One of the viruses associated with this disease is ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), which is responsible for sheep-associated MCF. Sheep serve as the reservoir host for OvHV-2, transmitting the virus susceptible species such as buffaloes and cattle. Virus shedding in sheep is thought to be age-dependent. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate OvHV-2 infection in sheep and determine the age at which virus excretion occurs. For this purpose, 191 female sheep from four suburbs of Ahvaz were studied. The studied sheep were female and according to incisors teeth formula divided into six age groups; 3-< 6, 6-< 12 months to 1, 2, 3,and ≥ 4 years. Blood and nasal swab samples were taken from each animal. Buffy coats were removed from the blood samples, and DNA extraction were performed from buffy coats and swab sample. Semi-nested PCR was used to detect OvHV-2 DNA. The PCR results showed that 89.5 % of blood samples and 78.5 % of nasal swabs were positive for OvHV-2. Nasal excretion of the virus was observed across all ages groups, though the frequency varied with age. A significant correlation was found between presence of virus in blood and detection of virus in nasal swap samples. In conclusion, sheep of all ages are capable to excretion OvHV-2 through nasal secretion, posing a risk of infecting susceptible animals.</p>","PeriodicalId":20413,"journal":{"name":"Preventive veterinary medicine","volume":"244 ","pages":"106638"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144804618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although stressful, most CVOs were committed to their work and felt they made valuable contributions towards both animal and human health.

Thus, CVO qualifications include subject matter knowledge and specific leadership qualities, which need to be considered when making CVO appointments.

A better understanding of how infection patterns of these viral pathogens occur in growing pigs and their impact on productivity measures would help drive improved preventative and control measures for these pathogens. This study was conducted with the objectives to: (1) describe patterns of infection dynamics of PRRSV and swine enteric coronaviruses, (2) determine the impact of introductions and timing of introductions of PRRSV and SeCoV on wean-to-market mortality, average daily gain, and feed conversion, and (3) compare the economic performance of groups of growing pigs with different timing of introductions and pathogen combinations of PRRSV and SeCoV. The pathogen status and timing of the introduction of PEDV, PDCoV, and PRRSV for 75 groups of pigs that originated from negative sow farms were determined by collecting eight oral fluid samples every two weeks per group of pigs and tested by RT-PCR. The timing of introduction for those pathogens was categorized as nursery (3–10 weeks of age), early finisher (11–21 weeks of age), and late finisher (22–33 weeks of age.) Regression analyses were used to compare mortality, average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion (FC) between pathogen combinations and time of pathogen introductions. A production and economic model was used to determine differences in net profit per pig placed using least squares means of productivity differences from the regression analysis. Wild-type PRRSV was detected in 96 % of the groups of growing pigs, and 37 % became positive for SeCoV. Groups of pigs with multiple pathogens had significantly increased mortality compared to groups with single pathogen introductions. PRRSV introduction in the nursery or early finisher phase or SeCoV introduction in the nursery phase resulted in significantly higher mortality than later introductions, and nursery introductions of SeCoV impacted ADG and FC. Compared to negative groups, the net profit of groups with pathogen introductions was decreased due to increased mortality and reduced ADG and FC, with the most significant differences resulting from pigs with a nursery introduction of SeCoV.

Meta-regression analysis did not reveal significant associations between prevalence and factors such as symptoms presence, ownership status, or geographic region. However, the high heterogeneity among studies suggests that unaccounted variables, such as detection methods, may contribute to results variability. These findings underscore the epidemiological relevance of canine and feline influenza and highlight the need for ongoing surveillance to monitor geographic and temporal trends.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20413,"journal":{"name":"Preventive veterinary medicine","volume":"246 ","pages":"Article 106716"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145302807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current method for assessing CM severity mainly considers clinical symptoms while a comprehensive approach is lacking. This study aims to explore CM severity in different dimensions. We collected data on 129 CM cases detected by automatic milking system (AMS) and confirmed by herdsman from three farms in Belgium (n = 2) and the Netherlands (n = 1). The CM severity was assessed in four dimensions: production (maximum relative milk loss for the inflamed and uninflamed quarters separately), somatic cell count (deviation from cow-level baseline), clinical (mild, moderate, severe clinical symptoms), and pathogen (cultures from the inflamed quarter). We explored the relations between these dimensions and examined the impact of farm, parity, and lactation stage (LS). Our findings revealed that severity dimensions were positively correlated, with correlations from 0.30 to 0.50. The strongest correlation between dimensions occurred between the production dimension in inflamed and uninflamed quarters. Severity in the somatic cell count dimension exhibited the stronger correlation with production severity for uninflamed quarters and pathogen severity compared to other dimensions, and the clinical dimension showed the strongest association with the production dimension for uninflamed quarters. Additionally, farm, parity, and LS were found to influence both the severity within certain dimensions and the interrelationships among them. These results suggest that, although CM severity scores across the four dimensions are positively correlated, clear variations exist. Combining the four scores could help to capture the full scope of CM by simultaneously assessing the severity of cases across these dimensions. Despite potential detection bias in the CM cases, our findings provide an opportunity to develop a novel CM severity scoring system that could optimize treatment decisions and promote sustainability of the dairy sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20413,"journal":{"name":"Preventive veterinary medicine","volume":"246 ","pages":"Article 106717"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145302764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
