Backgrounds and Aims: Mastitis is a mammalian disease which is considered important due to its potential economic damages. Trueperella pyogenesis is one of the important opportunistic pathogens of the mammary glands of cattle. This bacterium can produce acute mastitis infection in dairy cattle. In fact, this bacterium has several virulence genes which contribute to its pathogenicity. Therefore,...

A 19-year-old captive male waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) exhibited traumatic pericarditis at necropsy. The animal weighed 182 kg at necropsy and revealed no remarkable findings in external observation. Severe pericardial adhesions with fibrosis, hepato-diaphragmatic adhesions, straw-colored ascites and hepatosplenomegaly were observed upon examining the internal organs. Perforations made by ...

BACKGROUND Trueperella pyogenes is a commensal and opportunistic pathogen that normally causes mastitis, liver abscesses and pneumonia of economically important livestock. To develop efficacious and potent vaccine against T. pyogenes, chimeric gene DNA vaccines were constructed and encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles (pPCFN-CpG-CS-NPs). RESULTS The pPCFN-CpG-CS-NPs consists of the plo, cbp...

Cranial/intracranial abscess disease is an emerging source of significant mortality for male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Most cases of cranial/intracranial abscess disease are associated with infection by the opportunistic pathogen Trueperella pyogenes although the relationship between the prevalence of the bacteria and occurrence of disease is speculative. We examined 5,612 hun...

Four Hereford heifers of approximately 18 months age presented nodular formations in the uterus detected by transrectal palpation. This pathology had been previously diagnosed herd, which led to early discarding 1-2% per year. Post mortem examination a severely affected heifer revealed multiple abscesses pelvic and abdominal cavity associated with uterus, serosa forelimbs, liver. Microscopicall...

Abstract Cerebral abscesses are occasionally seen in animals, however rare dogs. Among the pyogenic bacteria causing cerebral Trueperella pyogenes is relatively scarce. In this report, a case of T. induced abscess West Highland White Terrier was presented with histopathological and bacteriological findings. Two foci located at level thalamus, frontal temporal lobes were described on necropsy. S...

Bu çalışmada, ceylanda (Gazella subgutturosa) Trueperella pyogenes ve Candida albicans'la ilişkili nekrotik-purulent bronkopnömoni parasitik pnömoninin makroskobik, histopatolojik bakteriyolojik bulgularını sunulmaktadır. Şanlıurfa Kızılkuyu Yaban Hayatı Koruma Alanı'nda ölü bulunan 2 erkek ceylan; nekropsi için Harran Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Patoloji Anabilim Dalı'na getirildi. Nekrop...
