AbstractBreeding strategies for sustainable livestock production in developing countries are discussed with reference to breeding objectives in more uniform environments of temperate regions and to those in stressful and highly variable environments of the tropics. The relative importance of breeding objectives to be based not on single performance traits but also on fitness traits is discussed in relation to production efficiency. With particular reference to breeding strategies for dairy production the following aspects are referred to: assessment of scope for performance improvement; the rôle of local breeds in stressful environments; the need for potential assessment and options for breed improvement; the use of exotic breeds; and the need for comparative field performance test as part of improvement schemes.

Common Causes

ABSTRACT Chylous ascites (CA) is the extravasation of milky chyle into the peritoneal cavity. Chylous ascites commonly affects adults in 50 to 60 years of age but can also occur in pediatric population. In adults, the most common causes are abdominal malignancies and cirrhosis which account for more than two-third of the cases in developed countries, whereas infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and filariasis, are prevalent in developing countries. Other causes include congenital, inflammatory, postoperative, traumatic and miscellaneous disorders. We hereby report two atypical cases of chylous ascites and also briefly discuss the causes and treatment. How to cite this article Tanusha TR, Patil MB. An Atypical Presentation of Chylous Ascites.

Concurrent Infections

Infectious diseases are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Sometimes concurrent infections with multiple infectious agents may occur in one patient, which make the diagnosis and management a challenging task. The authors here present a case of co-infection of typhoid fever with dengue fever in a ten-year-old child and discuss the pertinent issues. The authors emphasize that the risk factors predicting the presence of such co-infections, if developed, will be immensely useful in areas where dengue outbreak occurs in the background of high transmission of endemic infections.

Travel between developing countries and developed countries is increasing every year. Approximately 880 million passengers arrived at international airports in 2009. The increase in travel to Africa has outpaced the increase for all other regions by almost twice, with the rate of growth reaching 8.1% in 2006. Asian and Pacific Rim countries continue to hold substantial travel interest. Travel to the Middle East has kept pace with travel growth despite the political instability there. More people are traveling to destinations that present higher risks of infectious diseases. Knowledge of prevention measures for preventable diseases becomes increasingly important. Management of posttravel illness becomes increasingly important. Subjects covered include preparation for travel, deep vein thrombosis prevention, motion sickness, jet lag, altitude sickness, vaccination and immunization, and traveler's diarrhea.

Blueprints for Tropical Dairy Farming provides insight into the logistics, infrastructure and management required for the development of small and large dairy farms in tropical developing countries. Farmers will learn how to improve the welfare, milk quality and productivity of their dairy herds. This book complements author John Moran’s five previous books on the principles of tropical dairy farming. The manual covers a wide range of topics related to ensuring the sustainability of dairy production systems in tropical developing countries, such as South and East Asia, Africa and Central America. It also provides guidelines for the best management practices of large-scale, more intensive dairy systems. While smallholder farms are the major suppliers of milk in the tropics, many larger farms are becoming established throughout the tropics to satisfy the increasing demands for fresh milk. Blueprints for Tropical Dairy Farming will be a valuable resource for farmers and stockpeople who want to improve the productive performance of their dairy herds, farm advisers who can assist farmers to achieve this aim, educators who develop training programs for farmers or who train dairy advisers in the basics of dairy production technology, and other stakeholders in tropical dairy production, such as local agribusiness, policy makers and research scientists. National and international agencies will learn new insights into the required long-term logistics for regional dairy development, while potential investors will acquire knowledge into intensive tropical dairy farming.

Occupant Satisfaction

Thermal comfort in the built environment is one of the most defining parameters influencing energy use, environmental quality, and occupant satisfaction. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research in this area within developing countries, which are becoming increasingly urbanised and where mechanical air conditioning demands are rising. Many of these countries are adopting thermal comfort standards such as the ASHRAE Standard 55, the EN 15251, and the ISO 7730 to regulate the use of air-conditioning; even when these standards have been widely criticised for their inadequacy within geographical regions different to the ones that they were designed for. Research suggests the need to confirm these models through further post-occupancy studies and fieldwork. Deficiencies in data collection and methodologies are thought to require particular attention to develop algorithms that can predict thermal comfort levels accurately. Comprehensive strategies considering interrelated psychological, physiological and social factors are needed. This manuscript highlights gaps of research, specifically within tropical developing countries, through the analysis of Colombia as a case study. It emphasises the importance of standardised fieldwork data and gives examples of alternative collection systems. This aims to contribute to the understanding of occupant´s adaptive behaviours and their impact on the mitigation of climate change.
