Alkaline phosphatase activity (EC. 3.1.3.1.) in goblet cells was investigated in the small intestine of 16 gnotobiotic piglets infected one day after delivery (DAD) by different rates of oocysts of Isospora suis coccidia. At a high infection rate of I. suis (750,000) the goblet cells were found to be highly positive to alkaline phosphatase on day 3 to day 4 after infection (DAI). In piglets infected by a low infection rate of I. suis oocysts (100,000) the activity of alkaline phosphatase activity in goblet cells was proved on days 4 to 10 after infection. In the first group of piglets, the positive goblet cells prevailed in the middle region of jejunum, with the peak on 4th DAI. It the second group of piglets a marked increase in the alkaline phosphatase activity was recorded in the goblet cells in the posterior part of jejunum on days 4 to 5 after infection and on 10th DAI. No alkaline phosphatase activity in the goblet cells was demonstrated in the control gnotobiotic piglets at the age of two to seven days. 相似文献

The lysosomal activity of enterocytes of the small intestine mucosa was investigated in gnotobiotic and conventional piglets experimentally infected on the first day after birth (DAB) by the oocysts of the coccidia Isospora suis. A method of the proof of beta-D-glucuronidase (EC.3.2.1.31.) activity was used to demonstrate lysosomes. The piglets were infected by different infection doses of oocysts (100,000 oocysts in gnotobiotic piglets and 200,000 oocysts in conventional piglets). In the gnotobiotic infected piglets the activity of beta-D-glucuronidase in enterocyte lysosomes was investigated in the period from day 3 to day 11 after infection (DAI) and in the infected conventional piglets in the period from day 2 to day 10 after infection. Comparing the control piglets, the group of gnotobiotic piglets at the age of 2-5 days and the group of conventional piglets at the age of 4-7 days, the higher activity of beta-D-glucuronidase was demonstrated in the lysosomes of intestinal mucosa enterocytes in the gnotobiotic control piglets (+5.30 of the average density value, Dx). In the infected gnotobiotic and conventional piglets the pattern of beta-D-glucuronidase activity was found to have three stages in the course of this infection. Two stages can be characterized by a great increase in the enzyme activity (DAI 3-9 in gnotobiotic piglets, DAI 2-3 and 7-9 in conventional piglets. The third stage, which is manifest mainly in the conventional infected piglets, is characterized by a marked decrease in the activity of beta-D-glucuronidase, reaching the level of control findings (DAI 10 and mainly 11 in gnotobiotic piglets. DAI 4-6 and 10 in conventional piglets). A topographical picture shows that the two stages of increase and the stage of beta-D-glucuronidase activity decrease occur in the whole small intestine without any predisposition defect of the enzyme in the different sections of the small intestine. 相似文献

The density of selected enzymes in the goblet cells of the mucous membrane of the small intestine was studied in a group of 12 gnotobiotic piglets experimentally infected with the coccidium Isospora suis one day after parturition (DPP), using the Vickers M-786 scanning and integrating microdensity meter. At an infecting dose of 100,000 oocysts of I. suis, the histochemistry of the goblet cells of the mucous membrane of the piglets changed significantly in the period of 4 to 10 days after infection (DPI). Increases occur in the density of non-specific esterase (EC. 3.1.1.1.) and acid phosphatase (EC. 3.13.2.). The density of acid and neutral muco-substances declines and the densities of alkaline phosphatase (EC. 3.1.3.1.) and aminopeptidase M (EC. 3.4.11.2) are significantly high. The goblet cells of the mid and posterior parts of jejunum are very similar in their histochemistry in the experimentally infected gnotobiotic piglets. In the duodenum and ileum the histochemical picture of the goblet cells shows no substantial difference from the data recorded in the goblet cells of the mucous membrane of the small intestine of the four control piglets at an age of two to seven days. 相似文献

