Six mongrel dogs were experimentally injected I/M with gentamicin by 20 mg/kg BW daily till the appearance of renal failure signs. Blood samples were collected before and after induction (on day 9 and day 12). Hematological results revealed a non-significant decrease in hemoglobin and RBC’s, a significant decrease in hematocrit values in both days, a non-significant increase in TLC at day 12 but a non-significant decrease at day 9, a significant increase in non-segmented neutrophil at day 9 but non-significant decrease at day 12, non-significant decrease in lymphocyte at day 9 but non-significant increase at day 12, a significant increase in monocyte at day 9 but non-significant decrease at day 12. Biochemical results revealed significant increase in urea and creatinine at day 12, non-significant increase at day 9. Urinalysis results indicated an increase in leukocyte, albumin, glucose, pus cells and RBCs. Urine culture revealed isolates of E.coli , Proteus and Staphylococcus bacteria. Ultrasonographic results showed increased echogenicity of renal cortex with loss of corticomedullary junction at day 9. At day 12 ultrasonographic results revealed intensive hyper-echogenicity of renal cortex, increased echogenicity of the right renal cortex as compared with spleen, and the renal cortex of right kidney appeared more hyperechoic when compared with liver. Histopathological examination of kidneys showed different degenerative changes, hemorrhages, nephritis, and other organs revealed degeneration, inflammation and hemorrhages. The findings indicted that despite the therapeutic effect of gentamicin in treating the kidney infection, it may have an adverse effect on kidneys and other organs especially with massive doses.","PeriodicalId":12112,"journal":{"name":"Exploratory Animal and Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44158779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection and pathotyping of Newcastle disease virus associated with field infection are highly crucial. In vivo pathogenicity assaying is sensitive and specific pathotyping tool used for detection and identification of NDV used until the recent past. Genome based sequence analysis yields promising results in virulence determination. Keeping the above facts, the present study was designed to compare the efficacy of conventional and molecular assays in NDV virulence determination. In this study twelve NDV isolates (Isolate numbers 463, 464, 475, 476, 122-17C, 122-17D, 122-17E, 128-17A, 128-17D, 137, 139, 141) available in the Department of Veterinary Microbiology, Madras Veterinary College (MVC), Chennai was subjected for differentiation of virulent and avirulent strains using mean death time (MDT) in specific pathogen-free (SPF) embryonated eggs and TaqMan minor groove binding (MGB) probe real-time PCR assay. Pathotyping based on the MDT revealed two NDV isolates (isolate no. 476 and 128-17D) as velogenic strains and the remaining ten NDV isolates as lentogenic strains. Pathotyping based on TaqMan MGB probe real-time PCR assay revealed six NDV isolates (476, 128-17D, 463, 464, 475, 137) as velogenic/mesogenic strains and remaining six NDV isolates (122-17C, 122-17D, 122-17E 128-17A, 139, 141) as lentogenic strains. Using a TaqMan MGB probe real-time PCR assay, four NDV isolates (463, 464, 475, 137) which were MDT pathotyped as lentogenic strains were re-pathotyped as velogenic/mesogenic strains, which indicates the greater sensitivity of TaqMan MGB probe real-time PCR assay in pathotyping of NDV over conventional MDT.","PeriodicalId":12112,"journal":{"name":"Exploratory Animal and Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45095658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 60 sheep were chosen for this study and divided equally into four groups. Sheep were tested with closantel (@10mg/kg body weight) and two derivatives of macrocyclic lactone, moxidectin and doramectin (@0.2mg/kg body weight) while the control group did not receive any treatment. Sheep were naturally infected with gastro-intestinal nematodes and having EPG of faeces more than 150 counts before treatment were selected. Rectal faecal samples were collected on zero (pre-treatment) and 14th day (post-treatment) from animals of all groups and EPG of faeces were carried out by modified McMaster technique. In FECRT, reduction of faecal egg count (FEC) of less than 95%, indicate anthelmintic resistance (AR) in one or more nematode genera for the given anthelmintic. Per cent of FEC on 14 th day revealed that closantel, moxidectin and doramectin had 64%, 69% and 76% efficacy, respectively.

A total of 434 random samples comprising of serum (n=273), pooled postmortem tissues (n=109) and rectal, vaginal and nasal swabs (n=52) and were collected from PCV2 suspected and healthy swine populations of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Puducherry states in India during 2019 to 2021 were screened for PCV2 by specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Of 434 samples screened, 12.2% (n=53) showed positivity to PCV2 genome. Statistical analysis of molecular prevalence of PCV2 within breed, age, sex and vaccination status revealed no significant (p>0.05) difference but there was a significant (p<0.05) difference in the prevalence of PCV2 among healthy and suspected swine populations. Suspected pigs had significantly higher prevalence of PCV2 in comparison to healthy. ELISA based PCV2 antibody screening in 176 non-vaccinated serum samples revealed sero-positivity of 44.8% (n=79). The molecular and seroprevalence of PCV2 is alarming in southern states of India, which necessitates the need for genotypic characterization and phylogenetic analysis and development of candidate vaccine for implementation of suitable prevention and control measures.","PeriodicalId":12112,"journal":{"name":"Exploratory Animal and Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45705481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
