The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Nuclear transfer from adult somatic cells is an advanced reproductive biotechnology. This technique can be applied in animal production for producing a high genetically identical copy for endangered species conservation and for therapeutic cloning for human medicine. Our three-year preliminary study indicates the possibility of somatic cell cloning by using the rabbit as model of technical development. Later, interspecies cloning in wild cats and domestic cats was performed successfully in terms of cloned embryo production. Meanwhile, goat cloning served as the model for farm animals.

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Florfenicol (FF) and Chloramphenicol (CAP) were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against 102 Vibrio isolates from clinical cases. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for both antimicrobials was ≤ 8 μg/ml suggesting that all of the tested isolates were susceptible to both antimicrobials. The observed MIC range of FF (0.5-4.0 μg/ml) was more potent than that of CAP (0.5-8.0 μg/ml). The activity of both antimicrobials was not substantially influenced by the addition of sea water (5 ppt salinity) to the test system. When considering the best type of antimicrobial for food producing animals and in vitro antivibrio activity, FF …

The Zoonotic Potential Of Enterocytozoon Bieneusi In Thailand, Mathirut Mungthin, Ittisak Subrungruang, Saovanee Leelayoova

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidia that causes disease in immunocompromised hosts, especially in AIDS patients. E. bieneusi has been reported in a wide range of animals, including domestic, wild and farm animals. Using molecular typing and phylogenetic analysis, the zoonotic potential of E. bieneusi to cause disease is indeed a threat. Transmission from animals to humans should be investigated and whether it occurs naturally, before we can address the whole subject of zoonotic transmission of E. bieneusi infection.

Relationships Between The Immune System And Stress Reactivity In Pig: Visualizing The Immuno-Neuroendocrine Framework In Action, Sanipa Suradhat Mar 2006

Relationships Between The Immune System And Stress Reactivity In Pig: Visualizing The Immuno-Neuroendocrine Framework In Action, Sanipa Suradhat

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Activation of the immune system is regulated through several mechanisms, within the system itself and by other body systems, in order to maintain disease resistance, and prevent immune-mediated disorders within the host. It is well accepted that the immunological, physiological, behavioral, and psychological state of an animal are closely linked and the factors affecting one feature of the network can influence the rest of the system.In recent years, our understanding of the interactions between the neuroendocrine network (i.e. the hypothalamicp tuitary- adrenal axis, HPA) and immune-mediated inflammatory reactions has expanded enormously. This article outlines the nature of the immuno-neuroendocrine network …
