To determine if there were significant differences produced by 5 of the most prevalent causes of equine enterocolitis, we studied retrospectively the gross and microscopic pathology of 90 cases of enterocolitis submitted to the San Bernardino laboratory of the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory. Included were cases caused by Clostridium perfringens type C (CP; n = 20), Clostridioides difficile (CD; n = 20), Paeniclostridium sordellii (PS; n = 15), Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST; n = 20), and NSAID intoxication (NS; n = 15). Grossly, necrotizing hemorrhagic typhlocolitis was seen most frequently in cases of CD, ST, and NS disease. Cases of CP and PS had enteritis or colitis in similar percentages. Congestion, hemorrhage, and pleocellular inflammatory infiltrates followed by mucosal and submucosal necrosis were the main lesions found in horses with enteritis or colitis produced by any of the etiologic agents investigated. Severe lesions were more frequent in cases of CD and CP than in cases associated with any of the other 3 etiologies. Pseudomembranes were observed with similar prevalence in the small intestine and colon affected by all agents studied. Thrombosis of the lamina propria and/or submucosa was observed in ~50% of the cases of enteritis and colitis by all etiologies, except for PS, in which the majority of the cases had thrombosis. Gross and microscopic lesions of enterocolitis were not sufficiently specific for any of these etiologic agents to enable these enteritides to be distinguished by gross and/or histologic examination. 相似文献

Tick-borne diseases are often encountered in canine clinical practice. In the present
study, a molecular epidemiological survey of dogs in Japan was conducted to understand the
prevalence and geographical distribution of Babesia spp.,
Hepatozoon spp., Ehrlichia spp. and
Anaplasma spp. Pathogen-derived DNA in blood samples obtained from 722
dogs with a history of exposure to ticks and/or fleas was examined by PCR. The prevalence
of Babesia gibsoni, Babesia odocoilei-like species,
Hepatozoon canis and Ehrlichia
spp./Anaplasma spp. was 2.4% (16/722), 0.1% (1/722), 2.5% (18/722) and
1.5% (11/722), respectively. While B. gibsoni and
Ehrlichia spp./Anaplasma spp. were detected in the
western part of Japan, H. canis was detected in Tohoku area in addition
to western and central parts of Japan. 相似文献

Salvia reflexa (lance-leaf sage)-contaminated alfalfa hay was fed to ~500 mixed-breed beef cattle. Within hours of exposure, nearly half of the cattle developed lethargy, anorexia, depression, and recumbency, followed by bellowing, colic, and death. Even though the uneaten contaminated hay was removed the first day, nearly 100 animals died within the first 48 h. Three of these cattle were examined postmortem, and tissues and hay samples were collected for microscopic and chemical analysis. Several days later, a smaller number of the clinically poisoned cattle developed neurologic disease with aberrant behavior, aggression, icterus, blindness, exhaustion, and death. A total of 165 cattle were fatally poisoned. Poisoned cattle had swollen, dark, mottled livers that had a prominent nutmeg-like lobular pattern on cut section. Histologically, there was severe centrilobular-to-panlobular hepatic necrosis with marked hepatocellular swelling, degeneration, and necrosis. The surviving cattle developed liver disease characterized by altered serum biochemical analyses and microscopic hepatocellular degeneration and necrosis. In subsequent biopsies and analysis, these lesions resolved within 6–7 mo. After confirming toxicity of the hay in cattle, goats, and mice, followed by a mouse bioassay–guided chemical fractionation process, Salvia reflexa was identified as the contaminant in the hay responsible for the hepatotoxicity. S. reflexa has not been reported previously to cause fatal hepatotoxicity in livestock in North America, to our knowledge. 相似文献

The purposes of the present study were to clarify age- and season- related androgen
patterns, and to compare the reproductive physiology between Japanese captive koala
populations and Australian populations. To measure fecal androgens, feces were collected
from male koalas (4.2 to 13.8 years of age) kept in Japanese zoos. Fecal androgens were
extracted with methanol from the lyophilized samples and determined by enzyme immunoassay
using 4-androstene-3,17-dione antibody. Fecal androgen concentration in male koalas
increased after sexual maturation and remained relatively high until old age. In the
survey with the Japanese zoo studbook of koalas, copulation (conception) month showed a
pyramid shape with a peak in March to June (60.7%) in koalas born and reared in Japanese
zoos and from July to April with the highest concentration in September to January (69.7%)
in Australian institutes. Japanese zoo koala populations have a characteristic
physiological cycle adapted to Japan''s seasonal changes. The suitable month of year for
copulation or conception in Japan is diametrically opposed to that in Australia. Mean
fecal androgen concentrations by month in the males born and reared in Japan indicated
annual changes with the highest concentration in May and the lowest value in November.
Fecal androgen analysis may be a noninvasive alternative tool to monitor circulating
testosterone and may be helpful in understanding reproductive activity and physiology in
male koalas. 相似文献

