The in vitro susceptibilities of 59 avian Aspergillus fumigatus strains to amphotericin B, itraconazole, and voriconazole were determined using the standard microdilution broth method (CLSI M38-A2). Four isolates showed acquired resistance itraconazole voriconazole, harboring implications for treatment aspergillosis both birds humans.

Aspergillosis is one of the most common causes death in captive birds. birds mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a ubiquitous and opportunistic saprophyte. Currently it not known whether there link between environmental isolates and/or human A. fumigatus those responsible for aspergillosis Microsatellite typing was used to analyse 65 clinical avian 23 fumigatus. The 78 genotypes that were obtained compared with database containing 2514 from samples environment. There appeared be no...

Abstract In the Netherlands, demand for veterinarians and veterinary nurses (VNs) working within referral care is rapidly growing currently exceeds amount of available board‐certified specialists. Simultaneously, a transparent structure to guide training development assess quality non‐specialist VNs in setting lacking. response, we developed learning pathways guided by an entrustable professional activity (EPA) framework programmatic assessment support personalised competence settings....

Home-based cardiac rehabilitations (CRs) with digital technologies have been researched and implemented to replace, augment, complement traditional center-based CR in recent years considerable success. One problem that technology-enhanced home-based can potentially address is the gap between interventions formal programs. In Netherlands some other countries (eg, Australia), patients after stay at home for 3-4 weeks without much support from their physicians, often engage very little physical...

In a breeding group of Inca terns (Larosterna inca), 14 birds died without antemortem signs illness. Other than poor body condition and bloody cloaca, no symptoms were observed. Gross necropsy revealed severe segmental hemorrhagic enteritis with intralesional trematodes in most birds. Histopathologic examination infiltration lymphocytes, plasma cells, granulocytes the lamina propria duodenum cross-sections lumen.
