Information with regard to foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks that occurred in the Kruger National Park (KNP) and adjacent areas of South Africa between 1970 and 2009 was collected from reports and files of various government departments and collated into one report. The collected data were summarised in a table and assessed for patterns. Fifty-one FMD outbreaks occurred during this period in the target area, of which 16 were SAT 1, 31 were SAT 2,4 were SAT 3 and 3 were not serotyped. No pattern could be discerned although SAT 1 outbreaks occurred more frequently in the summer months while more SAT 2 outbreaks occurred in winter.  相似文献

Bone plate fixation was reviewed in 29 distal radial fractures of small- and miniature-breed dogs. Twenty-two fractures in 18 dogs were available for follow-up. Number of complications and return to function were evaluated. Complications occurred in 54% of the fractures. Catastrophic complications occurred in 18% of fracture repairs with follow-up, while minor complications occurred in 36%. Sixteen (89%) of 18 dogs had a successful return to function. Bone plate fixation is a successful repair method for distal radius and ulna fractures in small-breed dogs, compared to previously reported methods.  相似文献

A disease resembling swinee dysentery occurred in gnotobiotic piglets previously colonized with Escherichia coli and given a mixture of five enteric anaerobes and spirochete B-78, orally. No disease occurred in germ-free piglets exposed to four Gram-negative obligate anaerobes or to the spirochete; however, if the four respective anaerobes were introduced into gnotobiotic pigs previously colonized with the spirochete, or when the spirochete was introduced into gnotobiotic pigs colonized with the anaerobes, a disease occurred that simulated swin dysentery. Swine dysentery is probably caused by the specific interaction of one or more enteric Gram-negative obligate anaerobes and a spirochete.  相似文献

Infective Cooperia oncophora larvae were temperature and light conditioned by holding them at various temperatures and daily light intensities for up to 56 days prior to administration to parasite-free calves via stomach tube. The calves were killed either on day 20 or day 21 postinfection. A marked (up to 80.5%) inhibition of development occurred in larvae held at 4 degrees C while little or no inhibition occurred in larvae held at room temperature or in fresh larvae. Marked inhibition also occurred in larvae held at 15 degrees C for 56 days while a low rate of inhibition occurred in larvae held at 17 degrees C for 42 days. Low incidence of inhibition was recorded in two of four calves given larvae held at ambient temperatures of mid-summer while appreciable inhibition of development of larvae occurred in two calves permitted to graze during the second and third week of September in 1975. Temperature conditioning of C. oncophora eggs for 27 days did not result in inhibition of development of infective larvae subsequently cultured from the eggs. Photoperiod or the presence of light did not have any appreciable effect on the development of inhibition of C. oncophora under the conditions of these investigations.  相似文献

A technique was developed for subtotal prostatectomy in dogs with the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. In six normal dogs, full-thickness necrosis of the prostate occurred if the central-lateral region within 5 mm of the urethra was photoablated at 60 watts for 1 second. Moderate to superficial necrosis occurred when the prostate within 5 mm of the urethra was photoablated at 35 watts for 2 seconds or 60 watts for 0.5 second. At necropsy, leakage of the urethra occurred in two dogs at sites treated at 60 watts for 1 second. In a clinical study, complications associated with subtotal prostatectomy with the Nd:YAG laser (n = 6) were compared with complications associated with prostatic drainage (n = 6) in dogs with prostatic disease. Intraoperative death (2/6 dogs) and nocturnal incontinence (4/4 surviving dogs) occurred with subtotal prostatectomy. Uncontrolled prostatic infection (2/6 dogs) occurred with prostatic drainage and resulted in the death of one dog on day 11. Four of five dogs surviving prostatic drainage developed recurrent urinary tract infection.  相似文献

Focal myocardial necrosis with mineralization occurred in mink fed the synthetic corticosteroid, dexamethasone, as a treatment for aleutian disease. Cardiac lesions occurred with equal frequency in steroid-fed controls and appeared to be related only to feeding of dexamethasone. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are considered.  相似文献

Lidocaine was infused at a fixed zero-order rate to eight healthy mongrel dogs until tonic extension ( n = 5) and cortical seizures ( n = 7) were produced. Lidocaine concentrations determined at 5-min intervals were used to calculate concentrations at which these effects occurred. The tonic extension phase occurred at a mean lidocaine concentration of 8.21 ± 1.69 μg/ml. After a 1-month rest period, the same dogs were anaesthetized and ventricular tachycardia was produced by administering ouabain. Lidocaine was again infused at a fixed zero-order rate until all beats of ventricular origin were abolished. This occurred at a mean lidocaine concentration of 6.25 ± 1.49 μg/ml.  相似文献

