As would be expected, many viral pathogens can affect this group. The most pathogenic of these are the rhabdoviruses, a reovirus and three herpesviruses. Cyprinid herpesviruses can cause significant economic losses in aquaculture, and some of these viruses are oncogenic. The three herpesviruses are closely related but cause distinctly different diseases. Fish pox, caused by cyprinid herpesvirus 1 (CyHV-1), is one of the oldest known fish diseases, being recorded as early as 1563. It takes the form of a hyperplastic, epidermal papilloma on common carp. Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is causative agent of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN). The herpesvirus was first isolated from cultured goldfish in Japan. It causes a severe epizootic but no external clinical signs were apparent on affected fish. One of the most economically important and researched viral diseases of carp is koi herpesviral disease caused by cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3). The aim of this paper is to present the current knowledge on herpesvirus diseases of the cyprinids.","PeriodicalId":34085,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70586992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a number of virulence mechanisms involved in the disease process in poultry and determination of some of the responsible genes is important for diagnosis of colibacillosis. In this work, research data regarding diagnostics of APEC and how certain clonal lineages could cause infection in different hosts is presented. In order to determine virulence genotype of APEC, multiplex polymerase chain reaction, based on a published sequence of seven pairs of primers (iroN, ompT, hlyF, iss, iutA, elitC and cvaC), was used in our laboratory. It was established in the research of other scientists that isolates with two or more of these genes can develop pathogenic phenotype, while isolates with one or none of the genes are mostly commensal E. coli. Additionally, virulence mechanisms in APEC were also briefly described. It was emphasized that resistance genes and virulence genes are sometimes co-located on the same plasmid and that such plasmids could be shared among related or unrelated bacteria species. Since APEC often confers resistance to antibiotics, the therapy is less effective in poultry with multidrug resistant strains. It was concluded that good management practice, treatment with probiotics and/or vaccination are necessary to reduce colibacillosis outbreaks. This approach is even more pronounced since APEC resides in intestine of healthy poultry and could cause disease if poultry is exposed to various stressors.","PeriodicalId":34085,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70587123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

D. gallinae is a species that has developed resistance to all current acaricides. Considering this, we can assume that the new acaricide - fluralaner with its evident efficacy, but also with some downsides, will improve the situation in D. gallinae control in the short term. The control of red poultry mite population in intensive poultry production has had an unfavourable tendency for decades. In order for this trend to be stopped and reversed, certain measures must be taken to the control of this disease. It is necessary to eliminate toxicological risks; define the short-term objective (efficient suppression) and the long-term one (eradication); introduce the principles of biosecurity, prevention, and rational control; provide a professional application of formulations and increase the quality of monitoring. The D. gallinae program control integrates all the above specified elements into a whole. In our opinion, the currently used program currently used on farms, based on mechanical control and active influence on technological processes, has a bright future.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the repellent efficiency of an electronic device using the combined action of ultrasonic waves, light signals, and electromagnetic field change in practice. Two field trials were carried out on a cattle-breeding farm and a feed warehouse inhabited by brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) and roof rats (Rattus rattus). Repellent efficacy was determined by comparing the indicators evaluating the presence and activity of rodents during the pre-testing period before the inclusion of the device and after its activation during the test period. A lack of repellent effect was found in both field studies. The results obtained are supported by an analysis of the scientific literature confirming the inadequate effectiveness of electronic rat control devices in practical conditions.

Recently, there has been an increase in number of cases of poisoning of domestic and wild animals with highly toxic pesticides in the Republic of Serbia. During the two-year period (2016-2017), in total 40 autopsies of dogs and 2 cats from the territory of the South Bačka District were performed at the Department of Pathology at Scientific Veterinary Institute “Novi Sad” to determine the cause of death. Reasonable suspicion of poisoning in 13 dogs and 2 cats was made based on anamnestic data. The expertises were performed on request of the Republic veterinary inspector in 5 cases, and on the request of the owner in 8 cases. After autopsy, liver, kidneys and stomach content were sampled for toxicological analysis. The presence of carbofuran was determined in three dogs and one cat and the presence of 4,6-dinitro-ortho-cresol in one dog by method of gas-mass chromatography. In these cases of poisoning, on the basis of anamnestic data, clinical picture and autopsy finding it was concluded that poisonings were deliberate.

The reduction of D. gallinae infection to an acceptable level can temporarily prevent its harmful effects on the health status ofpoultry.

Contrary to suppression, the eradication approach completely eliminates D. gallinae thus improving general health status of the flock and providing the control of infectious and contagious diseases associated with this organismand eliminating other adverse effects. Biological efficiency and selection of inert compounds was performed in laboratory conditions. The previous experience with application of SiO2 formulations in practice confirmed thepossibility of successful eradication in 8 cases (combined application of liquid and powdered form). New generation of inert compounds (P 547/17) showed a range of superior properties as compared with SiO2 formulations,especially in view of high and long-lasting residual effects on non-absorbent surfaces.

Adverse reactions may arise as a direct consequence of immunization due to the specificity of the vaccine itself, the quality of the vaccine or the immunization errors.
