Our research along the coasts of Hendijan County, Iran, involved capturing live crabs (167 ± 52.07 g), examining their morphological traits and determining their reproductive stages through dissection and histological analysis. Apoptosis was detected using the TUNEL assay (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling), and enzyme activities including superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were measured using colorimetric methods. Variations were observed in the abundance of apoptotic cells within the hepatopancreas across reproductive stages. The second stage exhibited the lowest values and the first stage displayed the highest indicating a potential link between reproductive activity and apoptosis. Furthermore, enzymes representing the antioxidant system demonstrated various activities during ovarian development. Notably, the second ovarian stage demonstrated the highest catalase (5.63 mM per g protein) and malondialdehyde (12.14 mM per g protein) activities indicating an elevated response to oxidative stress. Our findings demonstrated that apoptotic cell numbers were fluctuated throughout the reproductive stages in the crabs, with the highest levels observed during the first stage and the lowest during the second stage. Understanding these fluctuations not only aids in distinguishing between reproductive and non-reproductive phases but also offers valuable insights into the broader physiological changes occurring throughout the cycle.","PeriodicalId":23989,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Forum","volume":"16 6","pages":"353-360"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12295531/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144733623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 113 dog blood samples from two provinces in Thailand (Chonburi = 73 and Nakhon Nayok = 40) were analyzed for D. immitis infection using buffy coat smears, commercial immunochromatographic tests (SNAP 4Dx Plus), and polymerase chain reaction. Overall prevalence was 51.53% (58/113) across all methods. The positivity rates were 15.38% (12/78) for buffy coat smears, 8.00% (4/50) for SNAP 4Dx Plus, and 45.43% (51/113) for polymerase chain reaction. All positives from the test kits correlated with other methods. A significantly high prevalence was observed in dogs under 2 years old. Accessibility to pet care services in urban areas appeared to have a protective effect. Positive commercial test results could confirm D. immitis infection.

This study was investigated the effect of tannin-degrading bacteria isolated from the rumen of some ruminants on the in vitro digestibility and gas production of FBPs silage. The FBPs, including pomegranate peel (PP), and the pulps of lemon (LP), grape (GP), and orange (OP) were ensilaged with tannin-degrading bacteria (enzyme activity: 10.46 - 8.60 U mL-1) isolated from the rumen of male goat (Escherichia coli GHMGHE41), deer (Escherichia fergusonii GHMGHE44), ram (E. fergusonii GHMGHE30), and camel (Klebsiella aerogenes GHMGHE38). After anaerobic incubation (30 days; 39.00 ˚C), PP + camel strain silage showed the highest dry matter, and the lowest natural acid detergent fiber and pH. The camel strain increased crude protein content of LP silage to the highest level, and decreased acid detergent fiber of GP silage to the lowest level.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of MRS and anti-microbial resistance patterns at a university clinical hospital in Madrid, Spain. Samples were collected from both the environment and hospital staff at Veterinary Clinical Hospital of Alfonso X el Sabio University. Anti-microbial susceptibility assays, molecular detection of mecA gene and genetic relationships among the identified bacterial strains were performed. The study revealed an MRS prevalence of 1.50% in environmental samples, with MRSP accounting for 0.75% of the cases. Genetically related MRSP strains were found in different hospital areas. Among hospital staff, there was a MRS prevalence of 14.03%, including S. pseudintermedius and S. epidermidis strains. Antibiogram tests revealed multi-drug resistance among MRSP strains. Additionally, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated, suggesting potential cross-species transmission. This study underscores the presence of MRS in a veterinary clinical hospital, highlighting the significance of infection control through the implementation of protective measures, stringent hygiene practices among personnel and in the environment and responsible use of antibiotics.

Deep eye discharge, nostril, cutaneous ulcers and lymph fluid swabs were cultured, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out. Eleven horses were CFT-positive. Based on the malleination on the 11 horses, six were affected by glanders, five were not affected (false positive), and one horse was CFT-negative despite exhibiting clinical signs. It was positive by malleination, ELISA and PCR. A total number of seven positive cases of glanders were diagnosed. The B. mallei could not be isolated, but the Burkholderia cepacia complex was isolated in one case. Except for three cases, the results of the CFT, mallein and ELISA tests were consistent. The amount of confidence interval was 95.00%.

Motor behavioral tests included open field test, inclined plane, horizontal bars, static rods, parallel bars and rotarod. Finally, the data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics.

After administration of apramycin at 100 times of the therapeutic dose, four out of six mice (66.67%) died from respiratory depression. Amikacin at this dose did not cause animal death, although it caused some changes in motor behaviors with a significant difference in comparison with control values. Gentamicin demonstrated significantly more potent effects on motor behaviors compared to the other AGs. Overall, the order of potency was gentamicin > dihydrostreptomycin > apramycin > amikacin.

Laboratory analysis revealed left-shifted neutrophils, thrombocytopenia, low albumin content and high serum bilirubin concentration as well as activities of hepatic enzymes including alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Azotemia and increased serum levels of creatinine and urea were also recorded. In Giemsa-stained blood smear, Hepatozoon gamonts were observed within neutrophils. Species-specific polymerase chain reaction assay was used to amplify an approximately 590 bp fragment of 18S rRNA gene and confirmed Hepatozoon felis infection. The cat was treated with imidocarb dipropionate and doxycycline and recovered completely. Six-month follow-up showed no recurrence. This study reveals the presence of H. felis in Iran and it should be considered in differential diagnosis in febrile and icteric cats. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of H. felis infection in a cat in Iran.","PeriodicalId":23989,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Forum","volume":"15 4","pages":"211-214"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11102797/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141070502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
