A Newcastle disease outbreak occurred in Region III of the Philippines in early 2016 following typhoons in late 2015. Over 400,000 backyard chickens died as the highly contagious virus spread across the 7 provinces. In response, meetings were held with stakeholders, surveillance increased, an education campaign launched, over 1 million vaccine doses distributed and administered to 238,204 birds, quarantine checkpoints established, and a regional response team created through collaboration between the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry, and Central Luzon State University. Coordinated control efforts successfully contained the outbreak by the end of April 2016 with no further significant cases reported.
Mapping the risk of Rift Valley fever in UgandaILRI
This study analyzed data from Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks and serological surveys in Uganda to map the risk of RVF transmission. Surveillance records, serological surveys of cattle, sheep and goats, and spatial data on climate/ecology were analyzed. Observed outbreaks were mapped to identify occurrence patterns. Serological data were modeled using logistic regression to identify animal-level exposure factors. A geostatistical model predicted spatial patterns of endemic infection. The final serological model was used to predict areas of exposure risk based on ecological variables. Results identified areas at high transmission risk, especially during wet seasons, and pointed to the need for active surveillance in predicted risk areas.

Dengue is caused by an virus named as Den of 4 serotypes. Den virus is being spread by a mosquito Aedes aegypti. It is very essential to understand symptoms of dengue, habit, habitat and life cycle of vector Aedes. There by Dengue control measures can be taken to control dengue diseases to prevent morbidity and mortality due to dengue.
Metagenomic studies on virus dynamics at the livestock/tick/wildlife interfac...SIANI
In Uganda swine is a major protein source and is kept by ca 19 per cent of the rural population. Estimations say that about two million pigs are kept in Uganda. From the governmental side pig is recommended as being ideal for poorer people, but also for bigger production, due to the large litter sizes and that they reach slaughter weight fast.
Unfortunately, this also gives problems with infectious diseases of various kinds. One of the most feared diseases of pigs is African swine fever (ASF), which is caused by a virus, African Swine fever virus (ASFV). There are currently no vaccine or treatment for this disease. Occasionally there are big outbreaks and this leads to tremendous consequences for the farmer and is extremely painful for the animals.
The symptoms can vary a lot from sudden death to more subtle, and therefore it can be difficult to judge if pigs have the disease or not. One reason for this is that different genetic variants circulate of the virus that have different pathogenicity.
The natural reservoirs of the virus are different types of wild pigs, warthogs and bushpigs and a soft tick (Ornithodoros) and may via the latter be transferred to domestic pigs. The introduction is however often due to infected pigs or meat products. This is due both to economical reasons and knowledge gaps about the virus behind the disease. Lots of the virus epidemiology and life cycle is unknown that must be sorted out to be able to combat the viral disease in an effective way. The scope of this project, which is a part of a bigger project, is to study the virus in the tick vector using so called viral metagenomics. This is a combination of advanced molecular techniques and computer analysis (bioinformatics). This will give a more complete picture of the virus survival and spread in the vector.

COVID-19 is certainly a newly emerged zoonosis, not yet understood properly thus cases need utmost care in its handling in both in human and animals.
More observations and studies can only elucidate the origin, intermediate host and definitive host (till date humans) and maintenance host of SARS CoV-2.
For control of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses potentiating one health environmental approach for understanding disease drivers and control strategies are essential elements.
The document discusses methods for measuring malaria prevalence over time. In the pre-eradication era, measures included spleen rate, average enlarged spleen, and parasite rate in children ages 2-10. During eradication efforts, microscopic diagnosis became primary, and parameters like annual parasite incidence, annual blood examination rate, and slide positivity rate were used. Vector indices employed include human blood index, sporozoite rate, mosquito density, and man biting rate.

The document discusses several misunderstood determinants of COVID-19 that have been claimed but lack epidemiological evidence. It questions correlations that have been proposed between COVID-19 outcomes and factors like median age, BCG vaccination rates, religion, and disease burdens. While some correlations appear convincing based on statistics alone, the document argues they ignore important context and exceptions. There have been very few rigorous epidemiological studies of COVID-19 to determine true disease modulators and spread, and many studies have misused non-epidemiological data.

