ANNUAL REPORT - ANIMAL HEALTH LABORATORY (AHL) - YEAR 2013
1.
Introduction
The activities of the Animal Health Laboratory (AHL) have continued with ongoing
scheduled tasks and duties. The diagnostic facilities have been made available to the
breeding community, the public, the Police Department and Ministry of Health & Quality
of Life.
Ongoing surveillance programmes on poultry, bovine, ovine and caprine, porcine and
cat diseases have continued. New diagnostic Elisa kits have been purchased. Elisa
kits for the detection of antibodies to African Horse Sickness virus, to West Nile virus, to
Peste de Petits Ruminants, to Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia, to Bovine
Mycobacterium, to Mycobacterium Para-tuberculosis and to multi-species A Influenza
Virus are those that have been newly introduced.
Meat differentiation using the agar gel immuno-diffusion test for raw meat and elisa test
for cooked meat have been in the forefront.
Proficiency testing has continued and the AHL has participated into three international
tests (Infectious Laryngotracheitis, Avian Influenza and Salmonella antibodies) in
chicken serum to demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities of the AHL.
The AHL has also performed Elisa tests to detect antibodies to Influenza type A Virus in
pork serum.
Monkey trapping have continued but new tasks have been introduced - (a) sterilization
and (b) microchipping of trapped monkeys before release in the wild.
Some issues at the AHL have not been resolved, perhaps due to lack of funds, although
requests have been made and reminders sent. It is not all gloom and doom but a real
effort is needed to find a solution to the following:(a)
Purchase of carbon dioxide gas cylinder (40 kgs).
(b)
Purchase of a fan.
(c)
Leakage of gas in Microbiology Section.
(d)
Connection of equipment and apparatus to a powerful generator to prevent
breakdown and protect diagnostic kits and biological during electrical failure.
(e)
Purchase of curtains and blinds.
2
(f)
Maintenance, repair or purchase of air conditioners.
(g)
Lighting problems in Tissue Culture Section, Vaccine Production Unit, corridor,
PCR Unit, Waiting Room and outside the AHL.
(h)
Refill or purchase of fire extinguisher.
(i)
Renovation of toilet.
(j)
Repair/change of flooring in Post Mortem, Parasitology, Haematology Section.
(k)
Purchase of additional Laboratory chairs and 1 executive chair.
(l)
Construction of 10 additional monkey traps and 1 big trap.
It is encouraging to note that the AHL has performed with limited funds attributed at the
beginning of the year but more funds would be necessary to improve the work set up
and to purchase up to date apparatus and diagnostic kit.
The activities and duties performed are described below.
