Serological study of contagious agalactia in herds of goats in the Canary Islands

An indirect ELISA, using local strains of Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides large colony (MmmLC), was applied to evaluate the seroprevalence of M agalactiae and MmmLC in flocks of goats on each of the Canary Islands. In total 3890 samples of serum were collected from 204 flocks. The results indicated that the seroprevalence of both organisms is high on all the islands; average values of 55 per cent and 67 per cent were recorded, respectively, for M agalactiae and MmmLC.     

Incidence of abortions caused by leptospirosis in sheep and goats in Spain

From 1970 to 1985, 973 outbreaks of abortion in sheep and 262 outbreaks of abortion in goats from southern Spain were studied. Of these, 1.7 and 2.6% respectively were caused by leptospiras, chiefly by the serovar pomona (11 flocks of sheep, 64.7%, and six herds of goats, 75.0%) and in a lower proportion the serovars sejroe (three flocks of sheep 17.6%, and one herd of goats, 12.5%), icterohaemorrhagiae (two and one outbreaks respectively) and grippotyphosa in one ovine flock (5.8%). The mean rates of attach (X + SD) of abortions by leptospirosis have been estimated as 16.9 + 6.5% in ovine outbreaks and 20.7 + 8.3% among goats.     

Seroprevalence of goat toxoplasmosis on Grand Canary Island (Spain)

Sera drawn from 1052 Canary goats on the island of Grand Canary were tested to determine the prevalence of antibodies to (IgG) Toxoplasma gondii using an indirect ELISA test. The total prevalence was 63.31%. Significant differences were found between the island's four climatic zones. The highest seroprevalence was in animals from low altitude zones with very little rainfall, high temperatures and a predominance of trade winds.

Incidence of Oestrus ovis infestation in Borno-white Sahel goats in the semi-arid zone of Nigeria

Research conducted on the incidence of Oestrus ovis in Maiduguri showed that 53.8% of the 4,000 Borno-White Sahel goats examined were parasitised. The mean year-round infestation per goat was 2.03 larvae. Adult goats had a higher infestation rate than younger ones (60 versus 47.5%). Infestation rates for the females and males were 55.2 and 52.2%, respectively. Nevertheless there was no statistical significance between values for the different age and sex groups studied. Different larval stages were encountered throughout the year with a 3rd instar peak between May and September and a first instar peak from June to October suggesting a fly period between June and October.

Inguinal herniation with hydrometra/mucometra in a poodle bitch

A 5-year-old, sexually intact poodle bitch was presented with a 2-year history of inguinal mass. A tentative diagnosis of hydrometra/mucometra with inguinal herniation was made and ovariohysterectomy with hernia repair was performed. Both fluid-filled uterine horns, both broad ligaments, and the uterine body were observed to be herniated through the inguinal ring. On histopathology, marked edema and diffuse hemorrhage were diagnosed in the uterus.
