Entamoeba histolytica cysts were recovered from dog faeces at Loon Lake, Saskatchewan.
Toxocara canis had low incidence in Saskatchewan and Central Alberta, and appeared to be almost non-existent further North. Toxascaris leonina was found in all areas surveyed. Canine hookworm infections were plentiful in all areas, the highest incidence being recorded from Northern Alberta and Northwest Territories. Many Taenia (or Echinococcus) infections were found consistently in all areas. Only one infection with Dipylidium caninum was discovered.
Metorchis conjunctus infections were found to be common in the Saskatchewan reserves. Infections with Diphyllobothrium sp. were found in all communities with access to good fishing. One specimen of Dioctophyma renale was recovered at necropsy.
Infections with parasites of no known zoonotic importance such as Trichuris, Alaria and Isospora species were also recorded.

Eleven species of clostridia were isolated from a total of 524 products tested. Some products harboured more than one species.
C. sporogenes, one of the most heat resistant organisms, was the most common type isolated.
C. sordellii produced a transient illness in guinea pigs while all other species were innocuous.
相似文献The sera of dairy cattle and goats were higher than rabbit serum in average growth number, and thus gave great value for the cultivation of Leptospires.
In eight kinds of animals other than dairy cattle, the growth promoting action of the pooled sera for Leptospires were lower than that of the individual sera of the same kind of animals.
The serum which is to be added to the medium for the cultivation of Leptospires should be tested by a screening test for the absence of growth inhibitory action against Leptospires, no matter from what kind of animal the serum originated.
相似文献Identification of Cl. Perfringens was based on atmospheric requirements for growth, colonial morphology, and stormy fermentation in litmus milk. Identification of toxins was based on neutralization tests in guinea pigs and mice.
Cl. Perfringens was isolated from 202 of 399 samples. In 105 additional cultures, colonies characteristic of Cl. Perfringens were present but could not be isolated in pure culture.
Cl. Perfringens type D toxin was identified in only one culture, which was inoculated with ileum contents. Type A toxin was identified in eight of the 24 samples from the one lot of samples in which no type A antitoxin was used. There were no identifications of toxigenic types B, C, or E.
The results indicate that an isolation from necropsy specimens of untyped Cl. Perfringens or type A Cl. Perfringens is in itself of little significance. The infrequency of occurrence of the other toxigenic types in this survey of healthy cattle indicates that recovery of these types from necropsy specimens may be of more significance in determining the cause of death.

No sera from 17 deer known to be free of Theileria infection reacted positively to the CF test. Of 35 tests on sera from 12 infected deer having a parasitemia of 2% or less and no accompanying anemia, only 10 (29%) were positive, 2 (6%) were suspicious, and 23 (66%) were negative. Of 65 tests on 8 acutely infected deer, 49 (75%) were positive, 4 (6%) were suspicious and 12 (18%) were negative. Of the 8 deer in which acute theileriasis occurred all reacted to Theileria antigen at one time or another.
A significant correlation was found between CF titers and the degree of parasitemia in acute infections.
Rabbits were hyperimmunized using erythrocytes from either normal or Theileria infected deer. Reciprocal absorption of the hyperimmune sera with Theileria and normal erythrocytic antigens demonstrated the presence of antibodies specific for Theileria.
相似文献Bordetella bronchiseptica was not isolated from the groups fed the combination of chlortetracycline, penicillin and sulfamethazine. B. bronchiseptica was found in some pigs after the feeding trail, but this organism was not significantly associated with turbinate atrophy at the time of slaughter.
Mycoplasma hyorhinis was not found in the nasal passages of the pigs that received feed containing high concentration chlortetracycline but was found in pigs that received other diets. Hemophilus suis was not significantly reduced by any of the treatments used.
The organisms studied in the pigs were not isolated from the personnel handling the pigs.

The labelled endotoxin became associated with neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, platelets and erythrocytes. Association of 3H-endotoxin with formed elements of the blood occurred during the first five minutes of incubation and did not significantly change over the course of a three hour incubation period. Tolerance did not result in increased uptake of 3H-endotoxin by formed elements of the blood. Tolerance of calves to endotoxin is apparently not due to increased uptake of endotoxin by formed elements of the blood.
The Limulus amebocyte lysate assay was unreliable for the detection of endotoxin which was present in calf blood in vitro and requires further modification.

A comparison of the antigenic properties of various strains of M. bovis and M. bovis-like organisms was conducted using the test. The results indicated that there might be antigenic relationships between M. bovisand M. bovis-like organisms such as Moraxella liquefaciens, Moraxella nonliquefaciens, an unidentified hemolytic diplococcus, Mima polymorpha, Mima polymorpha var. oxidans and Herellea vaginicola
The authors suggest that the GDPT can be used for serological studies of BIK, and the identification and antigenic analysis of M. bovis. They indicate, however, that a more definitive study is needed to evaluate the reliability of the test for quantitative work.
相似文献The fluorescent antibody (FA) conjugate against Vom strain of Mycoplasma mycoides var. capri was Vom strain-specific, no cross reaction with Mexico, Connecticut, or Maryland strains. Similarly, the Mexico strain conjugate was specific for colonies of Mexico, and did not cross with the Vom, strain. Additionally, the conjugate of the PG-2 strain of Mycoplasma agalactiae, which was specific for the colonies of PG-2 was refractory for the strain #99 of M. agalactiae.
It was therefore possible to utilize an immunofluorescent technique (incident ultraviolet light) to demonstrate differences among strains of M. mycoides var. capri and M. agalactiae.
相似文献Bacteria found on normal conjunctival membranes were Neisseria ovis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermididis, Streptococcus and Bacillus spp.
Bacteria found in clinical cases of Pink-eye were N. ovis, E. coli, a Streptococcus and Pseudomonas spp.

