This paper analyses the diagnostic utility of interleukins (1, 4, 6) and lipid metabolism products (cholesterol, triacylglycerols, lipoprotein fractions) in subclinical ketosis in cows. It was found that serum levels of proinflammatory (IL-1 and IL-6) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4) interleukins in cows with ketosis did not differ from those in clinically healthy animals. This therefore indicates the absence of inflammation in the subclinical form of ketosis. These data were also confirmed by normal α1- and α2-globulin levels. IL-6 is known to increase the synthesis of acute phase inflammatory proteins. There was no significant difference in the IL-4 content between the experimental and control groups of cows. In the subclinical form of ketosis in cows, abnormalities in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism were detected in the form of hypertriglyceridaemia and hyperlipoproteinaemia with very low-density lipoproteins, an increase in low-density lipoproteins, and a decrease in very high-density lipoproteins. This was verified by similar changes in β-lipoprotein levels and lipoprotein fractions and was specific to the first stage of lipomobilisation syndrome.

The aim of the study was to determine whether the rapid diagnostic CPV Ag (VetExpert), CDV Ag (VetExpert) and CDV/CAV Ag (VetExpert) tests are able to detect the presence of vaccine viruses in faeces and conjunctival swabs (CDV) collected from dogs vaccinated against distemper, parvovirus and Rubarth’s disease. The tested dogs were administered vaccines once, and then faeces and conjunctival sac swabs were collected from all animals on days: 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 25 after the vaccination for molecular testing and to perform rapid immunochromatographic tests for the detection of CPV, CDV and CAV antigens. The immunochromatographic tests were not able to detect the presence of any of the tested pathogens during the 25-day observation period in the vaccinated dogs, although CPV was detected in faeces by PCR up to 20 days after vaccination, and CDV and CAV up to 14 days after vaccination. Summing up the results of our own research, it should be stated that rapid immunochromatographic tests are not able to detect CPV, CDV and CAV vaccine viruses in the faeces of animals subjected to vaccination, and in the case of CDV also in the conjunctival swabs, but they are an excellent tool for detecting these pathogens in animals infected with field strains of these viruses and showing clinical symptoms of the diseases.
该研究的目的是确定快速诊断CPV Ag (VetExpert)、CDV Ag (VetExpert)和CDV/CAV Ag (VetExpert)检测是否能够检测从接种过犬瘟热、细小病毒和鲁氏病疫苗的狗收集的粪便和结膜拭子(CDV)中存在疫苗病毒。接种一次疫苗后，于接种后第2、5、7、10、14、20、25天采集所有动物的粪便和结膜囊拭子进行分子检测和快速免疫层析检测CPV、CDV和CAV抗原。免疫层析试验未能在接种犬的25天观察期内检测到任何被测病原体的存在，尽管在接种后20天通过PCR在粪便中检测到CPV，在接种后14天通过PCR在粪便中检测到CDV和CAV。总结我们自己的研究结果，需要说明的是，快速免疫层析技术不能在接种动物的粪便中检测到CPV、CDV和CAV疫苗病毒，在结膜拭子中也不能检测到CDV，但在感染这些病毒的野外菌株的动物中检测这些病原体并显示疾病的临床症状是一种很好的工具。

Comparing to the former regulations, the methods of combating infectious animal diseases established in the Animal Health Law has undergone significant changes in many aspects, including the categorization of diseases, and the need to apply the provisions of this regulation directly may raise doubts both as to their interpretation and to the conduct of the authorities responsible for this area. In particular, this applies to domestic activities and the scope of competences of poviat veterinarians. An additional aspect that hinders the transparency of the application of the Animal Health Law is the principle of delegation of powers to the European Commission to issue delegated and implementing acts that supplement, specify or amend them. Therefore, we are dealing with the need to efficiently navigate the area of many new legal acts, the overall operational knowledge of which becomes indispensable, especially for employees and bodies of the Veterinary Inspectionin Poland.

The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of certain protozoa (B. caballi, T. equi, T. gondii, Neospora sp.) and viral agents (equine influenza, equine viral arteritis, equine herpesviruses) of equids in Balikesir and its surroundings, in Turkey. Plasma and serum samples were collected from 66 horses and 96 donkeys. Babesia caballi, T. equi and Neospora sp. antibodies were detected with c-ELISA, whereas T. gondii antibodies were revealed by the Sabin Feldman Dye test. Viral agents were detected by the PCR technique. The prevalence rates of the protozoa in horses were 12.12% for B. caballi, 34.84% for T. equi, 9.09% for T. gondii, and 10.6% for Neospora sp. The molecular prevalence of the viral agents amounted to 3.03% for equine influenza virus and 6.06% for equine herpesvirus 5. Equine viral arteritis virus and other herpesviruses (1, 2 and 4) were not detected in any of the samples. The rates of seropositivity in donkeys were 1.69% for B. caballi, 71.87% for T. equi, 90.62% for T. gondii, 23.95% for Neospora sp., 1.04% for equine influenza virus, 0% for equine viral arteritis virus, 3.12% for equine herpesvirus 5, and 0% for other herpesviruses. This study is the first to report the existence of anti-Neospora sp. antibodies in donkeys and the seroprevalence of T. gondii in horses and donkeys in Western Anatolia, Turkey.

A significant part of the global population depends on fish for both survival and health. However, as industry and agriculture expand rapidly, more and more natural and artificial aquatic ecosystems become contaminated. It may not only have an impact on the health of fish, but also raise safety concerns regarding the human consumption of fish. Although fish and fish products are well known to have a great nutritional value, it is crucial to be aware of the risk associated with their consumption, as they are among the main sources of foodborne bacteria.

