BACKGROUND Animal acariasis is one of the important veterinary skin diseases. Chemical drugs have been widely used to treat and control this kind of disease. But many chemicals control could increase resistance in target species, toxicity and environmental hazards. We found that the 9-oxo-10, 11-dehydroageraphorone (euptox A) extracted from E. adenophorum has strong toxicity against P. cuniculi...

: Varicella, or chickenpox, is a highly contagious disease transmitted by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) has been defined as of at least 30 dB over three frequencies on audiogram within days and with an uncertain cause. Deafness caused varicella-zoster occasionally occurred in Ramsey hunter syndrome but associated chickenpox rare. We pres...

Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) is an important fruit tree in East Asia. ‘Nanko’, the primary cultivar of apricots, usually suffers from scab, a disease caused by Venturia carpophila. However, there have been few reports on phenotypic variation scab resistance/susceptibility and underlying genetic factors. In this study, we investigated severity naturally occurring scabs based lesions 108 access...

In recent decades, deep-learning dependent fruit disease detection and classification techniques have evinced outstanding results in technologically advanced horticulture investigation. Due to the comparatively limited image processing capabilities of edge computing devices, implementing deep learning methods actual field scenarios is currently difficult. The use intelligent machines contempora...

Clinical signs, postmortem and histopathological lesions in sheep suffering from sheep pox were evaluated. Animals were selected purposively from Yemeze Gera Midir, Kalu and Kutaber district veterinary clinics, Ethiopia. Relevant data and samples were collected for the period from November, 2007 to December, 2009. Of the total 3263 sheep examined, 49.5% (1615) showed skin lesions, suppressed ap...

PURPOSE To detect whether chitin and sepia ink sponge (CS) can promote wound healing and elevate impact of CS on phagocytosis ability of macrophages. METHODS Forty-eight rats were assigned to four groups: Normal group (Normal), negative control group (Con), chitin and sepia ink sponge group (CS) and positive control Surgicel Gauze(r) group (SG). Deep second-degree burn model was created in ra...

Twin brothers aged 9-years were seen over a period of 5-years and were diagnosed and treated as atopic dermatitis. They came to our attention due to repeated exacerbations of dermatitis and multiple skin abscesses. Physical examination showed that both the brothers had coarse facial appearance with prominent brow and deep-set eyes (Figure 1). There were papulopustular lesions all over the body ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of acupuncture on wound healing after soft tissue or orthopaedic surgery in dogs. METHODS 29 dogs were submitted to soft tissue and/or orthopaedic surgeries. Five dogs had two surgical wounds each, so there were totally 34 wounds in the study. All owners received instructions for post operative care as well as antibiotic and pain t...

Viral Characteristics Large, enveloped (some virions contain double envelope), double-stranded DNA viruses (see Fig. 10.1). The capsid / nucleocapsid is brick-shaped to ovoid containing the genome and lateral bodies (function unknown). The large complex genome consists of a single, linear molecule of double stranded DNA that codes for approximately 200 proteins. The ends are ligated to each oth...
