M. BENNETT † ‡  D. BAXBY†  R. M. GASKELL  C. J. GASKELL‡  D. F. KELLY 《The Journal of small animal practice》1985,26(11):653-661

Twenty-eight cases of naturally occurring feline Orthopoxvirus infection were diagnosed by combinations of virus isolation, electron microscopy, agar gel precipitation, histopathology and serology. Twenty-five of 28 cases were positive by virus isolation on the chorioallantoic membrane of hens' eggs and in tissue culture, 22 of 28 by electron microscopy, three of five by histopathology, none by agar gel precipitation, and 17 of 17 by serology. The techniques used are described, and the results compared and discussed.  相似文献   

Some aspects of the epidemiology of equine salmonellosis   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

AP BEGG  KG JOHNSTON  DR HUTCHINS  DJ EDWARDS 《Australian veterinary journal》1988,65(7):221-223

A survey of 2 horse populations was done to detect the number of asymptomatic faecal excretors of Salmonella sp. 1201 faecal samples from 250 horses hospitalised at the University of Sydney were cultured. Three serotypes, S. typhimurium (4 horses), S. anatum (2) and S. tennessee (1) were isolated from 7 horses (2.8%). None was detected in 75 mares similarly examined at a thoroughbred stud farm. In retrospect, S. typhimurium was also the most common (70%) of the 19 serotypes recovered from 171 horses with clinical salmonellosis seen at Camden, 1969 to 1986. Forty cases occurring since 1983 were reviewed in detail; the mortality rate was high (60%) and an increased proportion was due to S. bovis-morbificans. Five horses developed salmonellosis while hospitalised and it was usually impossible to be certain whether these cases developed from the carrier state into overt disease or resulted from infections acquired in hospital.  相似文献   

Cardiovascular and respiratory effects of acetylpromazine and xylazine on halothaneanesthetized horses     

E. P. STEFFEY  A. B. KELLY  T. B. FARVER†  M. J. WOLINER 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》1985,8(3):290-302

Circulatory and respiratory effects of intravenously administered acetylpromazine (0.033 and 0.067 mg/kg) and xylazine (0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg) were studied in drug cross-over fashion in eight laterally recumbent horses anesthetized only with halothane (1.06%, end-tidal) in O2. Both doses of acetylpromazine caused a significant and sustained elevation in cardiac output via a rise in stroke volume. Xylazine produced an initial significant fall in cardiac output followed by a return to control levels. Halothane anesthesia did not prevent xylazine-related atrioventricular conduction block. All treatments caused a similar significant fall in arterial blood pressure (acetylpromazine, total peripheral resistance-related; xylazine, cardiac output-related). PaCO2 significantly increased after all treatments. PaCO2 decreased significantly only following xylazine treatment. One horse (not included in the tabulation) developed ventricular fibrillation and died 15 min after receiving its first injection (0.5 mg/kg) of xylazine.  相似文献   

Rhinocerebral and nasal zygomycosis in sheep caused by Conidiobolus incongruus     

PJ KETTERER  MA KELLY  MD CONNOLE  L. AJELLO† 《Australian veterinary journal》1992,69(4):85-87

The clinical findings, pathology and mycology of a cluster of 5 ovine cases of rhinocerebral and nasal zygomycosis caused by Conidiobolus incongruus are described. All cases were in Border Leicester or Merino x Border Leicester ewes from a flock pastured in a low-lying paddock adjoining a small tidal river in subtropical Queensland (latitude 28 degrees S). These cases of zygomycosis are believed to be the first infections due to C incongruus recorded in animals other than humans. The disease was subacute in 4 animals with a course of up to several weeks. In these, the primary site of infection was the posterior nasal cavity. The lesions extended to the dorsum of the face between the eyes, to the orbital cavity and to the anterior brain and meninges in the cranial cavity. In one animal, where the anterior nasal cavity was affected and iodine treatment used, the course was longer. The fungal granulomas had numerous foreign body giant cells, neutrophils and eosinophils. Fungal hyphae were thin walled, 6 to 8 microns in diameter, with occasional septa and irregular branching. They were cuffed with a wide zone of necrotic cell coagulum, or with homogeneous eosinophilic Splendore-Hoeppli granules.  相似文献   

The importation of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) from Zimbabwe into Australia     

