In-vitro assessment of differential cytokine gene expression in response to infections with Egyptian classic and variant strains of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus
In this study, expression of immune related genes (IL1b, IL4, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL18, IFNα and IFNγ) after infecting chicken macrophage cell line (HD11) and chicken peripheral blood Mononuclear cells (PBMC) with a classic and a variant strains was assayed using quantitative reverse-transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction assays (qRT-PCR). In HD11, the variant strain induced higher levels of IL1b and IL8 at 6hours post infection (hpi), IL4 at 24 / 48hpi and IFNα at 48hpi than the classic strain. Conversely, the classic strain induced about 10-fold increase of IFNγ at 24 and 48hpi and the virus replicated at high...

Iodoacetate and allogenous cartilage particles as models for arthritis induction in equine
Publication date: Available online 4 December 2014 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Ahmed Elmesiry , Magdi Seleim , David Cullis-Hill Experimental models of osteoarthritis (OA) have been widely developed in different animal species, because of the high incidence of osteoarthritis diseases in humans and animals. To date, no ideal OA animal model has been reported. The present study compare different osteoarthritis models to determine which one is suitable for inducing experimental equine OA. Fifteen donkeys were divided into three equal groups (n =5). The radio carpal joints ...

Diagnosis of Fasciola infection by SDS–PAGE eluted excretory secretory (ES) protein fractions using dot-ELISA
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2014 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): M.A. Sabry , E.S. Taher , F.A. Narmeen , A.M. Mahgoub Fascioliasis is now recognized as an emerging zoonotic disease in Egypt. Diagnosis in suspected patients still needs some degree of accuracy. In the present study, three Fasciola gigantica execratory secretory (ES) protein bands of molecular weight (MW) ranging from 14 to 20kDa, 25 to 32kDa and 45 to 65kDa were eluted after fractionation of the parasite antigen using SDS–PAGE. The extracted kDa protein bands were concentrated and evalua...

The recognition of LpxC inhibitors as potential antibiotics could revolutionise the management of sepsis in veterinary patients if their unknown biological properties are widely evaluated in suitable animal models
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2014 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Saul Chemonges Current studies continue to show that UDP-3-O-((R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetyl glucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) inhibitors such as pyridone methylsulfone hydroxymate 1 and 2a (LpxC-2) downregulate the lethal effects of sepsis initiated by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGNB) by curtailing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis in murine models. Sepsis initiated by MDRGNB is a leading cause of shock and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in intensive care un...

Effect of incremental levels of crude degummed canola oil on milk progesterone, plasma luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones of primiparous Holstein–Friesian cows in a pasture-based system
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2014 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): John R. Otto , Bunmi S. Malau-Aduli , Alexandra Rao , Iain J. Clarke , Aduli Enoch O. Malau-Aduli Dietary supplementation of lactating cows with fat can alter the profiles of key reproductive hormones and boost postpartum energy balance. However, published data under Australian pasture-based dairy production conditions are scanty and inconsistent. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether dietary inclusion of crude degummed canola oil (CDCO) at incremental levels for e...

Evaluation and use of a serological assay for the detection of antibodies to Lawsonia intracellularis in swine
Publication date: Available online 3 December 2014 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Ronaldo L. Magtoto , Anuradha Vegi , Chong Wang , John K. Johnson , Sheela Ramamoorthy Porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE) is a common and economically important gastro-intestinal disease of swine caused by the intracellular bacterium, Lawsonia intracellularis. Conventional tests to detect antibody responses to L. intracellularis include the immuno-peroxidase monolayer assay (IPMA), immuno-fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and a lipopolysaccharide ELISA (LPS-ELISA). These tests are not c...
