Research on Brucellosis Disease in Pakistan
Dr. Sumera Malik conducted a study on Servoprevelance of Brucellosis Disease. Moreover, she conducted this research in Jhang for better strategy for the Control of Brucellosis in cattle. Besides cattle, this disease also affects sheep, goat, camels, dogs and humans. Furthermore, this disease has zoonotic importance as brucellosis in humans is also important. Besides brucellosis treatment, brucellosis symptoms is important. On the other hand, brucellosis diagnosis is the primary factor. Moreover, this study is highly important for the policy maker. The base of this study is real time data. This study was the part of MPhil research at CVAS Jhang. Discussion in this story elaborates the all aspects in details. بروسیلوسس

Brucellosis Disease
Brucellosis is a dangerous and zoonotic disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Due to this, along with economic losses, there is also economic distress. It is a disease caused by gram-negative bacteria that affects sheep, goats, cows, buffaloes and others. These views were expressed by Dr. Samira Malik, an MPhil student of the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Jhang.
Types of Brucellosis Disease and Different Names
She said that there are four types of disease. Among them, Brucella melitensis causes disease in sheep and goats, Brucella suis causes disease in pigs. B. abortus affects cows and buffaloes and B. canis affects dogs etc.
Dr. Samira said that Brucellosis disease in animals is known by different names such as Epizoetic Abortion, Slinking of Calves, Enzootic Abortion, Contagious Abortion and Ram Epididymitis etc. The most famous name used in animals is Epizoetic Abortion. Like animals, this disease has several important effects in humans, which cause Undulant fever, muscle pain, arthritis, fibrosis and liver edema.
Symptoms of Brucellosis Disease in Animals
Mentioning the symptoms of the disease in animals, he said that they include miscarriage, index miscarriage, ovarian swelling and infertility, swelling of male animals, Orchitis and Epididymite. He said that Brucella can enter the body through semen, amniotic fluid, lungs and pregnancy, which can be transmitted to any other organ through milk, scrapings and the ciliary system, from where the fibrosis and uterus are affected and pregnancy is lost.
Diagnosis of Brucellosis Disease
It can be done in many ways, but the best is ELISA. The results of the screening test can be False Positive or False Negative, it can be treated with antibiotics.
Economic Impacts of Brucellosis Disease in Animals
Dr. Samira said that the losses caused by brucellosis in animals are very significant, which has the property of reducing productivity, it is a big setback in areas where sheep and goats are bred and you may have to face losses in terms of prayer.
Brucellosis in Pakistan
Talking about the results of recent research, he said that the effects of Brucella melitensis were seen. Regarding the seroprevalence, he said that the seroprevalence of this disease in Jhang was found to be 5.55 percent. When an animal falls ill, its productivity suffers a huge setback, along with which the productivity is halved.
Dr. Samira said that in Pakistan, this disease is called Coxiellosis, it is a type of fever that is called Q Fever in humans. Its symptoms are also similar to brucellosis, in which the losses are very significant, he said that samples were taken during research in the microbiology laboratory for this project. He said that the effects of selenium nanoparticles and Mannan Oligosaccharides in the diet for rearing broilers in a limited area were observed.
Management of Brucellosis
However, in case of managing the situation, along with brucellosis, coxsackievirus should also be taken into account. For this, the root cause of the disease should be reached through local tests and ELISA so that proper treatment can be done. Identification of the correct link can lead to proper treatment and the remaining animals can be protected.
He mentioned the importance of this area and said that it will help us know about the spread of the disease in other areas of Pakistan. Thanks to the data obtained in this study, effective strategies can be formulated to prevent the disease. He thanked his teachers, local farmers and veterinary practitioners for their cooperation in collecting field data during the study. The data obtained increased awareness among farmers and veterinary practitioners about the disease, especially the experience in diagnosing B. melitensis.
Dr. Samira stressed that it is very important to control this disease due to its economic and reproductive importance, health in small areas will also be preserved and production losses will be minimal. Awareness will also be given to livestock keepers to save farmers and scoping tests will be conducted and kept away from other animals to prevent the disease from spreading to other places.
Dr. Samira Malik thanked the coordinator and assistants. She said that controlling this epidemic is very important for animal as well as human health. She also thanked all the microbiology teachers for this project.
