Diagnosis of Trypanosoma evansi infection in a horse stable of Eastern Region of India on the basis of examination of Giemsa stained blood smears have been
done. A high percentage (12.74%) of horses of this stable was found suffering from T. evansi infection. This high prevalence of T. evansi in horses, in this area could be considered as an alarming situation which has never been explored previously in horses of
Eastern Region of India. After a period of 2 months and 18 days of treatment with quinapyramine sulphate and quinapyramine
chloride, reinfection with T. evansi in treated horses of this stable were noticed. Clinical signs of affected horses and possible causes of reinfection have
been discussed. 相似文献

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is the main etiological agent of Lyme disease (LD) in the USA. In Brazil, it is believed that a similar spirochete is the causal agent of the Baggio–Yoshinari syndrome (BYS), a zoonosis also transmitted by ticks, whose clinical manifestations are similar to those of LD. Despite the epidemiological importance, there are no studies reporting the presence and the prevalence of B. burgdorferi among horses in Mato Grosso State. The aim of this study was to detect and measure the frequency of IgG antibodies anti-B. burgdorferi American strain G39/40 in horses in the municipality of Sinop, MT—Brazil, using the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological diagnosis. Blood samples from 367 horses were collected in 81 farms. An epidemiological questionnaire was applied during the visits to obtain information related to the animals and the farms. From the 367 horses, 214 were positive for B. burgdorferi sensu stricto according to the results of the ELISA test, representing an apparent prevalence of 54.04% [CI?=?0.4548051–0.6237234]. Concomitantly, 89 blood samples were taken for molecular analysis by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). According to the PCR test results, none of the samples were reactive, although 53 of these samples were reactive according to ELISA. Seventy five farms (92.59%) had at least one reactive horse for B. burgdorferi. Our results support the hypothesis of the presence of anti-Borrelia spp. antibodies in horses in Mato Grosso, reaching a high animal prevalence. Besides that, leisure/sport purposes proved to be a risk factor, with an odds ratio of 3.16. These findings clearly indicate the need of borreliosis control in Sinop and make a significant contribution to the knowledge of the disease in Mato Grosso. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to determine the existence of pvl gene, some toxin genes, and mecA gene in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from sheep milk and to examine antimicrobial resistance profiles in staphylococci from sheep and goats'
milk. The milk samples were collected from 13 different small ruminant farms in Kirikkale province from February to August
2009. A total of 1,604 half-udder milk samples from 857 ewes and 66 half-udder milk samples from 33 goats were collected.
Staphylococcus spp. were isolated and identified from the samples. Toxin genes and mecA gene among S. aureus strains were determined by PCR. Antimicrobial susceptibility of staphylococci was examined by the disk diffusion method on
Mueller-Hinton agar, and interpreted according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. The prevalence
of subclinical intramammary infection in both ewes and goats was 5.2%. The most prevalent subclinical mastitis agents were
coagulase-negative staphylococci and S. aureus with prevalences 2.8% (n:46) and 1.3% (n = 21), respectively. The prevalence of resistances in isolated Staphylococcus spp. to penicilin G, tetracycline, erythromycin, gentamicin, and enrofloxacin were found as 26.9% (18), 7.5% (5), 6.0% (4),
3.0% (2), and 1.5% (1), respectively. Only 3 of the 21 S. aureus ewe isolates (13.4%) were shown to harbor enterotoxin genes being either seh, sej or sec. However, fourteen (66.6%) of the 21 S. aureus isolates had pvl gene while none of the isolates harbored mecA gene. In conclusion, Staphylococci were shown to be the most prevalent bacteria isolated from subclinical mastitis of ewes and goats and these isolates were
susceptible to most of the antibiotics. In addition, S. aureus strains isolated from ewes were harboring few staphylococcal enterotoxin genes. However, Panton–Valentine leukocidin produced
by S. aureus could be an important virulence factor and contribute to subclinical mastitis pathogenicity. 相似文献

Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for the evaluation of neoplastic lesions in the dog and there is a growing interest in the use of this technique for the stadiation of canine mammary tumours. An accurate assessment of small sized nodules facilitates the stadiation of the mammary lesions and helps the clinician in the choice of the most indicated surgical therapy. The aim of this study was to identify those ultrasound criteria that may be useful in discriminating between benign and malignant lesions of small size (diameter smaller than 2 cm). Sixty-two nodules, < 2 cm in larger diameter, belonging to thirty-five bitches presented between January 2012 and February 2014 were evaluated. Tumours were observed by conventional ultrasound and assessed for: shape (regular-irregular), limit (defined-ill-defined), margins (regular-irregular), echogenicity (hypoechoic-isoechoic-hyperecoic), echotexture (homogeneus-heterogeneus), presence of hyperecoic halo, distal acoustic enhancement or shadowing and surrounding tissue alterations. Among the alterations in surrounding tissues, the disruption of the glandular tissue and the increase in echogenicity of the peritumoral tissues were assessed. Thereafter, bitches were subjected to mastectomy and nodules were evaluated histologically. None of the ultasound criteria considered in the current study showed a statistically significant relation with malignancy, except for the presence of alterations in the tissue surrounding the nodules. According to our results, this characteristic may indicate malignancy, however its subjectivity may affect the applicability in clinical practice. In conclusions, conventional ultrasound in bitches had a limited ability in discriminating benign and malignant mammary gland neoplastic lesions of small size (diameter?<?2 cm). 相似文献

‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’ is a spiral-shaped bacterium that colonizes the stomach of more than 60% of slaughter pigs. The role of
‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’ in gastric disease of pigs is still unclear. Experimental studies in pigs are lacking because this bacterium
is unculturable until now. An inoculation protocol using ‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’ infected mouse stomach homogenate was used to reproduce the infection in pigs. Control animals were inoculated
using negative mouse stomach homogenate. Pigs were inoculated three times with one-week intervals and euthanized 6 weeks post
inoculation. Tissue samples were taken from different mucosal stomach regions to detect ‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’ by PCR and urease test. Mucosal inflammation was evaluated on formalin-fixed tissue samples. Lesions in
the pars oesophagea were scored macroscopically. Infection was succesful in all challenged animals, with the antrum and the
fundus being predominantly positive. Infection was associated with infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the antral
mucosa, evolving to follicular gastritis. No apparent inflammation of the fundic stomach region was detected in the infected
animals. A clear link between ‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’ and pars oesophageal lesions could not be found. 相似文献

In order to explore the effect of compound Chinese herbal medicines polysaccharides(cCHMPS) on immunomodulatory in different MHC B-Lβ Ⅱ genotype chickens,200 White feather broiler were chosen and PCR-SSCP technique was applied to analyze the polymorphism of MHC B-Lβ Ⅱ gene. The peripheral blood were collected according to the different MHC B-Lβ Ⅱ genotype,and the lymphocytes were isolated from peripheral blood and the cCHMPS were added with a final concentration of 100,75,50 and 0 μg/mL for co-culturing 24 h.Then the expression of NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-6 mRNA in lymphocyte using Real-time PCR method were detected. The results showed that:Compared with the control group,different does of cCHMPS could significantly improve NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-6 mRNA expression levels in chicken with different MHC B-Lβ Ⅱ genotypes (P<0.05), and when the cCHMPS concentration was 50 μg/mL,the NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-6 mRNA expression levels in lymphocyte of AB and AA genotype chicken were significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05).The NF-κB,IL-6 mRNA expression levels of AC genotype chicken were significantly higher than the other groups (P<0.05). The TNF-α mRNA expression levels of AC genotype chicken were significantly higher than the other groups when cCHMPS was 100 μg/mL (P<0.05).There results indicated that the cCHMPS could stimulate NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-6 mRNA expression in different MHC B-Lβ Ⅱ genotype chickens,and the optimum immunomodulatory does were different in each MHC B-Lβ Ⅱ genotype chicken. 相似文献

A single-tube RT-PCR technique generated a 387 bp or 300 bp cDNA amplicon covering the F0 cleavage site or the carboxyl (C)-terminus of the HN gene, respectively, of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain I-2. Sequence analysis was used to deduce the amino acid sequences of the cleavage site of F protein and the
C-terminus of HN protein, which were then compared with sequences for other NDV strains. The cleavage site of NDV strain I-2
had a sequence motif of 112
RKQGRLIG119, consistent with an avirulent phenotype. Nucleotide sequencing and deduction of amino acids at the C-terminus of HN revealed
that strain I-2 had a 7-amino-acid extension (VEILKDGVREARSSR. This differs from the virulent viruses that caused outbreaks of Newcastle disease in Australia in the 1930s and 1990s, which
have HN extensions of 0 and 9 amino acids, respectively. Amino acid sequence analyses of the F and HN genes of strain I-2
confirmed its avirulent nature and its Australian origin. 相似文献

A liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to confirm the presence of androstenedione-19-oic acid in intact male equine plasma and to show the source of 19-norandrostenedione in equine plasma. Androstenedione-19-oic acid was recovered from acidified plasma by liquid–liquid extraction using methyl tert-butyl ether and separated on an Ace 5 C8 column. A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was used to detect the analytes in negative electrospray ionization mode. Limits of detection, quantification, and confirmation of the method were 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 ng/mL, respectively. The linear dynamic range of quantification was 0.5–50 ng/mL. The presence of androstenedione-19-oic acid was confirmed in all plasma samples obtained from intact male horses but not those from gelded and female horses; the average concentration was 3.1 ± 1.6 ng/mL, suggesting androstenedione-19-oic acid is an endogenous compound only in intact male horse plasma samples. The conversion of androstenedione-19-oic acid to 19-norandrostenedione in equine plasma was demonstrated by spiking androstenedione-19-oic acid into blank plasma and monitoring the generation of 19-norandrostenedione and its increase in concentration during storage. Results indicated that androstenedione-19-oic acid was readily converted into 19-norandrostenedione; the higher the storage temperature, the faster the conversion. The conversion was not affected by the types of plasma samples collected from gelded and female horses or by anticoagulants used in blood collection to harvest plasma. Compared with other matrices such as water, methanol, and phosphate-buffered saline, the conversion of androstenedione-19-oic to 19-norandrostenedione in equine plasma was faster, suggesting that there is an unknown factor(s) in equine plasma that enhances the conversion. 相似文献
