Recovery of brodifacoum in vomitus following induction of emesis in dogs that had ingested rodenticide bait     

KH Parton  EK Willson  MG Collett  LH Booth 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2018,66(1):41-43

AIM: To assess the benefit of inducing emesis in dogs that have ingested rodenticide bait containing brodifacoum (BDF), by determining the amount of BDF in bait recovered from the vomitus relative to the estimated amount consumed.

METHODS: Between 2014 and 2015 samples of vomitus from seven dogs that ingested rodenticide baits containing BDF were submitted by veterinarians in New Zealand. All seven dogs had been given apomorphine by the veterinarian and vomited within 1 hour of ingesting the bait. Some or all of the bait particles were retrieved from each sample and were analysed for concentrations of BDF using HPLC. Based on estimations of the mass of bait consumed, the concentration of BDF stated on the product label, and the estimated mass of bait in the vomitus of each dog, the amount of BDF in the vomited bait was calculated as a percentage of the amount ingested.

RESULTS: For five dogs an estimation of the mass of bait ingested was provided by the submitting veterinarian. For these dogs the estimated percentage of BDF in the bait retrieved from the vomitus was between 10–77%. All dogs were well after discharge but only one dog returned for further testing. This dog had a normal prothrombin time 3 days after ingestion.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The induction of emesis within 1 hour of ingestion can be a useful tool in reducing the exposure of dogs to a toxic dose of BDF. The BDF was not fully absorbed within 1 hour of ingestion suggesting that the early induction of emesis can remove bait containing BDF before it can be fully absorbed.  相似文献   

Detection of pigeon circovirus by polymerase chain reaction     

Roy P  Dhillon AS  Lauerman L  Shivaprasad HL 《Avian diseases》2003,47(1):218-222

Pigeon circovirus was identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in young pigeons belonging to 12 different lofts. Viral DNA was extracted from formalin-fed, paraffin-imbedded tissues containing primarily bursa and occasionally liver and spleen with a commercial kit. PCR primers were selected from a published sequence for columbid circovirus and evaluated in a PCR assay. The histopathologic examination of various tissues revealed basophilic globular intracytoplasmic inclusions in the mononuclear cells of the bursa of Fabricius and occasionally in the spleen characteristic for a circovirus. Transmission electron microscopy of a few bursas of Fabricius revealed virus particles measuring 18-21 nm. All the samples were negative by PCR for psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) virus and chicken infectious anemia virus. The primers for both pigeon circovirus and PBFD virus did not react in PCR with the chicken anemia virus DNA. Most of the circovirus-infected pigeons had concurrent infections of Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Pasteurella, Aspergillus, candidiasis, nematodiasis, or capillariasis.  相似文献   

Laboratory evaluation of aqueous humor in the healthy dog, cat, horse, and cow   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S J Hazel  M A Thrall  G A Severin  L H Lauerman  J D Lavach 《American journal of veterinary research》1985,46(3):657-659

Using routinely available clinical laboratory methods, aqueous humor samples were evaluated from 12 healthy dogs, 15 healthy cats, 7 healthy horses, and 6 healthy cows. Aqueous humor was almost acellular; cells that were present had degenerated beyond recognition. Protein concentration was low; only albumin was detectable on electrophoresis. Creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes were not detected. Artifacts induced by sampling were insignificant compared with alterations in aqueous humor composition that occur with ocular diseases.  相似文献   

Immunoglobulin G Fc receptors of Mycoplasma synoviae     

L H Lauerman  R A Reynolds-Vaughn 《Avian diseases》1991,35(1):135-138

The objective of the study was to demonstrate and characterize IgG Fc receptors of Mycoplasma synoviae. Two IgG Fc receptors were recognized with molecular weights (MW) of 80,000 and 90,000 and isoelectric focusing points (pI) of 5.3 and 4.3, respectively. The activity of the IgG Fc receptors was eliminated by exposure to 0.1 unit of protease for 10 minutes. Mild reduction in activity was observed with trypsin between 100 to 1000 units for 10 minutes. The IgG Fc receptors were resistant to exposure to 60 C for 60 minutes and to 100 C for 20 minutes. The M. synoviae IgG Fc receptors were strongly reactive to affinity-purified Fc Fragment of chicken IgG; affinity-purified chicken IgG; and serum IgG of chicken, quail, pigeon, and turkey. A moderate reaction was detected to human affinity-purified IgG, and weak reactions were detected to affinity-purified IgG of cat, cow, dog, goat, guinea pig, horse, and rabbit. No reaction occurred with IgG of duck, goose, mouse, pig or rat.  相似文献   

Purification and partial characterization of a macrophage cytotoxin from Pasteurella haemolytica   总被引：19，自引：0，他引：19  

M E Himmel  M D Yates  L H Lauerman  P G Squire 《American journal of veterinary research》1982,43(5):764-767

