Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health concern with profound implications for human, animal, and environmental health. Marine ecosystems are emerging as reservoirs of resistant bacteria due to contamination from anthropogenic activities. This study aimed investigate fluoroquinolone-resistant multidrug-resistant in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Methods: Cloacal swabs were collected 28 at rescue center southern Italy. Swabs cultured nutrient...
Data on reptile analgesia are scarce for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids almost completely lacking in sea turtles, even though emergencies requiring correct pain management very frequent their rehabilitative medicine; therefore, dosage regimens extrapolated from other species involve the risk of clinical failure damage to animals. We describe pharmacokinetic behavior meloxicam loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). chose because its selective anti-cyclooxygenase-2...
The disposition kinetics of enrofloxacin at a single dose 5 mg/kg body weight were determined in clinically healthy captive-reared estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) after intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), and oral (p.o.) administration. Enrofloxacin plasma concentrations by diode array detection-high-performance liquid chromatography (limit detection/limit quantitation: 0.05 microg/ml). Data subjected to noncompartmental analysis. integrated pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic...
The disposition kinetics of marbofloxacin at a single dose 2 mg/kg bodyweight were determined in crossover trial with five clinically healthy loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) after i.v. and i.m. administration. Marbofloxacin plasma concentrations by high-performance liquid chromatography (LOD/LOQ 0.05 µg/ml). Data subjected to noncompartmental analysis. integrated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic variables showed that optimal area under the curve (AUC0–24 h): minimal inhibitory...
The loggerhead Caretta caretta is the most common sea turtle in Mediterranean. Currently, turtles are considered endangered, mainly due to impact of human activities. Among traumatic lesions, those involving skull, if complicated by brain exposure, often life-threatening. In these cases, death could be outcome direct trauma cerebral tissue or secondary meningoencephalitis. This uncontrolled study aims evaluate use a plant-derived dressing (1 Primary Wound Dressing®) 3 with severe lesions...
Summary The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic behaviourof imidocarb in horses following a single i.m. injection at dose commonly administered treat Babesia caballi infections or prevent babesiosis. Eight were injected with 2.4 mg dipropionate/kg bwt and blood, faecal, urine milk samples collected. For determination, high‐performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) used afterweak cation‐exchange solid phase, liquid‐liquid, extraction procedures. Twelve hours...
Several species of nematodes included in the superfamily Metastrongyloidea are recognized agents parasitic infections felines. Aelurostrongylus abstrusus is most prevalent affecting respiratory system domestic cats. The route infection cats supposed to be through ingestion gastropod intermediate or paratenic hosts. However, because gastropods not preferred preys cats, rodents were suggested play an important role as hosts biological cycle A. and epidemiology aelurostrongylosis.Two studies...

In avian medicine, hematologic and biochemical laboratory investigations are still in their infancy, because of the difficulty involved collecting data. This has led to a lack reference values nonstandardized approach specimens obtained critical conditions. The Eurasian Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is one most common raptors Italy, yet little known about physiologic blood parameters this species. Serum biochemistry electrophoretic were performed 40 healthy Buzzards different Italian wildlife rescue...
Chemical immobilization of free-ranging and captive wildlife is often required in many clinical situations. In this trial, tiletamine-zolazepam was combined with the alpha2-agonist, detomidine, order to use least amount anesthetic drug possible achieve a rapid immobilization; ensure safety for animals operators; be easily reversible specific antagonists fast recovery. Twelve Asiatic black bears were anesthetized procedures, including examination blood sample collection, electrocardiographic...
Abstract Fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs are currently used in reptilian medicine because of their broad spectrum activity including the most frequent pathogens these species. The disposition kinetics marbofloxacin (MBX) at a single dose 2 mg/kg were determined healthy red‐eared sliders after intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administration. influence renal portal system on bioavailability drug was investigated by using forelimb hindlimb as IM injection sites. Apparent volume...
The goal of this study was to establish routine reference intervals (RI) for common laboratory tests the European badger (Meles meles). Blood samples were collected from 13 female and 11 male adult badgers in a wildlife rehabilitation facility used standard hematology biochemistry analyses. established 95% RI (2.5th–97.5th percentile) determined by either parametric (normally distributed data) or robust (nonnormal statistical methods showed lower range variability compared with those...

Avian malaria is a re-emerging threat to avian species worldwide. It sustained by several protozoan belonging the genus Plasmodium, mainly Plasmodium relictum. The even wider diffusion of disease, probably because increase in areas covered their mosquito vectors, may pose new risks for lacking natural resistance (especially those from artic or sub-artic environments) hosted structures like zoos and wildlife rescue centers. With that premise, this study describes efficacy safety therapeutic...
