A MUCOSAL DISEASE VIRUS INFECTION OF THE PREGNANT EWE AS A CAUSE OF A BORDER DISEASE-LIKE CONDITION     

J. W. Plant  B.V.Sc.    G. P. Gard  B.V.Sc.  Ph.D.  Helen M. Acland  B.V.Sc. 《Australian veterinary journal》1976,52(6):247-249

An experiment was designed to investigate whether a condition in Australian sheep with clinical and pathological similarites to Border Disease was caused by the infection of the pregnant ewe with a Mucosal Disease virus (MDV). Forty ewes, at 58 to 63 days after mating, were inoculated with material from lambs in which all, some or none of the tissues examined contained MDV. The clinical condition was observed only in lambs born to ewes inoculated with MDV-positive material and then only to ewes in the group which had serological evidence of MDV infection. It is concluded that the Border Disease-like condition in Australian sheep is caused by the infection of the pregnant ewe with a Mucosal Disease virus.  相似文献

TRANSMISSION OF A MUCOSAL DISEASE VIRUS INFECTION BETWEEN SHEEP     

J. W. Plant    G. P. Gard  Helen M.  Acland 《Australian veterinary journal》1977,53(12):574-577

The transmission of mucosal disease virus (MDV) from infected ewes and their lambs to susceptible sheep was investigated. MDV was recovered from the amniotic fluid of an infected pregnant ewe and from the blood, nasal swabs and urine of hairy lambs. MDV infection was transmitted either at lambing, from infective foetal fluids or lambs, or later as a result of contact with a surviving with a hairy lamb and either aborted or gave birth to an infected hairy lamb. Adult sheep and 12-months-old sheep were less readily infected than were newborn lambs. Pregnant ewes were infected by contact with a hairy lamb and either aborted or gave birth to an infected hairy lamb. A method to minimise spread of the infection in the field is suggested.  相似文献   

Long-term use of cyclosporine in the treatment of canine atopic dermatitis     

Radowicz SN  Power HT 《Veterinary dermatology》2005,16(2):81-86

This retrospective study of 51 dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD) treated with cyclosporine (CsA) for a minimum of 6 months assessed the frequency of dosing and the need for continual treatment to control clinical signs. The study evaluated both medical records and information supplied by the owners in the form of written questionnaires and telephone follow-up. Laboratory parameters, possible adverse effects and owner satisfaction were assessed. The dose of CsA was 5 mg/kg orally per day and dogs received CsA for 6-30 months. At the conclusion of the study period, 28 dogs (55%) needed ongoing CsA to control clinical signs of AD: 8 (15%) received CsA 2-3 days per week, 10 (20%) 4-5 days per week, and 10 (20%) daily. CsA was discontinued in 23 dogs (45%) after 6-24 months due to either a limited response (22%) or after achieving a clinical response (24%). The results suggest that some dogs with AD treated with CsA may not require daily or even ongoing treatment to control clinical signs. Laboratory abnormalities were detected in 13 dogs (25%) during their CsA treatment. Two dogs developed oral growths and three developed hirsuitism. Forty owners (78%) reported no adverse events in their dogs during the treatment period. Thirty-six owners (71%) were satisfied with CsA as treatment for their atopic dog.  相似文献

Effect of exercise on age-related changes in collagen fibril diameter distributions in the common digital extensor tendons of young horses     

Edwards LJ  Goodship AE  Birch HL  Patterson-Kane JC 《American journal of veterinary research》2005,66(4):564-568

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether specific treadmill exercise regimens would accelerate age-related changes in collagen fibril diameter distributions in the common digital extensor tendon (CDET) of the forelimbs of young Thoroughbreds. ANIMALS: 24 female Thoroughbreds. PROCEDURE: Horses were trained for 18 weeks (6 horses; short term) or 18 months (5 horses; long term) on a high-speed treadmill; 2 age-matched control groups (6 horses/group) performed walking exercise only. Horses were (mean +/- SD) 24 +/- 1 months and 39 +/- 1 months old at termination of the short-term and long-term regimens, respectively. Midmetacarpal CDET specimens were obtained and processed for transmission electron microscopy. Diameter and area of at least 1,000 collagen fibrils/specimen were measured by use of computerized image analysis. Mass-average diameter (MAD) of collagen fibrils and collagen fibril index were calculated for each horse. RESULTS: Collagen fibril MAD for the older horses was significantly less than that for the younger horses. Exercise did not significantly affect fibril diameter or distributions in either age group, and collagen fibril index did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Age-related reduction in collagen fibril MAD agreed with findings for other tendons and species. Training did not accelerate age-related change in the CDET in contrast to a reported decrease in collagen fibril MAD in the superficial digital flexor tendon of horses trained long term. Our results support the concept that the functionally distinct nature of the CDET and superficial digital flexor tendon in horses results in fundamentally different responses to high-speed exercise regimens.  相似文献   

AAHA senior care guidelines for dogs and cats     

Senior Care Guidelines Task Force  AAHA  Epstein M  Kuehn NF  Landsberg G  Lascelles BD  Marks SL  Schaedler JM  Tuzio H 《Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association》2005,41(2):81-91

This paper provides a working framework for enhancing the well-being of senior pet dogs and cats. Approaches to screening the medical status of senior pets are described in detail, with particular emphasis on establishing baseline data in healthy animals, the testing of clinically ill animals, and assessing senior pets prior to anesthesia and surgery. The management of pain and distress and the application of hospice and palliative care are addressed. Advice on ways to approach euthanasia and dealing with end-of-life issues is also provided.  相似文献
