Abstract:
Glanders, a bacterial disease of equines caused by Burkholderia mallei, is a fatal infectious disease of equines and has zoonotic significance. The disease has been eradicated from many countries by statutory testing, elimination of infected animals and import restrictions. However, it is still endemic in parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Central and South America. In India, major glanders outbreaks were reported from different parts of the country between 1976 and 1982. Later, sporadic cases of the disease were reported in 1988, 1990 and 1998. The country remained free of glanders for about eight years until the recent outbreaks occurred in eight States from 2006 to 2007. Recurrent episodes have occurred in Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, whereas fresh outbreaks occurred in Chhattisgarh from 2009 to 2010. A total of 164 equines were declared positive; a majority of the positive cases (n=77) were from Uttar Pradesh, followed by Maharashtra (n=23), Uttarakhand (n=21) and Andhra Pradesh (n=16). Under the provision of Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Disease in Animals Act, 2009, all the infected animals were euthanised and bio-security measures were implemented to curb the further spread of the disease.Keywords:

Delivery care is crucial for both maternal and prenatal health.Increasing skilled attendance at birth is a central goal of safe motherhood and child survival.The main aim of this study is to identify whether place of delivery is changing over time.And also to assess the socio-economic and demographic factors influencing women's decision for choice of place of delivery in rural areas of Allahabad district of Uttar Pradesh.This study is conducted in 20 selected villages by using purposive random sampling.For this purpose 800 women belonging to age group of 15-49 years were surveyed during July 2015-June 2016.The result of the study shows that 51.3 per cent of deliveries have been taken place at health care institutions and only 48.7 per cent of deliveries took place at home.All women who had completed higher secondary education were preferred health care institutions for their delivery (during last birth).The key factors influencing choice of place of delivery is education, age at marriage, low standard living condition.Having a distant health center, lack of transportation and financial constraints are the other main reasons for choosing a home delivery.It concludes that trend of delivery at health institution is remarkably increased but there is found strong differentials in low socio-economic status of women.

The present study describes the Socio-economic Status of farmer of Sitapur district, Uttar Pradesh India. The study area was Maholi and Hargao Blocks of the Sitapurdistrict of Uttar Pradesh. The information was collected on the basis of personal interview to each of the farmer through a questionnaire. A total sample of 400 farmers was selected randomly from thirty different villages of two blocks during 2016-17. The study revealed that they are very poor farmers with low literacy and knowledge about agricultural methods and they growwheat or tomato, rice, sugarcane without any awareness about their improved management practices. By introducing facilities of modern technology, their socioeconomic standard can be increased.

Evolution of a laboratory based system for investigating outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease.
In 1995 Preston Public Health Laboratory introduced an incident logging system intended to improve the investigation of suspected outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease. A unique incident log (Ilog) number assigned and issued to the reporting individual and other interested parties when the laboratory is informed of a potential outbreak is used to identify all associated specimens submitted to the laboratory and is quoted in all communications about the incident. The results are reviewed formally each month. Between January 1995 and December 1998, 349 potential outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease were investigated, 325 of which were considered to be general outbreaks. Small round structured viruses were identified in 45% of these outbreaks, salmonellas in 8%, and no pathogens in 35%. Data from the national surveillance scheme for general outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease included 104 general outbreaks in 1996 and 1997 for the entire North West region, but our laboratory alone reported 184 general outbreaks during that period. The Ilog system is a simple and effective means for reviewing data from outbreaks, and helps to coordinate their investigation.
