Gastrointestinal parasitic (GI) nematodes are among the most economically important parasites to livestock costing the North American cattle industry alone more than $2 billion per year. The GI parasitic nematode species H. placei and H. contortus are amongst the most common and highly pathogenic parasite species of ruminants worldwide. Although these parasites have strong host preferences, they can infect multiple host species and co-infections have been reported. H. contortus is most commonly found in sheep and goats, whereas the closely related nematode H. placei is most common in cattle and buffalo. The two parasite species are phylogenetically close and experimental co-transplantation of adult parasites can result in hybridization between the two species to produce F1 progeny which, although sterile for inter-F1 mating, can propagate when backcrossed against the parental species. Hybridization between the species is an interesting phenomenon for the transfer of genetic material. The transfer of the resistance mutations from the H. contortus (high resistant) to H. placei (low resistant) is possible due to the process of hybridization. Hence, the interspecies hybridization is of particular interest due to its potential to provide a mechanism of drug resistance. Samples of Haemonchus spp. were collected from each abattoir of each district from 40 animals (cattle and buffaloes) over the year. A total of 240 (n=180 cattle, n=60 buffalo) worms were subjected for the collection of samples from 6 districts of Punjab over the year. Twenty worms per population on an average were subjected for the collection of samples from each abattoir. Age and sex of the animal were recorded at the time of collection of samples. Samples were preserved in 70% ethanol and transferred to lab for further processing. Genetic analysis was accomplished in a set of studies. Through Pyrosequencing of the rDNA, ITS-2 and P24, SNPs were investigated the extent to which co-infections between H. placei and H. contortus species occured in cattle and buffalo hosts in Pakistan. Interspecies hybridization and/or introgression of BZ-conferring mutations between the H. placei and H. contortus in the populations is analysed through 4 different validated genetic markers. (i) Sequencing of the rDNA ITS-2 region. (ii) PCR amplification and sequencing of the isotype-1 β-tubulin (iii) Microsatellite analysis of hybrid worms. Phylogenetic network analysis of hybrid β-tubulin isotype-1 sequences also used for identification of resistance alleles arisen independently in different parasite populations, as opposed to being introduced by migration, determined the relative importance of quarantine drenching versus other aspects of ‘on-farm’ anthelmintic use. We then undertook a phylogenetic analysis of resistance and susceptible alleles in these populations to investigate the different models of the origins and spread of BZ resistance mutations. Two statistical tests (Sign Test and Wilcoxon Test) were used for the population bottlenecking effect. According to the mod shift analysis, all populations had a normal L-shaped distribution. The overall results suggested that population studies did not diverge from genetic drift equilibrium. To prevent co-infection/ hybridization, stop co-grazing of small and large ruminants. For the control of spread of drug resistance, stop animal movement from one (resistant) to other (susceptible) area. By the use of deep amplicon sequencing technique, diagnose early stage of resistance to prevent the emergence and spread of drug resistance by using alternative drug groups.

فصل دوم: صدر ِاسلام میں حدود و قصاص کی عملی تنفیذ کا جائزہ

رسول اللہﷺ جب مکہ مکرمہ سے ہجرت کرکے مدینہ منورہ تشریف لائے تو مدینہ میں ایک اسلامی ریاست کی بنیاد رکھی جسے پہلی اسلامی ریاست کا درجہ حاصل ہے ،پھر ریاست مدینہ میں مہاجرین اور انصار کو مواخات کے رشتے میں پرو دیا اور یہود کے ساتھ معاہدہ کر لیا۔ میثاق مدینہ کی رو سے رسول اللہ ﷺ مدینہ منورہ کے مُنصف قرار پائے ۔ آپ ﷺنے صحابہ کرام رضوا ن اللہ اجمعین کی اس نہج پر تربیت فرمائی کہ آپ ﷺکی وفات کے بعد انہوں نے معاشرے میں اطاعت الہی اور اتباعِ رسول ﷺ کو عام کیا اور ا سی کے مطابق زندگی بسر کی ۔ اسلام کا ابتدائی دور چاہے دور نبویﷺ ہو یا خلفائے راشدین کا دور ، یہ اللہ پاک کی رحمتوں و برکات سے بھرپورتھا۔ اس دور کو تمام مسلمان قیامت تک کے لیے مشعل راہ اور نمونہ سمجھتے ہیں۔

