Prevalence of Cysticercus tenuicollis cysts in sheep slaughtered at Sokoto abattoir, Sokoto state, Nigeria
MA Saulawa, AA Magaji, OO Faleke, AA Mohammed, AC Kudi, AI Musawa, A Sada, AN Ugboma, B Akawu, S Sidi, N Lawal & AU Ambursa Abstract A prospective study was conducted based on the principle of post mortem examination on sheep slaughtered at Sokoto abattoir for the presence of Cysticercus tenuicollis cysts. A total of 261 sheep were examined with 34 (13.03%) infected. Prevalence of infection increased with the age of the animals. Males had relatively higher prevalence than females. Infection was recorded in several visceral organs with omentum having the highest prevalence (35.29%) and the lungs the least(11.76%). The results suggest that C. tenuicollis is common and may constitute a health problem in sheep and a source of economic loss in the meat industry, thus emphasizing the need for proper meat inspection and handling of offals in the study area.

Oral choristoma in one and a half year-old ouda ewe: a case report
AA Abubakar, A Jibril, AS Yakubu & YS Baraya Abstract A one and a half year old ouda ewe was presented with a firm, solid mass on the inner lateral wall of oral cavity attached to the gingiva. Histopathological findings indicate oral choristoma. The condition was managed surgically by excising the mass, flushing the oral cavity with mild chlohexidine gluconate, administration of broad spectrum antibiotic, steroidal anti-inflammatory and multivitamin injection.

Sokoto Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 9(2):20-23 Serodiagnosis of hydatidosis in sheep slaughtered at Sokoto abattoir, Sokoto state, Nigeria
MA Saulawa, AA Magaji, OO Faleke, AA Mohammed, AU Junaidu, MD Salihu, AI Musawa, A Sada, LU Fakai, M Mohammed, A Bala, S Sidi & N Lawal Abstract Serological screening for hydatidosis was carried out on sheep slaughtered at the Sokoto abattoir, Northwestern Nigeria. A total of 186 serum samples obtained from randomly selected animals were analysed for antigen-antibody responses using Echinococcus granulosus IgG Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (RIDASCREEN®). Postmortem inspection for the presence of cyst was also carried out on the selected animals. The study did not observe any antigen-antibody reaction in any of the samples screened and no cyst was found at post-mortem inspection of the selected sheep. The zero prevalence recorded suggests the need to employ some other more sensitive diagnostic techniques to ascertain the result obtained in this study. |
