Abstract Background Abortion is a major source of economic losses in cattle breeding. occurs due to wide range causes, but infections are the most frequently diagnosed. However, establishing an aetiological diagnosis remains challenging large variety bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and fungi that have been associated with abortion cattle. Economic restraints limit diagnostic methods available for routine diagnostics, decomposition conceptus or lack proper fetal and/or maternal samples further...
Haemotropic mycoplasmas (or haemoplasmas) are the causative agents of infectious anaemia in many mammalian species. They were previously known as Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon The development sensitive, specific PCR assays has expanded our knowledge these is method choice to diagnose differentiate haemoplasma infections. In felids, Mycoplasma haemofelis, 'Candidatus haemominutum' turicensis' have been described. vary strongly their pathogenic potential co-factors may influence disease...
"Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis" infects felids. The pathogenesis of M. chronic infection is poorly understood. goals the present study were to (1) induce reactivation in carrier cats by attempted immunosuppression, (2) identify potential tissue sequestration using real-time TaqMan® PCR and (3) monitor humoral immune response DnaK enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ten specified pathogen-free that had ostensibly recovered from experimental used: five (group 1) received high dose...
Ptaquiloside is a natural toxin present in bracken ferns (Pteridium sp.). Cattle ingesting may develop bladder tumours and excrete genotoxins meat milk. However, the fate of ptaquiloside cattle link between carcinogenesis unresolved. Here, we toxicokinetic profile plasma urine after intravenous administration oral bracken. Administered intravenously ptaquiloside, revealed volume distribution 1.3 L kg-1 with mean residence-time 4 hours. A large fraction was converted to non-toxic pterosin B...
ABSTRACT In felids, three hemotropic mycoplasma species (hemoplasmas) have been described: Mycoplasma haemofelis , “ Candidatus haemominutum,” and turicensis.” particular, M. may cause severe, potentially life-threatening hemolytic anemia. No routine serological assays for feline hemoplasma infections are available. Thus, the goal of our project was to identify characterize an antigen (DnaK) that subsequently could be applied as a recombinant in assay. The gene sequence this protein...
Abortion in cattle causes significant economic losses for farmers worldwide. The diversity of abortifacients makes abortion diagnostics a complex and challenging discipline that additionally is restrained by time economy. Microbial culture has traditionally been an important method the identification bacterial mycotic abortifacients. However, it comes with inherent bias favoring easy-to-culture species, e.g., those do not require cell culture, pre-enrichment, variety selective growth media,...
At least three haemotropic mycoplasmas have been recognized in cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), 'Candidatus haemominutum' (CMhm) and M. turicensis' (CMt). The latter was originally identified a Swiss pet cat with haemolytic anaemia shown to be prevalent domestic cats wild felids worldwide using molecular methods. So far, there has no confirmatory morphological evidence of the existence CMt presumably due low blood loads during infection while CMhm only characterized by light microscopy...
Campylobacter infection is a leading cause of ovine abortion worldwide. fetus and C. jejuni are the major species involved. We report herein on storms in 4 Danish sheep flocks. Initially, no pathogenic bacteria were isolated from placental fetal tissues aerobic selective media despite presence severe suppurative necrotizing placentitis with numerous located intracellularly trophoblasts. Fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) was then applied material 13 cases; species-specific...
