Mechanisms of anemia in Aleutian disease viral infection of mink     

Travis C. McGuire  Lance E. Perryman  John R. Gorham 《Veterinary microbiology》1979,4(1):17-27

Mink with Aleutian disease developed severe anemia within a few months after infection. Evaluation of erythropoiesis and erythrocyte survival demonstrated that the anemia was caused by increased erythrocyte destruction, complicated in some cases by decreased or inadequate erythropoiesis. An inverse relationship existed between the amount of IgG on affected mink erythrocytes and the erythrocyte half-life. However, the number of IgG molecules/erythrocyte were not high enough to be detected by direct Coombs' test, with the exception of one case. Inadequate erythropoiesis was reflected by lower plasma iron turnover levels and reticulocyte numbers than expected considering the severity of the anemia involved.  相似文献   

A short review of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, and guidelines for managing risks associated with chronic wasting disease in captive cervids in zoos.     

Dominic Travis  Michele Miller 《Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine》2003,34(2):125-133

The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) represent an emerging group of diseases that have been labeled as "prion diseases" because of the recent characterization of the infectious agent. TSEs are caused by prions, which induce neurodegenerative fatal diseases in humans and animals. Some TSEs (scrapie and kuru), have existed in both animals and humans for a very long time, whereas others such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease have either recently emerged or are more thoroughly described and recognized. It is obvious that the medical community will be forced to consider these diseases in humans and animals for the future. This article offers a short review of the TSEs of immediate concern to zoo and wildlife veterinarians and wildlife biologists and suggests risk management strategies for the prevention of these diseases, with special focus on chronic wasting disease of cervids in North America.  相似文献   

Regional variations in the nematode worm populations of breeding ewes in New Zealand     

Herve M  McAnulty RW  Logan CM  Sykes AR 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2003,51(4):159-164

AIM: To determine whether the generic composition of nematode parasites in lactating ewes varies between geographic regions in New Zealand and whether age and fecundity of ewes affect nematode egg output. METHODS: Four ram breeding properties in each of the northern (NNI) and southern (SNI) North Island and the northern South Island (NSI) regions, together with six properties in the southern South Island (SSI) were investigated. Faecal samples were obtained on one occasion, 2-6 weeks after lambing, from at least 60 ewes on each property, stratified according to age and reproductive status. Nematode eggs were counted and coprocultures prepared to identify genera present. Information on the history of anthelmintic use on each property was also collected. RESULTS: Highest faecal egg counts (FEC) were observed from ewes in the NNI and SSI regions. Lambed hoggets and twin-rearing two-tooth ewes had higher FEC than their unlambed or single-lamb-rearing contemporaries, respectively. However, no significant effect of reproductive effort on FEC was demonstrated in mixed-aged ewes. Significant regional differences in generic composition of nematode parasites were observed: Teladorsagia spp (also referred to as Ostertagia spp) eggs made up 56% of total eggs shed from sheep in the SSI compared with14% in the NNI, and values for Haemonchus spp were 1%and 24% for these same regions, respectively. Trichostrongylus colubriformis and T. vitrinus together made up 7, 15, 13 and15% of eggs counted from sheep in the SSI, NSI, SNI and NNI, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: More comprehensive epidemiological information may suggest regional-specific approaches to the management of nematode parasites in ewes should be devised in the future.  相似文献

Dietary influences on periodontal health in dogs and cats.     

Ellen I Logan 《Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice》2006,36(6):1385-401, ix

A pet cannot be healthy without oral health. Periodontal is a significant disease that has local and systemic ramifications. It has been stated earlier that effective plaque control prevents gingivitis. In human beings, 90% of periodontitis occurs as the result of progression gingivitis, and this type of periodontitis can be completely prevented by plaque control. It is reasonable that dogs and cats react similarly and that effective plaque control could prevent a large percentage of periodontitis cases. Proper nutrition and effective oral hygiene are necessary components of oral health and should be jointly promoted in the management of oral disease in dogs and cats.  相似文献   

Implications of simian retroviruses for captive primate population management and the occupational safety of primate handlers.     

Hayley Weston Murphy  Michele Miller  Jan Ramer  Dominic Travis  Robyn Barbiers  Nathan D Wolfe  William M Switzer 《Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine》2006,37(3):219-233

Nonhuman primates can be naturally infected with a plethora of viruses with zoonotic potential, including retroviruses. These simian viruses present risks to both captive nonhuman primate populations and persons exposed to nonhuman primates. Simian retroviruses, including simian immunodeficiency virus, simian type D retrovirus, simian T-lymphotropic virus, and gibbon ape leukemia virus, have been shown to cause clinical disease in nonhuman primates. In contrast, simian foamy virus, a retrovirus that is highly prevalent in most nonhuman primates, has not been associated with clinical disease in naturally infected primates. Although it has been shown that human retrovirus infections with human T-lymphotropic virus and human immunodeficiency virus originated through multiple independent introductions of simian retroviruses into human populations that then spread globally, little is known about the frequency of such zoonotic events. In this article, exogenous simian retroviruses are reviewed as a concern for zoo and wildlife veterinarians, primate handlers, other persons in direct contact with nonhuman primates, and other nonhuman primates in a collection. The health implications for individual animals as well as managed populations in zoos and research institutions are discussed, the cross-species transmission and zoonotic disease potential of simian retroviruses are described, and suggestions for working safely with nonhuman primates are provided.  相似文献
