The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A seminal vesicle carcinoma-in-situ was diagnosed as an incidental finding during histopathological evaluation of necropsy tissues in a 9 year old intact male Indian origin Rhesus macaque. The animal had been used in a series of infectious disease studies and in a terminal renal transplantation experiment over the course of its life at the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences. Diagnosis was proffered by a board certified (ACVP) veterinary pathologist due to the microscopic appearance of the neoplasm and confirmed using immunohistochemistry. This report represents the first description of a seminal vesicle carcinoma-in-situ in a non-human primate.

Screening For Bacteriocin-Like Antimicrobial Activity Against Shrimp Pathogenic Vibrios And Molecular Identification Of Marine Bacteria From Otter Clam Lutraria Philippinarum, Thu Thuy Pham, Thi Hong Nhi Ho, Van Duy Nguyen

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study aimed to isolate marine bacteria from otter clam Lutraria philippinarum, screen for bacteriocin-like antimicrobial activity against shrimp pathogenic vibrios and identify these bacteria by molecular methods. Among a total of 128 bacterial isolates, 19 (15%) were found to produce bacteriocins against at least one of three shrimp pathogenic Vibrio strains. The highest bacteriocin production activity was shown by six strains, named H9, H18, H51, H61, H77 and H108. The antimicrobial activity of crude bacteriocin extracts from these strains was completely inactivated after proteinase K and trypsin treatment, heat-labile but relatively stable at pH 4-10.

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A 9 – year – old, 6.2 kg female Shitsu dog with a repeated history of pododemodicosis was presented at the animal hospital. The dog had been previously treated with miticides such as ivermectin injections and oral milbemycin oxime, but the clinical signs recurred every time after the therapy had been stopped. Microscopic examination of skin samples from the dog revealed the presence of Demodex canis. A spot – on formulation composed of 2.5% moxidectin and 10% imidacloprid was applied to the dog weekly. The dog’s skin lesions decreased by week 3 and the lesions completely resolved by week 6. …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Lactococcosis caused by Lactococcus garvieae is an increasing problem in aquaculture. The current study is, to our knowledge, the first record of L. garvieae isolated from giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) in Thailand. These bacteria were isolated from giant freshwater prawns that were either cultured or in their natural environments in Phatthalung and Songkhla, provinces of southern Thailand. Based on conventional and rapid identification systems, as well as genetic and phylogenetic characterizations, the bacteria were identified as L. garvieae. An infectivity trial indicated that all L. garvieae isolates were pathogenic bacteria. Moreover, giant freshwater prawns experimentally infected with …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Currently, the pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) 2009 influenza A virus and its reassortant pandemic H1N1 influenza (rH1N1) viruses have been circulating in pigs population in many countries around the world including Thailand. Many organizations and researchers have raised some concerns about interspecies transmission, particularly in aquatic avian species including domestic ducks commingling in backyard farming. In order to elucidate the pathogenesis of those viruses in domestic ducks, the study on pH1N1and rH1N1 recently isolated from pigs was conducted to understand the susceptibility, clinical signs, viral shedding and lesions in experimental ducks. Twenty-one 6-week-old influenza A virus negative ducks were divided into …

Pancreas Morphology And Duct System Of Swamp Buffaloes (Bubalus Bubalis), Tilladit Rung-Ruangkijkrai, Wuthichai Klomkleaw

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Swamp buffaloes have been important to Thai countryfolk for centuries. However, it’s meat consumption has increased continuously. Since meat and offal of cattle are very similar, pancreas might be used to differentiate buffalo offal from cow offal. Pancreases from 10 adult buffaloes of both sexes were obtained and studied anatomically. Studies revealed that, unlike human and other animals, buffalo pancreas had a unique F-shape with left lobe, right lobe, body, and uncinate process. There was no main pancreatic duct. Only one accessory pancreatic duct was found open into minor duodenal papilla similar to those of cow. Furthermore, unlike human and …


Importance Of Backfat Thickness To Reproductive Performance In Female Pigs, Atthaporn Roongsitthichai, Padet Tummaruk Jun 2014

Importance Of Backfat Thickness To Reproductive Performance In Female Pigs, Atthaporn Roongsitthichai, Padet Tummaruk

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Backfat in pigs consists of water, collagen, and lipid. Apart from age, body weight, and number of estrus expression, backfat thickness is one of the significant parameters to consider when selecting female pigs into breeding herds since it dominates a number of reproductive performances, e.g. puberty attainment, total piglets born (TB), and farrowing rate. Besides, backfat is one of the significant sources of hormones related to puberty attainment, such as leptin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and progesterone (P4). Evaluation of backfat thickness is majorly performed by an A-mode ultrasonography at P2 position; it provides more accurate body condition than visual …
