Abstract A 7‐year‐old female okapi ( Okapia johnstoni ) was treated for 17 days on a clinical suspicion of myopathy. Intensive care initiated, including anti‐inflammatory and analgesic drugs, preventive antibiotic therapy, vitamins, anti‐acidosis anti‐colic treatments, aggressive fluid forced feeding parenteral nutrition, as well laser regular positional changes muscle relaxants. Assisted lifting the performed to allow physiotherapy. Despite improvement in blood muscular parameters,...
Aspergillosis is pervasive in bird populations, especially those under human care. Its management can be critically impacted by exposure to high levels of conidia and resistance azole drugs. The fungal contamination the environment a Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti) group, housed French zoological park next numerous large crop fields, was assessed through three serial sessions surface sampling nests, 2018-20: all isolates were counted characterized sequencing. When identified as...
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a ciconiiform species widely represented in zoological institutions. Plasma protein electrophoresis used avian patients for assessment of inflammatory conditions, but reference intervals this testing modality are lacking the stork. two main electrophoretic methods agarose gel (AGE) and capillary zone (CZE). This study assessed fresh plasma samples healthy adult storks (n = 30). Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate agreement between AGE CZE....
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused mainly by Aspergillus fumigatus that often results in respiratory disease birds. major cause of morbidity and mortality captive-bred penguin species. Currently, there no registered vaccine to prevent aspergillosis. Recent research demonstrated oral administration gram-negative bacteria expressing high levels galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal) modulates anti-α-Gal immunity protects turkeys from clinical aspergillosis experimental A. infection. The...
The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is classified as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List Threatened Species. However, diseases affecting this species across zoo populations are not well documented. primary objective retrospective study was to identify common and significant causes morbidity mortality in captive-bred leopards from European, Asian, Australian institutions. Medical records 44 zoological parks that held 271 1934 2017 were reviewed. Major...
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in animal health and homeostasis, particularly endangered species conservation. This study investigated the fecal composition of European captive-bred African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) housed French zoos, compared it with wild elephants. Fecal samples were collected processed for DNA extraction amplicon sequencing 16S rRNA gene. analysis α β diversity revealed significant effects factors such as diet, daily activity, institution on...
Abstract This report describes the use of an ultrapotent, opioid‐free anaesthesia with infusion butorphanol, ketamine and guaifenesin in two captive adult male greater one‐horned rhinoceros ( Rhinoceros unicornis ). Animals were premedicated intramuscularly azaperone (0.05 mg/kg), butorphanol tartrate 0.02 mg/kg, respectively) α2‐agonist (detomidine mg/kg medetomidine 0.01 respectively). Once sternolaterally recumbent, induced intravenous (0.02 0.05 midazolam (7.0 8.0 μg/kg, Intravenous...
Plasma electrophoresis is an ancillary diagnostic tool in avian medicine, with agarose gel (AGE) and capillary zone (CZE) being the most common techniques. Frozen samples can be used for quantitative studies or comparative purposes, but stability of plasma proteins under freezing poorly described. To evaluate influence on electrophoretograms white storks (Ciconia ciconia), heparin blood was sampled from 30 individuals during annual health examinations. were obtained after centrifugation...
Abstract Poster session 3, September 23, 2022, 12:30 PM - 1:30 Objectives Aspergillosis is an opportunistic fungal infection due to Aspergillus spp., and primarily A. fumigatus. The disease pervasive in avian populations, especially those under managed care. incidence the management of aspergillosis can be critically impacted by exposure high levels spores via environmental contamination strains resistant azole drugs. present study aimed at assessing impact on clinical penguins human ZooParc...