The activity of acid phosphatase (phosphohydrolase of orthophosphate monoesters; EC. 3.1.3.2) was evaluated densitometrically in the mucosa of duodenum, jejunum and ileum of 22 conventional piglets which were experimentally infected by oocysts of the coccidiae Isospora suis (infection dose of 200,000 oocysts) on day one after parturition (DAP). The activity of the studied hydrolase was investigated in the infected piglets during days two to ten after infection (DAI) in the intestinal mucosa (enterocytes) and in goblet cells. The density of the reaction product of acid phosphatase was simultaneously determined in the same mucosal cells of different sections of the small intestine in five control conventional piglets at the age of 2-14 days. In the small intestine mucosa of control piglets the activity of acid phosphatase was demonstrated to be located especially in the supranuclear zone of enterocytes. As for goblet cells, the reaction product of acid phosphatase is distributed in all zones (supra-, para-, infranuclear zones); the lowest density of this enzyme was found in the infranuclear zone. The activity of acid phosphatase is also localized in intestinal crypts: in their cells the enzyme concentration is decreasing from duodenum to caudal sections. Important changes were revealed, in comparison with the control data, in the development of the activity of acid phosphatase in the intestinal mucosa cells in the experimentally infected piglets. In the period of investigation (DAI 2-10) there were two stages of the development of the density of the enzyme reaction product. The first stage can be characterized by an increase, the other by a decrease in the level of acid phosphatase activity. Enterocytes are influenced in both stages, but the decrease in the density of the reaction product of acid phosphatase was observed only in absorption cells, and not in goblet cells. The increase in the activity of acid phosphatase occurs in the periods of DAI 4 and 9-10. Enzymatic deviations occur mainly in the absorption cells of the mucosa of duodenum and middle jejunum; in the cells of posterior jejunum and ileum an increase in the density of the reaction product of acid phosphatase was also demonstrated, but at the lower quantitative level (especially on DAI 4). The decrease in the activity of acid phosphatase has a protracted development and it takes place on DAI 5 to 8.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The state of mucus synthesis in the goblet cells of the small intestine was studied in conventional piglets infected with a dose of 200,000 oocytes of the coccidium Isospora suis the first and fifth day after parturition. The synthesis of mucus and its chemical characteristics undergo significant changes during the third and fourth day after infection. The activity of acid and neutral mucous substances declines; their level and the physiological synthetic function of goblet cells begin to return to the normal during the period starting on the eight to tenth day after infection. However, there were no fully functioning goblet cells in the broken numerical ratio even at the end of the period of investigation, i.e. the 13th day after infection. The thin surface layer of mucus remained almost unchanged within the whole extent of the small intestine parts studied. 相似文献

In the small intestine of 16 gnotobiotic piglets infected a day post partum (DPP) by Isospora suis coccidia the activities were studied of selected dehydrogenases and monoaminoxidase (O2 oxidoreductase, MAOx, EC 1.4.3.4.). The following dehydrogenases were investigated: succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.99.1.), glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (glycerol-3-phosphate:menadion oxidoreductase, GPOX, EC 1.1.99.5.) and tetrazolium oxidoreductase (NADH, ES 1.6.99.3.). The activities of NADH and GPOX were found to decrease, a decrease being somewhat milder in MAOx, at a high infection dose of I. suis oocysts (750,000 oocysts), in comparison with the control, already on the first day after infection (DAI). The SDH levels did not change. In piglets infected by a low infection dose of I. suis oocysts a double marked decrease (negative to slightly positive finding) was recorded in the period from the third to the eighth day after infection (DAI). A similar pattern with a longer time interval between the decreases was observed in GPOX (4th to 11th day after infection). The findings of SDH and MAOx activities were different. The SDH activity is maintained at the same level (++) for the whole period of investigation and there occurs a decrease (+) only on the 9th day after infection, persisting until 11 DAI. The MAOx activity and its change correspond to the SDH activity; the difference being that in the second group the starting level is high ( ) and on the eleventh day after infection it is low or medium (0-++), in comparison with the standard. This variability is discernible from 8th DAI. 相似文献

