School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In swine, the most common and severe enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections are caused by strains that express K88 (F4)+ fimbriae, heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb), and enteroaggregative E. coli heat-stable toxin 1. Previous studies based on a design that involved enterotoxin genes cloned into a nontoxigenic fimbriated strain have suggested that LT but not STb plays an important role in dehydrating diarrheal disease in piglets study, we compared these two toxins in terms of importance for piglets >1 week old with a study design that involved construction of isogenic single- and double-deletion mutants and inoculation of …


Assessment Of Risk Associated With The Minnesota Proposed Plan For Split-State Status For Mycobacterium Bovis (Bovine Tuberculosis) Jun 2008

Assessment Of Risk Associated With The Minnesota Proposed Plan For Split-State Status For Mycobacterium Bovis (Bovine Tuberculosis)

Michigan Bovine Tuberculosis Bibliography and Database

In July 2005, a Minnesota beef herd tested positive for Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) and was officially declared infected with bovine tuberculosis (TB). This was the first infected herd identified since Minnesota’s Accredited Free (AF) status was obtained in 1976. Subsequent testing identified infection in white-tailed deer and several cattle herds adjacent to this index herd. In February 2008, Minnesota declared its 11th infected cattle herd, resulting in the downgrade of the entire State’s TB status to Modified Accredited (MA).
In an effort to minimize the impact of MA status to the State and producers, Minnesota initiated the …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The applications of molecular detection using nested PCR and the routine microscopic examination of ehrlichiosis were applied to 43 clinically affected dogs residing in Bangkok and Samutraprakarn. This study, performed in 2005-2006, has determined that 79.5% (31/39) of the buffy coat smears were having the ehrlichial morulae plus initial bodies found in monocytes and lymphocytes. The nested PCR was used to confirm the occurrence of ehrlichiosis after tested by morulae identification. Both tests demonstrated that neither Ehrlichia chaffeensis nor E. ewingii, the zoonotic agents of human, were found in this area. However, the prevalence of E. canis alone detected by …

Known Facts About The Epidemiology Of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy, Roberto M. C. Guedes Jun 2008

Known Facts About The Epidemiology Of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy, Roberto M. C. Guedes

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The amount of new information of the last seven years regarding Lawsonia intracellularis sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs, prevention/control based on treatment and vaccination, diagnosis and, finally, genome is amazing. Nevertheless, not much is known about the epidemiology of the disease, mainly regarding the source of infection, resistance of the bacteria in the environment and possible biological vectors that could spread the infection among farms. It was learned that as few as 1,000 to 10,000 bacteria are enough to induce infection and fecal shedding two to three weeks after inoculating susceptible pigs. It was also learned that L. intracellularis organisms can …

Transmission Of Panulirus Argus Virus 1 (Pav1) And Its Effect On The Survival Of Juvenile Caribbean Spiny Lobster, Mark J. Butler Iv, Donald C. Behringer Jr., Jeffrey D. Shields

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

The Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus, an important fisheries species, is host to Panulirus argus virus 1 (PaV1), a lethal, unclassified virus-the first found in any species of lobster-prevalent in juvenile lobsters. We describe a series of laboratory experiments aimed at assessing the likely modes of disease transmission, determining the survival of lobsters relative to each transmission pathway and identifying potential alternate hosts. Given evidence for lower prevalence of PaV1 in large lobsters, the effect of lobster size on susceptibility was also examined. Results demonstrated that PaV1 can be transmitted to juvenile lobsters via inoculation, ingestion of diseased tissue, contact …

Cafruny, Richard G. Duman, Raymond R. Rowland, Eric A. Nelson, Grace H. Wong Mar 2008

Antibiotic-Mediated Inhibition Of Porcine Reproductive And Respiratory Syndrome Virus (Prrsv) Infection: A Novel Quinolone Function Which Potentiates The Antiviral Cytokine Response In Marc-145 Cells And Pig Macrophages, William A. Cafruny, Richard G. Duman, Raymond R. Rowland, Eric A. Nelson, Grace H. Wong

Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an economically significant agent for which there currently are no effective treatments. Development of antiviral agents for PRRSV as well as many other viruses has been limited by toxicity of known antiviral compounds. In contrast, antibiotics for non-virus microbial infections have been widely useful, in part because of their acceptable toxicity in animals. We report here the discovery that the quinolone containing compound Plasmocin™, as well as the quinolones nalidixic acid and ciprofl oxacin, have potent anti-PRRSV activity in vitro. PRRSV replication was inhibited by these antibiotics in both cultured MARC-145 cells …

The Safety Evaluation Of Permethrin On Dogs When Used In A Prophylactic Dose For Ectoparasite Infection, By Measuring Serum Cholinesterase Activity, Piyarat Chansiripornchai, Pakkawan Satranarakun, Mallavee Kanoksopit, Yuthana Nisakulrat

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The safety of permethrin at a prophylactic dose for ectoparasite infection in dogs was evaluated by the measurement of cholinesterase activity (ChE). On day 0, eight healthy dogs were exposed to spot - on formulation of permethrin. The results of serum ChE activity in all the dogs which measured on day 1 and 4 after exposure to permethrin showed no significant different comparing to those before exposure. There were no clinical signs in all dogs throughout the experiment. The result suggests that using spot-on formulation of permethrin at a prophylactic dose for ectoparasite infection is safe in dogs.

Reorganisation Of Cell Cytoskeleton Of Cat Oocytes Matured In Vitro, Theerawat Tharasanit, Mongkol Techakumphu, Chainarong Lohachit

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Developmental capacity of domestic cat oocyte matured in vitro is poor when compared to that of in vivo matured oocyte. While cytoplasmic maturation of the oocytes is essentially required for embryo development, little is really known about distribution of cell components during the course of in vitro maturation (IVM). The aims of this study were to examine and to describe the changes in the distribution of microtubule and actin microfilaments in relation to stage of nuclear maturation during IVM. Cumulus oocyte complexes were matured in vitro for 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h and then labeled with immunofluorescent dyes …
