Nand Garg 3 1 CCS Haryana Agricultural University,Hisar, HISAR, HARYANA, India, 2 CCS Haryana Agricultural University,Hisar, HISAR, India, 3 CCS Haryana Agricultural University,Hisar, HISAR, Haryana, India Background: Ureaplasma diversum, a bovine species was first isolated by Taylor Robinson and co-workers in 1967 from cattle. The genital ureaplasmosis in cows occurs in various clinical forms viz. urethritis, endometritis, salpingitis, granular vulvoveginitis, abortion and neonatal calf mortality leading to temporary or permanent infertility. Methods: During present study, a mycoplasmological examination of cervico-vaginal swabs/vaginal discharges from 136 cows including 86 with various reproductive disorders (22 anoestrus, 25 repeat breeder, 6 cervicitis, 17 metritis, 16 abortion/still-birth) and 50 apparently healthy cows was conducted.The U-9B liquid medium was used for isolation of Ureaplasmas. Invitro antibiotic sensitivity of ureaplasmal isolates against ten selected antibiotics was performed at first stage of their cultivation in U-9B colour test liquid medium. Results: The mycoplasmological examination of cervico-vaginal swabs/vaginal discharges from 136 cows including 86 with various reproductive disorders and 50 apparently healthy cows resulted in isolation of 14Ureaplasma species along with 11 Mycoplasma and 8 Acholeplasma.The incidence of mollicutes was was found higher in genitally diseased cows 929.07%) as compared to apparently healthy cows (16%). The prevalence of Ureaplasma diversum was more in repeat breed cow (20%) than anoestrus (9.8%), cervicitis and metritis (4.9%). However, noUreaplasma strain was isolated from abortion cases. The concentration of nine strains of Ureaplasma isolated from cows with various reproductive disorders and 5 from apparently healthy ranged between 5x102 to 5x104ccu/ml. All the test strains of Ureaplasma, were found sensitive for lincospectin and resistant to ampicillin. However, variable resistance was shawn by 6 isolates to tetracycline, 4 isolates to enrofloxacin, spiramycin and chloramphenicol, 3 isolates to tylosin and erythromycin and one isolate to tiamutin and sparfloxacin. Conclusion: All the fourteen strains of Ureaplasma isolated from cows with various reproductive disorders show multiple drug resistance against tested antibiotics.

DEDMON 1 , D. Briggs 2 , T. Lembo 3 , S. Cleaveland 3 1 Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, USA, 2 Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine, Manhattan, KS, USA, 3 University of Glasgow, Glasgow, United Kingdom Background: Rabies causes 55,000 deaths annually, half of which are in children less than 15 years of age, and has the highest mortality rate of any infectious disease. It is both preventable and controllable. Economic impact of rabies in developing countries in Asia and Africa, where over 98% of all human rabies deaths occur from exposure to canine rabies, rises each year. Estimated annual human rabies prevention costs are about $800 million U.S. Even so, continuing vaccine and RIG shortages in countries with the highest incidence of rabies continue unabated, leaving the most vulnerable at greatest risk. New lyssavirus genotypes continue to be discovered in bats in Asia and Africa-needing continuing widespread surveillance globally. Burden of disease and suffering cannot be over-stated. Rabies victims in developing countries are often sent home to die, due to lack of treatment facilities and fear of the disease. Additionally, lack of surveillance and adequate control measures have enabled rabies spread to previously rabies-free areas (e.g recent outbreak in Bali leading to human rabies deaths). Methods: Literature review-MesH rabies, monoclonals, vaccine, epidemiology, surveillance Meeting abstracts 2008-09 Results: Recent advances in rabies prevention and control strategies: 1. New vaccine both for humans and animals. Molecular biology has brought new understanding to lyssavirus evolution, to possible new reduced vaccine schedules, and to an effective substitute for equine or human rabies immunoglobulin through the development of promising monoclonal antibodies now in clinical trials. Oral animal vaccines have been developed using human adenovirus as the rabies G-Protein carrier. 2. Diagnosis of rabies in the field has been made posible via the dRIT light microscope immunohistochemical test. 3. GIS systems and computer modeling have improved rabies surveillance. 4.Partners for Rabies Control has developed an action blueprint for controlling rabies in developing countries. 5. Substantial funding from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is targeted to studues if dog rabies elimination in Tanzania,Kuazulu-Natal, and the Philippines. 6. A registered charity in the U.K. and U.S., the Alliance for Rabies Control, has become a beacon for rabies education and prevention. Conclusion: Rabies is both preventable and controllable-many challenges, but brighter future!