In gnotobiotical and conventional piglets infected a day post partum (DPP) with oocysts of the coccidium Isospora suis, densitometrical analysis of the activity of aminopeptidase M (EC.3.4.11.2; APM) was performed in the area of microvillous zone of the small intestine. Piglets were infected with different infection doses of oocysts (100,000 oocysts) in gnotobiotical piglets and 200,000 oocysts in conventional piglets). In infected gnotobiotical piglets, the APM activity was studied in the period from the 3rd to 11th day after infection (DAI) and in infected conventional piglets in the period of to the 2nd to 10th day after infection (DAI). Control piglets, in the group of the gnotobiotical animals at the age of 2 to 5 days in the group of the conventional animals at the age of 4 to 7 days, had different APM activity in the microvillous zone of the intestinal mucosa. It was stated that the microvillous zone of the intestinal mucosa gained higher values in control conventional piglets (+7.01 mean values of density). In infected gnotobiotical piglets the density fall of the reaction product of APM was demonstrated already on the third day with further marked reduction of APM density on the 4th day after infection in the whole small intestine with predominance of the persisting APM activity in ileum. Even despite the slight increase in the density of the reaction product of APM in the period from the 5th to 7th DAI (the highest increase in APM density on the 6th DAI), a further decrease of the activity was recorded again on the 8th and namely the 9th DAI in the whole small intestine (the lowest value of density was found in the rear jejunum), the ileum mucosa being affected, too. A slightly higher density of the reaction product of APM was found in the duodenum. On the 10th DAI the APM density started to change and on the 11th DAI in the duodenum and in the middle jejunum it even reached higher values in comparison with the control data. Some differences were proved in the infected conventional piglets in comparison with the development of the APM activity in the small intestine mucosa in the infected gnotobiotical piglets. On the 3rd and 4th DAI APM defect occurred in the whole small intestine, with APM density prevailing in the ileum mucosa (like in the group of infected gnotobiotical piglets). The second period of decrease in APM activity lasted for almost four days (6th to 9th DAI).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The activity of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1.) was studied in the small intestines of piglets infected with the coccidia Isospora suis on the first and fifth day of age. Alkaline phosphatase activity is reduced significantly the third to fourth day after infection (DAI) throughout the small intestine in piglets infected on the fifth day of age. Similar results were obtained in the piglets killed the eighth to tenth DAI which had also been infected on the fifth day of their age. Piglets infected the first day of age and killed on the 8th to 13th DAI exhibited no larger differences from the above-mentioned groups, but alkaline phosphatase activity was distributed more regularly all over the surface of the villi. The normal values, comparable with the controls, were not obtained within 13 days after infection (piglet age 14 days). 相似文献

In the small intestine mucosa of 24 gnotobiotical piglets experimentally infected the first day post partum with oocysts of the coccidium Isospora suis, the activities of dipeptidylpeptidase IV (EC.3.4.14.5.; DAP IV) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (EC.2.3.2.2.; GGT) in the microvillous zone of enterocytes were evaluated by scanning densitometry. The tissue of the small intestine in piglets infected with a dose of 100,000 oocysts of the coccidia of I. suis was examined in the period from the first till the eleventh day post infection (DPI). In the control piglets at the age of 2-5 days it was found that most of the DAP IV activity was located in the microvillous zone of the enterocytes of the middle jejunum, rear jejunum and ileum. The DAP IV activity of duodenum mucosa was lower; as compared with the activity in the mucosa of the jejunum and ileum it reached 53-57%. In the case of GGT activity, the highest density values of the reaction product were recorded in the microvillous zone of enterocytes of the duodenum and the whole jejunum, the lowest in the ileum mucosa (86-89%) of the activity found in the duodenum and jejunum). During the experimental infection the infected piglets had a significant deficit of both peptidases, especially DAP IV (the whole studied period). The development of GGT activity was slightly different with the onset of the marked decline of the enzyme activity only on the fifth DPI. The lower GGT activity persisted till the eighth DPI. The density of the GGT reaction product began to return to the normal on the ninth to eleventh DPI. No predisposition in the location of the deficit was observed in the peptidases studied during the infection. The decline of the activity of both enzymes influenced also the mucosa of all studied parts of the small intenstine. The difference lay in the relevance of lowering of the density of reaction product of DAP IV and GGT on other DPI and in the different intensities of the return of the activity to the physiological normal. 相似文献

