Responsibilities<\/u><\/strong>:- <\/strong><\/p>\n

a).General:<\/strong> Deals with bacterial vaccine production, i.e. Anthrax, haemorrhagic septicaemia and blackleg. Production of antisera for various bacteria. Standardization of vaccines.\u00a0 This includes safety, potency and efficacy testing.\u00a0 Preparation of the seed for the vaccine and checking of purity. Investigation on bacterial diseases and outbreaks.\u00a0 Research to improve quality of vaccines.\u00a0 Economical studies to improve production media.\u00a0 Comparative studies between field strains and those that are in use for vaccine production in search for immunogenic strains.\u00a0 Monthly and annual reports of the section.<\/p>\n

b).<\/strong> Survey of bacterial diseases of economical importance e.g. haemorrhagic septicaemia, anthrax, blackleg, bovine farcy, John\u2019s disease, tuberculosis and brucellosis.<\/p>\n

c). Research:<\/strong> I have conducted research in different field of microbiology, improving vaccine quality and isolating a etiological agents of certain diseases for the first time in the Sudan.<\/p>\n

Scientific achievements<\/u><\/strong>:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First report of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis and isolation of Moraxella bovis<\/em> for the first time in the Sudan. Preparation of a selective diagnostic medium for isolation of Moraxella bovis.\u00a0 <\/em><\/li>\n
  2. First report of Salmonella typhimurium <\/em> Copenhagen <\/em>from pigeon.<\/li>\n
  3. First report of Actinobacillus actinoides<\/em> from a pneumonic lung of calves in Sudan and Africa.<\/li>\n
  4. Drew the attention, with other colleagues, to the predisposing of dogs to canine distemper if the infection is preceded by Nocardia astertoides<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  5. Preparation of economic medium for production of blackleg vaccine: Sixteen times more<\/u>.<\/li>\n
  6. Isolation of a bacteriocin from Bacillus cereus <\/em>which is inhibitory for Clostridium chauvoei<\/em> and hence explained the failure of isolation of the latter for several years. Using a transport medium, I was able to make the first successful isolation of Clostridium chauvoei<\/em> in the Sudan.\u00a0 The bacteriocin isolated was proved to be inhibitory for chauvoei <\/em>both in vitro and in vivo.<\/li>\n
  7. First report of isolation of Actinobacillus lignieresii<\/em> and its association with Pasteurella multocida <\/em>in causation of pneumonia in sheep.<\/li>\n
  8. Isolation of mycolic acid from Sudanese strains of Nocardia farcinica<\/em> in enough quantities that permit the designation of Mycobacterium.<\/li>\n
  9. Reporting both type (A) and (B) of Clostridium novyi<\/em> from a case of gas gangrene in a cow and an outbreak of blackleg disease in sheep respectively. First report in the Sudan and second in Africa.<\/li>\n
  10. Isolation of Serratia marcescens<\/em> from dead honeybees larvae. First report in the Sudan.\u00a0 Second in the literature regarding larvae.<\/li>\n
  11. First report of sheep abscess syndrome.<\/li>\n
  12. First report of goat abscess syndrome in Sudan.<\/li>\n
  13. Isolation of legionella pneumophila <\/em>from water air conditions.<\/li>\n
  14. Black leg vaccine using Clostridium chauvei <\/em>strain Kadogli.<\/li>\n
  15. Production of vaccine for Sheep Abscess Syndrome \u2013 Morel\u2019s Disease \u2013 Sano-Vac.<\/li>\n
  16. Bovine \u2013 Farcy Attenuated Vaccine.<\/li>\n
  17. Investigation on a new function of the liver i.e. attenuation of Bacteria.<\/li>\n
  18. Detection of the sites for reception of Bacillus thuringensis <\/em>toxins of larvae of Anopheles mosquito.<\/li>\n
  19. Dental Caries vaccine. Induction of protective immunity aginst Stereptococcus mutans <\/em>using cell-free and cell associated with glucose transferase.<\/li>\n
  20. Awarded the certificate of International WHO\u2019s who of Intellectuals for distinguished achievements. Eighth edition, July 1988.<\/li>\n
  21. Awarded the certificate of Distinguished Leadership by the American Biographical Institute, 1989. (See qualifications).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    d) Training:<\/strong> During my stay in the Veterinary Research Laboratory, I was able to train several veterinarians as proper bacteriologists. They obtained their higher degrees. They also had a proper training in vaccine production, surveys and scientific writing. Training of newly recruited veterinarians as well as technicians and A\/technicians.\u00a0 Training of veterinarians from other universities for short periods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
