BACKGROUND: Hip Dysplasia is a frequent orthopedic disease that is characterized by early joint sublux- ation. The DARthroplasty technique is a two-part process that involves applying bone graft to increase the femoral head coverage with a low morbidity rate and the long term is known results. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to investigate the radiograph...

canine parvovirus type 2 (cpv-2) is one of the most common viruses responsible for acute hemorrhagic enteritis in dogs. a rapid and accurate diagnosis of cpv-2 infection is especially important in kennels in order to isolate infected dogs. the aim of the present study was to compare two laboratory tests i.e., polymerase change reaction (pcr) and immunochromatography assay (ica) most commonly us...

To examine outbreaks of mange in raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) with respect to population density, we analyzed camera trap videos, and isolated mites from raccoon dog carcasses. In a camera trapping survey, we categorized the skin condition of raccoon dogs, and used a number of independent videos to calculate the relative abundance index (RAI). The RAI of raccoon dogs with alopecia in...

Tallgrass prairie once occupied 67.6 million hectares in the North American Midwest but less than 0.1% remains today. Consisting of more than 2200 ha, Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge (NSNWR) was established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the 5217 ha Walnut Creek watershed in Jasper County, Iowa. Large tracts of land are being converted from row crop agriculture to native prairie and...

A novel coronavirus (SCoV) is the etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SCoV-like viruses were isolated from Himalayan palm civets found in a live-animal market in Guangdong, China. Evidence of virus infection was also detected in other animals (including a raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides) and in humans working at the same market. All the animal isolates retain a ...

PURPOSE A new rabies vaccine for animals, including raccoon dogs, in Korea is needed to eradicate rabies infection. In this study, we constructed two recombinant adenoviruses expressing the glycoprotein or nucleoprotein of the rabies virus (RABV). We then investigated the safety and immunogenicity of these strains in raccoon dogs, depending on inoculation route. MATERIALS AND METHODS Recombin...

Cryptosporidium spp. is a protozoal parasite that can cause significant gastrointestinal diseases in humans and animals. Those parasites infection, especially young immunosuppressed animals many mammals, poultry, reptiles, humans, Localised the digestive system, epithelial cells threaten human animal health with their zoonotic properties. The study's material consisted of 200 dogs different bre...

although there are many evidences regard to the relationship between serum thyroid hormones, cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoproteins in different animals, but there are limited references in dogs. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between thyroid hormones and concentrations of serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles, and also to detect relationship between the measured para...

purpose: evaluation of humoral and cellular immune responses of naturally infected dogs against type i (rcpb) (recombinant cycsteine proteinase b), and ii (rcpa) (recombinant cycsteine proteinase a) recombinant cysteine proteinases and c-terminal extension (cte) of leishmania infantum (l. infantum). materials and methods: in this study, fourteen infected dogs (7 with symptoms, 7 asymptomatics)...

background: toxocara canis is one of the most frequent small intestinal helminths of dogs with zoonotic importance through which the soil is contaminated with the eggs through the fecal excretion. objectives: this study was carried out to determine t. canis infection in dogs and soil of public parks of piranshahr city using fecal examination. methods: in the present study, a total of 150 feces ...