The activities of 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC. 1.1.1.30.; HBD) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC. 1.1.1.41; ICD) were evaluated microdensitometrically in the mucosa of duodenum, jejunum and ileum of 19 conventional piglets infected on the first day after parturition (DAP) with oocysts of Eimeria debliecki coccidium (infection dose of 200,000 oocysts). The two investigated enzymes are deposited in mitochondria which are dispersed in the supra-, para- and infranuclear region of absorption cells (Fig. 1). The synthesis of the two dehydrogenases was investigated in the small intestine mucosa in the period of 1st to 10th day after infection (DAI). The HBD and ICD activities were also followed in the small intestine of four control conventional piglets at the age of 2-5 days (Tab. I). The two dehydrogenases could be characterized by a topographic gradient; it means that their activity was increasing in the small intestine mucosa through duodenum in an aboral direction. The ICD activity is higher in the intestinal mucosa of healthy piglets (Figs. 2 and 3), where its topic concentration was more marked while the HBD activity is dispersed in enterocytes (Fig. 4). In infected piglets the density of the two enzymes was demonstrated to decrease already in the starting period of experimental infection, and it reaches the lowest values for the first time on DAI 5-6 (Fig. 5, Tab. II), then on DAIs 9 (HBD; Fig. 6, graph 11)) or 8 (ICD, Fig. 7 and 10). In the period of experimental infection no statistically significant predisposition to the hypoactivity of target dehydrogenases nor its marked shift were observed. Somewhat rapid resumption of synthesis was demonstrated as soon as on DAI 8 in ICD (Fig. 8); its activity on DAI 10 in the intestinal mucosa corresponded to the 93% activity of this dehydrogenase recorded in the small intestine of control piglets. The density of HBD to the same day (DAI 10) reached in the intestinal mucosa of infected piglets the values making only 44.7% of those demonstrated in the intestinal mucosa of the control group of animals. 相似文献

Glucoso-6-phosphatase activity (EC. 3.1.3.9.) was evaluated microdensitometrically in the small intestine mucosa of 19 conventional piglets infected with Eimeria debliecki coccidium oocysts (infection dose of 200,000 oocysts) on day 1 after delivery (DAD). The synthesis of the observed hydrolase was followed within days 1 to 10 after infection (DAI). The activity of the same enzyme was also determined in four control conventional piglets at the age of two to five days. The small intestine mucosa of healthy piglets was found to have relatively balanced glucoso-6-phosphatase concentrations in all observed sections (duodenum, middle and posterior jejunum and ileum). The topographic gradient failed to be demonstrated in control piglets. In piglets experimentally infected with E. debliecki coccidium the glucoso-6-phosphatase activity was decreasing during infection already since DAI 1. The enzyme hypoactivity was still lower in the following days and reached the minimum value at the end of the target period (DAI 10), when its value made only 33% of the concentration recorded in the intestine mucosa of control piglets. The topographic predisposition to the lower activity of glucoso-6-phosphatase was not found to be high. The only exception are DAI 6 and 7, when the lowest enzyme concentration was observed in the duodenum mucosa (52% on DAI 6; 54% on DAI 7). The activity of the observed enzyme was higher in the other sections of small intestine (57% on DAI 6; 62% on DAI 7). 相似文献

