Abstract

A total of 445 faecal samples and 128 rumens of sheep collected from Slaughter house, Mhow (Madhya Pradesh) were examined for a period of 1 year from February 2011 to January 2012. Faecal sample examination based, incidence of amphistomes was found to be 23.37% from the study area. The incidence of amphistomes was significantly higher (p < 0.01) during summer (36.75%) than winter (27.74%) and monsoon (3.52%). Age-wise, non-significantly higher infection was observed in ≥1 year-old animals (23.61%) than <1 year-old animals (23.11%). Non-significantly higher rate of infection was recorded in case of females (25.63%) than that of males (19.64%). Out of 128, 49 (38.28%) rumens were found positive for amphistomes. The prevalence of Paramphistomum cervi (27.34%) was found to be significantly (p < 0.01) higher than Gastrothylax crumenifer (10.94%).

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
