The species Chrysonilia sitophila has a cosmopolitan spread, living on dead or rotting plants, but it is also isolated from home and commercial spaces insulation. The aim of our study was to determining a growth pattern and assessing the susceptibility to different antifungals. The strain was isolated from the water of a trout breeding pool where high mortality due to Saprolegnia infection and various Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria occurred. On all used culture media (except for MacConkey), rapid growth is observed (tendency to spread over the entire surface of the plate in 36-48 hours). The isolated strain has been shown to be sensitive to ketoconazole, econazole, and miconazole; less sensitive to amphotericin B, but resistant to metronidazole, nystatin, griseofulvin and flucytosine. Chrysonilia sitophila can be grown easily, so it can also establish an antifungal sensitivity profile. Additional efforts should be made to study the pattern of susceptibility to different antifungals.

The present study deals with the craniometrical investigation carried on 4 dog crania originating from archaeological diggings dated from Bronze Age in Pecica-„Șanțul Mare”(Arad County) and Sântion (Bihor County). In order to determine the typology of the crania, the classical osteometrical methods were applied, with several cranian point measurements. The cranial, the cranian and facial indices helped us in the morphometrical characterisation of the canid skulls studied. Our results show the prevalence of the mesocephalic individuals in Pecica-„Șanțul Mare” and Sântion.

The aim was to reveal the prevalence of post-mortem lesions in two large-scale bovine slaughterhouses found in Romania so as to point out the potential hazards for human health. The proper examination of animal carcasses and organs that are destined for human consumption is essential in order to ensure food safety but not all the time properly made due to lack of time during the process of slaughter. The results showed that the most frequent lesions found within the examined organs were caused by parasitic infestation (Echinococcus granulosus; Dyctiocaulus viviparus) and the highest prevalence was found in the lungs. The pathology of lesions found in bovine organs is very variable in the slaughterhouse, being able to report strange aspects such an ectopic liver in the lung parenchyma. Measures should be taken in the farms due to this high prevalence of parasites which causes both health problems as well as economical losses.

Throughout time, honey proved to meet all the criteria for its usage as a topical treatment in wounds, due to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.A major importance was attributed to the compounds found in honey, such as glucose oxidase, methylglyoxal, low pH and hydrogen peroxide.The aim of this review is to provide an updated scientific support regarding the current state and the perspectives on honey application in the veterinary medical therapeutics. We sustain the utility of this documentation because of the contradiction between the abundance of research in the human medicine field and their sporadic character in the medical veterinary one.We assess that honey should not be simply considered as a ‘folk remedy’, but as a modern therapy. Moreover, this review intends to inform the veterinary clinicians about the therapeutic potential of honey, exerted especially on wounds healing and regenerative therapy.

The aim of the study was to describe the radiographic and computed tomography (CT), findings in three dogs with elbow flexor enthesopathy. The study was a clinical one with client-owned dogs. In two dogs, lameness was localized to the elbow by clinical examination. Radiographic examination and CT were performed, and flexor enthesopaty was observed also in the third dog as an incidental finding. Flexorenthesopathy was diagnosed in all three dogs (4 joints) by combining the minimal radiographic changes with specific CT findings. Conservative and surgical treatment were performed. In all joints, any other pathology were excluded. In all three dogs, the elbow condition improved on long-term. Flexor enthesopathy at the medial epicondyle is an unrecognized condition and is a possible cause of elbow lameness in the dog.

The aim of the present inquiry was to design an overview about the non-technical summaries available on the web page of the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Agency (Romania). We analyzed the compliance to the requirement of replacement, reduction and refinement (the 3R’s). 56 projects were found, the most of them (48), were assigned as “basic research”, 2 as “translational and applied research”, 2 as “regulatory use and routine analysis”, while 4 projects targeted “higher education or training”. The most common animals species used were rats, and mice, followed by rabbits, pigs, hamsters, guinea pigs and frogs (Rana sp.). According to cumulative severity of the project, 20 projects were classified as “severe”, six as “moderate”, three “mild”, and three as “non-recovery”. 24 projects had nor a severity assessment, neither a proper description of the level of severity. In our opinion, the number of projects classified as “severe” is too high; at least for some of them, the level of severity could be reduced using appropriate pain control techniques and / or human end-points. Overall, our recommendation is further improving the knowledge and skills of the personal involved in authorization and execution of the projects and of the authority inspectors that authorized the projects.