Gnotobiotical one-day-old piglets were infected with 100,000 Isospora suis coccidia oocysts, and were immediately killed. In piglets killed on the 3rd to 11th day after infection (DAI), the morphometric analysis of alkaline phosphatase activity was performed in the area of the microvillus zone of small intestine. In the control 2-7 days old animals, the small intestine was not equally supplied with alkaline phosphatase. In duodenum the activity reached 88.37 per cent of the active length of absorbent surface (% LAac), in the middle jejunum 95.98 per cent LAac, in the dorsal jejunum 78.63% LAac and the ileum 90.55 % LAac. The width of the active area was more balanced and ranged from 5.003 microM in the ileum to 6.129 microM in the dorsal jejunum. In infected gnotobiotical piglets the lowest activity was found out on the 3rd to 4th DAI, with a greater decline on the 9th day after infection. The range from 25.99 to 40.50 per cent LAac with minimum in the duodenum and maximum in the ileum was observed on the 3rd DAI. In the middle and dorsal ileum the activity was nearly equal (28.34 and 27.69 per cent LAac). nI the dorsal jejunum a moderate increasing was up to 47.13% LAac on the 4th DAI, with the exception of the ileum, where the activity of alkaline phosphatase decreased to 24.96% LAac. On the 9th DAI the activity of alkaline phosphatase was nearly equal in the whole small intestine (from 55.70 to 60.01% LAac) with the maximum in the middle jejunum. In the width of the reaction product a direct dependence on the total activity of alkaline phosphatase was evident only in the segment of the middle and dorsal jejunum and ileum, but merely on the period of the 3rd to 4th DAI. The lowest values were measured in the middle jejunum (0.982 micron on the 3rd DAI and 0.709 micron on the 4th DAI). No dependence was observed between the total activity and the reaction product in the middle jejunum (0.982 micron on the 3rd DAI and 0.709 micron on the 4th DAI), there was no general stabilisation of the activity of alkaline phosphatase. 相似文献

The activity of nonspecific esterase (EC. 3.1.1.1.) was evaluated in the small intestine mucosa of 21 conventional piglets infected on day 5 after parturition (DAP) with oocysts of the Eimeria debliecki coccidium (infection dose of 200,000 oocysts) for this evaluation a microdensitometric analysis at the level of enterocytes was used. The same examination was also performed in the small intestine mucosa of four control conventional piglets at the age of 2-5 days (Tab. I). The synthesis of nonspecific esterase in the experimentally infected piglets was followed on day 1 to day 10 after infection (DAI). The activity of nonspecific esterase in the small intestine mucosa was found to decrease in a direction from duodenum absorption cells (D mean 34.15) to caudal ones (Fig. 1); ileum enterocytes have the optical density of the enzyme by 8.2% lower (D mean 31.38). The deposition of nonspecific esterase is localized mainly in the supranuclear zone of enterocytes while in the para- and infranuclear zones of absorption cells its concentration is only minute. In the experimentally infected piglets a marked increase in the optical density of nonspecific esterase of enterocytes was observed as soon as on day 1 after infection when the enzyme concentration increased by 19.4% (Tab. II). The maximum increase in the activity of nonspecific esterase of absorption cells was recorded on DAI 9 when the enzyme D mean value was higher by 165% in comparison with the activity of nonspecific esterase demonstrated in the control piglets (Fig. 2, 3, 4). But at the end of experimental infection (DAI 10) the total density of nonspecific esterase of enterocytes decreased by 38.2%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The first day after birth, 22 conventional piglets were experimentally infected with the oocysts of the coccidia of I. suis (infection dose 200,000 oocysts). The activity of 5-nucleotidase (5-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC.3.1.3.5) and phosphoglucomutase (alpha-D-glucoso-1-phosphate phosphotransferase, EC.5.4.2.2) was densitometrically assessed in the mucosa of the small intestines of these piglets. Enzyme activities were studied in the infected piglets during the 2nd to 10th day after infection. The same histochemical examination was simultaneously performed in the intestinal mucosa of five control conventional piglets at an age of 2-14 days. 5-nucleotidase and phosphoglucomutase were found to have a high density in the mucosa of the small intestine of the control piglets: the high-density locations of these enzymes include, first of all, the supranuclear area of the absorption cells, the microvillous zone of enterocytes and the smooth muscle elements of lamina muscularis mucosae. The experimentally infected piglets showed a marked decline of the density of both enzymes during the infection. The deficit affected, for a transient period, the microvillous zone and the supranuclear region of enterocytes; the musculature of the mucous layer was affected permanently. The inactivity was more protracted in the case phosphoglutamase (especially 5 to 9 days after infection). The density of 5-nucleotidase showed a partial return to the normal already the 7th day after infection, with an interruption of resumption of activity on the 10th day. Resumption of enzyme activity in the lamina muscularis mucosae was not recorded during the infection. In the three locations under study, the density of none of the enzymes did reach parameters comparable with the controls at the end of the trial (10 days after infection). 相似文献