This document summarizes a study on risk factors associated with sheeppox and goatpox virus exposure in northern Nigeria. The study aimed to assess virus prevalence across herds and identify factors linked to higher risk. Researchers found that 1.6% of sampled small ruminants had exposure to the viruses, with positive animals clustered in certain households and regions. Specifically, eastern Bauchi was identified as a high-risk area, while southwestern Bauchi and northwestern Plateau had lower risk. The results can help design targeted surveillance and intervention programs.

This study investigated using molecular surveillance of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) at slaughterhouses in Vietnam to detect emerging outbreak strains early. Samples were collected from two slaughterhouses bi-monthly from 2017-2019 and FMDV sequences were obtained and analyzed alongside sequences from farm surveillance and outbreak cases. The results showed that slaughterhouse surveillance captured the genetic diversity of FMDV circulating in the population. Certain clusters detected first at slaughterhouses emerged as outbreak strains 4-6 months later, demonstrating that slaughterhouse surveillance has potential for early detection of emerging FMDV variants in Vietnam.
This presentation discussed a multi-species outbreak of Salmonella serotype Typhimurium infections linked to the application of uncomposted poultry litter as fertilizer on grazing pastures. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis showed that Salmonella isolates from a sick person, two sick cattle fetuses, and samples of poultry litter from one of the fertilized sites were indistinguishable. The investigation concluded that applying uncomposted poultry litter, which can harbor Salmonella, to pastures exposes animals and the environment to Salmonella and can lead to infections in cattle and people. Public health officials provided education to reduce the risks from uncomposted poultry litter.
The document defines malaria as a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite transmitted through mosquito bites, characterized by fever, chills, and nausea. It is caused by a single-celled parasite and diagnosed via blood smear examination. Prevention and control measures include early diagnosis and treatment, vector control strategies like anti-adult and anti-larval measures such as residual spraying and larvicides, and integrated control efforts.
A little understood but devastating viral disease fought with political means for economic destruction and gains. With so many vaccines to be used at the face of the pandemic to violate all norms of disease control. Masses are panicked to make useless buying and hoarding to stimulate blackmarketing.
The document provides an overview of malaria epidemiology, prevention, and control efforts in India. It discusses that malaria affects millions of people annually in India, transmitted primarily by Anopheles mosquitoes. Key prevention strategies mentioned include vector control through indoor residual spraying and larviciding, and prompt diagnosis and treatment of cases. Major control programs launched over time aimed to reduce malaria incidence and mortality, through activities like active case detection, radical treatment, and insecticide spraying. National strategies have evolved from eradication to control efforts as challenges emerged.
This document provides an overview of the epidemiology of malaria. It discusses the history of malaria, including the discovery of the malaria parasite and mosquito transmission. It describes the global and Indian epidemiology, noting that most cases occur in Africa, Southeast Asia, and India. Four main malaria vectors in India are identified. The life cycle and modes of transmission of the malaria parasite are explained. Factors influencing the distribution of malaria like host, vector, environment, and socioeconomic conditions are summarized.

