Analysis of glycoprotein I (gI) negative and aberrant pseudorabies viral diagnostic isolates.     

J B Katz  J C Pederson 《American journal of veterinary research》1992,53(12):2259-2263

Glycoprotein I (gI) phenotypes and genotypes of 4 pseudorabies viral diagnostic isolates were evaluated by use of in vitro DNA amplification, monoclonal antibody binding, gI-specific serodiagnostic responses, and in vivo virulence approaches. Three viruses were avirulent and did not elicit gI-specific serologic responses, react with gI-specific monoclonal antibodies, or contain gI epitope-encoding DNA sequences. The fourth virus was virulent and did elicit a gI-specific serodiagnostic response. Compared with reference virulent pseudorabies viruses, however, the fourth isolate had reduced reactivity with a group of gI monoclonal antibodies and had a single nucleotide sequence substitution with a corresponding putative amino acid change in the epitopically dominant portion of the gI molecule. Presumably, the first 3 isolates represented diagnostic recoveries of viruses derived from gI-deleted modified-live pseudorabies viral vaccines, whereas the fourth isolate was a virulent but gI-aberrant wild-type virus. Thoroughly assessing the gI status of pseudorabies viral diagnostic isolates was considered to be essential in evaluating the epidemiologic importance of these viruses and in monitoring the validity of gI-based vaccine companion tests now used worldwide in pseudorabies control and eradication programs.  相似文献

Repeated manual evacuation for treatment of rectal tears in four horses     

Katz LM  Ragle CA 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1999,215(10):1473-7, 1448

Horses with tears that involve all layers of the rectum except the mesocolon (grade IIIb) have a poor prognosis for survival because of the difficulty in treating these wounds and the propensity for them to progress to full perforations (grade IV). Most treatments for grade-IIIb rectal tears involve surgery of some kind, but not all grade-IIIb rectal tears require surgical intervention. We report on 4 horses with grade-IIIb rectal tears that were evaluated via palpation per rectum and endoscopy. Two of 4 horses were admitted with signs consistent with shock and endotoxemia, and evaluation of all peritoneal fluid samples was indicative of nonseptic peritonitis. Horses were treated via administration of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs and repeated manual evacuation of the terminal portion of the small colon and rectum. Treatment centered on preventing further enlargement of the rectal tear by eliminating the storage function of the terminal portion of the small colon and rectum. None of our horses had worsening of the original injury, and horses were discharged within 2 weeks of admission with full resolution of the rectal tear. Outcomes in the horses of our report indicate that repeated manual evacuation can be successful for treatment of horses with grade-IIIb rectal tears.  相似文献   

Experimental infection of normal and immunosuppressed pigs with Pseudomonas pseudomallei   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

AD THOMAS  JC FORBES-FAULKNER  TL D''ARCY  JH NORTON  D HOFFMANN 《Australian veterinary journal》1990,67(2):43-46

A single dose of 5 x 10(8) bacilli of Pseudomonas pseudomallei by intratracheal injection resulted in acute (21 cases) or chronic (19 cases) melioidosis in 40 of 48 pigs. Fifteen (10 acute and 5 chronic) had been immunosuppressed by cyclophosphamide before inoculation. The major clinical signs were initial fever, marked neutrophilia and, in the acute cases, respiratory distress. There were no signs of the nasal and ocular discharge, paresis or diarrhoea seen in acute cases in south-east Asia. The cyclophosphamide treatment caused a significant decrease in the neutrophil count by 7 d after inoculation in all 15 immunosuppressed pigs, and all were culture positive at necropsy. Eight of the 33 non-treated pigs were culture negative at necropsy. Pigs overcoming the initial phase of infection had more abscess-like nodules that were bacteriologically sterile at necropsy than the pigs with acute cases of melioidosis. P. pseudomallei was isolated predominantly from the spleen, lungs and the injection site. Although only one strain was used in this study, it is likely that Australian strains of P. pseudomallei are not as virulent as the south-east Asian isolates.  相似文献   

Fouling formation and chemical control in drip irrigation systems using treated wastewater     

Sagi Katz  Carlos Dosoretz  Yona Chen  Jorge Tarchitzky 《Irrigation Science》2014,32(6):459-469

Drip irrigation systems are prone to changes in flow rate (FR) and increasing coefficients of variation (CV) when fed with treated wastewater, due to fouling inside the drippers. A model system was designed to measure the FR and fouling accumulation in laterals and drippers under different treatment conditions. A novel approach was taken to compare the different maintenance treatments. A comparison of chlorination and acidification strategies showed that daily chlorination and periodic acidification may prolong proper functioning of the drippers by maintaining a normal FR [(up to ±7 %) of nominal FR] and CV (<7 %) index in correlation with low fouling accumulation in the pipeline (<0.01 mg deposit/cm _pipe ² ). Current recommendations for the frequency of conventional treatments were found to be insufficient. Chemical analyses of the fouling inside the dripper and accumulated on the pipe wall showed that biofilm can survive inside the dripper under harsh environmental conditions, even when the pipeline stays clean. These results shed light on biofilm growth and survival mechanisms inside the dripper and may pave the way to developing new treatments or improving dripper design.  相似文献

Microbial diffusion assay for antibiotics in feeds using a simplified design     

M S Brady  S E Katz 《Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists》1988,71(4):717-720

Results are compared for the microbiological analysis of antibiotics in feeds using the AOAC plate diffusion assay and the simplified 2-plate assay. Five antibiotics, bacitracin, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, penicillin, and streptomycin, were used to supplement feed extracts at levels of 100 and 25 micrograms antibiotic/g feed (bacitracin at 100 micrograms/g only). For bacitracin at the one level and for penicillin at both levels, the 2-plate design yielded significantly more accurate results than those of the AOAC assay. The same was true for the 25 micrograms/g level of oxytetracycline and the 100 micrograms/g level of streptomycin. For streptomycin at the 25 micrograms/g supplementation, the AOAC assay results showed better accuracy. There was no significant difference in results between the 2 designs for oxytetracycline at 100 micrograms/g and chlortetracycline at either level. The accuracy and precision of the results for the 2-plate design are equivalent to or better than those obtained using the AOAC design; in addition, the 2-plate assay is less labor-intensive, is more cost-effective, and is able to determine reasonable conditions of similarity.  相似文献
