Accumulation of mule dung on tracts affects the aesthetics of hill tracks besides generating foul odour and unhygienic conditions leading to health problems in human beings who come in contact with mule dung. Purpose is to study biological characterization and pathogenic potential of mule dung from Public Health perspective!