Background.—Rabies, although not preeminent among current infectious diseases, continues to afflict humans with as many as 55,000 deaths annually. The case fatality rate remains the highest among infectious diseases, and medical treatments have proven ineffective.
Objective.—This study analyzes the rabies epidemic of 1929 to 1937 in Trinidad from a geograph- ical perspective, using Geographic Information System (GIS) software as an analytical tool.
Setting.—A small island developing country at a time when infectious diseases were rampant.
Methods.—A review of the literature was undertaken, and data were collected on the occurrence of disease in both animal and humans populations and mapped using GIS software. Several factors identified in the literature were further explored such as land use/land cover, rainfall and magnetic declination.
Results.—The bat rabies epidemic of 1923 to 1937 in Trinidad was migratory and seasonal, shifting to new locations along a definite path. The pattern of spread appears to be spatially linked to land use/land cover. The epidemic continues to present many unexplained peculiarities.
Conclusion.—Despite the fact that this epidemic occurred almost 7 decades ago, the application of new tools available for public health use can create new knowledge and understanding of events. We showed that the spatial of distribution of the disease followed a distinct pathway possible due to the use of electromagnetic capabilities of bats.
Zika virus was first isolated in 1947 in Uganda. It is transmitted primarily via Aedes mosquitoes and can cause microcephaly and other birth defects. There was an outbreak in Brazil in 2015-2016 which spread rapidly through the Americas. Pregnant women who travel to affected areas are advised to strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites. Testing involves RT-PCR of serum and urine within 2 weeks of symptoms, and IgM antibody testing if RT-PCR is negative. Interpretation of results must consider cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses.
Developing management strategies for Napier stunt diseaseILRI
1. Napier Stunt Disease is caused by a phytoplasma transmitted by the leafhopper Maiestas banda. Developing effective management strategies requires fully understanding the disease biology and its vector.
2. There is a need to determine the epidemiology of the disease, identify other potential vectors, understand the vectors' distribution and ability to spread the phytoplasma, and consider human factors contributing to the disease's spread.
3. Developing resistant varieties and cultural controls, like removing refugia grasses, could help manage the disease, but more research is needed to understand resistance mechanisms and potential impacts on vectors and food security.

Newcastle disease outbreak in region III by Dr E LapuzPerez Eric
This document provides information on Newcastle disease, a contagious viral disease affecting various bird species. It discusses the causative virus, Newcastle disease virus, including its structure, hosts, transmission, clinical signs, diagnosis and prevention. The key points are:
- Newcastle disease virus is an avian paramyxovirus that causes respiratory, digestive and neurological disease in birds. It can also infect humans.
- The virus is highly contagious and can spread through contact between infected and healthy birds, in their feces and through aerosols.
- Clinical signs vary depending on the virus strain but may include respiratory distress, diarrhea and neurological problems. Diagnosis involves virus isolation, PCR and serology.
This document discusses housing for poultry. It describes four main types of poultry houses: range type, semi-confinement type, complete confinement type, and semi-monitor type. It also classifies poultry houses based on the number of rooms/pens, portability, and roof style. Open-type laying houses are said to allow greater numbers of layers to thrive and produce more eggs than closed-type houses. The document provides considerations for the construction of poultry houses like the comfort of birds and caretakers, dryness, ventilation, and economy. It defines key terms and lists factors to consider like materials, investment, and operation size.
The document discusses Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology's (CPIT) introduction and development of its self-assessment and external evaluation processes from 2007-2011.

The document also describes CPIT's generic self-assessment process of stocktaking, evaluative conversations, reporting, and closing loops.
This document summarizes Sarah Lawley's community consultation efforts regarding a proposed uranium mining project in Tanzania. It describes meeting with stakeholders in 6 local villages to inform them about the project and address their questions and concerns. Many villagers' questions related to background radiation and whether it could harm their children. Lawley explained that radiation is natural and monitored to ensure safe levels, and that real health risks in Tanzania come from diseases like malaria and waterborne illness rather than low levels of background radiation. The consultation aimed to put radiation risks in perspective by comparing them to more significant health challenges in Tanzania.
The document summarizes the medical aspects of the sinking of HMAS SYDNEY II after encountering the German raider KORMORAN in 1941.

