Veterinary Parasitology

In the past, parasitic diseases of domesticated animals were taught under preventive medicine in Department of Bacteriology.

In the past, parasitic diseases of domesticated animals were taught under preventive medicine in Department of Bacteriology. As the science advanced and major bacterial and viral diseases were controlled to some extent, the importance of parasitic diseases began to be realised. The impact of clinical and subclinical parasitosis on the health, vitality and production of the animals were appreciated and a separate post and office of the parasitologist under the Director of Animal Husbandry, Maharashtra state was created to survey, diagnose and control the parasites and their diseases in the old Bombay state in 1945. With the increasing importance of control of parasitic diseases it was necessary to introduce the subject to veterinary graduates and a department of parasitology was later on established in the college. The then existing   post of parasitologist of the Government of Bombay State was thus converted in the post of Professor of Parasitology. In addition, posts of lecturer and a Research Assistant were also created.
            Post-graduation leading to the degree of M.V.Sc. in parasitology of Bombay University started in 1960 and with that, the post of Assistant Professor was created. The Ph.D. by research was started in 1967. So far 60 students have obtained M.V.Sc. degree and 4 students were awarded Ph.D. degree in parasitology from this department.
            Dr. S.R. Rao, M.Sc., D.Sc. was the first professor who continued in the post from 1945 to 1968. Dr. L.S. Hiregouder, Dr. Bhatwadekar and Dr. J.B. Katharia were close associates of Dr. Rao in the department during the period upto 1960. During this period, Dr. D.S. Jadhav, Dr. Mannari, Dr. Harpanhal and Dr. Mokasdar worked for brief period in the department.
            Dr. L.S. Hiregouder, completed M.Sc. (Parasitolgoy) during this period, went to U.K. for higher studies. He made valuable contributions in the field of coccidian and arthropods of bats and domestic animals. He later on occupied the post of Professor in veterinary colleges at Anand and then Bangalore from where he retired few years ago.
            Dr. Bhatwadekar’s contributions are mainly in the field of bovine coccidia and Oesophagostomum spp. of cattle. He later became Deputy Director of Animal Husbandry, Gujarat state and then retired. Dr. Kathuria joined R.V.C. but kept up his interest in parasitology.
            In subsequent years Dr. N.S. Deodhar, Dr. V.G. Patil-kulkarni and Dr. M.A. Ghafoor worked in different categories and contributed to the growth and glory of the department. Dr. Deodhar was professor till 1976 after which he became Dean of this college and is retired at present. His chief research contribution was on the bionomics of infective larvae of Mecistocirrus  spp. Dr. Ghafoor did his Ph.D on epidemiology of amphistome infection in bovines and contributed immensely in the development of museum in the department. He subsequently joined veterinary college at Parbhani and retired as Associate Dean of the college.
The good work of these stalwarts was carried forward with same zeal and enthusiasm by the subsequent Professors viz., Dr. S.M. Niphadkar and Dr. V.S. Narsapur. Dr. Niphadkar worked on helminth parasites of rodents in Bombay and their zoonotic significance. He was the person with great administrative mind and was instrumental in streamlining the departmental activities. Dr. Narsapur took over from Dr. Niphadkar in 1992 and continued the good work to the level of international recognition. His pioneering work on speciation and biology of oribatid mites and their role in life-cycle of anoplocephaline tapeworms is referred and quoted in number of national and international publications. Dr. Narsapur is one of the best teachers the college has ever produced.
Research Achievements:
            The research highlights of the department are as follows:
  • Discovery of Eimeria bombayansis, E. mundaragi in cattle and E. gokaki in buffaloes
  • First report of Trichinella spiralis in pigs in India
  • Speciation, bionomics of Oribatid mites and first report of their role as intermediate host of Avitellina spp.
  • Prevalence of helminthic fauna of rodents in Mumbai region
  • Surveillance of amphistomes occurring in ruminants in Maharashtra

Dr. Sasurla Ram Mohan Rao
Professor & Head
Department of Veterinary Parasitology
Period: 1945-1968
           
The late Dr. Sasurla Ram Mohan Rao, was a well-known parasitologist of India and is founder of the Department of Parasitology, Bombay Veterinary College in 1945. He was first D.Sc. Zoology (1939) and faculty of Benaras Hindu University, Varanasi. He worked in USA at Johns Hopkins Institute in early fifties.
 
As a Dean of Faculty of Technology, Bombay University, starting Post Graduate Programme in Bombay Veterinary College (1960) goes to his credit. He guided 15 students for master’s degree and 3 students for doctoral studies. He has more than 100 research publications in reputed journals.
            He was honoured with “Professor of Emeritus” by University Grants Commission. The scientific community of India has also honoured by electing him as President of Indian Science Congress Association (Medical & Veterinary Division) in 1968. He wrote a book on “A decade of Progress in Veterinary Science 1960-70” published by Indian Science Congress Association.
            His main contribution is in the field of ticks, Oribatid mites, amphistomes, trichinellosis and strongyles, particularly, coccidiosis and reported few new species, viz. Eimeria bombayansis (1954) and E. mundaragi (1956) of cattle and E. gokaki (1959) of buffalo.
 
Dr. V.S. Deshpande became Professor of parasitology after retirement of Dr. Narsapur in 1996. He was instrumental in getting a research scheme on “Immunodiagnosis of bladder worms in food animals” from ICAR.
At present, the department is headed by Dr. M. L. Gatne who worked on immunodiagnosis of hydatidosis in farm animals for his doctoral degree. Dr. Gatne and his team brought number of agency schemes to the department and extended the diagnostic facilities to pet owners, farmers, veterinarians and laboratory animal houses on commercial scale that generated a lot of revenue. This step took the department on the path of self sustenance. With the availability of self earned funds, the aesthetic outlook of the department was rejuvenated to a presentable state. A laboratory of molecular parasitology was established in 2008 to keep up the pace with advances in veterinary parasitology. He was instrumental for collaborating with University of Queensland, Australia under which two projects were completed. He has also been appointed as an External Member on the Advisory Panel of a Ph. D student of University of Queensland.