Faecal samples from 232 domestic pigs raised on concrete, 98 free-ranging village pigs, and five wild boar showed 46.6 (108/232), 54 (53/98) and 80% (4/5) prevalence of coccidian oocysts, respectively. Eight species of Eimeria, and Isospora suis, were recovered. In their descending order of predominance in the pigs raised on concrete, the species of coccidia were E. debliecki (26.7%), E. scabra (22.4%), E. neodebliecki (19.8%), E. porci (15.5%), E. suis (11.6%), E. polita (8.6%), E. perminuta (7%), E. spinosa (5.6%) and I. suis (3.9%). The first five species listed above predominated in the village pigs as well. E. polita, E. spinosa and I. suis were not found in the wild boar. I. suis oocysts prevailed in 8.3% of the 36 sows on concrete, and in 11.1% (3/27) of those which were positive for coccidia. Isosporoid oocysts were absent in the village sows. Of the 125 less than 24-day-old piglets, 29.6% were diarrhoeic, and of these, 43.2% were positive for coccidia. Four of the 16 (25%) coccidia-positive, diarrhoeic piglets, and four of the 37 (10.8%) coccidia-positive non-diarrhoeic piglets shed I. suis oocysts, an observation which seems to weaken the present contention that I. suis is the primary causative agent of neonatal porcine coccidiosis. The highest mean number of oocysts per gram faeces (23,550) was recorded from the diarrhoeic farm piglets on concrete, and the lowest of 6,100 from the gestating farm sows. Mean opg data revealed very little significant quantitative variation between the corresponding age groups of the free-ranging village pigs and the commercially-farmed ones. One of the most interesting findings in the study was that the sows were more frequently infected than all other age groups. 相似文献

In a large herd of pigs whose piglets suffered from diarrheas coprological examination revealed the great incidence of Isospora suis coccidia in piglets. The first oocysts were found out in seven-day piglets; the highest incidence was observed in twelve-day piglets (65.9%); the time of oocyst elimination (patency) was five to six days. The oocysts appeared in the excrements of piglets two to three days after the diarrhea onset. Individual examinations of piglets demonstrated the correlation between the intensity of clinical signs and the numbers of eliminated oocysts. No oocysts of I. suis were found either in sow excrements or gilt excrements. The I. suis oocysts were diagnosed in the excrements of piglets from first-farrowing sows and in the excrements of piglets from the sows, in the litters of which I. suis had already been demonstrated. Evaluating the therapeutic and preventive effects of the anticoccidic drug amprolium no significant difference was recorded in the I. suis incidence between the medicated group and the control group. 相似文献

Pathogenesis of experimental combined infections with Isospora suis and rotavirus in conventional and gnotobiotic piglets 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

