Edwardsiellosis in farmed turbot,Scophthalmus maximus (L.), associated with an unusual variant of Edwardsiella tarda: a clinical,aetiological and histopathological study

During 2005 and 2010, a survey of edwardsiellosis on eight turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), farms was conducted in China. This report presents the detailed results of the study on this disease. Diseased turbot displayed two distinct types of gross signs: black discoloration of the dorsal skin on the posterior portion of the body; and red cutaneous foci on the ventral side. Internally, the most pronounced clinical signs in all fish examined were enlarged kidneys. The causal agent of the disease was finally proved to be one species of bacterium that was identified as Edwardsiella tarda by physiological and biochemical tests, API 32E and 16S ribosomal RNA sequence analysis. It is noteworthy that unlike the commonly described E. tarda strains, the isolates in this study were non‐motile strains without flagella. A histopathological study revealed that E. tarda infection was systemic in turbot and that kidney showed the most significant pathological changes, including acute focal necrosis, an influx of macrophages and formation of granuloma. The most common histopathological characteristics of this disease are the proliferation of macrophage in various organs and formation of granuloma. In addition, this article also gave background information on the disease and presented the results of virulence tests with the E. tarda strain identified in this study.     

枯草芽孢杆菌MN菌株由来胶原蛋白酶的纯化与生化性质

从传统小麦粉发酵食品中分离得到一株革兰氏阳性且为兼性需氧的内生芽孢杆菌,命名为枯草芽孢杆菌MN菌株,该菌能产生胶原蛋白酶,其16S核糖体核酸序列与枯草芽孢杆菌显示99%的同源性.通过一系列的离子交换层析与分子筛层析,该菌分泌产生的胶原蛋白酶被分离纯化到单一条带,通过分子筛层析预测该胶原蛋白酶的分子量为33 kDa,其活性最适反应温度与酸碱度分别为55℃和pH 11.0,而且该酶的热稳定性与酸碱度稳定性分别为50℃和pH5.0～11.0.     

恒河猴(M.mulatta)肝囊原虫病的研究——Ⅱ.病理学观察

对恒河猴(M.mulatta)肝囊原虫病的病理变化进行了系统观察与描述,发现除肝脏囊样病灶与炎性浸润外,尚有不同程度的肝外器官损害,其中一例首次查出肺部迷路寄生。另外,作者还对本病的发病机制作出初步讨论。     

Dermatophyte granulomas caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes in a dog

Multiple, dermal and subcutaneous nodules developed in a young female Manchester Terrier dog that had a chronic history of superficial dermatophytosis. Skin biopsy specimens of the nodules revealed granulomatous inflammation in the deep dermis and subcutis with branching fungal organisms. Cultures of multiple biopsy specimens from the nodules all yielded Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The lesions in this dog were similar to granulomatous dermatophytosis, a skin disease that has been reported in Persian cats and one Yorkshire Terrier dog.     

Ovariectomy as treatment for ovarian bacterial granulomas in a Duvaucel's gecko (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii)

CASE HISTORY: An adult female Duvaucel's gecko (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii) from a threatened species breeding programme presented due to a prolonged gestation period and distended abdomen.

CLINICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS: The gecko was in lean body condition with an irregularly shaped, firm mass in the coelomic cavity. Radiographically there was a diffuse radio-opacity within the coelomic cavity with cranial displacement of the right lung field. Ultrasonography revealed a round homogenous abdominal mass of medium echogenicity with an echogenic capsule. Haematology showed a leucocytosis with a moderate left shift in heterophils and toxic changes. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed to remove two ovarian granulomas and Salmonella enterica subspecies houtenae (IV) was cultured from the ovarian tissue. The gecko recovered well from the surgery, regained weight and remained in good health 3 years following the surgery.

DIAGNOSIS: Pre-ovulatory stasis and ovarian granulomas associated with infection with Salmonella enterica subsp. houtenae.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The surgery described in this case resulted in recovery of the gecko, which despite its loss of reproductive capability is of value as an education animal. This is the first report of pre-ovulatory stasis and ovarian granulomas associated with infection with Salmonella enterica in a Duvaucel's gecko and is also the first reported case of pre-ovulatory stasis in a viviparous lizard species. The case adds to knowledge regarding potential reproductive pathology in lizards, which is particularly important information for managers of captive lizard breeding programmes.     

不同剂量新疆阿魏对血吸虫活性的影响

为了探讨新疆阿魏杀灭血吸虫的功效,分别用新疆阿魏蒸馏萃取物以0.1、0.2、0.3、0.4 g/kg浓度药液灌服治疗感染血吸虫病家兔,每隔3 d灌服1次,4次后停止给药,4周后剖检,门静脉灌注法收集虫体、计算减虫率,并以组织切片检查该药对血吸虫感染兔肝脏的治疗作用。结果显示,减虫率分别为12.30%、17.20%、46.40%、40.80%;经组织切片观察,家兔肝脏肉芽肿明显减小。表明新疆阿魏具有很强的杀灭血吸虫活性的作用,最佳杀虫剂量为0.3 g/kg。

Episodic blindness and ataxia in a horse with cholesterinic granulomas

An 11‐year‐old Oldenburg mare presented following three episodes of acute, transient blindness, ataxia, and disorientation within the preceding 7 months. Clinical improvement, including return of vision, occurred within 1 week of initiating corticosteroid therapy for each of the three episodes. However, mild right‐sided miosis was a consistent finding on ophthalmic examinations. Routine clinicopathologic testing revealed no significant abnormalities, and testing of cerebral spinal fluid for selected infectious diseases was unrewarding. Computed tomography of the brain demonstrated a hyperattenuating mass with peripheral mineralization in the rostroventral aspect of each lateral ventricle. The mare was euthanized due to a guarded to poor prognosis. On histopathology, the masses consisted of clusters of cholesterol clefts admixed with leukocytes, mineral deposits, and connective tissue. Cholesterinic granulomas of the lateral ventricles and hydrocephaly were diagnosed. Cholesterinic granulomas should be considered a differential diagnosis in horses presenting for intermittent blindness.