Diarrhea was observed initially two to four hours after feeding the filtrate prepared from the enteropathogenic E. coli. The duration of diarrhea was five to ten hours. No diarrhea was observed after feeding filtrate prepared from uninoculated medium or cultures of nonenteropathogenic E. coli.
The pH values of the feces increased with the onset of diarrhea and decreased to normal after diarrhea stopped.
No histopathological lesions were found.

This fluorescent antibody (FA) method was developed to identify colonies of Vom strain of Mycoplasma mycoides var. capri, V-5 strain of M. mycoides var. mycoides, and PG-2 strain of M. agalactiaeon agar, using fluorescent ultraviolet light. Fluorescence was not demonstrated when heterologous conjugates or normal rabbit serum conjugate were applied but the reaction appeared to be specific for each strain of mycoplasma.
The FA method was able to differentiate specific mycloplasma colonies in mixed cultures.
相似文献In the Calves the compound was very effective (90 to 99%) against adult Haemonchus placei, Ostertagia spp., Trichostrongylus axei and Cooperia oncophora at all levels tested (15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 60 mg/kg). Against adult Nematodirus spp. dosages of 30, 40 and 60 mg/kg were 81%, 94% and 99% effective respectively
Against arrested Ostertagia spp. larvae, a dosage of 60 mg/kg was 90% effective. Immature stages of Cooperia spp. were susceptible at all levels used but those of Nematodirus spp. required levels of 60 mg/kg for 99% removal.
In the lambs the compound was highly effective against immature and mature nematodes when given orally at all levels tested from 15 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg. Significant reductions (81%) in Moniezia expansa scolices were also observed at dosages from 15 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg.
相似文献It was found that 0.05% or 0.5% formalin added to suspensions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa or ultrasonification of the suspension produced better results than 0.5% phenol, 0.3% alcohol or heat at 100°C for half an hour.
Chinchillas vaccinated with two doses of formolized Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterins were immune for 36 weeks after the second dose, while all controls died within 48 hours after being challenged.
It was found that the protection afforded by the polyvalent bacterin extended beyond the strains included in the vaccine.
A field survey on 34 ranches which included over 7,700 chinchillas showed very promising and encouraging results.

Pulmonary edema was induced by three different methods: by an aerosol of histamine, by intravenous injection of endotoxin and by intravenous injection of croton oil emulsion. The edema impaired the clearance of P. hemolytica, which was reflected in high numbers of P. hemolytica present in the lungs at four hours after challenge: 260% after histamine, 300% and 400% after endotoxin and 92% after croton oil.
Six days of treatment of four calves with high doses of hydrocortisone acetate produced inconsistent results: two calves treated with a higher daily dose (36 mg/kg) had normal clearance whereas two calves treated with a lower dose had pulmonary edema and displayed lowered clearance with 111% and 31% respectively of P. hemolytica retained in the lungs four hours after challenge.
Immunization of calves by three different methods, a subcutaneously injected bacterin of P. hemolytica (2 calves), single aerosol (2 calves) and four aerosols (4 calves) of live P. hemolytica was reflected in an accelerated pulmonary clearance of P. hemolytica (with a mean of 1.55% of bacteria retained at four hours).
Concurrent infection with parainfluenza-3 virus did not lower the clearance of P. hemolytica in the lungs of 12 calves over 15 days except on the first day following the exposure to parainfluenza-3 virus. These calves had hemagglutinating antibodies against P. hemolytica before exposure.

P.haemolytica were isolated from 15 selected major anatomical areas of the nasal cavity in calves with high numbers of P.haemolytica following shipment from Western Canada. When the organisms were present in the nasal cavity of live animals in low numbers, they were isolated from many, but not all, areas. P.haemolytica was isolated post mortem from one or more selected areas of several nasal cavities in spite of negative antemortem cultures.
By the direct fluorescent antibody technique, P.haemolytica was demonstrated at the surface of nasal epithelial cells. Organisms were not seen in or between epithelial cells nor in the ducts nor alveoli of glands. The findings were similar when high and low numbers of P.haemolytica were present in the nasal cavity.
相似文献The pH of the medium was an important influence on the rate of colonial formation of Leptospires.
Addition of hemoglobin and inactivation of rabbit serum was not an essential condition for rapid colonial formation. It was found that variation in the morphology of leptospiral colonies occurred with hemoglobin from different species and individuals.

In the sera of the infected animals the hemagglutinating antibodies were present at low titers at the third week post-infestation by using somatic extract of G. intestinalis and at the seventh week in case of G. nasalis. At eight weeks post-infestation the antibody titers reached their maximum 1:8192 (G. intestinalis) and 1:4096 (G. nasalis), then dropped at 12 weeks post-infestation.
The complement fixing antibodies were present occasionally between the seventh and 11th weeks after infestation. Precipitating antibodies were absent in all sera.