نبی کریم ﷺ کا مہنج اصلاحی مکی دور کے تناظر میں

Before the prophecy of Prophet (S. A. W) the overall state of Arabs was so spoilt that even it was impossible for pedagogue and rectifier to show them the right path because it was not merely the matter of rectification of faith or preaching of right path neither to make them get rid of false beliefs nor to ameliorate the society. For the fulfilment of such type of rectification the preachers and guides are always there in the society and the reparation continues or carries on. The real muddle was to eliminate the arrogance and detrimental idolism which was so incessant generation to generation in the long run that the preaching and teaching of Prophet and the endeavor of guides were ineffective for them. It was the need of time to establish such type of shelter in which people of world could refuge in it. The remedy of this issue to bring into existence such type of human who was entirely different from the primitive human being. So Holy prophet (S. A. W) came as reformist. There are many golden aspects of prophet’s (S. A. W) reformation in a society, Makk฀ life is also one of them. It is not only changed and revolutionized the whole of the human history but also changed political, social and moral scenario of world. Methodology which our Holy prophet adopted it was the first Methodology that respected and valued human wisdom along with being on right path. In this article the same view point has been discussed. The following are the main points: 1. Preacher’s conformity in words and deeds. 2. Clear mandate to set the target. 3. Perseverance to achieve the set goal. 4. The best policy for the betterment of society. 5. The key points for the leadership.

Bio-Economic Assessment of Barley and Associated Cultures With Different Geometric Arrangements

Due to alarming increase in population and limited resources of Pakistan the rate of increase of food production is very low. This is not sufficient to fulfil the needs of the population. So there is a need to increase production of crops to exploit the efficient use of available resources. To overcome these constraints and challenges, there is a need to change the present cropping system and to develop an economic-based cropping system with new geometric forms for sustainable production and to meet the increasing demand of food, feed and forage by effective utilization of resources. Keeping this in view a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the bio-economic assessment of barley and associated cultures with different geometric arrangements at the Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (Pakistan) during the years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The intercropping systems comprised barley alone, barley + gram, barley + lentil, barley + berseem, barley + linseed, barley + fennel, barley + garden cress (haloon) and barley + garlic, while the geometric arrangements involved 40 cm spaced single rows, 60 cm spaced double row strips and 100 cm spaced four row strips. Each associated culture (intercrop) was also sown as sole crop to calculate the yield advantages and competition functions. Replicated three times the experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement randomizing the geometric arrangements in main plots and intercropping systems in sub-plots. The net plot size was kept 3.2m x 7m. Results revealed that all associated cultures/intercrops reduced the grain yield of barley (main crop), however, the additional harvest obtained from associated cultures compensated much more than the losses due to associated cultures. The highest net field benefit of Rs. 157736 ha-1 was obtained from barley + garlic intercropping system as against the minimum Rs. (87008 ha-1) form barley + garden cress (haloon) intercropping system. In terms of economic and yield advantages 100 cm spaced four row strips gave highest net income ha-1 than rest of cropping systems under study. Barley appeared to be dominant crop as indicated by its higher values of relative crowding coefficient (RCC), competitive ratio (CR) and positive sign of aggressivity (A). As regard the physiological traits of barley, dry matter (DM), leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR) and leaf area duration (LAD) were reduced significantly by various associated cultures/intercrops compared to sole barley. Residual soil organic matter and nitrogen content were improved in all legume intercropping systems as compared to sole barley and non-legume intercropping systems. On the basis of land equivalent ratio (LER), the maximum yield advantage over mono-cropping of barley was recorded in barley + lentil intercropping system. The land equivalent ratio (LER) and area-time equivalent ratio (ATER) for 100 cm spaced four row strips were higher than 60 cm spaced paired row strips or 40 cm spaced single row planting of barley indicating greater biological efficiency of strip plantation than the conventional method of planting of barley. On the basis of feasibility of intercropping in barley and net return, it is recommended that farmers with small holdings can adopt barley + garlic, barley + berseem or barley + lentil intercropping systems under the irrigated conditions of Faisalabad.
