Use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy for rapid and accurate identification of Yeasts isolated from human and animals
Publication date: June 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): M. Taha , M. Hassan , S. Essa , Y. Tartor Rapid and accurate identification of yeast is increasingly important to stipulate the appropriate therapy thus reducing morbidity and mortality related to yeast infections. Vibrational spectroscopic techniques (infrared (IR) and Raman) could provide potential alternatives to conventional typing methods, because they constitute a rapid, inexpensive and highly specific spectroscopic fingerprint through-which microorganism can be identified. The present stu...

Detection of Saprolegnia parasitica in eggs of angelfish Pterophyllum scalare (Cuvier–Valenciennes) with a history of decreased hatchability
Publication date: June 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): Alaa Eldin Eissa , Mohamed Abdelsalam , Nagwa Tharwat , Manal Zaki Mass mortalities of angelfish eggs accompanied with very low hatchability were reported in a private ornamental fish farm in Egypt. Examined eggs were badly damaged by water mould that was decisively confirmed as Saprolegnia species. Presumptive identification of the ten retrieved isolates was initially suggestive of Saprolegnia species. Mycological investigations have revealed that only 7 out of 10 isolates were capable of produ...

Streptococcus dysgalactiae: An emerging pathogen of fishes and mammals
In conclusion, the current research based review has emphasized the current knowledge gap in epidemiology and control of fish GCSD. To bridge this current gap, a swift future development of high tech/accurate molecular research is highly needed to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of GCSD.

Estimation of Lead and Cadmium residual levels in chicken giblets at retail markets in Ismailia city, Egypt
Publication date: December 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Soad A. Ismail , Said K. Abolghait Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) are environmental contaminants of food which have deleterious cumulative effect on human health. Using flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS), the concentrations of Pb and Cd were estimated in 60 samples of chicken giblets comprising of broiler livers, gizzards and hearts collected randomly from retail markets in Ismailia city, Egypt. The greatest Pb concentrations were found in liver samples (0.8762±0.2089ppm), whereas gizzar...

Molecular characterization of infectious bronchitis viruses isolated from broiler and layer chicken farms in Egypt during 2012
This study indicates existence of two variant groups of IBV circulating in Egypt during 2012. Group I was similar but distinguishable from Israeli variant IS/885 and group II was related to 4/91 and CR/88121 vaccine strains. There was no geographical link between the 2 groups as they were distributed all over the country. These findings necessitate the need to revise the vaccination programs and control measures for IBV.

Ontogenic development of immunoglobulins (Igs)-positive lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs of native chickens of Bangladesh
Publication date: December 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Md. Nabiul Islam , Mohammed Zahirul Islam Khan , Mir Rubayet Jahan , Ryutaro Fujinaga , Koh Shinoda The first appearance, distribution and frequency of immunoglobulins (Igs)-positive lymphocytes were investigated in the lymphoid organs of native chicken’s embryos from embryonic day (ED) 8 to ED 20. The tissues from the lymphoid organs were dehydrated in alcohol, cleared in xylene, embedded in different grades of paraffin and 6-micron thick sections were immunostained by the indirect immun...

Identifying some pathogenic Vibrio/Photobacterium species during mass mortalities of cultured Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) from some Egyptian coastal provinces
Publication date: December 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Mohammed Abdel-Aziz , Alaa Eldin Eissa , Magdy Hanna , Mahmoud Abou Okada Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahemolyticus and Photobacterium damselae subsp damselae were isolated during recurrent episodes of mass mortalities among different stages of Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). The pathogens were recovered from the external/internal lesions of a total of 320 seeds, juvenile and adult fishes from the period of February 2013 through August 2013...

Emerging of coagulase negative staphylococci as a cause of mastitis in dairy animals: An environmental hazard
Publication date: December 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Jakeen K. El-Jakee , Noha E. Aref , Alaa Gomaa , Mahmoud D. El-Hariri , Hussein M. Galal , Sherif A. Omar , Ahmed Samir In Egypt, knowledge about the coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) involved in mastitic animals is limited. CNS have emerged to be pathogens causing intramammary infections in Egyptian dairy herds. Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of CNS in dairy ruminants (cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats). A total of 884 quarter milk samples ...

Antidotal impact of extra virgin olive oil against genotoxicity, cytotoxicity and immunotoxicity induced by hexavalent chromium in rat
Publication date: December 2013 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Samah Khalil , Ashraf Awad , Yasser Elewa An in vivo study was carried out to verify whether extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) has the potential to modulate alterations resulted from exposure to hexavalent chromium (CrVI) as potassium dichromate in rats. For this purpose, CrVI was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) at a dose of 0.4mg/kg bw/day, EVOO was given orally at a dose of 300μl daily either a lone or co-treated with CrVI at the same doses, routes and duration (26days).