West Nile virus (WNV) infection causes diseases that vary in intensity from asymptomatic to fatal encephalitis in humans and animals. The etiological agent is a Flavivirus belonging to Japanesse Encephalitis complex. This zoonotic virus is maintained in nature in an enzootic cycle between mosquitoes and birds as amplifying hosts. Except birds, a wide variety of animals develop seroconversion caused by infection, and previous studies indicated that dogs may be considered as sentinel for WNV. The importance of studying this virus is caused by its zoonotic character, limited possibilities of active surveillance and real-time alertness of the infection’s presence in the human and animal populations. The aim of the study was to demonstrate and estimate the seroconversion in dogs within an area with confirmed cases in humans and animals. A total number of 76 serum samples were evaluated for the presence of specific anti WNV antibodies using a commercial competitive ELISA kit, for the detection of anti-pr-E antibodies (ID Screen® West Nile Competition Multi-species). The results indicated specific antibodies in 32 (42.1%) out of 76 samples tested. Positive results were recorded in all four counties from which samples were collected. Our preliminary results proved the circulation of WNV in dogs in areas where the infection was previously reported in animals and humans.
西尼罗病毒(WNV)感染可在人类和动物中引起从无症状到致命脑炎的不同程度的疾病。病原是一种属于日本脑炎复合体的黄病毒。这种人畜共患病毒在自然界中作为扩增宿主在蚊子和鸟类之间维持着一种地方性动物循环。除鸟类外，许多动物都因感染而发生血清转化，以前的研究表明，狗可能被认为是西尼罗河病毒的哨兵。研究该病毒的重要性是由于其人畜共患性、主动监测的可能性有限以及在人类和动物群体中存在感染的实时警报。该研究的目的是证明和估计在有人类和动物确诊病例的区域内狗的血清转化。使用商用竞争性ELISA试剂盒检测抗pr- e抗体(ID Screen®West Nile Competition Multi-species)，评估76份血清样本是否存在特异性抗西尼罗河病毒抗体。结果显示，76个样本中有32个(42.1%)存在特异性抗体。在采集样本的所有四个县均记录了阳性结果。我们的初步结果证明，在以前报告动物和人类感染的地区，狗中存在西尼罗河病毒的传播。

Improving sperm parameters with a role in fertilization and keeping them as long as possible at optimal levels is still a current requirement for frozen-thawed semen. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of an artificial insemination media (M) and prostatic fluid (PF), post thawing, on dog sperm motility parameters. The sperm rich fraction from nine dog ejaculates was cryopreserved. After thawing, three experimental variants were carried out: 1) semen diluted 1:1 with CaniPlus Enhance–media 2) with the PF and 3) semen without any addition. Samples were incubated at 37°C and sperm motility parameters were assessed after 10, 25, 40 and 50 minutes. Samples supplemented with the insemination media recorded the highest values of total motility, progressive motility and sperm velocity throughout incubation. Addition of PF had a negative effect on the total and progressive motility values and caused a slight increase in velocity.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain an important concern in veterinary practice. The purpose of this work was to determine the SSIs rate in the Surgery Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Timișoara and to correlate SSIs incidence with surgical wound classification by degree of contamination and with the use of antimicrobial prophylaxis and / or applied therapy. Records of all animals operated on between 2007 and 2017 were closely checked for development of postoperative wound infection and were reviewed. The rate of surgical site infection was 0.77%, and by categories was 0.70% in clean surgeries, 0.15% in clean-contaminated surgeries, 1.76% in contaminated surgeries, and 1.08% in infected surgeries. Baseline information for SSIs surveillance in our surgical clinic and for comparison with other studies was defined. SSIs frequency in companion animals in our service is comparable with the frequency observed in another studies.

The present study was conducted to survey about sero-epidemiological status of Newcastle disease (ND), Infectious bronchitis (IB) and Infectious bursal disease (IBD) on Algerian broiler chicken (30 flocks/1200 sera) using ELISA method and to assess the influence of some risk factors related to each disease. Among all investigated flocks, ND was the most seroprevalent disease (63.33%); however, IB and IBD showed less serological positivity (40% and 16.66% respectively). For ND, Cobb 500 Flocks were significantly more seropositive by 78% (p = 0.025) than other strains. Nevertheless, flocks with good hygiene were significantly less seropositive to ND by 26% (p = 0.022). For IB, the risk of seropositivity was significantly lower in spring by 40% (p = 0.036). Although, flocks with higher density or with more than 30 days old were more seropositive respectively by 47% (p = 0.041) and 45% (p = 0.019). At last, when broiler chicken were not boosted by IBD vaccine, flocks appeared to be more seropositive by 48% (p = 0.047); especially in spring by 45% (p = 0.048); or in farms with poor hygiene by 65% (p = 0.004); however, more than flocks 30 days old flocks were less seropositive by 30% (p = 0.009).

Among all investigated flocks, ND was the most seroprevalent disease (63.33%); however, IB and IBD showed less serological positivity (40% and 16.66% respectively). For ND, Cobb 500 Flocks were significantly more seropositive by 78% (p = 0.025) than other strains. Nevertheless, flocks with good hygiene were significantly less seropositive to ND by 26% (p = 0.022). For IB, the risk of seropositivity was significantly lower in spring by 40% (p = 0.036). Although, flocks with higher density or with more than 30 days old were more seropositive respectively by 47% (p = 0.041) and 45% (p = 0.019). At last, when broiler chicken were not boosted by IBD vaccine, flocks appeared to be more seropositive by 48% (p = 0.047); especially in spring by 45% (p = 0.048); or in farms with poor hygiene by 65% (p = 0.004); however, more than flocks 30 days old flocks were less seropositive by 30% (p = 0.009).","PeriodicalId":9470,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.