The document summarizes a workshop held in Manila, Philippines from July 25-29 on the management and control of important transboundary animal diseases in the Asian Pacific region. It provides an overview of the Philippine veterinary services, priority diseases, and current focus areas. The key points are:
1) The Philippine veterinary services are led by the Bureau of Animal Industry within the Department of Agriculture. It works with regional offices and laboratories to monitor and control diseases.
2) Priority diseases include foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, Newcastle disease, classical swine fever, and rabies. Classical swine fever is endemic and limits pork exports.
3) An outbreak of Newcastle disease-like symptoms
Chikungunya virus is an alphavirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes that causes fever and joint pain. It was first identified in Tanzania in 1952. An outbreak in 2005-2006 affected over 250,000 people on Réunion Island with 200 associated deaths. The virus is maintained in a mosquito-human transmission cycle and causes acute, self-limiting fever and arthralgia. There is no vaccine or antiviral treatment, so prevention focuses on eliminating mosquito breeding sites and limiting exposure to bites.
The document discusses various control methods for parasitic diseases, including:
1) Education to promote behavioral changes that reduce transmission.
2) Environmental modifications like improved sanitation, irrigation, and animal housing.
3) Grazing management and pasture rotation/resting to reduce parasite populations on pastures.
4) Biological control using predators, parasites, or fungi to control parasite populations.
An integrated approach combining these non-drug methods can control parasites while limiting reliance on pharmaceutical treatments.
A Case of Giardia Spp Infection in a 3weeks Old White Fulani Calfijtsrd
Giardiasis is an intestinal protozoal infection that affects wild and domestic animals. It can also be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals Dixon, 2021 . Transmission is mainly through the feco oral route, with the occurrence of diarrhea been the most common symptom. The presence of watery pasty mucoidalfaeces in young animals is highly suggestive of the infection Patton, 2013 . Giardia spp is among the key intestinal parasite of ruminants leading to a significant rate of deaths in calves Hailuet al, 2020 .

Poultry Vaccines and Vaccination Practices among Farmers in Wukari, Taraba St...ijtsrd
Poultry enterprise is increasingly gaining viability owning to successful preventive measures of vaccination protocols for various diseases of economic importance. A cross sectional study involving forty five 45 poultry farms across the Six 6 wards in Wukari, Local Government Area, Taraba State Nigeria were surveyed to determine the vaccination practices and the vaccines used by poultry farmers. Purposive sampling was employed by Interviewer administered structured questionnaires in the course of the study. Fisher’s exact test was used to test for association between categorical variables. A total of 8 17.8 , 3 6.7 , 3 6.7 , 8 17.8 , 6 13.3 and 17 37.8 farms were visited in Avyi, Bantaje, Chonku, Hospital, Jibu and Puje wards respectively. The forty five respondents were 57.8 male and 42.2 female farmers. Majority of the respondents never administered Marek’s 82.2 , LaSota 51.1 , Komarov 75.6 , Fowl cholera 75.6 Fowl typhoid 73.3 and Coccidiosis 68.9 vaccines. Only 42.2 of the respondents had vaccination records while 51.1 had vaccination schedules. There was a significant association between disease outbreak and the use of Infectious Bursal disease, Fowl typhoid, Fowlpox and Coccidiosis vaccines respectively. The association between the handling of vaccines and disease outbreaks were significant p 0.05 for Marek’s, Infectious Bursal disease, Fowl typhoid and Coccidiosis. The result of the association between vaccine administration against vaccine failures was significantly different p 0.05 in all vaccines used. In conclusion, poultry farmers in Wukari are aware of routine vaccinations although a majority of them do not administer the vaccines and the few that use these vaccines have poor record storage practices.