JD KELLY  DJ BLYDE  IS DENNEY 《Australian veterinary journal》1995,72(10):369-374

SUMMARY The paper describes a program to import and breed black rhinoceros ex situ at Western Plains Zoo in Australia. Nine rhinoceros (7 females and 2 males) captured in 1992 in Chete National Park, Zimbabwe, were transported to Australia via Cocos Island. The veterinary treatment of the animals before and during quarantine in Zimbabwe and on Cocos (Keeling) Islands is described. Three animals died; an adult male on Cocos Islands and a juvenile male and an adult female at Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo, New South Wales. The juvenile male died as a result of trauma sustained shortly after arrival and the two adults after developing a severe hepatopathy. The group of 6 females and an additional 4 males imported from the USA in 1994 have adapted well to captivity and to the climate and environment of central west New South Wales.  相似文献   

A survey of neurological diseases in horses     

CM TYLER  RE DAVIS  AP BEGG  DR HUTCHINS  DR HODGSON 《Australian veterinary journal》1993,70(12):445-449

SUMMARY: Case records of 450 horses with signs of neurological disease are reviewed. One hundred and nineteen horses with neurological disease due to trauma were examined, of which 60 were due to spinal cord trauma, 47 to brain or cranial nerve trauma and 12 to peripheral nerve trauma. Cervical vertebral fractures/trauma were the most common injury. Basisphenold/basloccipital bone fractures were the most common form of cranial trauma and facial nerve paralysis the most common cranial nerve injury. Eighty-nine horses with neurological disease due to malformation were examined. Cervical vertebral malformation occurred in 83 horses and congenital defects in 6 foals. Neurological disease due to inflammation or infection occurred in 30 horses. The most common disease of this type was meningitis, which occurred in 11 horses and foals. Neoplasms in the CNS caused neurological disease in 8 horses. The final category was miscellaneous neurological disease, which was diagnosed in 204 horses. Diseases in this category included neonatal (28 cases), toxic/metabolic (27 cases), idiopathic (133 cases), degenerative (3 cases) and other neurological diseases (13 cases). The most common condition was idiopathic laryngeal hemiplegia (116 cases).
Where possible, diagnosis relied on a thorough neurological examination with use of ancillary tests in selected cases including rhinolaryngoscopy, radiography, myelography, ophthalmoscopy and cerebrospinal fluid analysis when indicated. In many cases necropsy and histopathological confirmation or diagnosis was necessary.  相似文献   

Bone Morphogenetic Protein‐6 (BMP‐6) Stimulates the Antrum Formation by the Regulation of its Signalling Pathway in Caprine Pre‐antral Follicles Cultured In Vitro          下载免费PDF全文

VR Araújo  GM Silva  ABG Duarte  DM Magalhães‐Padilha  AP Almeida  FO Lunardi  MKB Serafim  AAA Moura  CC Campello  APR Rodrigues  JR Figueiredo 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2016,51(1):59-68

BMP‐6 has been found to be important to ovarian cells and oocyte, as well as to uterus. Thus, this study investigated the effect of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP‐6) and recombinant follicle‐stimulating hormone (rFSH) alone or in combination on the in vitro culture (IVC) of isolated caprine secondary follicles (Experiment 1) and the mRNA levels for BMP receptors/Smad signalling pathway (BMPR1A, BMPR2, SMAD1, SMAD4, SMAD5, SMAD6, SMAD7 and SMAD8) in vivo and in vitro using BMP‐6 (Experiment 2). Secondary follicles were cultured in αMEM⁺ alone (control medium) or supplemented with BMP‐6 at 1 or 10 ng/ml and rFSH alone or the combination of both BMP‐6 concentrations and rFSH. The results from Experiment 1 showed that the antrum formation rate was higher in the BMP‐6 at 1 ng/ml (p < 0.05) than in MEM. In Experiment 2, the mRNA expression for BMPR2, SMAD1, SMAD5 and SMAD6 was detected in non‐cultured control and after in vitro culture (MEM and 1 ng/ml BMP‐6); while the expression of SMAD7 and SMAD8 mRNA was only detected after IVC, SMAD4 was only detected in the BMP‐6 at 1 ng/ml treatment. In conclusion, the low BMP‐6 concentration positively influenced antrum formation and ensured normal mRNA expression for BMP receptor and Smads after IVC of caprine secondary follicles.  相似文献
