Abstract
CASE HISTORY AND CLINICAL FINDINGS
A 15-year-old neutered male domestic short-haired cat was presented due to multiple 0.5–2?cm-diameter crusting plaques in the left preauricular region, over the bridge of nose, and in the right periocular region. The plaques did not appear to cause discomfort. 相似文献3.

Abstract Extract There are approximately 200 infectious diseases of animals, birds, and fish, and almost half of these are zoonoses (Meyer, 1954). This paper deals with the main points of but a few which are important in the countries of Asia and the Pacific area. These have been stressed recently at a seminar in Japan sponsored by the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. A global picture is given also, as the problems of the zoonoses are greater overseas than they are in New Zealand. To keep the problems in perspective, it should be stated that the zoonoses account for only a small percentage of human illness, partly owing to such notable achievements as pasteurization of milk for human consumption and meat inspection. 相似文献

Abstract
AIMS
To determine if equine fescue oedema (EFO) induced by grazing Mediterranean-type tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) infected with selected endophytes (Epichloë coenophiala) could be prevented by treatment with the corticosteroid, methylprednisolone, and anti-histamine, cetirizine, and to determine concentrations of lolines, specifically N-acetyl norloline (NANL), in grasses grazed by horses that did and did not develop EFO. 相似文献6.

Objective
This study aims to investigate the immunoprotection of recombinant Eg.P29 (rEg.P29) vaccine and analyze the underlying mechanism in sheep.Methods
Three groups of male sheep were immunized subcutaneously with rEg.P29 and PBS, Freund’s complete adjuvant as controls, respectively. After prime-boost vaccination, the sheep were challenged with encapsulated Echinococcus granulosus eggs. The percentage of protection in sheep was determined 36 weeks after the infection. Humoral immune response was analyzed for specific IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgM and IgE levels. Moreover, cytokines including interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4,and IL-10 were also evaluated.Results
Immunization with rEg.P29 induced protective immune responses up to 94.5 %, compared with immunoadjuvant group. The levels of specific IgG, IgG1, IgG2, and IgE as well as IFN-γ, IL-2, and IL-4 significantly increased after two immunizations (P < 0.05); however, the levels of IgM and IL-10 did not show difference.Conclusion
rEg.P29 showed Immunoprotection and induced Th1 and Th2 immune responses; hence, rEg.P29 is a potential vaccine for E. granulosus infection.8.

Abstract Extract The results of the 1965–6 New Zealand national mastitis survey (Anon., 1967) indicated that β-haemolytic staphylococci were the most common bacteria isolated from the milk of dairy cows. Effective control of β-haemolytic stapyhlococci on a national scaledepends ultimately upon an understanding of population changes of this organism within the cow and within the herd. 相似文献

Abstract Extract A budgerigar brought to the Wallaceville Animal Research Station for examination showed a severe chronic lesion of the beak and ceres. The lesion was heavily encrusted and showed honey-comb-like pitting (Fig. 1). Four birds of a flock of fifty were similarly affected. Mites were found in scrapings taken from the base of the beak and were identified as Knemidokoptes pilae, Lavoipierre and Griffiths, 1951. 相似文献

Objective
To examine the maturational competence, embryo development and expression of genes involved in oocyte maturation and cumulus expansion (GDF9, BMP15, HAS2, TNFAIP6, FGF17 and FSHr) following two standard methods of bovine COCs vitrification.Methods
Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were aspirated from slaughtered ovaries and then distributed into three groups: non-vitrified COCs (control), vitrification 1 group (V1); vitrification was performed by 15% ethylene glycol (EG) and 15% DMSO in holding media (TCM-199 with 20% FCS); and vitrification 2 group (V2); vitrification was performed by 40% EG in holding media. After vitrification, COCs were warmed in two steps and cultured and then evaluated for nuclear maturation, embryo development and gene expressions.Results
The mean (±SD) percentages of nuclear maturation and blastocyst/cleaved were higher in control group (79.5 ± 8.0 and 31.0 ± 5.1%) than the V1 (34.8 ± 9.1 and 4.4 ± 5.1%) and V2 (47.8 ± 11.7 and 7.1 ± 5.8%) groups (P < 0.05), respectively. Further, COCs in V2 group showed higher mean (±SD) percentages of cleavage compared to V1 group (31.8 ± 1.0 vs 21.7 ± 2.8%; P < 0.05). GDF9 and BMP15 expression levels were higher in COCs in the control than of the vitrification groups (P < 0.05). In addition, expression level of GDF9 and BMP15 was higher in V2 group than in V1group (P < 0.05). The expression of HAS2 and FGF17 in V1 group was lower (P < 0.05) than that of the V2 groups.Conclusions
Expression of oocyte maturation genes was affected by vitrification procedure and conditions. Using EG alone for vitrification of bovine immature COCs, resulted in higher expression of GDF9, BMP15 and production of more in vitro matured and cleaved oocytes.11.

Abstract Extract In considering any system of parasite control by management, it is useful to have a reasonably clear conception of the problem involved. Taylor (1957) has given some idea of the enormous biotic potential of the gastro-intestinal parasites of sheep. A sheep carrying quite a moderate infestation will distribute some 500,000 worm eggs each day on to the pasture it is grazing. Moreover, with present-day trends in farming efficiency, it is as well to know that, on any given area, these parasites tend to increase as the square of the number of animals depastured on it. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Drake et al. (1960) have shown that selenium will control outbreaks of lamb and hogget ill-thrift on the pumice soils of the Rotorua-Taupo area. As an ill-thrift problem also exists in calves on the newly-broken-in farms in the same area, it was decided to investigate the effect of oral selenium and other minerals in the control of this problem. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Madam: — From January 1984 to March 1986, this laboratory has undertaken a routine analysis of pasture plant leaf, maize silage, and lucerne hay for soduim. Preparation consisted of drying at 80°C for 48 hours in a hot air oven. The materials were then ground and digested in nitric perchloric acid. Sodum determination was made by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).(2) 相似文献

Abstract Extract Madam:– Aujeszky's disease (AD) was first diagnosed in New Zealand in 1976.(1) While elinical AD has been uncommon and the disease has had no appreeiable impact on the production of pigmeat for the domestic market, the presence of infection denies New Zealand pigmeat acccss to a number of overseas markets.(1) Access to these could be obtained if meat were derived from herds certified free from AD. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection has been reported in association with an outbreak of mastitis following intramam-mary infusion of cows with dry cow therapy (1) . The mastitis in that case was clinically severe and the reported mortality rate was 17%. The contaminated material was infused at drying off and the cows became affected soon after calving (2–3 months later). We report a similar outbreak of mastitis in a Thames Valley dairy herd. 相似文献

Prevalence of dentigerous cysts (ovine odontogenic cysts) in ewes in the South Island of New Zealand
Abstract Cysts in the anterior mandible of sheep are reportedly uncommon in New Zealand((1)) although their prevalence and economic significance are unknown. They usually develop around an unerupted permanent incisor, perhaps as a result of an abnormality in the eruption process, but their pathogenesis is not clear. They appear as solitary swellings which grow slowly and are lined by stratified squamous epithelium. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of these lesions in mixed-age ewes at meat plants in the South Island of New Zealand. 相似文献
