Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic drug that has been used clinically for the last two decades to treat moderate moderately severe pain in humans. The present study investigated tramadol administration horses by intravenous, intramuscular, oral as immediate‐release and sustained‐release dosage‐form routes. Seven were four‐way crossover design which racemic was administered at 2 mg/kg each route of administration. Altogether, 23 blood samples collected between 0 2880 min. concentration...
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major human pathogen. Genetically related viruses in animals suggest zoonotic origin of HCV. closest relative HCV found horses (termed equine hepacivirus [EqHV]). However, low EqHV genetic diversity implies relatively recent acquisition by horses, making derivation from unlikely. To unravel the evolutionary history within equid sister species, we analyzed 829 donkeys and 53 mules sampled nine European, Asian, African, American countries molecular serologic...
There is a consensus in the veterinary literature that Parascaris equorum (ascarid) impaction carries poor prognosis. Hence surgery often delayed and foals are subjected to euthanasia after diagnosis of ascarid established. Our clinical impression was better prognosis than previously reported.Our expectation manually evacuating into caecum, thus refraining from opening small intestine, would improve for survival horses with impaction. The aim this study examine medical records treated...
With the rapid global spread of West Nile virus (WNV) and endemic state it has acquired in new geographical areas, we hereby bring a thorough serological investigation WNV horses longstanding region, such as Israel. This study evaluates environmental demographic risk factors for infection suggests possible associated with transition from to epidemic state. seroprevalence Israel was determined throughout period more than decade, before (1997) after (2002 2013) massive fever outbreak humans...
An interrupted time-series study design was implemented to evaluate the impact of antibiotic stewardship interventions on prescribing among veterinarians. A total 41 veterinarians were enrolled in Canada and Israel their data between 2019 2021 obtained. As an intervention, periodically received three feedback reports comprising participants’ guidelines. change level trend after administration intervention compared using a multi-level generalized linear mixed-effect negative-binomial model....
Ticks are important ectoparasites of horses that can affect animal welfare and vector several infectious, including zoonotic, diseases. In order to investigate the species distribution, epidemiology seasonal dynamics ticks infesting in Israel, 3267 were collected from 396 24 farms across country July 2014 June 2015.Ticks found on 50% 25% horses, with Hyalomma being most prevalent genus (70% ticks). Pasture was prominent risk factor for tick infestation (99% ticks, P < 0.001), is represented...
Abstract Background Infections with extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing Enterobacterales (ESBL‐PE) contribute to morbidity and mortality in human neonates. In foals, data are scarce. Objectives Determine the association between ESBL‐PE gastrointestinal colonization on hospital admission infections hospitalized Animals Sixty‐seven foals. Methods Prospective study of foals admitted a veterinary hospital. Foals were screened for infections. Risk factors clinical outcomes analyzed....
Between August and October 2000, 76 horses were reported by veterinary practitioners as having signs of a neurological disorder, varying from an involvement the spinal cord alone to entire central nervous system; 15 died or euthanased result their grave prognosis secondary complications. At same time, outbreak West Nile virus infection affected people birds, principally domestic geese. was isolated four with encephalomyelitis five other seroconverted, indicating that probable cause in...
Extended spectrum beta-lactamases and AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL/AmpC-E) have become a great concern in both human veterinary medicine. One setting which this risk could be particularly prominent is petting zoos, humans, especially children, directly indirectly interact with the animals. Yet, while zoonotic transmission of various has been reported previously reports on ESBL/AmpC-E shedding currently lacking, despite high potential risk. To fill knowledge gap, we conducted...
The variations with breed, gender, age and coat colour in the prevalence of Culicoides hypersensitivity were studied 408 horses on 18 farms Israel. Data gathered by means questionnaires diagnoses confirmed direct physical examinations. was 28 per cent. disease rare more than 800 m above sea level but prevalent at lower altitudes. most important factors affecting farm, breed age, gender not significantly correlated its prevalence.
ABSTRACT The recent outbreaks of cattle botulism in vaccinated Israeli dairy prompted us to determine vaccine efficacy and reasons for failure. Analysis clinical signs, feeding practice, vaccination history, epidemic curves enabled define a study population two outbreaks, where high doses Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin type D (BoNT/D) were evenly consumed by the affected animal groups. Attack rates among unvaccinated 6- 24-month-old heifers 96% (55/57) 85% (53/62). attack parity 1, 2, ≥3...
West Nile virus (WNV) epidemiological situation in Israel and Palestine, due to their unique location, draws attention following the global spread of fever (WNF). Although much information is available from on clinical cases prevalence WNV, are rarely reported not known. The objectives this study were determine WNV seroprevalence various domestic animals Palestine reevaluate current seroprevalence, force infection, risk factors for exposure horses Israel. Sera samples collected 717 (460...
A cross-sectional investigation was done on the seroprevalence of Leishmania infantum and Toxoplasma gondii infection among apparently healthy horses in Israel. This survey included 383 distributed 22 farms throughout Israel during years 2011-2013. Serum samples were tested for presence immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies using direct agglutination test (DAT) specific to by modified (MAT) IgG T. gondii. Low seroprevalences detected both L. horse population Israel; 338 tested, 6 (1.4%) found be...
Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease of equids, caused by the two haemoprotozoal parasites: Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. Nigeria constitutes major crossroads animal transport in West Africa may serve as factor EP dissemination region. The study aim was to characterize parasites donkeys horses northern using molecular approach. Blood collected from 57 47 horses. infection detected characterized polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Twenty five (43.8%) were infected with T....
