Incidence and modulating effects of environmental factors on infectious diseases of black bengal goat in Cox’s Bazar district of Bangladesh

Bangladeş’in Cox Pazar bölgesindeki Sadar Veteriner Hastanesinde keçiler arasında farklı doğal enfeksiyonların klinik kayıtları, hastalık eğilimleri, yağmur, relatif nem ve ortalama günlük ısının hastalık oluşumundaki etkisini belirlemek için bir yıl boyunca dikkatlice incelenmiştir. Erkek ve dişi keçiden oluşan 1086 vakadan %46.72 ve %46.87’si PPR, %20.56 ve %15.63’ü pneumoni, %14.02 ve %20.83’ü diyare, %6.54 ve %5.2’si de coccidiosis olarak ayrı ayrı tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular, PPR için belirgin bir seviyede daha az bir tedavi uygulandığını göstermektedir. I. (Mart-Haziran), II. (Temmuz- Ekim) ve III. (Kasim-Subat) sezonda gelişen oğlakların mortalite oranları sırası ile %14.7, %40.6 ve %19.4 olarak tespit edilmiştir. PPR ve bronkopneumoni, III. sezonda diğer sezonlara göre daha yüksek olmuştur. Öte yandan diyare sezon I’de, coccidiosis ise sezon II’de daha yüksek seviyede tespit edilmiştir.

Bangladeş’in Cox Pazar bölgesinde siyah bengal keçilerinin enfeksiyöz hastalıkları üzerine çevre faktörlerinin insidensi ve değişen etkileri

Clinical records on natural infections of various diseases among goats at Cox`s Bazar Sadar Veterinary Hospital in Cox&#8217;s Bazar district of Bangladesh were scrutinized for one year to determine disease trends and modulating effects of rainfall, relative humidity and mean daily air temperature on disease occurrence. From 1086 cases, male and female goats were accounted as 46.72% and 46.87% due to PPR, 20.56% and 15.63% due to pneumonia, 14.02% and 20.83% due to diarrhoea, 6.54% and 5.2% due to coccidiosis respectively, indicating a significantly lower treatment figure for PPR (p<0.05). The mortality rate of the growing kids in season-I (March to June), season-II (July to October), season-III (November to February) were 14.7%, 40.6% and 19.4%. PPR and bronchopneumonia were found higher in season-III than other seasons whereas diarrhoea in season-I and coccidiosis in season-II were higher.