An epidemiological study was conducted in 18 dairy herds with the objective to characterize those groups of cows where skin injuries to the body and thighs occurred most frequently. Data were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression. The epidemiologic patterns were different in first and later lactations. In first lactation some degree of injury occurred among 7.7% of 1793 cows. For most cows occurrence of sole ulcer was positively associated with injury while occurrence of heel horn erosion was negatively associated with injury. The association between injury and body weight differed depending on month of calving (significant interaction). Injuries occurred most frequently among high yielding cows. Severe reproductive, metabolic, and/or infectious diseases were associated with injuries. In later lactations some degree of injury occurred among 13.4% of 832 cows in lactations 2 to 9 where severity of injury increased with lactation number. Injuries occurred least frequently at examinations made in the January to March. They occurred most frequently among cows with sole ulcers. Calving in March through October was associated with injuries especially if the cows were treated for limb disorders. Most cases of injuries occurred early or late in lactation or among high or very low yielding cows in lactations 2 to 9.  相似文献

A live-attenuated highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (HP-PRRS) virus (HP-PRRSV) TJM vaccine strain was derived from the HP-PRRSV TJ strain by passage 92 times in the African green monkey kidney epithelial cell line Marc-145. We found that the virulence of the TJ strain to piglets was decreased greatly from passage 19. To identify mutations associated with attenuation of the TJM vaccine strain, we determined the nucleotide changes that arose during Marc-145 passage of the HP-PRRSV TJ virus. The TJM strain contains a 360 nucleotide (120 amino acids) deletion and a 118 nucleotide mutation that resulted in 48 amino acid changes. Analysis of the complete nucleotide sequences of intermediate passage-level viruses F19, F46 and F78 showed that 31 (64.6%) of the 48 amino acid mutations occurred in F19, 7 (14.6%) occurred in F46, 7 (14.6%) occurred in F78 and 3 (6.3%) occurred in F92. The 120 amino acid deletion occurred from F19 to TJM. Therefore, we hypothesized that the 31 amino acid mutations distributed in nsp1β, nsp2-nsp5, nsp7, nsp9, nsp10, GP4 and GP5 and the continuous 120 amino acid deletion in the nsp2 region from F19 provide a strong potential molecular basis for the observed attenuated phenotype.  相似文献

Segmentation of the main light period of an 8L:4D:2L:10D regimen into 30 min light, 30 min dark did not affect total feeding activity, rate of feeding or total intake of laying hens. When 15 min light and 45 min dark was provided each hour feeding activity and food intake were reduced, while rate of feeding and feeding during the dark periods increased. No feeding occurred in the 10 h 'night'. Hens subjected to interrupted lighting showed less feeding activity than those on a 14L:10D regimen. Insertion of a 4 h dark period in the 14 h subjective day of laying hens increased their rate of feeding, but reduced total intake. The pattern of feeding activity depended on the position of the 4 h dark period. The largest modification of feeding activity occurred on a 8L:4D:2L:10D regimen; 20% of activity occurred in the last 2 h of the apparent day. Feeding occurred during the 4 h dark period, but not during the 10 h 'night'.  相似文献

The appearance of haematopoietic cells and the development of haematopoiesis in certain embryonic organs of the cat were studied using light microscopic (cytological smears and paraffin embedded tissues) and transmission electron microscopic methods. Primitive erythropoiesis occurred predominantly in the yolk sac whereas definitive erythropoiesis occurred in the yolk sac, liver, bone marrow and, to a lesser extent, in the spleen. In the yolk sac, erythropoiesis was predominantly intravascular whereas in the liver and bone marrow it was usually extravascular. Granulopoiesis occurred mainly in the liver and bone marrow. In the liver it was predominantly extravascular and occurred around vessels, bile ducts and in perisinusoidal spaces. Megakaryocytopoiesis occurred in the yolk sac, liver, bone marrow and spleen. The megakaryocytic line of cells were similar to those occurring in adult cats except that in the yolk sac unusual small, mononuclear to binuclear thrombocytogenic megakaryocytes were present also. The relative contributions of the embryonic organs of the cat to haematopoiesis were similar to those described for man and certain other mammals but the results for the sites of development and the appearance of early forms in the erythrocytic, granulocytic and megakaryocytic lines varied at times from those reported for man and other mammals.  相似文献

Bacteriological examinations were made on quarter samples from cows in 35 herds over a 3 year period to monitor the response in a mastitis control program. Initially, Staphylococcus aureus predominated in 32 of the herds and the mean herd prevalence was 26%. The control measures halved this rate but there was considerable variation in response between herds. The decline occurred rapidly and there was a significant reduction (P less than 0.01) by 3 months. Streptococcus agalactiae predominated in 3 herds and the overall infection rate was 4.9%. Control measures eliminated the infection completely from most herds but reinfection occurred in 2 herds. The greatest decline occurred in the first 6 months and was significant (P less than 0.05). The measures had little effect upon Str. uberis and Str. dysgalactiae which remained fairly consistently at low levels. Initially, strains of Staph. aureus resistant to penicillin were dominant in most herds. In a minority of herds strains resistant to streptomycin predominated and in these herds there was a concurrent resistance to penicillin. These patterns did not change greatly over the control period. Resistance by Str. agalactiae to streptomycin occurred in most herds at the start of the program.  相似文献

