Coagulation Status in Dogs Naturally Infected with Angiostrongylus vasorum

Nadja E. Sigrist, Lucienne Tritten, Claudia Kummerle-Fraune, Natalie Hofer-Inteeworn, Rahel Jud Schefer, Manuela Schnyder, Annette P. N. Kutter

Summary: Angiostrongylus vasorum infection in dogs is associated with coagulopathies, including hyperfibrinolysis. Clinical signs of bleeding were more common in hypocoagulable dogs compared to normocoagulable dogs. Hyperfibrinolysis was significantly associated with bleeding and hypocoagulability, and specific ROTEM parameters were useful in predicting this condition.

Atypical Lesions in Canine Leishmaniosis: Description of New Cases

Maria Paz Peris, Paula Ortega-Hernandez, Mariano Morales, Juan Antonio Castillo, Bernardino Moreno

Summary: This study presents three cases of dogs experimentally infected with Leishmania infantum that showed atypical lesions of canine leishmaniosis. Microscopic and parasitological studies should be performed on atypical lesions observed in Leishmania-infected and non-infected dogs, especially in endemic regions. Leishmaniosis should be considered when atypical nodular lesions are observed in dogs from non-endemic regions with a history of travel to endemic regions.

Occurrence of emerging contaminants in biosolids in northern Queensland, Australia

Ravinder Kumar, Anna Whelan, Patrick Cannon, Madoc Sheehan, Louise Reeves, Elsa Antunes

Summary: This study aimed to quantify different classes of emerging contaminants in biosolids from sewage treatment plants (STPs) across Northern Queensland, Australia. Significant variations were found in the concentrations of different contaminants, which could be explained by the characteristics of the upstream sewage network. Certain contaminants, such as heavy metals, antibiotics, PFOS, and PFOA, were identified as posing high environmental risks.

Owner Personality, Owner-Dog Attachment, and Canine Demographics Influence Treatment Outcomes in Canine Behavioral Medicine Cases

Lauren Powell, Darko Stefanovski, Carlo Siracusa, James Serpell

Summary: The study found that after veterinary clinical intervention, canine behavior problems improved, and treatment outcomes were associated with both canine and owner parameters. This suggests that behavior change in dogs can be predicted and influenced by factors related to the dog and its owner.

Animal hoarding cases in England: Implications for public health services

Justine Wilkinson, Mariyana Schoultz, Helen M. M. King, Nick Neave, Catherine Bailey

Summary: Hoarding disorder, including animal hoarding, has a significant impact on public health and animal welfare. This study explores the characteristics of animal hoarders in England and the locations where these cases occur. The findings highlight the prevalence of hoarding cases in urban, densely populated, and deprived areas. Further research is needed to develop effective case management strategies for this complex issue.

Summary: It has been found that 55-70% of infected individuals shed SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in their stool, and it can be detected in community wastewater up to 7 days before the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater may serve as an early indicator of increased community transmission.

Predicting Norovirus in England Using Existing and Emerging Syndromic Data: Infodemiology Study

Nikola Ondrikova, John P. Harris, Amy Douglas, Helen E. Hughes, Miren Iturriza-Gomara, Roberto Vivancos, Alex J. Elliot, Nigel A. Cunliffe, Helen E. Clough

Summary: This study evaluates the predictive power of existing syndromic surveillance data and emerging data sources to predict norovirus activity across different age groups and regions in England. The results show that these data sources can help predict norovirus activity, particularly factors related to vomiting, gastroenteritis, and vulnerable populations. However, the relevance of syndromic predictors varies across age groups and regions due to differences in public health practices and information-seeking behavior.

Canine circovirus: An emerging or an endemic undiagnosed enteritis virus?

Diana Gomez-Betancur, Diana S. Vargas-Bermudez, Sebastian Giraldo-Ramirez, Jairo Jaime, Julian Ruiz-Saenz

Summary: Canine Circovirus is an emerging virus that belongs to the Circoviridae family. It has been detected worldwide since its first description in 2011 and primarily infects domestic and wild canids, causing hemorrhagic enteritis in dogs. It is frequently found in coinfection with other viral agents, such as canine parvovirus type-2. The prevalence of Canine Circovirus varies across populations and countries, ranging from 1% to 30%, and further research is needed to define its epidemiological characteristics.

Usefulness of cardiac biomarker screening to detect dilated cardiomyopathy in UK Dobermanns

J. Dukes-McEwan, K. E. Garven, J. Lopez Alvarez, P. Oliveira, P. F. Motskula, R. Willis

Summary: The study assessed the efficacy of two cardiac biomarker assays in detecting Dobermann dilated cardiomyopathy, with high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin I showing higher area under the curve and sensitivity compared to N-terminal proBNP. Cardiac biomarker screening may be useful in selecting Dobermanns for further assessment by echocardiography and Holter monitoring.

Novel adenovirus associated with necrotizing bronchiolitis in a captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)

Akbar Dastjerdi, Sonja Jeckel, Hannah Davies, Jennifer Irving, Camille Longue, Charlotte Plummer, Marton Z. Vidovszky, Balazs Harrach, Julian Chantrey, Henny Martineau, Jonathan Williams

Summary: Adenoviruses are responsible for major diseases in various animal species, with deer species known to be affected by adenoviruses 1 and 2. While the former causes high fatality adenovirus hemorrhagic disease in certain deer species, the latter has been linked to fever, cough, and bleeding. Additionally, a novel deer mastadenovirus associated with necrotizing bronchiolitis in captive reindeer was identified for the first time.

Fox (Vulpes vulpes) involvement identified in a series of cat carcass mutilations

Summary: This study ruled out the involvement of a human serial cat killer, instead finding that mutilation of the cat carcasses was likely caused by postmortem scavenging by red foxes. The study highlights the value of a multidisciplinary approach in fully investigating cases of suspected human-inflicted mutilation of animals.

Summary: Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp. is economically important in chickens. This study investigated the stability of miRNA in chicken caecal content and found differential expression patterns in Eimeria-infected versus uninfected individuals. The research identified a panel of miRNA candidates that could potentially be used as non-invasive faecal markers for active caecal coccidiosis without culling.

Nfkb2 deficiency and its impact on plasma cells and immunoglobulin expression in murine small intestinal mucosa

Stamatia Papoutsopoulou, Joseph Tang, Ahmed H. Elramli, Jonathan M. Williams, Nitika Gupta, Felix I. Ikuomola, Raheleh Sheibani-Tezerji, Mohammad T. Alam, Juan R. Hernandez-Fernaud, Jorge H. Caamano, Chris S. Probert, Werner Muller, Carrie A. Duckworth, D. Mark Pritchard

Summary: NF-KB signaling pathway plays important roles in regulating cell function and immune response. In this study, we identified B cell defect and dysregulation of immunoglobulin levels in the small intestinal mucosa of Nfkb2-/- mice using transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. NF-KB2/p52 deficiency not only increases resistance to LPS-induced cell apoptosis in the small intestine, but also regulates the plasma cell population and immunoglobulin levels within the gut.
