(2017-07-26)Microscopic evaluation of urine sediments is underutilized in veterinary clinics. The IDEXX SediVue Dx® Urine Sediment Analyzer (SediVue) has been recently introduced for automated analysis of canine and feline urine. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)B rucella lipopolysaccharide is an important component of virulence in brucellosis. Recent research in macrophage models has shown that Brucella LPS does not behave like classical LPS by stimulating potent inflammatory responses. ...
-
(2015-04-24)Trade in wild-caught animals as pets is a global conservation and animal-welfare concern. Illegal and poorly-regulated legal wildlife trade can threaten biodiversity, spread infectious diseases, and result in considerable ...
-
(2019-07-22)Under current United States (U.S.) regulations, a dairy cow is eligible for slaughter 13 days following the last of 2 doses of ceftiofur crystalline-free acid (CCFA) for the treatment of metritis. A matched-pair longitudinal ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Cryptosporidium parvum is widely known for outbreaks within the immunocompetent population, as well its sometimes excruciating effects as an opportunistic agent in AIDS patients. Our understanding of the biology and ...
-
(2020-06-24)Feline atopic syndrome (FAS) is an allergic dermatological disease affecting cats, which has an unclear pathogenesis and clinical signs that are unique from atopic dermatitis affecting other species. Two factors thought ...
-
(2009-05-15)The replication of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) in macrophages not only leads to cell death, but also to the induction of a variety of cytokines that may affect immune function. Cytokine production may be responsible ...
-
(2009-05-15)Assessment of gastrointestinal permeability in vivo is considered a suitable method for the evaluation of gastrointestinal mucosal integrity. Probes commonly used include lactulose (L) and rhamnose (R) for the assessment ...
-
(2012-10-19)Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI) has been shown to be a useful marker of gastrointestinal protein loss in some species. The objectives of this study were, first, to develop and analytically validate an ELISA for the ...
-
(2020-01-13)Avian bornavirus (ABV) is the causal agent of a progressive fatal avian neurologic syndrome referred to as Parrot bornavirus syndrome, a complex of clinical problems that can include enteric ganglioneuritis and encephalitis, ...
-
(2019-11-08)Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) is a zoonotic disease endemic to environments worldwide. Spores, the dormant form of the bacteria, can survive for decades in nature’s harshest environments and maintain their viability to cause ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The Dalmatian is affected by deafness more than any other breed of domestic dog, with 30% of the United States population suffering from unilateral or bilateral deafness. The genetic origin of deafness in the Dalmatian is ...
-
(2017-07-28)Lyme disease (LD) is the most prevalent arthropod borne illness in the US. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent infection with LD in humans, rather, prevention of this disease relies on avoiding exposure to the tick ...
-
(2017-02-17)The objective of this work was to develop adenovirus-vectored prototype vaccines against two pathogens, African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), which cause disease in two major livestock ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) causes rapid development of acute disease followed by recurring episodes of fever, thrombocytopenia and viremia, termed chronic EIA. Most infected horses control the virus by immune ...
-
(2019-11-25)Cryptosporidium parvum is a zoonotic parasitic protist and the causative agent of cryptosporidiosis in humans and animals. The main symptom of cryptosporidiosis is diarrhea, which can be severe and life-threatening in ...
-
(2012-08-20)Genes modulating innate immunity in mammals are generally considered the first line of defense with respect to invading pathogens and therefore it has become important to characterize naturally occurring genetic variation, ...
-
(2015-12-12)Wild populations of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus; hereafter bobwhite) have declined across most of their historic U.S. range, and despite their importance as an experimental wildlife model for ecotoxicology ...
-
(2011-10-21)We collected 6,823 cloacal swabs over four years (2005–2006: 1,460; 2006– 2007: 2,171; 2007–2008: 2,424; and 2008–2009: 768) from 30 potential avian host species. Most samples (88.3 percent) were from dabbling ducks ...
