This study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of renal vascular index parameters including renal resistive index (RRI) and pulsatility index (RPI) in the non-invasive diagnosis of renal damage in cats diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). The study group comprised 17 cats diagnosed with FIP and 10 healthy cats as controls for data comparison. Hematological and biochemical assessments were detected the kidney damage in FIP cases. Comprehensive ultrasound recordings of both kidneys were acquired using abdominal ultrasound. Color and pulsed wave Doppler ultrasonographic imaging, along with RRI and RPI values derived from these assessments, as well as comprehensive total renal ultrasonography evaluations, were documented. The mean RRI and RPI values of the right kidney (0.78 ± 0.11 and 2.12 ± 0.36, respectively) and the left kidney (0.77 ± 0.11 and 1.99 ± 0.09, respectively) were significantly higher in cats with FIP compared to the control group (right kidney: 0.54 ± 0.09 and 0.79 ± 0.21, P < 0.001 and P < 0.041, respectively; left kidney: 0.55 ± 0.10 and 0.80 ± 0.23, P < 0.001 and P < 0.036, respectively). Additionally, ROC analysis also determined the sensitivity and specificity of RRI and RPI (94%, 50% and 100%, 66%) at optimal cut-off points (RRI: 0.58 and RPI: 0.63). These findings reported in the present study is important as it is the first report of vascular index parameters in cats with FIP. These findings suggest that RRI and RPI may represent valuable non-invasive hemodynamic biomarkers for evaluating renal involvement and monitoring the progression of kidney damage associated with FIP.

Background: Brucellosis is listed as a priority disease in low-income countries like Guinea, facing challenges in logistics, equipment, competence, and cost limitations for diagnosis. Serological diagnosis is mainly performed by the Rose Bengal agglutination test (RBT) in the veterinary sector. We have compared its discriminative capacity with more sophisticated and expensive serological tests, such as multi-species or species-specific ELISA kits and Complement Fixation test (CFT).
Methodology/principal findings: A panel of 554 serum samples of pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle collected throughout Guinea from 2017 to 2019 where tested by RTB and ELISA tests in parallel at the Institut Pasteur de Guinée (Conakry) and the Brucellosis WOAH/EU Reference Laboratory of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (Maisons-Alfort, France). ELISAs performed equally across laboratories (Kappa =0.867-0.958); RBT and ELISA showed 94-95% concordance. The CFT value of positive cattle samples also logically followed the RBT scores CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: In low-income countries like Guinea, the less expensive RBT can be regarded as a convenient routine Brucella diagnosis tool, assuming a solid experience of the operator following standard operating protocols and regular proficiency tests. As WOAH recommends confirmatory methods, the multispecies ELISA kit appears as a good candidate for conveniently trained and equipped laboratories.
