encountered in bitches and queens, the etiopathogenesis of the condition is a complex one. This study aimed
to investigate the role of ultrasonography and pathological examination as tools for diagnosis of the condition
in addition to analyze the correlation between the development of the condition and related ovarian changes
in bitch and queen. During the period from January 2010 to May 2013, 12 bitches and 36 queens of different
breeds and ages (7 months up to 13 years) were examined clinically and by ultrasonography for CEHP then
ovariohysterectomy was performed in positive cases. Tissue specimens from ovaries, fallopian tubes and uteri
were collected for pathological examination. Obtained results indicated that higher incidence of CEHP was
recorded in bitches and queens over six years old and the affection was more frequent during spring season.
Griffon and Persian breeds were the most common affected breeds in bitches and queens respectively.
Clinically, affected animals suffered from inappetence, depression, polydipsia, lethargy and abdominal
distension with or without fever and vaginal discharge. Ultrasonographical examination revealed fluid filled
uterus with variable wall thickness and proliferative changes. Gross examination revealed distension of uterine
horns by capacious amount of pus with thickening and exaggerated nodularity. Microscopically, intense
suppurative inflammatory reaction involving endometrial mucosa with marked cystic dilatation and hyperplastic
proliferation of endometrial glands were observed. Moreover, variable ovarian alterations accompanied the
development of CEHP. In conclusion, CEHP is a common genital affection in bitches and queens with seasonal
and breed variation. Ultrasonography is a good diagnostic tool. Contraceptive pills administration and ovarian
cysts are incriminated in the pathogenesis of such affection.

Blood samples collected from 465 exposed and 25 unexposed individuals were tested for antibody titer against NDV through modified horse RBC haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. Among different worker groups, the highest geometric mean titer (GMT) value of 149 was recorded for vaccinator's group followed by poultry attendants (86); lab technicians ; veterinarians (61) and butchers (26). Among in different districts, the highest GMT value (160) was recorded for Haripur, Sialkot and Toba Tek Singh districts followed by Multan ; Gujranwala (130); Faisalabad (113); Bahawalnagar (98); Lahore (80); Rawalpindi (75); Chakwal (53); Sheikhupura (53) and Islamabad (26). Occupation/group and district wise the highest seropositivity was recorded for vaccinator's group (85.71%) and for Toba Tek Singh district (82.14%) whereas that of the lowest was recorded for butcher's group (20.63%) and for Islamabad district (9.68%). No marked evidence of clinical illness was recorded in exposed individuals. It was concluded that continuous exposure to NDV initiated antibody response in humans without causing clinical illness.
