Outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Egypt: Molecular epidemiology, evolution and cardiac biomarkers prognostic significance
This study reports successive outbreaks of FMDV that occurred in Egypt during 2015–2016 and describes the dynamics of two outbreaks in addition to the use of cardiac biomarkers in the diagnosis of FMD-related myocarditis in calves and its clinical relevance. Serum cardiac troponin1 (cTn I) and creatinine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) were measured. Mean serum cardiac troponin1 (cTn I) showed significant increase (P < 0.001) in FMDV-infected calves. The increase in fatal and recovered cases was (2.794 ± 0.502 ng/mL) and (1.196 ± 0.443 ng/mL), respectively, compared to the healthy control cases (0...

Publication date: Available online 9 February 2018 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Abdelbaset E. Abdelbaset, Mostafa F.N. Abushahba, Maha I. Hamed, Mohamed S. Rawy Egypt is an endemic area with brucellosis, so wherever herd problem associated abortion is present, brucellosis should be suspected, and its sero-diagnosis is needed. The present study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of brucellosis in sheep and their contact humans in Assiut and El-Minya Governorates where a history of abortion in sheep was the chief complaint of the farmers; besides; the appearance of signs ...

Cytokines, growth factors and macromolecules as mediators of implantation in mammalian species
Publication date: Available online 19 December 2017 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Kabir A. Raheem Implantation is one of the most critical steps in mammalian reproduction and implantation failure constitutes a major cause of infertility in both animals and humans. The mechanism of implantation is exclusively under the control of ovarian steroids progesterone and oestrogen whose actions are mediated in a complex phenomenon that involves a number of cytokines and growth factors. According to a plethora of literature on implantation in mammalian species, prominent of these cytok...

Hematological and plasma chemistry values for the African rock python (Python sebae)
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2017 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Henry O. Jegede, Temidayo O. Omobowale, Babatunde S. Okediran, Afolabi A. Adegboye Hematology and plasma biochemistry parameters are useful in the assessment and management of threatened and endangered species. Although reference values are readily available for many mammalian species, reference values for snakes are lacking for most species. We determined hematology and plasma biochemistry values for captive African rock pythons (Python sebae) and studied the effects of age, sex, season and h...

Molecular biological tools applied for identification of mastitis causing pathogens
Publication date: Available online 27 October 2017 Source:International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Author(s): Amr El-Sayed, Walid Awad, Nadra-Elwgoud Abdou, Hugo Castañeda Vázquez The molecular diagnostic tools became the gold standard of mastitis diagnosis in the last few years. They enable rapid, qualitative, quantitative and large scale diagnosis. In addition to their role in diagnosis, they can identify pathogens at the subspecies level which is necessary for the epidemiological studies. They are increasingly used in mastitis control programs through identification of suitable candidates for vac...

Gross and histopathologic findings in sheep with plastic bags in the rumen
The objective of this study was to evaluate the gross and histo-pathological lesions caused by plastic bags in the rumen of sheep. Sixteen (16) castrated, one-year old Dorper sheep were used for the study. The animals were divided into 4 groups each consisting of 4 sheep (n=4). Three of the groups had 129g, 258g and 387g of plastic bags, respectively, introduced into the rumen through rumenotomy, while the fourth group, without implants served as control. All the animals were observed daily for 6weeks following implantation. All animals were euthanized on day 42 and subjected to gross and histopathological examination. Gro...
