Preventive treatment of rabbit coccidiosis with alpha-difluoromethylornithine

The effect of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) administered in drinking water (0.2 and 0.5%) against liver and intestinal coccidioses in experimentally infected rabbits was studied. Zootechnical and clinical parameters were used to assess the efficacy of the compound. In both coccidioses the lower dose did not show any important effect. The higher dosage (0.5%) however, reduced the lesions induced by coccidia to an important extent. The animals infected and treated with 0.5% DFMO showed similar weight gain, food intake and relative liver weight figures to the non-infected controls. Serum transaminase levels in the rabbits infected with Eimeria stiedai and treated with 0.5% DFMO were close to those of the non-infected animals. Infected rabbits treated with this dosage also showed reductions (over 80%) in faecal oocyst output.     

新形势下兔球虫病的防控措施

兔球虫病是养兔业常见及危害最严重的一种寄生虫病,给养兔业造成巨大的经济损失,幼兔感染严重者甚至引起死亡,成年兔一般呈耐性感染.目前兔球虫病的防控主要以药物防控为主,不合理的抗球虫药物使用容易导致虫株耐药性、药物残留和毒性等问题的出现.随着减抗、替抗和禁抗养殖的持续推进,本文介绍可行的化学药物、中药、微生态制剂和饲养管理...     

兔球虫病的危害及防治进展

本文对兔球虫病的病原种类、流行特征、症状、诊断、疫苗免疫及防治等进行了综述,旨在为有效防控兔球虫病提供参考。     

兔球虫病的诊断与综合防制

兔的球虫病是由艾美耳球虫引起的一种兔寄生虫病。断乳后(约45d)到4月龄的兔最易感染,感染率可达70%,死亡率高达80%以上。成年兔常成为带虫者。此病常见且危害非常严重,因此,给广大兔养殖者带来巨大的损失。笔者根据近几年临床经验,针对兔球虫病的诊断与综合防制谈几点看法。     

Studies on an outbreak of intestinal coccidiosis in the dog

An outbreak of intestinal coccidiosis in the dog due to Isospora canis characterized by mild severe haemorrhagic diarrhoea of sudden onset, acute abdominal pain, anorexia, dehydration and relative polycythaemia is described. Although clinical recovery followed sulphonamide therapy, reinfection was common within 10 days of treatment.     

兔感染肝球虫后肝脏的病理学试验报告

对试验兔进行抗肝球虫试验,观察其病理现象,并记录攻毒对照组患兔的剖检症状,制作其肝脏切片进行显微观察和照相。同时采用3种中药方刑和球王珠利叶病免进行治疗,试验证明,常白加味汤和球王珠利时球虫有良好疗效。     

Efficacy of diclazuril in the control of intestinal coccidiosis in rabbits

The anticoccidial efficacy of diclazuril was studied in rabbits artificially infected with Eimeria flavescens, Eimeria intestinalis, Eimeria magna and Eimeria perforans. Continuous administration at 1 and 2 ppm in pelleted feed proved to be highly efficacious in controlling oocyst output and faecal scores. The weight gain was comparable and the feed efficiency slightly improved compared with the non-infected, non-medicated controls, and clinical signs were fully prevented. Medication of rabbits at 0.5 ppm also provided a significant improvement in all parameters compared with the infected, non-medicated controls. In order to obtain 100% effectiveness in the control of intestinal coccidiosis in rabbits, continuous medication at 1 ppm is recommended.     

Efficacy of toltrazuril against intestinal and hepatic coccidiosis in rabbits

The anticoccidial effect of toltrazuril (Bay Vi 9142) against Eimeria flavescens, E. intestinalis, E. magna, E. perforans and E. stiedai was tested in experimentally-infected rabbits. Continuous administration of 10-15 p.p.m. of the drug in the drinking water was highly effective in reducing oocyst output of all five species and in preventing clinical signs and macroscopic lesions. Sporulation of excreted oocysts was not affected. After 5 weeks of medication, no negative influence was noted on zootechnic performance of growing healthy rabbits. Medication of rabbits with 25 p.p.m. only during schizogony or gamogony (2 days of treatment, repeated after 5 days) quickly reduced clinical signs and oocyst output. When administered during late schizogony or gamogony, toltrazuril allowed development of immunity against reinfection with homologous species.     

Sulfonamide and toltrazuril therapy of experimental turkey coccidiosis

Following experimental infection of caged turkeys with a mixed oocyst suspension of E. meleagrimitis, E. adenoeides and E. gallopavonis, the efficacy of sulfachlorpyrazine, sulfaquinoxaline + pyrimethamine, sulfaquinoxaline + diaveridine, and toltrazuril was investigated based on clinical and parasitological parameters. Infected turkeys developed severe clinical symptoms. Only weak symptoms were observed in those groups which were treated with the sulfa- and sulfa-DHFR-inhibitors. The toltrazuril-treated group remained free of clinical symptoms. At the 8th day after infection, the clinical lesions coincided with the intensity of the gut lesions together with parasitological findings based on microscopical examination of mucosal smears. The same coincidence was observed for parameters such as oocyst excretion and body weight development.     

Amprolium and furazolidone as preventive treatment for intestinal coccidiosis of piglets

Two coccidiostats, amprolium and furazolidone, were used as preventive treatments for intestinal coccidiosis in three-day-old piglets experimentally infected with 50,000 sporulated oocysts of Isospora suis.

All infected piglets, treated or not, displayed clinical signs compatible with coccidiosis. Diarrhea and anorexia appeared around five days postinoculation in the non-treated and in the amprolium-treated groups; these signs were delayed to days 7 and 8 postinoculation in the furazolidone-treated group. The treatments did not prevent growth retardation. Amprolium seemed to reduce oocyst shedding whereas furazolidone had no effect. Villous atrophy was present in all infected piglets.

     

中西医结合防治兔球虫综合症

2003年夏天以来,我县熊家庙乡及周边地区饲养的毛用兔流行一种以粪便呈橘红色且带泡沫,颈部麻痹、瘫痪、惊叫,死亡率不断增加为特征的肠道疾病。大多数养殖户误认为是小肠球虫病,但用抗球虫药治疗效果不佳。我们根据临床症状和剖检变化分析该病