Test data generated by ~60 accredited member laboratories of the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD) is of exceptional quality. These data are captured by 1 of 13 laboratory information management systems (LIMSs) developed specifically for veterinary diagnostic laboratories (VDLs). Beginning ~2000, the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) developed an electronic messaging system for LIMS to automatically send standardized data streams for 14 select agents to a national repository. This messaging enables the U.S. Department of Agriculture to track and respond to high-consequence animal disease outbreaks such as highly pathogenic avian influenza. Because of the lack of standardized data collection in the LIMSs used at VDLs, there is, to date, no means of summarizing VDL large data streams for multi-state and national animal health studies or for providing near-real-time tracking for hundreds of other important animal diseases in the United States that are detected routinely by VDLs. Further, VDLs are the only state and federal resources that can provide early detection and identification of endemic and emerging zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic diseases are estimated to be responsible for 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million deaths worldwide every year. The economic and health impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is self-evident. We review here the history and progress of data management in VDLs and discuss ways of seizing unexplored opportunities to advance data leveraging to better serve animal health, public health, and One Health. 相似文献

The New World monkey Aotus spp. (night monkeys) are expected
for use of valuable experimental animal with the close species of Saimiri
spp. (squirrel monkeys). Saimiri is known to show spontaneous
hypercortisolemia, although few reports in Aotus. We compared basic
states of blood steroid hormones and histological structure of the adrenal glands in two
monkeys. Serum cortisol and ACTH levels were statistically lower in Aotus
than Saimiri. Conversely, Aotus adrenocortical area
showed significant enlargement, especially at the zona fasciculata. Electron microscopic
observation at Aotus fasciculata cells revealed notable accumulation of
large lipid droplets and irregular shapes of the mitochondrial cristae. These results
suggest potential differences in cellular activities for steroidogenesis between
Aotus and Saimiri and experimental usefulness in
adrenocortical physiology and pathological models. 相似文献

The aims of this pilot study were to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of high-dose hypofractionated volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) applied to whole pelvic region radiotherapy (WPRT) with multilevel simultaneous integrated boost (MLSIB) combined with piroxicam and chemotherapy for the treatment of canine transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the lower urinary tract with muscle invasion TCC. Twelve dogs were enrolled, according to stage, in two groups: group 1, TCC confined to the urinary tract; group 2, TCC with metastasis. The planning target volume dose was tailored from 36 to 42 Gy in 6 fractions. All dogs were prescribed piroxicam and radiosensitizing carboplatin, and six received chemotherapy after radiotherapy. Serial follow-ups with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Disease control and toxicity effects were evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors and Veterinary Radiation Therapy Oncology Group criteria. The treatment was well tolerated, and no high-grade side effects were reported. The median overall survival times for groups 1 and 2 were 1,230 and 150 days, respectively. A considerable percentage of patients in group1 (50%) were still alive at the time of writing this paper, and a longer follow-up could enable a more accurate survival analysis. This preliminary analysis shows that VMAT applied to the WPRT with MLSIB is an effective and safe option for dogs with lower urinary TCC, although the presence of metastases worsens the prognosis. 相似文献

STX is an agonist for a
recently characterized membrane estrogen receptor whose structure has not been identified.
We evaluated whether STX suppresses gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)–induced
luteinizing hormone (LH) release from bovine anterior pituitary (AP) cells. We cultured AP
cells (n=12) for 3 days in steroid-free conditions, followed by increasing concentrations
(0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 nM) of 17β-estradiol or STX for 5 min before GnRH stimulation
until the end of the experiment. Estradiol (0.001 to 0.1 nM) significantly suppressed
GnRH-stimulated LH secretion, whereas STX did not affect GnRH-stimulated LH secretion at
any of the tested concentrations. In conclusion, STX, unlike estradiol, possesses no
suppressive effect on GnRH-induced LH release from bovine AP cells. 相似文献
