Diagnosis of envenomation relies on identification of the snake which is often not possible with animal snakebite cases. This study examined the immunoreactivity profile of CN venom towards specific rabbit IgG made against the medically relevant snake venom immunotypes found in Australia (tiger, brown, black, death adder and taipan). A simultaneous sandwich ELISA format was used to quantify CN venom binding to venom specific Protein A purified rabbit IgG. The binding profiles demonstrated weak binding of CN venom to rabbit IgG made against both tiger (<i>N. scutatus</i>) and black snake (<i>P. australis</i>) venoms with approximately 0.19% and 0.069% cross reactivity, respectively. However, the concentration of venom likely to be present in the urine of CN envenomed patients and the low cross reactivity suggest that envenomed veterinary patients are unlikely to be detected in the commercial snake venom detection kit. It is possible that CN envenomation is more common but may be underdiagnosed where snake venom antigen detection is relied upon solely. Serum biochemical abnormalities also overlap with other snake species found in the same geographical area. In respect of antivenom therapy, administration of tiger snake antivenom is supported by the binding data, but due to the low cross reactivity multiple vials may be required. Limited clinical evidence also supports the efficacy of tiger snake antivenom for envenomation by CN.</p>","PeriodicalId":8661,"journal":{"name":"Australian Veterinary Journal","volume":"102 9","pages":"485-488"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/avj.13356","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141619148","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}

Aside from confirming cytological oestrus, vaginal cytology is of no assistance in predicting the most fertile day(s) in a bitch; however, a neglected avenue of research suggests that vaginal cytology may be of great importance in confirming the days of optimal fertility retrospectively. Similarly, vaginoscopy provides clues as to the stage of a bitch's cycle but is inadequate as a sole determinant of her most fertile days. Nevertheless, vaginoscopy is useful to identify very late oestrus and the onset of dioestrus, as well as Stage I of labour (cervical dilatation). Due to variations in the rate at which circulating progesterone concentrations rise in individual bitches, the reliability of circulating progesterone concentrations for determining the optimal day(s) of insemination with frozen–thawed semen decreases as values rise. Moreover, progesterone assay results can vary widely due to extrinsic factors such as the time of blood sampling, sample storage conditions and the assay employed. Finally, this review investigates evidence surrounding various insemination routes and suggests that well-performed vaginal insemination, even with frozen–thawed semen, may be an acceptable approach for cases where transcervical insemination is impractical.</p>","PeriodicalId":8661,"journal":{"name":"Australian Veterinary Journal","volume":"102 8","pages":"377-384"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/avj.13336","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140907948","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}
