Project Farm, Ganganagar, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India in the month of December, 2013.
Out of 102 nos. of buffalo, 25 animals were affected and 17 were died within 12 - 72 hours. The disease
was diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical signs, post mortem findings, histopathological
examination, bacteriological study, biochemical tests, biological test, PCR assay and finally by Electron
microscopical examination. Antibiotic sensitivity test was done for the isolate. The ailing animals were
successfully treated with antibiotic, analgesic and corticosteroid. The epidemic was finally controlled
by therapeutic measures, immunization, restriction of movement of animals and proper disposal of
carcasses. |