This document summarizes the current status of transboundary animal diseases in Taiwan. It discusses the prevention and control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). For FMD, vaccination rates for cloven-hoofed animals are over 90% and herd protection levels are over 80%. For HPAI, novel strains were introduced in 2015 through migratory birds and spread among poultry farms, leading to the culling of over 5 million birds. Through control measures, HPAI cases decreased from 1,054 in 2015 to 43 in 2016. Effective biosecurity and surveillance are needed to minimize threats from FMD and HPAI.
Transboundary animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) pose threats to Taiwan's livestock industry. For FMD, over 90% of cloven-hoofed animal farms are vaccinated annually and surveillance shows over 80% have herd-level protection. No FMD cases have been detected since mid-2013 except for two cattle in 2015. For HPAI, novel H5 strains were introduced in 2015 by migratory birds, infecting over 1,000 poultry farms until strong control measures like culling and quarantines reduced cases to 43 in 2016. Cross-border disease spread remains a risk to Taiwan's livestock.
Foot and mouth disease preventive and epidemiological aspectsBhoj Raj Singh
FMD: Menace in India
Discusses problems of FMD Control in India like:
Lack of faith in farmers and veterinarians that FMD can be controlled with vaccination (due to repeated failure of vaccines in quality and vaccination failures resulting in FMD outbreaks).
Lack of infrastructure facilities for maintaining the cold chain and efficient transport to the vaccination site.
Lack of human resources for handling/ vaccinating livestock.
Needs for further researches on diagnosis (Pen-side), disinfection, vaccines and vaccination (affording at least a year immunity, quality vaccine etc.) and control strategies.
No-timely investigation or excessively delayed investigation of FMD outbreaks especially those occurring after vaccination.
Transparency in vaccine quality monitoring and vaccine purchases.
Fear in veterinarians for reporting FMD in their area of operation.
False statistics of the disease and vaccination.
No legal punitive action against suppliers of substandard FMD vaccines even after the supply of multiple substandard batches of vaccine.
Rinderpest | Cattle Plague - Veterinary Preventive Medicine MD SALEEM
Rinderpest, or cattle plague, is a contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hooved animals. It is transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials. The virus causes lesions in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract leading to severe diarrhea and dehydration. A history of exposure, clinical signs, and gross lesions can help diagnose the disease. While there is no treatment, vaccination campaigns using attenuated vaccines were successful in globally eradicating rinderpest by 2011.

Similar to New castle disease outbreak in region III by Dr E Lapuz (20)
- Native pigs have a higher digestive capacity and microbial activity in their hindgut compared to improved pigs, allowing them to utilize low-quality feed materials.
- General feeding practices for native pigs include feeding a combination of concentrate and forage twice daily. Feeding practices vary based on life stage from sows and boars getting 1-1.5kg of mixed feed and supplements, to suckling piglets getting ad-libitum starter mash and supplements, to weaners getting 0.3-1kg of mixed feed and supplements.
- Sample mixed feeds for native pigs contain ingredients like rice bran, corn, copra, and molasses. Establishing forage production areas can help minimize feed
Marketing and income potential of philippine native pig (glenda p. fule)Perez Eric
This document discusses native pig farming in the Philippines. It begins by outlining the demand and consumption of pork in the country. It then provides details on marketing the native pig, including potential products (lechon), target markets (lechon consumers), and pricing. The document also analyzes the costs and returns of raising native pigs, including feed costs, sales projections, and estimated profits from selling weanlings and slaughter pigs (lechon-type). In summary, the document finds that native pig farming in the Philippines can be a profitable endeavor.
Health care in native pig production (dr. aleli a. collado)Perez Eric
This document discusses herd health programs for native pig production. It outlines the epidemiologic triad and describes key elements of a herd health program including biosecurity, vaccination against hog cholera, and control of internal and external parasites. Common diseases of pigs are also listed, along with signs of unhealthy animals and preventive measures. First aid recommendations for diarrhea, fever and colds in pigs are provided.
Breed development, production and commecial utilization of native pigsPerez Eric
- Native pigs are an important part of rural farming communities in the Philippines, providing food security, income, and cultural/social roles. However, native pig production typically remains a small-scale backyard activity without consistent profits.
- There is increasing demand for organically and naturally produced foods, as well as interest in conserving native genetic resources. Improved native pig breeds are desired that are adapted to local conditions but also provide uniform, predictable production and product quality.
- A strategy is proposed to develop homogeneous but genetically diverse native pig populations through organized breeding programs, improved production systems, and marketing of native pig products.

