peptic ulcer is a very common disorder in horse race and foals. in the present research possible relationship between gastric ulcer and the prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia were studied in two different horse race. in this respect, 13 caspian miniature horses and 8 arab horses were studied. gastric ulcers and cardiac arrhythmias were diagnosed in 13 horses (62%) and 12 (57%) out of 211 horses, ...

SYNOPSIS One hundred infectious mononucleosis and the same number of non-infectious mononucleosis sera were studied to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of horse erythrocytes in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. Titres of horse agglutinins in infectious mononucleosis sera ranged from 28 to 7,168 with a geometric mean of 550, whereas the corresponding sheep agglutinin titres rang...

Normal horse and guinea pig sera contain the glycoprotein inhibitor alpha 2-macroglobulin, which inhibits the infectivity and hemagglutinating activity of influenza A viruses of the H2 and H3 subtypes. In the current study, the presence of inhibitors of influenza A virus in pig and rabbit sera was investigated. Variants of influenza virus type A/Los Angeles/2/87(H3N2) that were resistant to hor...

Experiments were performed to clarify the circumstances under which a rat fibroblast-like cell line proliferated in culture or when injected into syngeneic hosts. Rat FR3T3 and SV40FR3T3 cells in culture multiply exponentially at comparable rates regardless of the horse serum concentration in the culture medium. The concentration of horse serum in the medium determines the length of the exponen...

PURPOSE To study associations between cat, dog and horse allergens in day care centres and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) in serum, lung function (FEV1) and dyspnoea in day care centre staff. Totally 62 subjects, all females, from five Swedish day care centres participated (participation rate 90%). METHODS Dust was collected by vacuum cleaning and ...

collected for routine veterinary purposes; and 861 samples from 697 horses, 82 donkeys, and 82 mules in Spain. Because the reactivity of equid serum against MERS-CoV has not been investigated, we established a 2-stage algorithm for serologic testing that did not involve the determination of reactivity cutoff values. The screening stage involved testing of all serum samples by using a previously...

A 3-year-old Quarter Horse filly presented with an acute history of right hindlimb lameness. Examination the hind found moderate effusion in medial femorotibial joint and a consistent grade 4/5 Ultrasonographic evaluation revealed disruption synovial membrane recess capsule. Arthroscopy identified tear capsule at attachment to collateral ligament. Treatment autologous conditioned serum, rest fi...
