Twenty four h after slaughtering, the same animals were classified into 2 distinctive classes by reflectometry (pale and dark muscles) and muscle samples were collected in each group. Superficial pectoral muscle was totally composed of type IIB, fast switch and glycolytic fibers.

The conjunctival route considerably reduces these drawbacks. In the present experiment a 1 x 10(8) CFU dose for both ewes and goats conjunctivally vaccinated at mid-pregnancy was tested for innocuousness (outcome of pregnancy, contamination of unvaccinated contact animals, duration of serological responses) in comparison with 3 x 10(8) CFU (ewes and goats), 1 x 10(9) and 3 x 10(9) CFU (ewes) doses. No reaction was observed at the time of vaccination, and the risk of environmental contamination with Rev 1, due to the conjunctival administration of the vaccine, is negligible. Abortions occurred later at surprisingly severe rates (over 60% of pregnant vaccinated animals), except in the 1 x 10(8) CFU ewes group (20%). Moreover, the serological reactions of the 1 x 10(8) CFU ewes which normally lambed were negative again as early as 12 weeks after vaccination. Although the dose of 1 x 10(8) CFU Rev 1 was safer for pregnancy than the standard dose mainly in ewes as compared to goats, the innocuousness was not yet sufficient to propose the former dose to indiscriminately vaccinate sheep and goats by the conjunctival route, whatever the age or physiological status.</p>","PeriodicalId":7914,"journal":{"name":"Annales de recherches veterinaires.

Among pathogens, some strains of Escherichia coli are widely involved in enteric infections. In France, pathogenic E coli belonging to the 0103 serogroup has been isolated in 30-40% of weanling rabbits with diarrhea. Given these conditions, it was of interest to review the different groups of diarrheogenic E coli and their plasmid-encoded virulence properties, especially adhesion and secretion of enterotoxins or cytotoxins. We attempted to investigate the E coli responsible for diarrhea in the rabbit, particularly those belonging to the 015 and 0103 serogroups. Like E coli 015, the pathogenic strains of the 0103 serogroup adhere to intestinal cells and induce effacement of microvilli with pedestal formation. Thus, these strains which are also non-invasive and do not synthetize classical LT or ST enterotoxins, could be considered as enteropathogenic E coli (EPEC) or enterohemorrhagic E coli (EHEC). In fact, E coli 0103 is often associated with severe hemorrhagic diarrhea. Enteropathogenic E coli 0103 could therefore be a good model for studying intestinal pathology due to EPEC or EHEC in the young rabbit or in other animals and man.</p>","PeriodicalId":7914,"journal":{"name":"Annales de recherches veterinaires.
