Kanpur: After a lion and a peacock, a Brahminy duck died at the Kanpur zoo on Saturday evening. The staff conducted sanitisation of the enclosure after safely removing the carcass, which was dispatched to the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) in Bareilly for examination.
While a 15-year-old Asiatic lion named Pataudi died on Wednesday night, a peacock was discovered lifeless on Thursday evening along the jungle safari route.
The specimens from both animals were dispatched to the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD) Bhopal for analysis.
Meanwhile, forest ranger Naved Ikram said that samples of more than 100 zoo staff have been taken for IT-PCR tests by a team from the district health department under the supervision of the chief medical officer.
According to him, all the animals and birds are being checked every two hours. They are being given multivitamins to boost their immunity along with their food. Samples from several other animals and birds were taken on Sunday and are being sent to the lab.
It is expected that their reports will be available by Tuesday.
The lion's sample was previously forwarded to the Bareilly laboratory from Gorakhpur Zoo, with the district administration awaiting the conclusive report.

On Saturday, Bhopal's NIHSAD laboratory confirmed the presence of bird flu.
A team comprising additional director Dr Rajendra Prasad, joint director Dr Vivekanand Gangwar, joint director Dr Rajeshwar Singh, additional director Dr Anil Kumar Gehlaut, chief veterinary officer IDN Chaturvedi, alongside zoo veterinary officers and rangers, examined the lion's enclosure.
The team also assessed the birds and wildlife in the hospital area, conducting a two-hour investigation into their dietary patterns and other variables. Zoo director Shraddha Yadav announced that a one-kilometre radius surrounding the zoo has been designated as a red zone. The facility has been sectioned into six zones, with sanitisation machines in operation. They have also acquired a new large machine.
The administration is implementing measures to safeguard the wildlife while maintaining records of their food and water consumption. Currently, all remaining animals are reported to be in good health.

Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh top in female sex worker population, Maharashtra third with 9.6%
Karnataka leads in overall FSW population at 15.4% HYDERABAD: As India fights to shed its HIV burden — currently third highest in the world — the latest Programmatic Mapping and Population Size Estimation (PMPSE) study has found that Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have among the highest concentration of female sex workers — per hotspot — in the country. Overall, though, Karnataka emerged at the top of the charts with 15.4% of India's total FSW population. It was followed by Andhra Pradesh (12%), Maharashtra (9.6%), Delhi (8.9%), and Telangana (7.6%). Together, these five states accounted for over half (53%) of India's estimated 9,95,499 female sex workers. The study, published in PLOS Global Health, covered 651 districts across 32 states and UTs. Led by Pradeep Kumar of the National AIDS Control Society, it calls for periodic, community-led PMPSE to enable responsive public health strategies. The mapping exercise identified 43,579 FSW hotspots across India with presence of FSWs in 642 districts, including 34 with over 5,000 FSWs. AP was found to have five such districts, and Telangana six. FSWs were also reported in 16,095 villages. Telangana recorded the highest concentration of FSWs per hotspot — 38 per location —followed by AP with 29. In contrast, most states had a lower density, averaging 8 FSWs per hotspot nationally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Home-based sex work dominated the landscape, accounting for 55.1% of all FSW hotspots. Around 14% of FSWs were found operating exclusively through 10,718 network operators, and 9% in Link Worker Scheme (LWS) villages. There were as many as 568 mapped network operators in Telangana, one of the highest in the country. In AP, each LWS village had an average of 10 FSWs operating exclusively within the village, while in Telangana, it was 8. The PMPSE also underscored Telangana's transgender (H/TG) individuals per hotspot —around 25 — again the highest in India. It surpassed Delhi (24), Gujarat (21), AP and Maharashtra (20 each). Although Delhi had the highest overall H/TG population (18.6%), Telangana stood out for its concentrated presence at identified locations. Nationally, 96,193 H/TG individuals were estimated, with 90.8% found at hotspots. Telangana's share came from fewer mapped hotspots but with higher density. In total, 6,585 H/TG hotspots were identified, with key informant data gathered from 15,231 individuals within the community. For men who have sex with men (MSM), Telangana reported the highest density again —50 MSM per hotspot — followed by Delhi (29) and Goa (27). Though AP contributed 6.3% to the national MSM population, Telangana's role in terms of hotspot concentration points to a more complex landscape of risk.
