The present study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in dairy goats from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as to evaluate associated risk factors, parasitic DNA detection in raw goat milk samples, and attempts to isolate the parasite from raw goat milk samples. Between October 2020 and December 2022, blood samples were collected from 460 goats, and 220 milk samples were taken from goats raised in the Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. The serum samples were tested for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies using IFAT. The milk samples were tested for parasitic DNA detection using nPCR, and attempts were made to isolate the protozoan in mice. For risk factor analysis, the farmers answered a semi-structured questionnaire covering various epidemiological variables. Overall, 24.1% tested positive for anti-T. gondii IgG in serum samples. Risk factors included farm location, age group, rearing system, presence of cats, grazing, and access of cats to water sources. In nPCR, 38.6% were positive, but none were positive in the bioassay. However, 3.2% of the mice inoculated with goat milk seroconverted. This study found that the exposure of dairy goats in Rio de Janeiro to T. gondii is driven by ineffective management practices in preventing and controlling the parasite in these animals. Moreover, despite the detection of parasitic DNA in raw goat milk, the shedding of viable parasites in milk from naturally exposed goats appears to be low.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"69"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955949","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}

This condition frequently results in severe pain, neurological deficits, and mobility impairments, prompting the development of various surgical techniques aimed at effectively stabilizing the affected area. A critical evaluation of the literature on surgical stabilization of the lumbosacral spine in dogs reveals the clinical applications, outcomes, and future directions in veterinary spinal surgery. The pathophysiology of L7-S1 instability necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of different surgical interventions and the potential for custom-made solutions utilizing advanced materials and technologies. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify studies that focus on the surgical management of degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS) in dogs, with particular reference to the use of implants, the influence of ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards in veterinary surgery, and the use of novel materials and custom-made implants.Although current surgical methods provide significant benefits in managing L7-S1 instability, further research is needed to refine these techniques and fully explore the potential of custom-made solutions in veterinary orthopedics. Integrating ISO standards from human medicine into veterinary practice could significantly improve the safety and effectiveness of spinal stabilization procedures in dogs.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"68"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955947","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}

Hence, the present study aims to report the first morphological description of the new genus Cosmocercoides Wilkie, 1930 (Ascaridida: Cosmocercidae) in Iranian toads (Bufotes surdus).Methods: During the helminthological survey from October 2023 to December 2023, 10 specimens of Bufotes surdus were collected. They were transferred to the parasitological laboratory of Ardakan University, where they were euthanized and necropsied, and parasites were isolated from the toad's large intestine. Nematodes were washed in physiological saline and then fixed and stored in 80% ethanol until studied. Moreover, for light microscopic studies, nematodes were washed in lactophenol, and the morphological and morphometric parameters of male and female nematodes, including total length, esophagus, spicule, and eggs, were evaluated.Results: The results showed that the total length of male worms was 2.83 (2.45-3.17) mm on average, and the length of the esophagus was 632.67 (631.50-634) µm. Additionally, the spicule of the male nematode was 381 (354-426) µm on average, and the eggs of female worms were 72 (59-85) × 47 (42-53) µm on average. The morphometric parameters indicate the biological differences of worms in this region compared to other countries and indicate local biodiversity.Conclusion: In conclusion, the morphological and morphometric parameters evidence reported in the present study supports identifying a new species within the genus Cosmocercoides, based on specimens collected from Bufotes surdus.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"65"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955945","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}

The dam was a black coat alpaca bred in the Netherlands, imported in Italy in January 2021, and housed in a farm of central Italy for breeding purposes. Signalment and clinical data on dam and fetus were collected from the farmer and referring veterinarian. Necropsies and histopathological investigations on mother and conceptus were conducted at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia. The fetus was aborted at the 5th gestational month and at necropsy revealed bilateral thyroid gland enlargement. Microscopically the thyroid gland presented follicular cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia, follicles greatly varying in size, with macrofollicles lined by attenuated to atrophic epithelium and distended by eosinophilic colloid (colloid goiter). The dam presented a history of anorexia, wasting, dullness, severe weakness, incoordination, recurrent seizures, and, most recently, abortion. At necropsy, a cerebral focal loss of substance was found at the right parietal cortex, which histologically corresponded to laminar ischemic neuronal necrosis; most importantly, histological examination of cerebellum showed multifocal necrosis of the Purkinje cells associated with severe depletion of the granular layer neurons. These cerebellar findings in the dam combined with goiter in the conceptus suggest organomercurial poisoning as the likely cause of abortion followed by mother's death. Mercury poisoning is hypothesized as the possible link between mother's and fetus' lesions.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955930","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}

This research aims to understand pet owners' attitudes towards compounded medications, focusing on their challenges and needs. A total of 300 respondents from the territory of Novi Sad, province of Vojvodina, Republic of Serbia completed the questionnaire, through face-to-face interviews at veterinary clinics. Pet owners stated that the majority of companion animals were dogs (66.7%), followed by cats (22.8%). A significant portion of them received medication in the past five years (70.7%), while nearly half of them were human-approved (47.9%) out of which more than half (55%) of the pets received antimicrobials for systemic use. Although the majority of pets did not receive compounded medication (79.8%), respondents believed that both they and their pets would benefit from it. Only small fraction of respondents knew that local pharmacies had the ability to compound medications for pets (14.5%). In the era of personalized medicine, compounded medication for specialized needs play an important role providing optimum therapy for veterinary patients. However, limitations persist, including variability in formulation quality, limited regulatory oversight, and challenges in ensuring consistency in potency and stability, as well as decreased efficacy for certain drugs and the challenges related to the lack of pharmacokinetic data for some administration routes. By customizing treatments for individual veterinary patients, we can optimize antimicrobial use, reduce the selective pressure that drives resistance, and enhance patient outcomes, while acknowledging the need for careful oversight and quality control in compounding practices to ensure safety and efficacy.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932736","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}

Two bird colonies, one nesting in a natural habitat and the other in an urban habitat at the landfill, were studied simultaneously during their 7-month breeding season. Significant differences in phospholipase and protease production were found between natural and anthropophized strains. Both virulent activities were higher in strains of potentially pathogenic yeast species isolated from the excreta of Mew Gulls nesting in the anthropogenic habitat near the landfill. No significant differences were found in hemolysin production. Thus, synanthropic migratory birds nesting in an urban area could be involved in the wide spread of yeast virulence.
