Propagated (free-field) ultrasonic energy at a frequency of 26 kHz was used to expose aqueous suspensions of bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), fungus (Trichophyton mentagrophytes), and viruses (feline herpesvirus type 1 and feline calicivirus) to evaluate the germicidal efficacy of ultrasound. There was a significant effect of tim...

Bu çalışmada, kedilerin üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonunda Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1)’in rolünün belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışma kapsamında 45 hasta kedinin klinik muayaneleri yapılarak FHV-1 enfeksiyonu yönünden değerlendirildi. enfeksiyonunun bulgularını (hapşırma, gözyaşı ve burun akıntısı, salivasyon) gösterip aşı herhangi bir tedavi uygulanmamış 20 kedi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Kedilerden al...

Two field isolates of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) designated as 00-015 and 00-035, were obtained from cats diagnosed as feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) in Japan. To analyze the character of recent FHV-1, these two isolates and our laboratory strain C7301 were inoculated experimentally to specific-pathogen-free cats. Although all cats showed typical FVR symptoms, more severe clinical sy...

the main objective of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of bovine herpes virus type 1 and parainfluenza type 3 in a non-vaccinated population cattle in the livestock region of qazvin province. totally 504 sera were randomly collected and tested from 8 industrial dairy farms in qazvin province during march 2010-march 2011. the result of one way analysis of variance was used for th...

Chlamydophila felis and feline herpesvirus (FHV) are pathogens commonly associated with feline respiratory and ocular disease. A real-time multiplex PCR assay was developed to allow detection of these organisms, together with feline 28S ribosomal DNA, in a single tube. Of 538 ocular swab samples tested, 123 were positive for FHV, 97 were positive for C. felis, and 16 were positive for both path...
