The strong human-opossum conflict that results in high numbers of individuals with health problems demands information on physiological parameters to be used in veterinary medicine practice. The aim of this study was to estimate the reference intervals (RI) of hematology and serum biochemistry for this species which are lacking and evaluate its variability. Out of the 61 apparently healthy wild opossums evaluated, we found significant variability in the RI´s associated sex, life stage, habitat, and the reproductive stage of females. Males had higher values of RBC and hemoglobin than females, but females had higher values of MCH than males. Juveniles had higher values of MCV and MCH, but adults had higher values RBC, WBC and neutrophils. In addition, rural opossums had higher values of hemoglobin, MCHC, MCH and platelets, but urban opossums had higher values of WBC, particularly neutrophils and lymphocytes. Opossums are exposed to many different stressors in urban settings, and further research is needed to understand these physiological responses to urbanization. Finally, lactating females had higher values of monocytes and basophils compared to non-lactating females, potentially providing passive immunity through the milk to the immature neonates in the marsupium.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11872772/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537705","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}

The experiment was conducted in raceway tanks with a volume of 19m3, comprising two treatments with three replicates each. Fish were assigned to either a control diet or a diet supplemented with 0.67% green propolis crude extract. Each experimental unit consisted of 30 fish, initially averaging 22.38 g ± 0.32 in weight, and which were fed ad libitum for 60 days. Results demonstrated that dietary supplementation with green propolis crude extract significantly improved the growth of juvenile tilapia compared to the control group. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Bacteroidetes, and Cyanobacteria were identified as the predominant bacterial phyla in the intestinal microbiota of both groups. The genera Candidatus xiphinematobacter (Verrucomicrobia) and Somerae (Firmicutes) were consistently abundant across treatments, with Somerae and Dispar as the most prevalent species. Significant differences in alpha diversity were observed between treatments at the genus and species levels according to the Chao 1 index. However, no significant differences were detected in Shannon index diversity between the control and green propolis crude extract groups. Beta diversity analysis revealed distinct clustering between treatments. Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) highlighted significant differences in bacterial abundance between the control and green propolis crude extract groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with green propolis crude extract improved growth. It also modulated the intestinal microbiota of juvenile Thai tilapia.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"120"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143524736","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}

One of the most effective measures for combating this disease is vaccination. However, sheep are often excluded from vaccination campaigns because of vaccine shortages. Intradermal vaccination can significantly reduce the quantity of antigens and adjuvants required, thereby increasing vaccine availability. Although numerous experimental studies have been conducted on the intradermal administration of the FMD vaccine, no such studies have been conducted on sheep, and the duration of antibody response for this species remains unclear. Inactivated antigens for foot-and-mouth disease, including O/Panasia-II, A/IRN-05, A/ASIA/G-VII, and ASIA1/Sindh-08, were formulated using ictyolane 18 and ictyolane 30 adjuvants to prepare water-in-oil-in-water and microemulsions. Forty-five Merino sheep were randomly divided into four groups of 10 animals each, with one unvaccinated group containing five animals. One mL of vaccine (> 3PD50) was administered intramuscularly to the intramuscular groups (IM18 and IM30), whereas 1/4 mL was administered intradermally to intradermal groups (ID18 and ID30). A booster dose was administered to all groups on day 28. Blood samples were collected from the sheep at various intervals: days 0, 7, 14, 28, 58, 86, 118, 151, 179, 211, 241, 270, 302, 338, and 361. Serum antibody levels were determined using VNT and LPB-ELISA. No difference was observed between the reduced-dose intradermal and full-dose intramuscular administration of Ictyolane 18 (ICT18) vaccine formulation (p > 0.05) in terms of antibody level and duration in sheep. It has been observed that the Ictyolane 18 formulations generally stimulate a higher antibody response than the Ictyolane 30 formulations.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143504484","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 underlying etiology of DCM is usually not definitively identified; however, in predisposed breeds a hereditary etiology is often suspected. Other etiologies, such as toxins and infections, have also been documented or suspected to cause DCM in dogs. Conventional drug treatment cannot reverse disease progression but can only control the signs of heart failure as they occur. Cytoprotective gene therapy with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-B167 (VEGF-B167) has been shown to be an effective alternative therapy that can halt disease progression in preclinical experimental studies in dogs. This study reports the long-term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up of a 6-year-old St. Bernard dog with DCM treated with intracoronary administration of VEGF-B167 gene delivered by adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV- VEGF-B167). Monitoring was performed at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months post-procedure (T0-T8) including clinical, laboratory and instrumental examinations. The dog reached T8 in good clinical condition. Comparing echocardiographic parameters from T0 to T8, ejection fraction (EF%) did not worsen, indeed showing potential improvement (30% to 38% from T0 to T8 respectively) (Simpson method). Other parameters of disease progression varied minimally over the course of the study. From T0 to T8, no relevant change in medical therapy was necessary. The dog survived 341 days from the last follow-up and died of sudden death 1436 days after the procedure (T0). A survival time of 4 years in good health is an excellent outcome suggesting a possible protective role of VEFG-B167 in slowing disease progression in this dog.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"117"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11861415/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143493802","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}

However, there is a scarcity in the literature regarding the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating PNS injuries in horses. This report aims to describe the therapeutic potential of equine MSC transplantation in two horses with chronic traumatic facial nerve paralysis. Both horses presented with lip ptosis and right deviation of the nostril and upper lip, being clinically diagnosed with left facial nerve paralysis. Due to the refractoriness to conventional anti-inflammatory treatments, cell-based therapy was chosen. One horse received an autologous transplant of equine bone marrow-derived MSCs (EqBM-MSCs) four months after the traumatic event, while the other underwent three transplants of allogeneic equine adipose tissue-derived MSCs (EqAT-MSCs) at 30-day intervals, starting two months after the injury. All transplants were performed at three different sites around the facial nerve, at the level of bifurcation of the buccal branch in both horses. Physical and neurological assessments revealed significant clinical recovery within three months for the first horse and four months for the second. These findings demonstrated that equine MSCs transplants have great therapeutic potential for chronic traumatic facial nerve paralysis in horses, highlighting the relevance of MSCs- based therapy for peripheral nerve injuries.","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 2","pages":"118"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143493774","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 sublingual part has a median ridge and two sublingual gland openings; the large round openings are along the ridge, while the small ovoid openings are along each half. The sublaryngeal region contained three sublaryngeal ridges. The oropharyngeal roof papillary system is classified into palatine and pharyngeal (one dorsal transverse row and the two ventral transverse rows) systems. The palatine papillary system has five transverse papillary rows on the choanal field and two longitudinal papillary rows (one on each side of the choanal opening). The choana is divided into a long, narrow rostral part and a wide, short caudal part. The choana is surrounded by an elevated papillary fold of 7-10 small papillae, arranged in a pattern of 2-3 papillae between the transverse ridges. The caudal part is bordered by two longitudinal papillary rows without an elevated border, with 6-8 papillae. A papillary border encircled the choana. There are fifteen ridges on the roof: eight longitudinal and seven transverse ridges. Each lateral longitudinal palatine region carried 6-8 tooth-like rostrally directed projections.