This document summarizes the presentation of Fabian Maximillan B. Cabriga on science-based native pig production in the Philippines. It discusses the current situation of small-scale native pig farmers, including issues like lack of training, standards, and market support. It then outlines how the Philippine Native Pig Owners Network Association was established in 2015 to address these issues. The association has helped organize farmers, establish stable prices, and promote native pork. It also describes Teofely Nature Farms, a model native pig farm started by Cabriga, and how it aims to produce high quality native pork and vegetables sustainably through good practices.
Benefits and Market Potential of Native Pig Lechon Processing and MarketingPerez Eric
Lechon, or roasted pig, is a Filipino delicacy traditionally made with native Philippine pigs. The document discusses lechon production in La Loma, Philippines, which is considered the lechon capital. Ping Ping Native Lechon & Restaurant is one of the established brands in La Loma that uses 100% native pigs for lechon. While there is steady demand, production is limited by the supply and high costs of quality native pigs. The lechon industry needs government support to address issues around native pig supply and transportation regulations.
Native Pig Trading and Lechon Processing and Marketing in CebuPerez Eric
Ms. Claire C. Silva owns Claire's Lechon de Cebu, which began in 1989 processing one pig per week and has since expanded to processing 10-15 pigs per week normally and up to 40 pigs on weekends during peak seasons. Native pigs from Negros and Bohol are used for their juicy and tasty meat. The pigs are slaughtered and seasoned in-house before being roasted over open wood charcoal. While lechon production has grown, challenges include fluctuating pig prices and quality as well as competition from other processors. Future plans include breeding their own pigs and expanding markets.
The document summarizes a FIESTA event held in Zamboanga City to promote the ZamPen native chicken breed. It discusses the 10 years of research that went into developing the ZamPen breed. The event featured exhibits, forums, and competitions to encourage local farmers and businesses to raise ZamPen chickens as a livelihood option. The goal was to connect producers with potential buyers and introduce technology that can help the native chicken industry. Samples of dishes made from ZamPen chicken were served to event attendees.
The FLS-GEM project trained over 2,500 goat farmers through 28-week courses focusing on improved feeding, breeding, health and waste management. This led to increases in productivity such as higher conception rates, shorter kidding intervals, and greater survival rates and kid weights. Farmers saw higher profits as a result, with income increasing by over 30% on average. The project had wide social impacts as well, with increased cooperation between farmers and new businesses developing around goat farming. The project was so successful that its training model was adopted as the national standard for goat production in the Philippines.
The document discusses an e-learning program on goat raising offered by the DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD). The program offers free online certificate courses on topics related to goat production. As of November 2017, over 2,100 students have graduated from the program, consisting of farmers, extension workers, businessmen, and overseas Filipino workers. Students can enroll by creating an account on the e-extension website and selecting from the available goat raising course modules.
The document discusses the Test-Interval Method (TIM), a common practice for measuring total milk yield (TMY) in small ruminants. TIM uses a formula that calculates TMY based on milk measurements taken at intervals after birth and between subsequent milkings. It originated as a way for farmers and organizations to evaluate goat performance and rank animals for selective breeding programs to improve genetics. TIM can be used on individual farms or in government programs.
This document discusses standards for slaughtering and cutting goats. It outlines proper procedures for transporting goats to slaughter, ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, and slaughter methods. Detailed cutting schemes for six prime cuts of chevon are also presented. Adopting these standards would help produce clean meat through proper hygiene, allow for higher carcass recovery, demand higher prices, and serve as a guideline for developing policies around goat slaughtering.
The document summarizes research on a herbal dewormer called MCM for goats. MCM is created from a mixture of three Philippine plants - makahiya, caimito, and makabuhay. Clinical trials showed MCM, administered as either a 500mg capsule or 500ul liquid twice at a 2 week interval, was effective at eliminating the parasitic roundworm Haemonchus contortus in goats. This led to increased health, milk and meat production in treated goats. The document provides details on the formulation, dosage, availability and pricing of the herbal MCM dewormer and encourages farmers to try and support this natural treatment option for healthier goats.

