| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to investigate the pathoprevalence of different infectious
diseases of goat at Sadar upazilla of Dinajpur district in Bangladesh. Infectious cases
were recorded with respect to breed, sex, age and season from Upazilla Veterinary
Hospital (UVH) and District Veterinary Hospital (DVH), Sadar, Dinajpur during July,
2014 to June, 2015 and diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical history, clinical
examinations and common laboratory techniques with histopathological examination. A
total of 2139 infectious diseases were founded and categorized by the causal agents
where the highest prevalence was observed in mixed infectious diseases (46.06%)
followed by viral diseases (28.93%), internal parasitic diseases (9.77%), external
parasitic diseases (8.42%), bacterial diseases (3.00%), protozoal diseases (2.01%) and
lowest was in fungal diseases (1.83%). The prevalence of infectious disease was
significantly higher at Jamunapari (55.12%) than Black Bengal (44.88%). Female goats
were more susceptible (54.32%) than male (45.68%). The prevalence was varied
according to age and highest was in G-1 (45.48%) followed by G-2 (36.48%) and G-3
(17.68%). Summer season (33.60%) was common for infections followed by winter
(33.51%) and rainy (32.89%). Most of the internal lesions were produced by the
endoparasitic infections which were examined microscopically. These results indicate
that, the prevalence of various infectious diseases in the goats was higher at, Dinajpur
Sadar thus, there is a need for an appropriate control measures in order to prevent and
minimize the loss caused by such diseases and this study may help to develop strategies
against the infectious diseases of goat. | en_US |
