Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution, caused by pathogenic serovars in the genus Leptospira. Feral pigs are known carriers of Leptospira species and pig hunting using dogs common recreational activity Queensland, Australia.This study aimed to determine seroprevalence spp. pig-hunting above Tropic Capricorn Queensland establishing geographic incidence human cases leptospirosis identify potential overlap between canine exposure. We also explored knowledge risk-taking...
Abstract Background Canine heartworm disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis , has global veterinary importance. In Australia, the prevalence of canine infection decreased markedly following introduction over-the-counter macrocyclic lactones. We aimed to estimate in at-risk populations dogs eastern Australia and analyse published data from Australia. Methods total, 566 were tested for presence D. antigen. Four cohorts studied: pig-hunting Queensland (Cohort 1, n = 104), remote New South Wales...
The causative agent of Q fever, Coxiella burnetii , is endemic to Queensland and one the most important notifiable zoonotic diseases in Australia. reservoir species for C . are classically ruminants, including sheep, cattle goats. There increasing evidence exposure dogs across eastern central present study aimed determine if pig‐hunting above Tropic Capricorn had similar rates previous serosurveys companion rural north‐west New South Wales. A total 104 serum IgG antibody titres phase I 2...
Canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is a life-threatening infection of dogs with global distribution. Information on the prevalence D. immitis and associated risk factors for canine antigen positivity-and thus disease-in Australia scarce or outdated. The current reference method diagnosis in via detection blood using commercially available microwell-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Heat treatment plasma prior to testing has been suggested increase test sensitivity. aim...
Prepubertal desexing (neutering) has been a legal requirement for all cats and dogs in the Australian Capital Territory since 2001. All have to be desexed by 3 months of age, are required 6 age. The role veterinary attitudes behaviors implementation mandatory prepubertal is explored this paper. An online survey was sent veterinarians registered via Veterinary Surgeons Board (VSB). designed as cross-sectional study, hosted using software REDcap® analyzed statistical program R®. A response...

Pig hunting popular recreational activity rural Qld and NSW, pigs these states carry B. suis. associated has been diagnosed dogs engaged some of areas. A total 431 from northern north-west NSW were recruited. Two distinct cohorts clinically healthy tested - (1) 96 central, north...
Impingement of the tracheal tube on upper airway structures occurs commonly during advancement over a fibreoptic bronchoscope or introducer. In this descriptive study fibrescope was used to assess site and mechanism impingement variety bronchoscopes introducers orotracheal intubation in anaesthetized adults. The effect 90° counterclockwise rotation manoeuvre overcoming also assessed. We recorded at right arytenoid, left epiglottis, interarytenoid tissue pyriform fossa. Our found wider range...
To evaluate the extent, costs, demands and expectations of Australian veterinary practices in treatment wildlife, to identify potential risks animal welfare based on current situation propose recommendations for improvements.A survey was sent all across Australia identified through website Yellow Pages®. The designed as a cross-sectional study. Data were collected using an online self-completed questionnaire analysed IBM SPSS 19.0.Of 902 contacted, 132 (14.6%) completed questionnaire. Most...
Due to resource limitations, animal shelters in Australia historically have focused on rehoming animals considered 'highly adoptable'. Increasingly, are with pre-existing medical and/or behavioural issues. These often rehomed an 'indemnity waiver' transfer the responsibility of ongoing financial costs associated these conditions from shelter new owner. However, it is unknown what effect indemnity waivers length stay (LOS) prior adoption. The current study used data collected Royal Society...
