discuss the study design, the relevant data to be collected, how two animal species i.e. cattle and pigs can be incorporated in one paper for discussion and the most relevant data analysis techniques for data that spans 5 years.
Good morning Benard Mzapi, You have an interesting ?, that I know nothing about in terms of the animal species/ measurement biology/chemistry. However, from a statistical point of view, you need to consider how retrospective you want this to be, what datasets you have access to & how many time points of measurement you have, are they comparable? Are the measurements continuous or categorical & what other co factors or variates are you wanting to measure/ get data on. Then decide on your analysis. What program are you using for statistical analysis? Good luck with this.
To carry out a retrospective study on the prevalence of Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, and Echinococcus granulosus at abattoirs, you would need to follow these steps:
You can perform the study design by performing clinical examinations, parasitological examinations, biochemical examinations and oversight in slaughterhouses.
The abattoirs are a unique location for retrospective study of Taenia sodium, Taenia saginata and Echinococcus granulosus as all the affected hosts (pigs, cattle, dogs and man) may be found in the abattoirs especially in Nigeria where stray dogs in abattoirs are not uncommon.
But a proper record keeping must bein place, Without an excellent records, it may be difficult to carry out your research.