The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

New castle disease outbreak in region III by Dr E Lapuz
1. NEW CASTLE DISEASE OUTBREAK in Region III
DR. EDUARDO L. LAPUZ, JR.
Chief Regulatory Division
Department of Agriculture RFO III
I. INTRODUCTION
What is Newcastle Disease (ND)?
Newcastle Disease (ND) is a highly contagious and often severe disease found worldwide that
affects birds including domestic poultry. It usually presents as a respiratory disease but
depression, nervous manifestation and/or diarrhea can also be observed. Susceptible birds may
also be found dead with no prior signs or illness.
The Cause
The disease is caused by a virus in the family Paramyxoviridae.
Hosts
• Infection has been demonstrated in at least 241 species from 27 orders of birds.
• Chickens are the most susceptible species.
• White leghorn chickens seem to be more susceptible to experimental infection than
white rocks.
• Turkeys are more resistant than chickens.
• Waterfowl believed to be quite resistant.
• A carrier state can exist in psittacine birds.
• Mortality/morbidity influenced by species, strain of virus, environmental factors and
vaccination practices.
• Zoonotic – conjunctivitis in humans.
Transmission
• Infection may take place by either inhalation or ingestion.
• The disease is disseminated through movement of live birds, contact with other animals,
movement of people and equipment, movement of poultry products and airborne spread.
Clinical Signs
• Sneezing, coughing and gasping for air
• Nasal discharge
• Greenish, watery diarrhea
• Depression, muscular tremors, drooping wings, twisting of the head and neck paralysis
• Drop in egg production and thin shelled eggs
• Swelling around eyes and in the neck
2. • Sudden death
Prevention and Control
• No treatment
• Biosecurity – proper disposal (birds, manure, feeds, etc.)
• Cleaning and disinfection – proper disinfectants
• Proper vaccination – follow manufacturers instruction
• Quarantine – movement control
II. NEWCASTLE DISEASE OUTBREAK IN REGION III
Newcastle Disease is endemic not only in region III but throughout the Philippines. In recent
years, it has occurred on a very limited scale affecting a very negligible number of chicken
raised at the backyard level. But in October of 2015 after the onslaught of Typhoon Lando and
the effect of Typhoon Nona in December 2015, ND virus spread like a wildfire affecting all the
seven provinces of the region.
Mortalities in backyard raisers were observed but were not reported to the Provincial Veterinary
Offices (PVOs). It was only January of this year (2016) that a backyard poultry raisers went to
the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RADDL) of DA RFO III requesting for ND
vaccine because his chickens are dying. Immediately the PVOs were notified and conducted
disease investigation and it was confirmed that mortalities in backyard and range chicken as
well as game fowls are being experienced in the region.
A. Series of meetings were conducted to map out strategies to control the spread of the
disease.
- Emergency meeting with the provincial, city and municipal veterinarians on January
21, 2016.
- Meetings with the stakeholders both from the public and private sectors
• February 16, 2016
• February 26, 2016
• April 1, 2016
• April 26, 2016 (Anti-Rabies and ND vaccination kick off at CLSU)
B. Surveillance and Disease Investigation
Our provincial veterinarians together with our municipal and city veterinarians conducted

G. Creation of the Newcastle Disease Regional Quick Response Team
Under the Special Order No. 353 series of 2016, the BAI lead the creation of Regional
Quick Response Team (RQRT) for Disease Events and Emergencies.
The BAI, DA RFO III and Central Luzon State University (CLSU) have entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to come up with a strategy to vaccinate susceptible animals
against ND in the province of Nueva Ecija by mobilizing at least 80 senior veterinary students
under the supervision of the Provincial Veterinarian. Kick-off ceremony of the said agreement
was done last April 26. The said event was attended by the senior clinicians of College of
Veterinary Medicine of the school who will be participating the vaccination. Meeting with the
private stakeholders was proceeded after the event.
With all the interventions that were put in place, fortunately the further spread of the disease
was controlled as of April 30, 2016. No more significant cases of ND have been reported.
