RECENTLY SIX ELEPHANTS DIED --?.. Due to….! AND HISTORY

 

I‘m given a comparative studies of elephants dead recently and previously

 

Female Elephant died in Karlapat

    On 15 February 2021 six elephants died of Haemorrhagic Septicaemia the causative agent is Bacteria Pasteurella multocida. Elephants died in Karlapat Wildlife Sanctuary in the Kalahandi district of Odisha.

Wildlife veterinarians on Sunday confirmed that all six animals died of haemorrhagic septicaemia or Pasteurellosis. The Pasteurella infects the respiratory tract and lungs of the animals resulting in severe pneumonia. It mainly affects water buffalo, cattle and bison, and has a high mortality rate among infected animals. Pasteurella causes a range of diseases in mammals and birds, cholera in poultry, rhinitis in pigs.

Elephants in Sanctuary

Wildlife sanctuary located in the Kalahandi districts of Odisha, covering an area of more than 175 square kilometers. According to the 2018 census the sanctuary had 17 elephants.

 

ON 2013 BANDIPUR TIGER RESERVE FOREST:
 

Asiatic elephants at Bandipur tiger reserve forest in Karnataka state, India. The forest had witnessed consecutive droughts from 2010 to 2012 and sudden heavy monsoon rains in 2013.

Twenty-three elephants died during this period of heavy rains between May and July 2013. The main cause for the expired of elephants is the Pasteurella multocida bacterium. After postmortem, reports say that there isolate P.multocida type B from Bone marrow sample of the femur bone of elephants. Reports revealed hemorrhagic tracheitis, hemorrhages on the heart, and lesions of acute septicemia in all other vital organs.

Elephants at Bandipur


Pasteurella multocida :

 

P.multocida is represents a heterogeneous of gram Negative bacteria and Zoonosis to Cellular Microbiology.
Pasteurella species are highly prevalent among animal populations, where they are often found as part of the normal microbiota of the oral, nasopharyngeal, and upper respiratory tracts of animals.

Zoonotic transmission to humans usually occurs through animal bites or contact with nasal secretions, with P. multocida being the most prevalent isolate observed in human infections.

Recent molecular study of P.multocida and structure:

Location: Bandipur Tiger Reserve, Gundlupet Taluk, Chamarajanagar District, Bandipur, Karnataka 571126, India

Fungi and its nature

                                 Fungi Who discover fungi ? Alexander Fleming Discovered  fungi in 1929, he is a  Scottish physician-scientist. Fleming discover Penicillium. At first he noticed the green mold of penicillin grown in culture dish of staphylococcus, in this way he discovered the Penicillium. What is fungi? Fungi are group of living Microorganism classified in their own kingdom, that means its neither not plants or animals or bacteria. Fungi are Eukaryotic organism such as yeast, molds, mushrooms, etc... Fungi are lack in photosynthesis, that means chlorophyll not present.  What are the types of fungi          The fungi are classified into 4 divisions. recently added one, 1. chytridiomycota   -   chytrids 2.Zygomycota        -   bread molds 3.Ascomycota        -   yeasts and sac fungi 4.Basidiomycota    -  club fungi 5. Phylum Glomeromycota What are the characteristics of fungi ? Heterotrophic: fungi needs energy so it depends on other plants and animals to grow this is k

  VIROLOGY:     The study of virus taxnomy, disease-producing properties, cultivation and genetics is know a Virology. " Martinus Beijerinck" is a father of virology. He discover virus or filtered infectious substance in Tobacco plant. " Walter Reed" Discover the first human virus in 1901. VIRUS : A Microorganism that is smaller than bacteria, that can grow and reproduce in other living cells. Virus are not made upof cells, they cannot keep themselves in a stable state, donot grow and cannot make their own energy. Virus can see under Electron Microscope or special type of microscope. CORONA VIRUS: Coronaviruses cause Acute, mild upper respiratory infection(common cold). STRUCTURE: v   Spherical or pleomorphic enveloped particles containing single-stranded of positive sense RNA(Mr 6 X 10 ⁶) associated with a nucleoprotein within a capsid comprised of matrix protein. v   The envelope bears club-shaped glycoprotein projections. v   SARS-CoV-2 which belong

Culture Media - BACTERIA

WHAT IS CULTURE MEDIA...?          Any Microorganism that need to grown in  a place with all suitable nutrients and environment is known as culture. like that bacteria  need to grow with suitable Culture Media.     Bacteria have to be grown or cultured for them to be identified as only rarely can they be recognized by  morphology alone. The study of bacteria involves the study of bacteria population rather than of single bacterial cells. In humans and animals bodies as well in another natural sources bacteria occur as mixed population. By appropriate procedures they have to be separated or isolated on culture media and grown as pure cultures for study.         The original media used by Lousie Pasture were liquids such as urine or meat broth.  Liquid Media: Liquid media have many disadvantage bacteria growing in liquid media may not exhibit specific characteristics for their identification. it is also difficult to isolate different types of bacteria from mixed population using liquid m