Outbreaks of budgerigar fledgling disease (BFD) occurred in three budgerigar aviaries in Ontario. Acute death in seven to ten-day-old nestlings and feather abnormalities in birds over three weeks of age were common findings. Ascites, hepatomegaly and hydropericardium were prominent gross lesions. Histologically, basophilic intranuclear inclusions were seen in many tissues. A severe drop in hatchability occurred in one aviary—a finding not previously reported with BFD. Interruption of breeding controlled the disease in aviary 1, but failed in two consecutive attempts in aviary 2. A third outbreak occurred in aviary 2 after depopulation and restocking. In aviary 3, the spread of disease was very rapid; 90% of the nestlings died within a few weeks. A papovavirus similar to a previously described isolate was recovered in this outbreak.  相似文献

Severe acute hypercarbia occurred in a cat and 2 dogs as a result of anesthesia machine malfunction. In each case, the anesthesia machine had been checked by the anesthesia technician and clinician, and no problems were found. After it was noticed that the same machine had been used on each animal, further investigation revealed an expiration valve that was functional with large breaths or positive pressure ventilation but was not functional with small breaths with low peak inspiratory flow. Rebreathing of expired carbon dioxide occurred, and the patients subsequently became severely hypercarbic. Recovery from anesthesia was prolonged in 2 animals, and cardiac and respiratory arrest occurred in the third. Hypercarbia from rebreathing can be detected through the use of blood gas analysis or end-tidal carbon monoxide monitoring.  相似文献

We report three cases of adult cats showing a prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid. Three different breeds were affected: Burmese, Persian and Domestic Short-haired. In all cases, the disorder occurred spontaneously, without any other ocular sign. Surgical replacement of the gland was performed using the Morgan pocket technique. Good esthetic results were obtained, and no recurrence occurred.  相似文献

Analyses of patrol videos that record the circumstances of race accidents was made. Many of the serious accidents that occur in the course of races involve fracture or dislocation of the component bones of the fetlock joint. A large percentage of these occurred on the leading leg, regardless of whether the horses were running clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Many of these accidents occurred during changes in lead, with the accidents occurring at the moment when a limb made contact with the ground. Differences in the location of musculoskeletal injuries were observed in accidents that occurred in the straightaway portion of the track, while moving out of turns to the straightaway; and while in the turn.  相似文献

A 4-month-old Thoroughbred filly presented for abdominal pain was diagnosed with a T-shaped malformation of the ventral colon at exploratory laparotomy. Following resection and anastomosis of the large colon, no further episodes of abdominal pain occurred during a 12-month follow-up. Acute dehiscence of the linea alba occurred as a complication of the initial laparotomy, but was successfully managed following additional surgical repair. T-shaped malformation of the ventral colon has not previously been reported and is considered a congenital malformation of mesocolon formation.  相似文献

A survey of the incidence of lesions causing lameness in dairy cattle was conducted by veterinarians in 9 practices in Queensland between November 1984 and July 1985. One hundred and eighty five cases were treated in 83 dairy herds. The average incidence of lameness which required treatment by veterinarians was 2.7 cases per 100 cows per 9 months, with a range of 1.4 to 5.5% in the 9 practices. Foot lesions constituted 83.2% of all lesions; the most common being interdigital necrobacillosis (15%), deep sepsis (8.9%), white line disease (8.4 per cent), axial groove fissure (8.4%), bruised sole (5.6%) and foreign body in the sole/heel (5.6%). Sixty-five per cent of foot lesions occurred in the hind feet and 63% of these lesions occurred in the lateral claw, while 37% of foot lesions occurred in abnormally shaped claws. Limb lesions accounted for the remaining 16.8% of lesions, and 50% of these lesions occurred in the hip and stifle, while trauma was the main cause of limb lesions.  相似文献

An outbreak of congenital abnormalities occurred in sheep at San Angelo, Texas, between December 1986 and February 1987. Of 360 lambs born, 19.2% had arthrogryposis or other musculo-skeletal problems and hydranencephaly (AGH), and the total neonatal loss was 25.6%. In 1987, all ewes that were tested with AGH lambs had antibody to Cache Valley virus (CVV), whereas 62% of the ewes with normal lambs had CVV-specific antibody. Pre-colostral serum samples from AGH lambs had neutralizing antibody to CVV. An increase in prevalence of CVV-specific antibody, from 5% during the spring of 1986 to 63.4% during the winter of 1987, occurred during a time that included the gestation of these affected lambs, as well as a period of increased rainfall. The isolation of a CVV-related strain from a sentinel sheep in October 1987 confirmed the continued presence of this virus in the pasture where this outbreak occurred and provided a recent field strain for future studies.  相似文献
