APPENDIX I.
Section C—Summary.
(1) Nasal Granuloma.—The disease Nasal Granuloma due to S. nasalis
infection has been prevalent among the cattle of the districts of Midnapore, 24-
Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Burdwan, Bankura, Birbhum, Nadia and Mur-
shidabad. It has not been reported from the rest of the districts of West Bengal
presumably due to the difference in climate, surroundings, etc.
The clinical cases of Nasal Granuloma have been observed most towards the
latter part of winter and early spring.
Fifty per cent. of the specimens examined demonstrated S. nasalis eggs.
Fifty-seven per cent. of these positive samples were received from Midnapore
district. This district has been considered to be the most active stronghold of
the parasite in the State of West Bengal.
Broadcasting of Copper Sulphate along the banks of river, ponds, tanks, marshy
lands, etc., in order to keep the snails away from the grazing land has been
suggested as it is not practicable to treat all kinds of these vast natural and arti-
ficial water reservoirs. The drainage of the water-locked areas should also be
taken up simultaneously.
The organised rational mass-treatment drive of the animals of the affected
localities with the cheap chemotherapeutical agent of lesser toxicity, viz., Sod.
Antim. Tart., has been suggested in the already distributed localities for a period
of 5 years at the beginning.
(2) Rinderpest.—The mild reaction to G.T.V. inoculation has been observed
in 94 per cent. of previously unvaccinated cattle under plain condition only during
the routine mass-vaccination campaign of the Field Section. The annexures
attached herewith will speak in details.
(3) Haemorrhagic Septicaemia.—Cultures of West Bengal strain of P. Multo-
cida were locally made, the pure strain of the organism was successfully isolated
and the biochemic properties were duly verified. This pure culture has been con-
tributed to the stock of culture of Indian Veterinary Research Institute.
(4) Tuberculosis.—Several parties have been persuaded to concur for the
Tuberculin Test to be performed in their herd in the following year.
(5) Miscellaneous observations.—Besides the approved technical programme
the investigation of these additional items of rather casual nature were entertained
with as best care as possible.
(i) Blackquarter.—The incidences of Black-leg with strange cerebral
symptoms were investigated in Haringhata and Baranagore area. This uncommon
factor was guessed to be attributed to the denaturation of the antigenic proteins
of Cl. chauvoei and Cl. septicum for varied environmental conditions.
Cultures of the causal organisms were made and their biochemical properties
were checked and confirmed from Indian Veterinary Research Institute. These
cultures were contributed to their stock.
Another incidence of Black-leg was investigated in Sodepur, Pinjrapole and
there was nothing uncommon to mention about it.
These outbreaks were duly controlled with the administration of the specific
biologics.
10
(ii) Botulism.—A case of Cl. botulinum infection was investigated among the
Haringhata herd of West Bengal Government.
(iii) Pasteurellosis.—A break of P. multocida among goats was successfully
investigated, and ultimately controlled by the aid of the Field Section and with
the inoculation of the specific biologics advocated.
(iv) Abortion in goats.—Caprine abortion owing to bad management, mal-
nutrition and want of proper care was checked by correcting the defects.
(v) Contagious Ecthyema.—An outbreak of the diseases in a small flock in
Kharagpur area was investigated and checked with the application of the sanitary
measures.
(vi) Hog Cholera.—This disease in Howrah was investigated for the first time
both with the clinical and necropsy observations. The disease was brought under
control with the application of hygienic measures.
Many other problems of Field Section demanding special attention were
tackled and solved at the advice of the Assistant Director of Veterinary Services,
West Bengal.
Section D—Remarks of the Advisory Board.
Annual Report of the Disease Investigation Scheme, West Bengal, for 1949-50.
"The annual report of the scheme mentioned above was adopted by the
Animal Disease and Pests Committee at its meeting held in November 1950,
with the remarks that the Association of Cl. chauvoei with the outbreak of
Encephalomyelitis was unusual."
The remarks of the Advisory Board supported the result of investigation
with regard to the unusual factors of the Cl. chauvoei infection accompanied with
cerebral symptoms.

Resume of Ninth Annual Progress Report of Assistant Disease Investigation
Officer (Poultry), West Bengal, for the year 1st April 1950 to 31st March
1951.
TECHNICAL PROGRAMME.
1. Ranikhet Vaccine.—(i) Experiments will be carried out on birds at
different age levels, at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 days, taking 6 birds representing
each age-group.
