Serological examinations of slaughtered animals (cattle and goats) in the slaughter-house of Colombo/Sri Lanka towards antibodies against brucellosis, Q-fever, RMSF-rickettsia-group, listeriosis, echinococcosis and adenoviruses.

Serological examinations of slaughtered animals (76 cattle and 184 goats) in the slaughter-house of Colombo/Sri Lanka revealed antibodies against Listeriosis, Brucellosis, Q-fever, RMSF-Rickettsia-group, Echinococcus and Adenoviruses. As the results show, part of this zooanthroponosis has a role to play in human medicine and human infections are to be expected.

Additional human Q-fever studies on the Cape Verde Islands--2nd report.

The MAR-test results including titer levels of 1:4 and higher revealed 92% positive reactions in the district of Santa Cruz/Santiago and 77% positive reactions in 6 villages of Santo Antao. The submitted examinations prove the agent Coxiella burnetti's existence responsible for different clinical pictures observed on the Cape Verde Islands.

The application of PVP-iodine in developing countries.

In this report the possibilities for the application of PVP-iodine-preparations in the developing countries in the treatment of wounds, including burns and in diseases of the mucous membrane, eyes, mouth and genital region are discussed. The application proved particularly valuable where a high antibiotic resistance was found.

Serological investigation of measles (morbilli) in the Melut district, South Sudan.

In Sudan, measles are often not identified and are diagnosed and treated as "fever". Apart from this, the unimmunized population is an important factor, however, cold storage of the vaccine is not always possible. For this reason detailed instruction and introduction in diagnostic identification was given by our team of doctors. The contamination rate and antibody verification varies according to region. The highest percentage of 83% was reached in Melut among hospitalized patients. At the time of our investigation, immunization had not been carried out in this region.

WHO immunization programme and hospital procedure in the Melut district, upper Nile region, south Sudan, in the year 1983 (report).

During the year 1983 the immunization programme according to the WHO-standard was finally started in the Melut region. The tables give details on the extension of tetanus immunization for neonatal tetanus, DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) and also measles in the Melut hospital in 1983. For the first time, a functioning chain of cold storage units could be installed in this hospital. From March to November, 1983 details of mother-child care and ambulant patient care were also recorded.

Serological investigations in Q-fever and listeriosis of wild-living small mammals on the Cape Verde Islands.

Serological investigations of small mammals had been made on the Island Santiago (Cape Verde Islands), to clear up how far synantropic, small mammals are reservoir hosts for pathogens, such as Coxiella burnetti and Listeria monocytogenes. 367 small mammals representing two species (Rattus rattus and Mus musculus) were trapped. Q-fever antibodies were detected in 155 of 350 examined rats and mice (44.29%). 18.89% of all tested sera showed positive results to Listeria-antigen, serovar 4bH, 5.48% to 4b0 and 9.75% to 01.

Problems related to the treatment of drinking water in tropical climates.

A study on the bacteriological quality of drinking water in a camp of an oil-company in Thiang Rial (South Sudan) showed that the filtered drinking water in the water storage containers contained distinctly higher colony counts (up to 10(6) colonies/ml) than the untreated water flowing approximately 20 meters from the bank of the White Nile (up to 10(4) colonies/ml), from where the water was pumped to the camp. The qualitative bacteriological analysis also confirmed that the untreated water from the Nile was of a better quality than the treated water in the camp. This decrease in quality of the water was due to secondary contamination between the filtration system and the consumer.

Serological examinations of dogs (Canis familiaris) in Colombo/Sri Lanka.

In Colombo/Sri Lanka wild dogs were investigated for various zoonoses. Based on the poor general conditions the contamination rate was relatively high. 27 of the 30 dog sera reacted positive against Listeriosis. 17 of the 29 samples reacted against Q-fever in low titers, however, because of the highly purified antigen used these are evaluated as positive. The contamination rate was 100%. 18 sera reacted positive against the RMSF-group antigen. 14 samples reacted positive against Chlamydiasis. 17 samples reacted positive against Echinococcosis and in the Brucellosis samples 3 were positive. 7 positive reactions were found against Adenovirus.

Antibiotic spectrum of isolated germs in the vaginal smear of Nigerian women.

The bacteriological research of 534 vaginal smears of pregnant women and patients of the gynaecological ward in Abeokuta showed in 21.6% beta-hem. Streptococcus group D, in 10.9% Staphylococcus epidermidis, in 5.3% Escherichia coli, in 3.6% Staphylococcus aureus, in 1.3% beta-hem. Streptococcus group B and in 7.8% yeasts. 48% of all smears remained sterile. The antibiotics with the least effect were Tetracyclines and Penicillines. Trimethoprim and Sulfonamid, Ticarcillin and Netilmycin were able to prevent the bacterial growth by at least 89%. Isolated germs of private patients showed higher resistance against Tetracycline and Chloramphenicol than those of non-private patients.

Serotyping of Salmonella strains in south-west Nigeria: epidemiological aspects.

In June 1986, 216 stool samples from Abeokuta (Ogun State, Nigeria) were examined for Salmonella. The samples were taken from people of all age groups: 162 samples were diarrheal. Salmonella could be isolated in nine samples (4.16%). The high prevalence of Salmonella among children under the age of 5 was striking; seven out of 79 samples (8.86%) were positive. The following serotypes were identified: S.mbandaka, S.gold coast, S.durham, S.antsalova, S.wippra, S.agama and S.isangi. S.agama and S.durham were also identified from household wall lizards which are an important reservoir for Salmonella in West Africa.
