Brucella abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis and B. canis have been detected in humans as causative agents of this zoonotic infection. The incidence of brucellosis varies greatly with several factors such as socio-economic status, association with livestock, occupation and food safety practices. Brucellosis is an endemic disease in Sri Lanka and only a few cases have been reported in humans in recent years. Human brucellosis is a common disease in the Mediterranean region , Middle East, Asia, South and Central America and Africa. The organism infects multiple hosts. Multiple routes of infection have been described for humans, the oral route being the most common. The common clinical signs in humans are undulant fever, fatigue, headache, chills and myalgia. Other signs and symptoms such as arthralgia, orchitis/epididymitis, acute renal failure, endocarditis, splenic abscess, spondylitis, arthritis, encephalitis hepatitis, osteoarticular manifestations, meningitis, and respiratory and cardiac complications also had been reported. Bacteriological culture, serology and nucleic acid amplification assays have been used as the basic diagnostic methods of brucellosis. The prevention strategy of human brucellosis recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) mainly consists of creating public awareness, improving hygienic practices in livestock farms and slaughterhouses, promoting the consumption of pasteurized milk, consumption of cooked meat, adhering to hygienic practices during laboratory handling of the organism and proper handling of companion animals. The recommended prevention and control methods of brucellosis in animals include culling of infected animals, vaccination and restriction of the movement of serologically positive animals. In conclusion, further emphasis must be given to improving diagnostic testing and raising awareness of brucellosis and its zoonotic implications among humans.","PeriodicalId":155613,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Veterinary Journal","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123397826","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}

Ultrasonographic examinations were performed on 40 bitches using an ultrasound scanner (MyLab30vet, Esaote, Genoa, Italy) with a linear-array transducer (Esaote LA-522, Esaote, Genoa, Italy). According to the results, the cervix was a mild to moderate hyperechoic cylindrical structure lined by hyperechoic serosal margin in anoestrous bitches. The mean diameter of the cervix in anoestrus was 0.93 ± 0.37 cm (range, 0.59 - 1.81 cm), while the cervical canal could not be clearly demarcated by ultrasonography. However, in bitches in oestrus, the mean diameter of the cervix was 1.32 ± 0.11 cm (range, 1.2 - 1.45 cm). The cervical canal was visible as a hypoechoic irregular passage with the mean diameter of 1.5 ± 0.7 mm (range, 1.2 - 2.7 mm). In pregnant bitches, the mean diameter of the cervix was 1.57 ± 0.47 cm (range, 0.82 - 2.18 cm). The cervical canal of pregnant bitches was occluded with the cervical mucus plug which was heterogeneous echogenicity. The diameter of the cervix of pregnant bitches was signiﬁcantly higher than that of bitches in anoestrus (P=0.001). Further, it was found that the diameter of the cervix increased when the pregnancy advanced. In conclusion, this study evaluated the morphological characteristics of the cervix in bitches during anoestrus, oestrus, and pregnancy. The ﬁndings of this study can be used as useful information to evaluate the cervix of bitches in clinical reproductive practice.","PeriodicalId":155613,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Veterinary Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125288540","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}

This condition has not been reported in Sri Lanka probably due to unfamiliarity with it and lack of diagnostic facilities. This communication discusses the clinical signs, radiographic and ultrasonographic ﬁndings, and treatment of pyloric stenosis in a one-year old female Cocker Spaniel presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Peradeniya. The patient developed projectile vomiting and distended, gas ﬁlled abdomen after meals as clinical signs. Survey radiographic ﬁndings included the 'gravel sign' in the stomach. In ultrasonography, thickened pylorus was observed. Contrast radiographs after oral administration of barium sulphate suspension showed a delay of gastric emptying. All the above ﬁndings suggested that the patient had pyloric stenosis. Complete blood count and serum biochemistry demonstrated no abnormalities. Surgical intervention was performed as treatment, using Fredet-Ramstedt pyloromyotomy together with Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty to clear the obstruction in the pyloric canal. Since there were no post-surgical complications, patient was discharged in 4 days following the surgery. The prognosis was satisfactory and the animal has been healthy after the surgery. The pyloric stenosis observed in this case could be congenital, with hypertrophy and subsequent stenosis gradually worsening over time.","PeriodicalId":155613,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Veterinary Journal","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129207764","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}

Despite vaccination, the outbreaks of canine parvovirus infection occur in many countries including Sri Lanka. Interference caused by maternally derived antibodies (MDA) is a main reason for vaccination failure. Present study assessed the level of CPV speciﬁc MDA in puppies prior to vaccination, the eﬀect of MDA on the eﬃcacy of diﬀerent preparations of CPV vaccines and, evaluated the immunogenicity of selected CPV vaccines available commercially. Analysis of MDA in puppies born to vaccinated or unvaccinated mothers using commercially available point of care ELISA based test revealed the presence of protective levels of MDA titres at 8 weeks of age which can aﬀect the immunogenicity of the vaccines containing inactivated virus or low viral titre (1000 HAU). The vaccines containing CCID 50 of ≥103-5 were able to induce antibody titres higher than protective level. Analysis of CPV-2 speciﬁc antibody titres, two weeks after completing the primary CPV vaccination (16-18 weeks of age) revealed that the dogs who received the vaccines containing CPV-2 or CPV-2b strain with >105 CCID 50 induced signiﬁcantly high levels of mean antibody titre (vaccine “B”- p value = 0.004; vaccine “D” - p value = 0.022; vaccine “F”- p value = 0.032) when compared to the vaccine containing 1000 HAU. In conclusion, it was evident that the interference of MDA on CPV vaccines could be circumvented by using a live attenuated CPV vaccine having a high viral dose of CPV. Low viral dose vaccines and inactivated vaccines are not suitable for primary vaccination as those could be interfered by maternal immunity.","PeriodicalId":155613,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Veterinary Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131831094","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}

It is colonized in over 90% of healthy dogs and is the most common cause of dermatological infection, otitis externa and second most common cause of urinary tract infection. S. pseudintermedius is an opportunistic pathogen and host associated factors may play a big role on pathogenesis of an infection than virulence genes found in its bacterial genome. Number of molecular characterization techniques have been optimized for outbreak investigation, and understanding the bacterial infection and diversity of individual strains in a population would be beneficial to determine the source of infection and control strategies. Pathogenesis has not been fully investigated in S. pseudintermedius although it was extensively investigated in Staphylococcus aureus. Antimicrobial resistance is emerging in S. pseudintermedius and resistance was reported for the common drugs which are used in companion animal medicine. Methicillin resistance emerged in 1990 in Europe and the organism had been reported all over the world. Two epidemic clones of methicillin resistant S. pseudintermedius were identified as ST 71 and ST 68, European and North American epidemic clones, respectively. Multi drug resistance was reported both in methicillin resistant and methicillin susceptible S. pseudintermedius in dogs. S. pseudintermedius causes secondary infection in humans, and is often underreported or misdiagnosed as S. aureus in diagnostic laboratories. The organism is commonly found in dog bite wounds. Immunocompromised patients and people who suffer metabolic diseases are more susceptible for S. pseudintermedius when they have close contact with the canine host.","PeriodicalId":155613,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Veterinary Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115614085","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}