The aim of this article is to summarise the factors that influence the occurrence of complications after surgical extraction of teeth in horses. This is influenced not only by the choice of method, but also by the age of the horse, the position of the tooth, the experience of the person performing the procedure and the available diagnostics methods. It should be emphasised that the procedure is performed only when there is no possibility of further conservative treatment and an increasing clinical condition may be an important risk factor for complications. Further studies focusing on the topic are needed to fully assess the number of complications and the links between their occurrence and the relevant factor.

Pica is defined as a depraved or abnormal appetite characterized by licking and eating non-nutritive substances. The aim of this study was to report changes in the serum mineral levels and haematobiochemical parameters of buffalo calves with pica. The study included 30 buffalo calves exhibiting pica behaviour, such as licking stall walls or eating wool and non-food items (pica group), and 6 buffalo calves without the signs of pica behaviour (control group). The age of both groups ranged between 1 and 6 months. In the pica group, the haematological analysis revealed a decrease in red blood cells (P < 0.001) and red cell distribution width (P < 0.05) as well as an increase in the mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (P < 0.001), whereas the biochemical parameters were characterized by an increase in aspartate aminotransferase (P < 0.01), alanine aminotransferase (P < 0.001) and lactate dehydrogenase (P < 0.05) levels and a decrease in creatinine and glucose (P < 0.01) levels. Furthermore, the pica group showed a significant decrease in serum manganese, iron, zinc, selenium (P < 0.001) and copper (P < 0.01) concentrations. In conclusion, it was determined that deficiencies in the levels of serum iron, copper, zinc, manganese and selenium play an important role in the aetiology of pica in buffalo calves.

The current study aimed to investigate the possible effects of black mulberry juice (BMJ) consumption on spermatologic parameters, oxidant/antioxidant activity, and seminal plasma testosterone concentrations of male rabbits. Twenty-four healthy adult New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 6). By oral gavage, 3.0 mL of distilled water, 0.75 mL BMJ + 2.25 distilled water, 1.50 mL BMJ + 1.5 mL distilled water, and 3 mL BMJ per 1 kg body weight were given daily for 9 weeks to rabbits in the C, LD, MD, and HD groups, respectively. Ejaculates were taken at the beginning and end of the experiments. Progressive motility, sperm concentration, and intact sperm rates were significantly increased especially in MD and HD groups. A significant decrease in malondialdehyde concentrations was apparent due to BMJ consumption. Moreover, there was a marked increase in catalase and glutathione peroxidase levels in the seminal plasma of the MD and HD groups. The current results indicated that, although seminal plasma protein levels and seminal plasma glutathione levels were not altered, overall oral BMJ treatments were able to improve sperm quality and antioxidant states of the male rabbits.
本研究旨在探讨黑桑椹汁(BMJ)摄入对雄性家兔精子学参数、氧化/抗氧化活性和精浆睾酮浓度的可能影响。选取健康成年新西兰大白兔24只，随机分为4组(n = 6)， C组、LD组、MD组、HD组每天分别灌胃蒸馏水3.0 mL、BMJ 0.75 mL + 2.25蒸馏水、BMJ 1.50 mL + 1.5 mL蒸馏水、BMJ 3 mL / 1 kg体重，连续9周。在实验的开始和结束时分别服用射精液。进行性运动、精子浓度和完整精子率显著增加，尤其是在MD和HD组。由于BMJ的消耗，丙二醛浓度明显下降。此外，MD组和HD组精浆中过氧化氢酶和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶水平显著升高。目前的研究结果表明，尽管精浆蛋白和精浆谷胱甘肽水平没有改变，但总体上口服BMJ治疗能够改善雄性兔的精子质量和抗氧化状态。

The aim of this review is to present information about leukemia caused by feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection in felids. Despite widespread vaccinations, leukemia is still one of the most common diseases in cats. FeLV infection occurs by direct contact between animals, especially through contact with saliva. Infection with this highly contagious virus is characterized by immunosuppression and non-specific signs, such as cytopenia or tumorigenesis. The virus is transmitted horizontally through close contact between cats and vertically from infected queens to their kittens. Persistently infected cats are the reservoir of the virus. Rapid ELISA tests and immunochromatography play a major role in diagnosis, but RT-PCR is the most reliable diagnostic method. There is no specific therapy against FeLV, so treatment is mainly symptomatic. Research on the use of antiviral drugs, i.e. tenofovir, raltegravir, and fozyvudine, is underway. Proper prophylaxis, including regular vaccination of animals, is important to minimize the risk and consequences of infection

Portosystemic shunt (PSS) in dogs is a common abnormality in which blood from the intestines bypasses the liver flowing directly to the systemic circulation through an aberrant vessel. The lack of hepatic detoxication can lead to a fatal outcome. Treatment of choice is a surgical occlusion of the shunt. Gastrointestinal ulceration/ erosion (GUE) has been described as one of the numerous clinical consequences of PSS, As these lesions are a severe complication, and seem to be underestimated, this review presents the current knowledge about GUE in dogs with PSS. Although the pathogenesis of these lesions is not clear and experimental data are scarce, we conclude that proton pump inhibitors should be administered pre- and postoperatively to dogs with PSS to reduce the incidence of GUE and thus increase the recovery rate.

Although the pathogenesis of these lesions is not clear and experimental data are scarce, we conclude that proton pump inhibitors should be administered pre- and postoperatively to dogs with PSS to reduce the incidence of GUE and thus increase the recovery rate.","PeriodicalId":49017,"journal":{"name":"Medycyna Weterynaryjna-Veterinary Medicine-Science and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68107831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
