SUMMARY: Infection of cattle with bluetongue and Douglas viruses was detected on the central and southern coast of New South Wales from January to April 1989. Bluetongue virus infection was found well south of areas of expected occurrence. Evidence is presented to support wind-borne dispersal of infected vectors, Culicoides brevitarsis , southwards from the Hunter Valley.  相似文献   

Complete Heart Block in a Dog Seropositive for Borrelia burgdorferi: Similarity to Human Lyme Carditis   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

Lyme disease has been recognized in humans since 1975 when it was associated with an outbreak of oligoarthritis in children in Lyme, Connecticut. Erythema chronicum migrans (ECM) is a clinical marker for the human disease, which usually appears within 3 to 32 days after an infected tick bite. Lyme disease is caused by spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is vectored by the hard ticks Ixodes dammini or Ixodes pacificus in the United States. In humans, Lyme disease has been found to cause a variety of clinical syndromes including cardiopathy, neuropathy, dermatopathy, and arthropathy. Human Lyme carditis is characterized by varying degrees of atrioventricular (AV) heart block that usually resolve regardless of therapy. Lyme disease has been reported in the dog as an arthropathy. This article reports a case of complete heart block and myocarditis in a dog with a positive titer for B burgdorferi, in which clinical and pathologic findings were similar to those seen in human Lyme myocarditis.  相似文献   

CEREBRAL VENTRICULAR SIZE IN DEVELOPING NORMAL KITTENS MEASURED BY ULTRASONOGRAPHY     

Karin  Hultin Jäderlund  DVM  Kerstin  Hansson  DVM  Anna-Lena  Berg  DVM  pHd  Anders  Sjöström  MD  pHd  Kristina  Narfström  DVM  PHD 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2003,44(5):581-588

To evaluate the age of fontanelle closure of normal kittens and the size of their lateral ventricles, 50 ultrasonographic examinations using the bregmatic fontanelle as an acoustic window were made. Seven kittens, laboratory animals, were included in the study. To verify the location of the lateral ventricle, two of the kittens were sacrificed as neonates. In one of them ink was injected prior to autopsy into one lateral ventricle under sonographic guidance. In a longitudinal study of five of the kittens, the skull depth and the depth of the central part of the lateral ventricle reproduced in a longitudinal view could be measured up to the age of about 5 months. During that period, the skull depth increased from a median value of 1.95 cm (1.92-1.98) in a seven-day-old cat to 2.58 cm (2.52-2.59) in a 154-day-old cat, while the afore-mentioned ventricle values increased from 0.3 mm to 1.1 mm.  相似文献   

Evaluation of the Cranial Rectus Abdominus Muscle Pedicle Flap as a Blood Supply for the Caudal Superficial Epigastric Skin Flap in Dogs     

DANIEL A. DEGNER DVM    RICHARD WALSHAW BVMS  Diplomate ACVS    STEVE P. ARNOCZKY DVM  MS  Diplomate ACVS    RICK J. SMITH MD    JON S. PATTERSON DVM  PhD  Diplomate ACVP    LISA A. DEGNER DVM    ANNICK HAMAIDE DVM  DIANA ROSENSTEIN DVM 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1996,25(4):292-299

This study evaluates the cranial rectus abdominus muscle pedicle flap as the sole blood supply for the caudal superficial epigastric skin flap. This flap was composed of a cranially based rectus abdominus muscle pedicle flap that was attached to the caudal superficial epigastric island skin flap (including mammary glands 2 to 5) via the pudendoepigastric trunk. Selective angiography of the cranial epigastric artery in eight cadaver dogs proved that the arterial vasculature in the cranial rectus abdominus was contiguous with that in the caudal superficial epigastric skin flap. In the live dog study, three of six of the flaps failed because of venous insufficiency. Necrosis of mammary gland 2 occurred in two of six flaps. One of six flaps survived with the exception of the cranial most aspect of mammary gland 2. Angiography of the cranial epigastric artery proved that arterial blood supply to these flaps was intact. Histological evaluation of the failed flaps showed full-thickness necrosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, the presence of severe congestion, and venous thrombosis. Retrograde venous blood flow through the flap was inconsistent, and hence resulted in failure of this myocutaneous flap. Use of this flap for clinical wound reconstruction cannot be recommended.  相似文献   

Postcaval Thrombosis and Delayed Shunt Migration After Pleuro-Peritoneal Venous Shunting for Concurrent Chylothorax and Chylous Ascites in a Dog     

STEVEN L. PETERSON DVM  MD  Diplomate ACVS 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1996,25(3):228-230

Simultaneous chylothorax and chylous ascites related to intestinal lymphangiectasia was diagnosed in a 4-year-old spayed female dog. Palliative pleural and peritoneal drainage was accomplished by placement of fenestrated silastic sheeting into surgically created diaphragmatic defects, and implantation of a pleuro-peritoneal venous shunt. The immediate postoperative period was complicated by acute renal failure secondary to postcaval thrombosis originating at the site of placement of the efferent pump catheter and extending to the level of the renal veins. Rapid resolution of this complication was accomplished with systemic anticoagulation. Clinical signs related to fluid accumulation resolved for 10 weeks after which acute decompensation occurred and the dog was euthanatized. Postmortem examination showed that reaccumulation of fluid was associated with migration of the efferent limb of the shunt from the caudal vena cava.  相似文献

Morphology of alpaca (Vicugna pacos) embryos in the first third of pregnancy          下载免费PDF全文

ANC Castro  MC Díaz  GJ Mendoza‐Torres  CA Llerena‐Zavala  MD Ghezzi  CG Barbeito 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2018,53(3):655-666

The breeding of South American camelids is the main economic activity of the high Andean region of South America and it, is potentially, the most profitable resource in of the Puna environmental conditions of the Puna. The duration of the gestation in alpaca is 339.7 ± 12 days. The objective of the present work was to macroscopically and microscopically describe the ontogenic development of the splanchnic cavities of the alpaca and to determine the gestational time in which the post‐cranial ossification centers are observed in the embryos/fetuses of this species, from day 21 to 107 of gestation. The documentation of normal ontogenic development, which is vacant for this period, is of the utmost importance to understand the consequences of the alterations at the different gestational times, as well as for the estimation of the gestational age in the case of abortions. Forty‐seven alpaca specimens of both sexes, at different times of their gestational development, collected during slaughter at local slaughterhouses of the Department of Huancavelica, Peru, were evaluated. Specimens were assigned to seven groups according to their morphological characteristics. The embryogenesis in the alpaca was characterized by a series of changes comparable to those occurring in other mammals with similar gestational periods. Despite these similarities, species differences were found in some organs as stomach, which are observed too in adult individuals.  相似文献