51 gnotobiotic and 63 conventional, one-, or two-days-old piglets were divided into five groups and infected orally either with Isospora suis or rotavirus alone, or with both agents simultaneously or successively with alternative sequences and various intervals. 15 gnotobiotic and 10 conventional piglets served as controls. The development of small intestinal lesions after infection with I. suis was biphasic. The dominant alteration resulting from rotavirus infection was villus atrophy, considerably more pronounced and extensive in gnotobiotic than in conventional piglets. Synergistic action of I. suis and rotavirus was manifested both clinically, and morphologically. This action culminated at the time of the actual, or presumed development of merogony of I. suis, i.e. on DPI 3 to 5. The action develops only if the intestinal epithelium is damaged functionally and morphologically by a preceding rotavirus infection. It is concluded that the synergistic action is based on a competition of rotavirus and I. suis for mature, enzymatically active absorptive cells. 相似文献

In the small intestine mucosa of 24 gnotobiotic farrows experimentally infected with the oocysts of coccidiosis of Isospora suis (infection administration--100,000 oocysts) on the first day after the delivery, we carried out the microdensitometric evaluation of the activity of beta-D-glucosidase (phlorizin-hydrolase; hetero-beta-galactosidase; lactase-beta-glucosidase complex; EC. 3.2.1.21). Great attention was paid to the topochemistry of enzyme, deposited in a microvillous zone of enterocytes. We studied likewise the activity of beta-D-glucosidase in the striped fringe of enterocytes of the four control gnotobiotic farrows, in the age from 2 to 5 days. We found out that in healthy farrows the reaction product of studied disaccharidase is located in high concentrations in the microvillous zone of absorptive cells of the whole small intestine. We proved a topographic gradient at which the beta-D-glucosidase activity decreases in control farrows the duodenum mucosa in the aboral direction. When using the choice substrate for beta-D-glucosidase (5-Br-4-Cl-beta-indolyl-3-D-glucoside) we did not prove the enzyme deposition in the small intestine wall. The negative enteral effect of coccidiosis I. suis was provable in the farrows experimentally infected already on the first day after the infection (DPI) when the beta-D-glucosidase activity decreased within the whole small intestine by 15% (ileum) and even by 23% (middle jejunum). The activity reduction had been deepening since the first after the infection and it reached its maximum on the 9th day after the infection when the enzyme concentration in the microvillous zone of absorptive cells reached only 11% of the activity level found in control farrows. On the 10th and 11th day after the infection we registered the increase of the density of beta-D-glucosidase reaction product, however the microvillous zone was even in that final stage of experimental infection significantly deficient (31% of intestine mucosa activity of control farrows). 相似文献

In different age groups endoparasites are of varying importance. Sows are predominantly infected with gastrointestinal strongyles (mainly Oesophagostomum spp.), Ascaris suum and Eimeriae, to a lesset extent with Trichuris suis, Hyostrongylus rubidus, Strongyloides ransomi or Isospora suis, while in suckling piglets I. suis and occasionally S. ransomi frequently occur. Weaners and fatteners are infected with coccidia and gastrointestinal strongyles, later with A. suum. Whipworms are also found occasionally. I suis causes diarrhoea in suckling piglets, while in older animals the infection is not correlated with disease. Damage induced by helminths is mainly due to reduced performance, in the case of ascarosis to reduced carcass value. Therefore planned antiparasitic measures should be taken at all stages of pig keeping. Hygienic measures can reduce infection pressure; however parasite elimination is difficult to obtain under conventional management conditions. Consequently the control of parasitic infection at the early stage of piglet production is desirable. 相似文献

An observational study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Isospora suis oocysts in fecal samples from suckling piglets in Ontario, and to evaluate the relationship between the presence of I. suis oocysts and diarrhea. Fifty farms and 709 litters of piglets were included in the study. Oocysts were detected on 70% of farms, with 187 litters infected. A litter of pigs that was positive for oocysts was significantly more likely to exhibit diarrhea than a litter that was negative [odds ratio (OR) = 4.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.8 to 5.8; P < 0.001]. Management and housing factors were examined with respect to risk factors for the presence of I. suis. Farms that did not use a detergent when cleaning farrowing crates were 10-times more likely to be positive for I. suis than those that used a detergent (P = 0.007). It was concluded that coccidiosis is a common problem on Ontario swine farms. 相似文献
