This paper reports the clinical and pathological phenotype of a case of CD in a 5-months-old Holstein calf. Retarded growth, chronic, intermittent diarrhea, stomatitis, hypocholesterolemia and low blood triglycerides concentrations were the most important clinical and ancillary findings. Histopathologically, inflammation of the digestive organs was the most evident sign. Blood from the patient, the dam, sister1, sister2 and semen of the sire were tested for APOB mutation: the calf resulted homozygous, whereas the dam and the sire resulted heterozygous carriers. Both sisters were APOB mutation free. Cholesterol deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic diarrhea and failure to thrive in Holstein calves.","PeriodicalId":19845,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Veterinary Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48376590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between 2012 and 2015, 55 samples from one layer flock from UAE, three breeder flocks from SAU and one broiler flock from SL were screened for MG using a pr- mgc 2 PCR; the positive samples were characterized by the gene-targeted sequencing (GTS) analysis. BLAST comparisons, followed by phylogenetic analysis, was carried out to compare the obtained sequences against published vaccine and field strain sequences. Fifty of the fifty-five (91%) examined samples, were MG positive by pr- mgc 2 PCR. The sequences detected in the samples from ts-11 vaccinated breeders from SAU showed 100% identity with the ts-11 vaccine sequences. The sequences detected in the samples from layers in UAE, were attributed to field strains, clustering together with Israeli MG strains. The sequences obtained from the samples from Sri Lanka broilers clustered separately from USA, Israeli, Australian, vaccine and reference strains. A potential route of MG field infection to the examined flocks may have been through the movement of birds, either directly (flock-to-flock transmission) or indirectly (through wild bird transmission). To our knowledge, this study reports the first molecular characterization by gene-targeted sequencing (GTS) analysis of MG strains from commercial poultry in SAU, UAE and SL.","PeriodicalId":19845,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Veterinary Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69869151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
