the protein profiles of different iranian clinical isolats of dermatophytes (microsporum and trichophyton) were compared bv sds polyacrilamide ge! electrophoresis. although some of the protein patterns were common in both genuses, there were some genus specific protein profiles. abo within the species variety of distinct protein were profiles obtained. protein patterns can therefore distinguish...

we aimed to investigate igg antibody levels specific to toxocara canis (t. canis), a parasite which subsists in dog’s intestine, on serum samples obtained from patients with chronic urticaria (cu) to evaluate effective risk in cu etiopathogenesis.in this study, 73 patients diagnosed with cu and 109 healthy individuals as control group, were included. various factors such as sex, age, education ...

An epidemiological study of Babesia canis in dogs in Nigeria was performed. Four hundred blood samples collected from dogs in Nigeria were investigated using nested PCR and sequence analysis. On nested PCR screening, nine samples (2.3%) produced a band corresponding to a 698-bp fragment indicative of B. canis infection. Sequence analysis of the PCR products identified eight samples (2.0%) as B....

Aim: A study on the clinical and biochemical parameters of Nigerian dogs experimentally infected with Babesia canis was conducted. Materials and Methods: A total of ten naive dogs of both sex and aged between 6 months to 1 year, were used for the study. They were divided into two groups of five eachA (control) and B (infected). Dogs in group B were infected with 1ml of Babesia canis positive in...

Eosinophils are multifunctional cells that have cytotoxic proinflammatory activities and stimulate CD4+ T-cells in experimental models of allergy and parasitic infections. Eosinophils, when exposed to antigens, are activated, expressing the CD38/CD69 molecules and exhibited increased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II), CD80 and CD86, suggesting they play a role upon Toxocar...

BACKGROUND Frequent exposure of Grenadian dogs to Rhipicephalus sanguineus results in Anaplasma platys, and Ehrlichia canis seroreactivity. During elective surgeries, substantial intraoperative hemorrhage occurs in some seroreactive dogs. OBJECTIVES To assess hemostatic parameters and bleeding tendencies as well as prevalence of PCR positivity in apparently healthy A. platys and E. canis sero...

Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm xác định những đặc điểm và phương pháp chẩn đoán hiệu quả bệnh Ehrlichiosis do Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) gây ra trên chó. Tổng số 151 mẫu máu thu thập từ con chó nghi nhiễm E. canis. Mẫu bằng kit canis-Ab, đồng thời kiểm tra sự diện của phôi dâu tế bào bạch cầu nhuộm tiêu bản đếm lượng tiểu cầu. Kết cho thấy có 103/151 (68,21%) dương tính với canis-Ab. Tình trạng...

Brucella canis infection is an important cause of late-term abortion in pregnant bitches. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to B. canis-induced abortion are unknown, but heavily infected trophoblasts are consistently observed. As trophoblasts responses to other pathogens contribute to placental inflammation leading to abortion, the aim of the present study was to characterize the cytoki...

Background Brucella canis is a pathogenic bacterium that causes brucellosis in dogs, and its zoonotic potential has been increasing in recent years. B. canis is a rare source of human brucellosis in China, where Brucella melitensis has been the major pathogen associated with human brucellosis outbreaks. In late 2011, a case of a B. canis infection was detected in a human patient in Zhejiang Pro...
