The ospC gene was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction from each of 76 Lyme disease Borrelia strains. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis demonstrated 33 distinct RFLP types; two additional types were identified published sequences. For type, at least one sequenced and degree sequence relatedness examined construction an tree. genes extremely diverse, with identity ranging 74.4% to 99.0%; majority changes are localized within central portion molecule. A comparison...
Abstract Cat domestication likely initiated as a symbiotic relationship between wildcats ( Felis silvestris subspecies) and the peoples of developing agrarian societies in Fertile Crescent. As humans transitioned from hunter-gatherers to farmers ~12,000 years ago, bold capitalized on increased prey density (i.e., rodents). Humans benefited cats’ predation these vermin. To refine site(s) cat domestication, over 1000 random-bred cats primarily Eurasian descent were genotyped for...
Our knowledge of parasites in wildlife remains limited, primarily due to restricted access samples, especially from protected species. This present study contributes the comprehension enigmatic world helminths African wild mammals and cestode biodiversity by combining both molecular morphological analysis. Cestode samples were opportunistically collected 77 individual definitive hosts South Africa, Namibia Ethiopia, encompassing 15 different species carnivores additionally domestic cats. The...
Shepherd and stray dogs are thought to represent the primary definitive hosts of Coenurosis by Taenia multiceps, due their feeding habits which translate into high chances coming contact with infected intermediate hosts. Nonetheless, little attention has been paid role red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in epidemiology coenurosis. In fact a knowledge gap exists on played foxes multiceps capability this parasite produce fertile viable eggs wild canid, i.e. occurrence sylvatic cycle. This study...
Five bacterial strains, UAE-HKU57T, UAE-HKU58, UAE-HKU59, UAE-HKU60 and UAE-HKU61, were isolated in Dubai, UAE, from necrotic foot tissue samples of four dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius) associated maggots (Wohrlfartia species). They non-sporulating, Gram-negative, non-motile bacilli. grew well under aerobic conditions at 37 °C, but not anaerobically. The pH range for growth was 7.0-9.0 (optimum, 7.5-8.0) the strains could tolerate NaCl concentrations (w/v) up to 2 % 0.5 %). catalase-...
We describe an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis in Stone curlews kept a mixed-species rearing unit Dubai. Cryptosporidium was the predominant intestinal pathogen detected, although microbiological investigations revealed concurrent Salmonella infantis infection two 29 curlew chicks that died. Nineteen birds had catarrhal enteritis associated with histopathological findings numerous developmental stages at mucosal surface. Catarrhal present without oocysts five cases. Histology intestine, faecal...
In this study, two sheep, eight dromedary camels and Bactrian were inoculated with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A SAU 22/92. Five naive four sheep kept in direct or indirect contact the camels. The which served as positive controls, displayed typical moderate clinical signs of FMD developed viraemia high antibody titres. presence was also detected probang mouth-swab samples for several days after inoculation. contrast, not susceptible to FMDV infection. None them showed specific...
