza viruses that commonly circulate in swine are called “swine influenza viruses” or “swine flu viruses.” Like human influenza viruses, there are different subtypes and strains of swine influenza viruses The main swine influenza viruses are; swine triple reassortant (tr) H1N1 influenza virus trH 3 N 2 virus trH 1 N 2 virus Signs and Symptoms of Swine Influenza Fever Depression Coughing (barking) Discharge from the nose or eyes Sneezing Breathing difficulties Eye redness or inflammation, and going off feed Some pigs infected with influenza, however, may show no signs of illness at all Activity: Brainstorming What are the preventive and control measures for Swine dysentery ? Treatment, Prevention and Control of Swine Influenza There is no specific treatment, although antimicrobials may reduce secondary bacterial infections Vaccination and strict import controls are the only specific preventive and control measures Good management practices and freedom from stress, particularly due to crowding and dust, help to reduce losses. Key Points Swine influenza is a highly contagious viral infection of pigs Swine influenza is caused by influenza A viruses in the family Orthomyxoviridae It is characterised by fever, lethargy, anorexia, weight loss, nasal discharge, laboured breathing, coughing, sneezing, and nasal discharge An effective immunisation programme will likely need to induce protection against both H 1 and H 3 subtypes Evaluation What is Swine Influenza?

Definition of Saprolegnia Infection of Fishes It is a myocotic disease known to potentially may affect all fish species in fresh water like Tilapia, Clarias , Mugil and rainbow trout etc It is also infective to eggs The fungi of the genus saprolegnia are considered as secondary invaders of fish skin already damaged by abrasions and scale loss due to handling, netting, transfer and also skin lesions caused by ectoparasites notably by argulids Infections frequently occur on incubated eggs and newborn fry of rainbow trout in hatcheries Signs and Symptoms of Saprolegnia Infection of Fishes The fungal mycelium will also penetrate into the muscle beneath the dermis resulting in; Extensive necrosis of invaded tissues Oedema Extensive haemmorrhages Activity: Brainstorming • What are the treatment and preventive measures for Saprolegnia Infection of Fishes? Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Saprolegnia Infection of Fishes Malachite green oxalate (Zinc-free), Dip, bath or flowing, applied to ponds at 0.15 ppm at holding tanks at a dose of 0.10 – 0.20 ppm for 1 h Bath treatment, 0.1 ppm ‘Permanent’ Local (swab), 1% Precautions: Highly toxic to juveniles of some fish species and some eggs very sensitive, especially at early stage Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Saprolegnia Infection of Fishes Cont.…. Prevention measures include; Removing dead infected fish from the ponds Proper sanitation of the ponds Do not feed pets with raw fish Key Points The Saprolegnia fungus infects fish (or its eggs), affecting its internal organs and deeper tissues Symptoms include light gray , cottony growths on the skin, fins, gills, and eyes The Saprolegnia fungal infection is caused by having an unclean environment containing dead and decaying organic matter Treatment of the Saprolegnia infection is accomplished by medicating the water with potassium permanganate, after removing skin pathogens Evaluation What is Saprolegnia Infection of Fishes?

NTA Level 6 • Semester 1 • PST06107 Pharmacotherapy of Cyanide Poisoning in Cattle and Goat Basic Veterinary Pharmacology • Source Session/Topic 42 Full source-text version: all educational wording from the extracted learning source is retained; only presenter/tutor metadata and web-layout noise are removed, while formatting is improved for readability. PST 06107 Basic Veterinary Pharmacology Session 42: Pharmacotherapy of Cyanide Poisoning in Cow and Goat Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: Define cyanide poisoning in cow and goat List signs and symptoms of cyanide poisoning in cow and goat Describe pharmacological treatment of cyanide poisoning in cow and goat Describe control and prevention of cyanide poisoning in cow and goat Activity: Buzzing • What is Aspergillosis in Dog? Definition of cyanide Poisoning in Cow and Goat Cyanogenic glycosides accumulate in some plants (e.g. Johnson grass, Sudan grass, Sorghum etc.,) whenever their cycle of vegetation is interrupted which happen when they wither after a sudden removal of water, after application of herbicides or under special climatic influences Cyanide interferes with oxygen transport to tissues Signs and Symptoms of Cyanide Poisoning in Cow and Goat Excitement Staggering Dyspnoea with tachycardia Cattle stand with their mouths wide open Salivation and frothy foam Nystagmus Lacrimation Muscle tremors and finally tonic- clonic convulsions and vomiting and death Activity: Brainstorming • What are the Treatment and Preventive measures for Cyanide Poisoning in Cow and Goat?? Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Cyanide Poisoning in Cow and Goat Initial Dose Sodium nitrite 10% (in distilled water or saline), 20 mg/kg, IV Maintenance Sodium thiosulfate 20%, ≥500 mg/kg, IV Sodium nitrite therapy may be carefully repeated at 10 mg/kg, q2-4 h or as needed, or Sodium thiosulfate ≥500 mg/kg, IV plus 30 g/cow, PO, to detoxify any remaining HCN in the rumen Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Cyanide Poisoning in Cow and Goat Prevention The best preventive step is to test suspect feed and/or pastures before allowing consumption Pasture and forage sorghums ( eg , Sudan grass and sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids) should not be grazed until they are >60 cm tall or have been proved by testing to have acceptable cyanide levels, to reduce danger from prussic acid poisoning Key Points In acute cyanide poisoning, cyanide ions (CN–) bind to, and inhibit, the ferric (Fe 3+) heme moeity form of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase This blocks the fourth step in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (reduction of oxygen to water), resulting in the arrest of aerobic metabolism and death from histotoxic anoxia The goal of treatment is to break the cyanide-cytochrome c oxidase bond and reestablish the mitochondrial electron transport chain Evaluation What is cyanide poisoning in Cow and Goat? What are the common signs and symptoms of cyanide poisoning in Cow and Goat? What is the pharmacological treatment of cyanide poisoning in Cow and Goat?
