A 7-year-old Quarter Horse gelding was hospitalized in Ocala, Fla, because of lethargy, fever, anorexia, and swelling distal aspects the limbs. tentative diagnosis equine piroplasmosis (EP) made on basis examination a blood smear. The case reported to Florida State Veterinarian, infection with Babesia equi confirmed. subsequent investigation included quarantine testing potentially exposed horses for B caballi infections, tick surveillance, owner-agent interviews.210 25 premises were tested...
A 9-year-old, male, captive red panda ( Ailurus fulgens fulgens) in an urban zoo the United Kingdom presented with respiratory distress and weight loss. The animal was euthanatized, a postmortem examination performed. lungs were diffusely consolidated extensive mineralization. Microscopically, there obliteration of normal pulmonary architecture by sheets coalescing nodules partially mineralized fibrous tissue granulomatous inflammation centered on large numbers nematode larvae eggs. First...
Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) or CD150 can function as a receptor for the canine distemper virus (CDV) in vitro. The expression of SLAM was studied using immunohistochemistry order to evaluate presence and distribution dogs vivo. Additionally, assessed after experimental infection with CDV. In 7 control without virus, found various tissues, mostly on cells morphologically identified lymphocytes macrophages. early lesions characterized by higher numbers SLAM-expressing were...
A 11‐year‐old, female, spayed greyhound was presented with a haemorrhagic discharge from the vulva. Clinical examination, vaginoscopy and computed tomography scan showed an irregular egg‐sized mass in region of cervix uterine stump. An endoscopic grab biopsy (incisional) suggested malignant mesenchymal tumour. Following this, surgical excision cranial vagina, remnant performed. The final diagnosis haemangiosarcoma based on histological examination larger excisional specimen confirmed by...
Estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) is a poorly studied field in veterinary pathology. The development field-applicable methods needed given that animal cruelty investigations are increasing continually. We evaluated various histologic criteria equine brain, liver, and muscle tissue to aid estimation PMI horses, which central forensic suspicious death. After death, autolysis proceeds predictably, depending on environmental conditions. Currently, no field-applied exist accurately...
Intramedullary masses are a dilemma due to the limited access for nonsurgical biopsy, thus, accurate imaging characterization is crucial. Magnetic resonance findings of two confirmed canine thoracic intramedullary hemangiomas described. A capillary hemangioma was mixed intensity but predominantly T2‐hyperintense and mildly T1‐hyperintense spinal cord with strong contrast enhancement. cavernous had target‐like appearance in both T1‐weighted (T1w) T2‐weighted (T2w) images. In T2w images there...
Summary Background West Nile virus ( WNV ), a mosquito borne member of the Flaviviridae, is one most commonly diagnosed agents viral encephalitis in horses and people worldwide. Objectives A cassette markers for formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissue an archive tissues from experimental infections horse were used to investigate equine neuroimmune response meningoencephalomyelitis phenotype early infection horse. Study design Quantitative analysis using archived experimentally infected...
West Nile virus (WNV), a small, positive sense, single stranded RNA continues to encroach into new locales with emergence of viral variants. Neurological disease in the equine can be moderate severe face low undetectable loads. Physical methods enrichment may increase sensitivity detection and enhance analysis diversity, especially for deep sequencing studies. However, use these techniques is limited mainly non-neural tissues. We investigated hypothesis that elimination brain enhances...
