Newcastle Disease (ND) vaccinators in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha state in India can today look towards bright prospects. The demand for their services has not only spawned new employment opportunities within their locales, but has also helped farmers protect their poultry flocks which would routinely be ravaged by Newcastle Disease outbreaks. In addition, the chance to become a poultry vaccinator and the income that comes along with it has empowered rural women, who can now use their hard earned money to invest in a better future for their families. Access to ND vaccination training in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha has been facilitated by the Bhodal Milk Producers Co-operative Society (BMPCS), a local NGO, and Heifer International in partnership with non-profit Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed).
Thirty-seven-year-old, Govardhan Naik from Suryapada always wanted to set up his own business. A university graduate, he first heard of an opportunity to be an ND vaccinator through a friend. After a four day training course that covered vaccination and first aid, he ventured into the field as a trained vaccinator. This was about four years ago.
Govardhan gets his supplies of the ND vaccine from a market at a nearby town, Kosta. He has also procured a refrigerator to store the vaccines and a motorcycle to help him reach the farmers. He serves around 400 households vaccinating close to 5,000 chickens every month. Providing additional services such as deworming and first aid, Govardhan brings home a net income averaging INR 8,000 (US $ 122) monthly, which has positively contributed to the economic well-being of his family.
His work as a vaccinator has brought him recognition from the locals and several of his friends have now shown an interest in the occupation, with one of them now an active vaccinator. “I will continue as a vaccinator even after this current project ends,” he says, referring to the ongoing GALVmed sponsored initiative, much to the relief of numerous households who are grateful for his services and want him to continue.
The effects of the poultry vaccinators’ work on the local economy are visible. When Govardhan first began vaccinating, an average village consisting of about 20 households would have a maximum of 70-80 chickens. After the first year of vaccination, the number skyrocketed to over 1,000. Farmers’ earnings from poultry rearing increased.
“If you work as a vaccinator, you can have an independent enterprise,” he adds.
A vial of the ND vaccine costs between INR 75 (US $1.16) and INR 100 (US $1.55). One vial can vaccinate up to 100 chickens. A vaccinator can charge INR 2 (US $ 0.03) per vaccination. There is also additional income derived from services such as deworming and first aid. For example, Govardhan earns another INR 3,000 or (US $46) from these additional services.
The involvement of women as vaccinators has also contributed to their economic empowerment and participation in decision making within the family unit and their communities. Mamata Mandal, 42, from Tikayatpur village in Ras Gobindpur block, is one such vaccinator. Mamata first got to know about vaccination from Anup Behra, the team leader of Unnayana, a local NGO. Coming from a family that has traditionally reared poultry and having witnessed high mortality of the birds, she readily took up the occupation.
Mamata procures her supplies from a small shop, about 7 km away from her village. Carrying a cool box to store the vaccines, she serves around 250 households in a 3km radius and vaccinates around 5,000 birds. Her services get her an income of INR 3,000 (US $ 46) every month. “With this income I can school my children and buy agricultural inputs for the farm,” she says.
BMPCS started the programme with just 7,500 families in 2011. By December 2016, the NGO had already reached more than 175,000 households. Today BMPCS supports more than 320 vaccinators in the project area.
Heifer International’s project was launched in September 2015. By May 2017, they had served as many as 62,316 households. Today, Heifer International supports more than 218 active vaccinators in the field.
Newcastle disease vaccination has helped turn around the lives of many individuals in Mayurbhanj. The vaccinators stand at the frontlines in the fight against the deadly poultry disease and their services are benefitting many smallholder farmers. And with a stable demand for their services, the vaccinators can hope for a better future.

Vaccination against diphtheria —from Medical Coding Career Guide
This doesn't mention death as a complication. In the 1920s, there were 8,000 deaths a year from diphtheria in England—mostly children.
My mother's little brother died of diphtheria when he was five and she was twelve. She never got over the pain and the guilty feeling that she could have somehow prevented it.
I just read that Mary Todd Lincoln & Abraham Lincoln's child Edward died of diphtheria after 52 days of round-the-clock nursing. I've always seen that they had two children. I guess they had about four and two lived to grow up. How soon we forget!
DIPHTHERIA
* Diphtheria cases & deaths in the United Kingdom, 1914 – 2003.
* resurgence of diphtheria in the former U.S.S.R..
* Decline in disease cases worldwide, 20th Century: smallpox, diphtheria, pertussis/whooping cough, tetanus/lockjaw, paralytic polio, measles, mumps, rubella, congenital rubella, haemophilus influenzae (flu).
In May 2004 I underwent major surgery to have my Large Intestine (Colon) removed after being ill with Ulcerative Colitis.
Over a year later, they have shown me photos of the diseased and discarded meat, which I found incredibly interesting!
Next week I go under the knife again where the wonderful surgeons will get artisitic with my plumbing in an attempt to "reconstruct" the missing pipework!
Wish me luck!

This is my son Arseniy. He is 6 years old. He is a very kind, merry, curious and courageous boy. He always makes everybody smile.
Our disease is progressing.
At present time he can't see anything but last year he could... it's so terrible and difficult...
So day-by-day we are trying to enjoy every moment.
We are with all the patients who have rare diseases all over the world.

Help! Our Japanese Maple seems to be infested with mites, lots of them!
I noticed the leaves dropping off a few weeks ago, but I put it down to the heat wave we had back then.
This morning, I decided to take a closer look, and it didn't look good at all! At first I thought that it might be some fungal or bacterial infection, but on closer inspection of the underside, it looks like the mites have been busy!
I gave it a light coat of pyrethrin insect spray. I should have used some insectical detergent or sulphur instead. Too late now :)

Pathogen — fungus disease
Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin
Moniliales: Moniliaceae
Beauveria bassiana is a white fungus which attacks planthoppers, leafhoppers, stem borers, leaffolders, rice bugs, and black bugs. It occurs in all rice environments and, like other fungal diseases, requires conditions of prolonged high moisture for the airborne or waterborne spores to germinate. The fungus invades the soft tissues and body fluids of its host, and grows out of the body when ready to produce the dispersing spores. The spores appear chalky white as on the body of the brown planthopper (Fig. 159), or rice bug (Fig. 160).

There exists a dopamine agonist with a high selectivity for the D2 receptor family (particularly for D2 and D3). In early Parkinson's Disease it is able to inhibit compensatory stimulated dopamine synthesis and release by its action on presynaptic D2 receptors. It thereby protects the neurons from excess metabolic stress. Its stimulatory effects on the postsynaptic membrane, however, remain unaffected and stimulate second messenger cascades. This is followed by symptomatic improvement in non-motor (e.g. depressive symptoms) and motor symptoms (e.g. tremor, rigor, akinesia).
