Abstract

Thirty dogs (< 1 year) which reported to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, State Veterinary Hospital and City Veterinary clinic, Ibadan between October 2023 and February 2024 and had clinical signs of depression, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and fever were tested for canine parvovirus-2 by rapid antigen test and confirmed by PCR. Clinical signs (CS) presumptively diagnosed and CPV positive antigen tested dogs were recruited. A 13.33% infectivity rate was recorded in 4-weekolds and 20% in adult dogs between 7 and 12 months of age contrary to belief   of parvoviral enteritis in dogs above 6 weeks. A combination of clinical signs in 28 of 30 dogs, 93.3% (95% CI: 77.9-98.2%, p ≤ 0.9918), were positive for CPV-2, and laboratory markers (LM) including leukopenia seen in 90% of CPV infected and thrombocytopenia observed in 100% of CPV infected dogs (95% CI: 88.4 - 100.0%, p ≤ 1.000) were confirmed positive for CPE, against 100.0% antigen detection (95% CI: 88.4 - 100.0%, p ≤ 1.000) in CPV infected. Therefore, the Clinical Signs and Laboratory Markers (CSLM) method for diagnosing CPE competes favorably with rapid antigen detection of Canine Parvovirus-2. The CSLM method can be explored as an alternate diagnostic tool in resource limited environments.

Abstract

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases in small ruminants; however, a comprehensive assessment comparing systemic and local pulmonary oxidative status in naturally infected Nigerian indigenous sheep is lacking. This study evaluated oxidative parameters in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from 210 sheep, including healthy controls and animals with naturally occurring pneumonia. Samples were analyzed for total protein, enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione transferase, superoxide dismutase), non-enzymatic antioxidants (reduced glutathione, vitamin C), and oxidative stress markers (myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide). In pneumonic sheep, serum and BALF levels of glutathione peroxide, glutathione transferase, and superoxide dismutase were significantly reduced, whereas levels of myeloperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide were markedly increased. Malondialdehyde showed mild elevation. The most significant oxidative disturbances were observed in bronchopneumonia, bronchointerstitial pneumonia, and granulomatous pneumonia. These results demonstrate a pronounced oxidative imbalance in both the systemic and pulmonary compartments of sheep with pneumonia. Therefore, this study provides novel evidence supporting the integration of antioxidant therapy and targeted nutritional management into standard care protocols to mitigate oxidative damage and improve outcomes in pneumonic sheep.
