These parasites can infect both animals and humans, leading to significant health issues. The impact of ectoparasites extends beyond health, as they can also reduce the productivity of livestock. Moreover, many ectoparasite species act as vectors for bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens, thereby posing significant risks to human and animal health. Historically, agents such as organochlorides, organophosphates, carbamates, insect growth regulators, neonicotinoids, spinosad, fipronil, avermectins, isoxazolines, and synthetic pyrethroids have been extensively used to treat and prevent ectoparasitic infestations. However, the extensive use of these chemicals has resulted in the development of resistance among many target species, potentially reducing the effectiveness of these treatments. This article aims to survey the current status of resistance in ectoparasites to active pharmaceutical ingredients used in veterinary medicine. It also seeks to update the understanding of resistance mechanisms and explore measures that can be implemented to prevent the development of resistance.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129845199","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}

During domestication, dogs have undergone behavioral changes to establish closer bonds with humans. However, certain dogs face challenges in fully adapting to their new environment, leading to behavioral disorders such as aggression. One of the most prevalent and dangerous behavioral problems in dogs is aggression, which poses risks to both humans and the dogs themselves, sometimes resulting in euthanasia. Canine aggression can arise from various medical and non-medical factors, including physical problems, endocrine system disorders, infectious diseases, central nervous system diseases, hereditary conditions, as well as racial or personal differences. Evaluating aggression based solely on species, breed, and sex characteristics is insufficient. Accurate diagnosis of aggressive behavior requires integrating findings from diverse diagnostic methods, including serum biochemistry, hormone analysis, urinalysis, electroencephalography, radiography, magnetic resonance tests, and behavioral assessments. However, to gain a comprehensive understanding of canine aggression, it is essential to consider the underlying pathophysiological processes and neurobiology. The management of aggressive behavior in dogs necessitates the implementation of diverse treatment strategies aimed at preventing the manifestation of undesirable behaviors. Within the realm of medical interventions, neutering and pharmacotherapy have emerged as prominent approaches. Neutering has shown effectiveness in mitigating aggression among dogs exhibiting aggressive tendencies. On the other hand, pharmacotherapy involves the utilization of complementary and suppressive pharmacological agents that target primary and intermediate components within the mechanisms underlying aggression. These components encompass neurotransmitter/neuromodulator substances, peptides, enzymes, and hormones, all of which contribute to the pathophysiological processes of aggression. Through the modulation of these factors, pharmacotherapy seeks to offer a comprehensive treatment approach for addressing aggressive behavior in dogs. This review aims to investigate the neurobiological basis of aggression in dogs, considering the underlying pathophysiological processes and the role of neurotransmitter/neuromodulator substances, neuropeptides, peptides, enzyme systems, and hormones. Accurate diagnosis and understanding of canine aggression are crucial for the development of effective medical and alternative treatment methods.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130263035","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}

Akyazi","doi":"10.30704/http-www-jivs-net.1278513","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30704/http-www-jivs-net.1278513","url":null,"abstract":"Cats can naturally obtain their water requirements on the water content of their food. The wild cats usually do not need to drink water, because their prey (e.g., birds, small rodents, insects) contains about 70-75% body water. The same situation is applied for domestic cats too, which eat canned wet food that contains high level of water. However, if the water level of the diet is less than 60%, cats need additional drinking water. A mature cat must consume 60ml/kg/day water to maintain its body functions without any problem. Otherwise cats will be easily dehydrated and chronic dehydration can lead some health problems such as bladder and renal diseases and circulatory problems. Any practical method that could increase cats water consumption, would have a reducing effect on the before mentioned diseases. \u0000Regarding the water consumption, the taste of water has been found as effective as the other physiological stimulants such as mouth dryness, plasma osmolality and blood volume. Temperature is considered to be very important for the taste perception of animals. The preference for the water temperature varies among the animal species. \u0000So we hypothesized that, cooling the drinking water can encourage cats to drink more water and we aimed to investigate the effect of the water temperature on water consumption of cats. \u0000This research has conducted with 8 domestic, mature and healthy pet cats (Felis domesticus) that live indoor. We measured the water consumption of cats for two weeks. During the first week, temperature of water has not been intervened, and the cats' normal water consumption were measured. On the 1st day, 500 ml water, measured with graduated cylinder, was provided in a standard water bowl. After 24 hours, the remained water has been measured and noted. After each measurement, cat owners refreshed the drinking water. In the 2nd week, we started to add four ice cubes to the water bowl, three times in a day. First week, cat’s average normal water consumption has found 142,26±8,09 ml/kg/day.

The study aimed at the establishment of seroprevalence of Pasteurellosis in some selected Districts of camel rearing in the Benadir Region. It was a cross-sectional study, where the study population was purposively chosen to consist of animals taken within three sub-Districts of Benadir Region, namely Sub-District (Daynile Township), Sub-District (Yaaqshid) Sub-District (kaxda). This was because they normally handle many camels in a day, thus making it easy for the investigator to access the required number conveniently; it was also assumed that data collected from these for-slaughter camels was representative of the situation in the sub-District/county. A total of one hundred and sixty camels were tested using four serological tests: Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT),) and Complex Fixation Test (CFT). The serological tests were purposively chosen to increase the chances of picking positive cases and also to compare their sensitivities, with respect to camel serum, since they were originally meant for use on bovine serum. Blood samples (15 ml) were collected for serum harvesting from the jugular veins of the animals as they were waiting to be examined. Rose Bengal plate test and CFT were run at a laboratory within the department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Horsed, 21 October campus; serum samples having been transported in a cool box. On average, out of an overall total of 300 serum samples tested, 180 samples were selected as sample procedures and were given eleven (11) positive results, amounting to a prevalence of 6.67%. For the three Districts, respective prevalence (averaged from the two (2) serological tests run) were: 7% (3/50) for Yaqshiid; 8% (3/60) for Deyniile, and 10% (3/70) for Kaxda. When sensitivities of the two (2) serological tests were compared, there was no significant difference between them, with respect to the picking of positive cases (p=0.05), The study has demonstrated presence of Pasterolosis in camels in the Benadir Region and the authors are, recommending the usage of RBPT and CFT as a screening test since they are cheap, quick, and easy to carry-out.
