Spillover of avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemosporidia: Plasmodium) and death of captive psittacine species
ConclusionTo the authors’ knowledge, these are the first reported cases of Plasmodium in Calyptorhynchus. We hypothesised that the maintenance of these two cockatoo species in ground level aviaries in a low‐altitude geographic zone resulted in exposure of birds to mosquito vectors of endemic avian Plasmodium. Black cockatoos roost and forage in the mid to high canopy of forests in the wild, outside the likely spatiotemporal distribution of relevant haemosporidian vectors. It is therefore likely that these birds had immunological naivety and susceptibility to infection with Plasmodium circulating in wild passerines. (So...

Temporary spontaneous regression of feline non ‐Hodgkin’s lymphoma
ConclusionSpontaneous regression (SR) of cancer is a rare occurrence and is uncommonly reported in veterinary species. To the author’s knowledge this is the first reported case of SR of non‐FeLV‐related feline, high‐grade non‐Hodgkin’s lymphoma. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Internal fixation of proximal fractures of the 2nd and 4th metacarpal and metatarsal bones using bioabsorbable screws
ConclusionThe use of bioabsorbable screws for fixation of proximal fractures of the splint bone appears to be a safe and feasible technique and may offer several advantages over the use of traditional metallic implants. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Effect of pre ‐milking teat disinfection on clinical mastitis incidence in a dairy herd in Northern Queensland, Australia
ConclusionIn this herd, PMTD increased the odds of clinical mastitis. The effectiveness of PMTD to prevent clinical mastitis in pasture‐based systems is likely to vary greatly between herds. We therefore recommend against the wholesale use of this practice on Australian farms. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Abattoir surveillance of Sarcocystis spp., Cysticercosis ovis and Echinococcus granulosus in Tasmanian slaughter sheep, 2007 –2013
ConclusionReasons for the significant between‐abattoir differences in recorded levels of ovine sarcosporidiosis and cysticercosis remain unknown, but may represent sampling bias, with subsets of slaughter sheep going to abattoirs with different tiers or access to markets. Further investigation into apparent differences, including epidemiological studies of properties with high lesion prevalence, comparing meat inspector diagnostic sensitivity, assessing the effect of line speed and tiers and market access in different abattoirs, may be useful.