(ii) The vaccinated birds will be tested for immunity after 3 weeks to ascertain
the minimum age level for safe vaccination.
(iii) Two controls will be kept to prove potency of the test-virus.
2. Fowl Pox.—The new Fowl Pox Vaccine from the Indian Veterinary
Research Institute will continue to be used at organised farms and villages as
suggested by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi.
11
3. Survey of Duck Disease.—(i) Visit to rural areas for collecting data on
prevailing duck diseases to continue.
(ii) Clinical and post-mortem examination supplemented by usual laboratory
tests.
4. Tuberculosis.—"Tuberculin" test in fowls and ducks at organised farms
and rural areas where tuberculosis is suspected to be prevailing.
5. Parasites.—Pherapeutic value of different kinds of drugs, viz., Soluthia-
zole, Sulphamezatine, Phenothiazine, Cestarsol, etc., in the control of Coccidiosis,
Trichominiasis, Taeneasis and in other helminthiasis will be tried. Observation
will be made from field trial of Gammaxene, D.D.T. and other agents for eradica-
tion of external parasites.
6. Miscellaneous.—General examination and diagnosis on report of poultry
diseases from mufassil.
Results.—Table showing the number of outbreak reports received during the
year under report together with an analysis of inoculation figures, etc., for the
last three years.
The figures of inoculation shown under each category are, however, not fully
representative of those performed by individual Veterinary Assistant Surgeons in
the districts as per requirement.

APPENDIX III.
Section C—Summary.
1. Eurytrema pancreaticum.—Work on the incidence of the parasite was
carried on amongst caprines and ovines in Calcutta and its suburbs, but no para-
sites were available during the year 1948-49. Such work was carried on at
Calcutta Slaughter House and Asansol and no parasites were available. The fact
was incorporated in Annual Report of the said year. Such investigation for the
incidence of the parasite in Calcutta and its suburbs was carried on during the
year 1949-50 and no parasites were available. Such investigation was carried
on during the year under report in the suburbs of Calcutta but nowhere the
parasites were detected.
From the available records of Disease Investigation Officers of undivided
Bengal, it is quite clear that the incidences of such parasites are visible in the
hills of Darjeeling district. The work on the life history of the parasite by
undertaking tour in Darjeeling district could not be undertaken, unfortunately on
account of certain unforeseen reasons already mentioned in the progress report.
2. Stephanofilaria assamensis.—On autopsy of six cattle having untreated
humpsore cases, neither the parasites nor the microfilaria could be detected any-
where in the circulatory system.
All attempts to transmit the disease through arthropod vectors, e.g., musca
and stomoxys varieties of flies, during the earlier part of the summer season
of the year were abortive as the clean flies could not be raised due to intense heat.
During the earlier part of the rainy season the experiment was resumed and
raised such clean flies in cages from gravid flies from humpsore cases. Six typical
untreated humpsore cases were selected for feeding experiment with those raised
clean flies and on simultaneous dissection of those raised clean flies, after feeding
on the sores, microfilaria could be found in the stomach of those flies.
Eight clean cattle were infected in the field with those experimentally fed
flies and only two of such clean cattle got humpsore of small size. On examina-
tion of such sore microfilaria were found in good number and female parasites
were available only six in number in areas 2-3 inches around the sore. It is very
probable that the microfilaria are liberated from the female parasites remain
in the sore tissues when the arthroped vectors, e.g., musca and stomoxys varieties,
feed on those sores further development undergoes in them. These were done
with greatest difficulty in the field in the absence of experimental animals and
flyproof room.
3. Miscellaneous.—Other Helminthic diseases due to—
(i) Fasciola gigantica or Fasciola hepatica,
(ii) Haemonchus contortus, and
(iii) Ascaris Vitulorum-Survey along with method of control.
15
Of the 155 faecal samples from the different ruminants which were examined
microscopically from Alpine Dairy, Agarpara, Sodepur Pinjarapole, Sodepur
Khadipratisthan, Express Dairy, Behala, in addition to the faecal samples that
were collected from the suburbs of Calcutta, revealed presence of ova of Fasciola
gigantica—4, Haemonchus contortus—20, and Ascaris vitulorum—13.
These items are going to be taken up elaborately along with the inclusion
of Nasal schistomomiasis for investigation work in this State which are the main
helminthic infections.