A protein from Pasteurella haemolytica that was highly immunogenic and toxic toward bovine alveolar macrophages was partially purified. When isolated from culture supernatants of P haemolytica serotype 1 or serotype 6, the protein reacted on Ouchterlony immunodiffusion tests with antisera from 12 serotypes of P haemolytica, but did not cross-react with antisera to serotypes of P multocida. This indicated that the protein may be specific for P haemolytica. Bacteria were grown in dialysis culture in a brain-heart infusion and calf-serum growth medium. The protein was isolated from the medium by ultrafiltration and size-exclusion chromatography and has a molecular weight of approximately 150,000 daltons. The protein, which is highly immunogenic and has the characteristics of a virulence factor, is common to all serotypes of P haemolytica, and may be an effective agent for immunization against P haemolytica in cattle.  相似文献   

Trypsin treatment of bovine ova after in vitro exposure to vesicular stomatitis virus     

D A Stringfellow  L H Lauerman  M S Thomson 《American journal of veterinary research》1989,50(6):990-992

Preimplantation bovine ova were exposed in vitro to vesicular stomatitis virus, Indiana serotype, to document adherence of the virus to the zona pellucida. To determine the efficacy of this treatment, some of the ova were treated with trypsin after exposure to the virus. Vesicular stomatitis virus was isolated from 5 of 10 groups of zona pellucida-intact ova after 12 sequential washes without trypsin treatment. Vesicular stomatitis virus was also isolated from 4 of 11 groups of zona pellucida-intact ova after trypsin treatment.  相似文献

Results of salmonella isolation from poultry products, poultry, poultry environment, and other characteristics     

Roy P  Dhillon AS  Lauerman LH  Schaberg DM  Bandli D  Johnson S 《Avian diseases》2002,46(1):17-24

Five hundred sixty-nine Salmonella were isolated out of 4745 samples from poultry products, poultry, and poultry environment in 1999 and 2000 from the Pacific northwest. These Salmonella were identified to their exact source, and some were serogrouped, serotyped, phage typed, and tested for antibiotic sensitivity. Food product samples tested included rinse water of spent hens and broilers and chicken ground meat. Poultry environment samples were hatchery fluff from the hatcheries where eggs of grandparent broiler breeders or parent broiler breeder eggs were hatched and drag swabs from poultry houses. Diagnostic samples were of liver or yolk sac contents collected at necropsy from the young chicks received in the laboratory. Of these samples tested, 569 were Salmonella positive (11.99%). Ninety-two Salmonella were serogrouped with polyvalent somatic antisera A-I and the polymerase chain reaction. Somatic serogroups B and C comprised 95.25% of all the Salmonella. Out of a total of 569 positive samples, 97 isolates of Salmonella were serotyped. A total of 16 serotypes and an unnamed Salmonella belonging to serogroup C1 were identified. The Salmonella serotypes were heidelberg (25.77%); kentucky (21.64%); montevideo (11.34%); hadar and enteritidis (5.15% each); infantis, typhimurium, ohio, and thompson (4.12% each); mbandaka and cerro (3.09% each); senftenberg (2.06%); berta, istanbul, indiana, and saintpaul (1.03% each); and an unnamed monomorphic Salmonella (2.06%). Ninety-two Salmonella were tested for drug sensitivity with nine different antimicrobials. All of the 92 Salmonella were resistant to erythromycin, lincomycin, and penicillin except one sample (S. berta), which was moderately sensitive to penicillin. All of the tested Salmonella were susceptible to sarafloxacin and ceftiofur. The percentages of Salmonella susceptible to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, gentamicin, triple sulfa, and tetracycline were 97.83%, 92.39%, 86.96%, and 82.61%, respectively.  相似文献   

Monoclonal antibodies that recognize specific antigens of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The polypeptide profiles of the type strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (PG 31) and M. synoviae (WVU 1853) resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were compared. Except for a few discrete peptides that were similar, the species varied considerably in peptide profiles. Congruence was observed between the type strains of each species and homologous cloned serotypes. Protein blots of each species were probed with 2 mouse monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibody G 46 was specific for the antigen p 110 (G) in M. gallisepticum, and S 221 was specific for an antigen complex p 45-50 (S) in M. synoviae. The 2 monoclonal antibodies clearly distinguished between all serotypes of M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae that were examined by Western blot transfer. Autoradiographs of 125I-labeled M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae indicated that p 110 (G) and p 45-50 (S) were surface membrane peptides. Indirect immunofluorescence of M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae in Vero cell cultures supported the autoradiographic findings. The p 110 (G) antigen of M. gallisepticum was heat-stable, pronase-sensitive, and resistant to periodate oxidation, suggesting that its chemical composition is protein. In contrast, the p 45-50 antigen complex of M. synoviae appeared as a broad band in protein blots treated with monoclonal antibody S 221, was sensitive to pronase, and responded to Schiff's reagent but was not completely inhibited by periodate oxidation, suggesting that it is a complex of repeating sequences probably composed of glycosylated peptides.  相似文献
