The herd had consumed fenugreek hay from late fall to early winter. Clinical signs included various degrees of weakness, ataxia, knuckling, walking on hocks, and recumbency. All adult cattle in the herd eventually died or were euthanized. Feed analysis did not reveal nutritional deficiencies or mycotoxin contamination. Liver mineral and vitamin status of affected animals did not indicate any consistent abnormality. The last live cow in the herd was presented to a veterinary teaching hospital for evaluation and subsequent postmortem examination. Major postmortem findings included emaciation, and sciatic nerve and spinal cord axonal degeneration. Histologic examination of the sciatic nerve showed Wallerian-like axonal degeneration, increased Schwann cell nuclei, and endoneurial fibrosis. Histologic examination of the spinal cord showed infrequent myelin sheath dilation and digestion chambers within white matter. These results are consistent with other reports of natural and experimental outbreaks of fenugreek poisoning in livestock. To our knowledge, fenugreek toxicosis has not been reported previously in Canada. We conclude that caution should be taken when feeding fenugreek hay to cattle.","PeriodicalId":17579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"329-333"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11719421/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142950762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expression of PTGES1, PTGES3, EP4, and VEGFA were serum-inducible in SCCF2 cells; VEGFA was also inducible in SCCF1 cells (p ≤ 0.05). Compared to other serum-treated cells, SCCF3 cells had the lowest VEGFA expression despite the highest HIF1A (p ≤ 0.05) expression. PGE2 (5 µg/mL and 35 µg/mL) was added to SCCF2 cells for 4 different times (30, 60, 120, 240 min). Both doses of PGE2 stimulated expression of HIF1A and CD147 at 240 min (p ≤ 0.05). PGE2 treatment stimulated cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression at 30 min, followed by suppression at 60 and 120 min and a sharp reduction in EP4 expression at 60 min (p ≤ 0.05). Treatment of SCCF2 with PGE2 and EP4 antagonist L-161,982 increased COX2 expression, and L-161,982 (alone and in combination with PGE2) stimulated EP4 expression (p ≤ 0.05). Genes for PGE2 synthase enzymes, PGE2 receptors, HIF1α and VEGFA were expressed in FOSCC cells in vitro.

Herein we aimed to utilize digital pathology and whole-slide imaging, coupled with advanced image analysis software, to enhance the efficiency of positive IHC detection in surveillance. Despite some challenges encountered during the implementation phase, the benefits of the reduced potential for human error and significant time savings for technicians and pathologists are evident. The screening of 518 slides, containing 2,884 ear notches, reached 97.4% sensitivity and 89.4% specificity compared to the gold standard of direct human assessment. The time taken for the personnel to operate the software and organize results was significantly shorter than the time needed for technicians and pathologists to manually examine the slides.

Sulfur can be ingested by an animal through feed or water, and the mineral status of the animal can affect how much sulfur is ultimately absorbed. Broiler (poultry) litter is sometimes used in cattle diets as an economical protein source, although it runs the risk of supplying too much sulfur to the bovine diet. Here we report a case in which 15 cows had neurologic signs before death. Initial testing ruled out other causes of acute death, and histologic findings confirmed a diagnosis of PEM. The sulfur concentration was ~0.70% of the total mixed ration (TMR), which is above the maximum tolerable dietary concentration of sulfur. The broiler litter contributed nearly all of the sulfur to this ration and was the cause of the PEM experienced in this herd.

Antimicrobials used to treat and prevent mastitis can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in S. aureus. We retrospectively evaluated AMR of S. aureus isolates from clinical bovine mastitis cases submitted to the Animal Health Centre in British Columbia from 2013 to May 2024. S. aureus was isolated from 15.0% of submitted bovine milk samples. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on 611 of 1,347 S. aureus isolates. No methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates were detected based on cefoxitin susceptibility test results, which is encouraging. The highest frequencies of resistance were found for penicillin (46.6%) and ampicillin (42.1%). The lowest frequencies of resistance were to ceftiofur and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (0.2% each) and cephalothin (0.3%). AMR trends over our study period were generally stable, except for penicillin and ampicillin; penicillin resistance increased from 15.2% to 71.1%, and ampicillin resistance increased from 18.2% to 70.1%. The information in our study could help guide clinicians when choosing antimicrobial treatments to treat mastitis caused by S. aureus, particularly in the province of British Columbia. Because S. aureus has a broad host range and is of importance to both human and veterinary medicine, continued monitoring to detect the emergence of resistance is warranted.","PeriodicalId":17579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"371-374"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11672364/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142895782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thoracic ultrasonography revealed severe bilateral pleural effusion, and a large area of lung consolidation. After sampling of both hemithoraces, 66 L of turbid exudate were drained. Based on these findings, a tentative diagnosis of septic pleuritis was made, and the horse was immediately started on a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, a NSAID, an anticoagulant, and intravenous fluids. Despite intensive care, the clinical parameters deteriorated, and the horse was euthanized 6 d later. Cytology confirmed septic pleuritis, with short chains or groups of coccoid bacteria.

Nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) is the nasal mucosal immune system that protects against various pathogens; however, reports on its pathology are limited. We compared the pathologic impact of BRDC-related viruses on the NALT and lungs of 10 pneumonic and 3 negative control Japanese black (JB) calves. Three bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) persistently infected Holstein calves were examined as positive control; all 3 calves had BVDV in situ hybridization (ISH)-positive signals in NALT follicular macrophages and lymphocytes, suggesting viral replication in these cells. NALT and lungs of pneumonic JB calves had weak-positive BVDV results in PCR and negative results in ISH, indicating late-stage transient BVDV infection. The finding of BVDV in unvaccinated pneumonic JB calves confirmed the involvement of a BVDV field strain. PCR detection of bovine coronavirus (BCoV) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) in NALT along with ISH BCoV-positive signals in NALT epithelial cells confirms infection by those viruses. Pneumonic JB calves had nasopharyngitis and pneumonia, with the same bacteria present in nasopharyngeal swabs and lungs, indicating that, in these animals, the bacteria proliferating in the nasopharynx probably migrated to the lungs via inhalation. BVDV transient infection in the NALT may induce local immunosuppression; BCoV and BRSV infections are thought to damage epithelial cells, facilitating bacterial infection of the NALT and lungs.

We retrospectively evaluated data from 133 birds diagnosed with aspergillosis at the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study from 2001-2023 to assess diversity and relative frequency across avian taxa, gross and histologic lesion patterns, and comorbidities. Of 10 taxonomic orders represented, Charadriiformes (shorebirds; n = 35) and Accipitriformes (raptors; n = 32) were most common. Among them, the laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla; n = 20) and bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus; n = 14) were infected most commonly. Gross lesions were most frequent in lung (n = 80), air sac (n = 71), or celomic cavity lining (n = 42). Four distinct gross lesion patterns were identified: 1) tan caseous plaques (n = 106), 2) hollow masses lined with mold (n = 26), 3) red pulmonary nodules (n = 15), and 4) necrotic brown plaques (n = 3). Histologically, fungal hyphae were most common in lung (n = 107) and air sac (n = 49). Comorbidities were diagnosed in 67 birds with a spectrum of viral (n = 19), bacterial (n = 11), parasitic (n = 6), other fungal (n = 4), and non-infectious (n = 50) causes.
