Abstract

Background: Nosocomial infections pose a major challenge not only in human hospitals but also in veterinary settings. These infections are frequently associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E). Purpose:  This study aimed to detect and characterize MRSA and ESBL-E isolated from environmental samples at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Universitas Brawijaya (VTH UB). Method: The study involved four main procedures: (1) sample isolation; (2) bacterial identification of S. aureus and Enterobacteriaceae using MacConkey agar supplemented with 1 mg/L cefotaxime (MCA + 1 mg/L); (3) antibiotic susceptibility testing and MRSA confirmation using Oxacillin Resistance Screening Agar Base (ORSAB); and (4) confirmation of ESBL production through the Double Disk Synergy Test (DDST). Results: Isolation and identification revealed S. aureus in 86.6% (13/15) of samples and Enterobacteriaceae in 26.6% (4/15). Among Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for 6.7% (1/15) and Enterobacter aerogenes for 20% (3/15). Antimicrobial resistance testing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates showed that all (13/13) were resistant to at least one antibiotic class. Resistance rates were 53.8% (7/13) to oxacillin, 92.3% (12/13) to cefoxitin, 23.0% (3/13) to tetracycline, 92.3% (12/13) to erythromycin, and 46.1% (6/13) to gentamicin. The prevalence of MRSA among environmental isolates was 46.6% (7/15), while ESBL-E prevalence was 26.6% (4/15). Conclusion: The detection of MRSA and ESBL-E in the hospital environment indicates potential zoonotic and hospital associated infection risks in veterinary facilities. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthened infection control practices and provide a baseline for broader surveillance across veterinary hospitals.

Abstract

Background: Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative, short rod-shaped, non–spore forming bacterium that acts as a pathogen in both humans and animals. It plays a major role in mastitis, one of the most challenging and economically important diseases affecting dairy animals worldwide. Purpose: This study aimed to isolate multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli from milk samples collected from dairy farms and to evaluate the synergistic effects of different antibiotic combinations against these isolates. Method: Escherichia coli was isolated using MacConkey agar and identified through biochemical testing. Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) was performed using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method to identify MDR isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined via the broth microdilution method. To assess potential synergism, fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices were calculated, and 252 antibiotic combinations were tested. Results: Most E. coli isolates were resistant to multiple antibiotics, except meropenem and vancomycin. Among all tested combinations, 22 pairs such as meropenem–amoxicillin, meropenem–enrofloxacin, amoxicillin–colistin, enrofloxacin–colistin, ceftriaxone–colistin, ceftriaxone–oxytetracycline, and others exhibited synergistic effects. Several additional combinations showed additive effects, suggesting potential utility in combating multidrug resistance in E. coli associated with mastitis. Conclusion: The FIC analysis revealed that combinations of meropenem with amoxicillin (Mer+Amox), meropenem with enrofloxacin (Mer+Enro), and colistin with amoxicillin (Col+Amox) demonstrated the strongest synergistic activity. These results indicate that specific antibiotic combinations could provide promising therapeutic strategies against MDR E. coli infections in mastitis cases.

Abstract

Background: Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a major cause of severe illness in dogs, particularly in unvaccinated puppies. The virus spreads rapidly and often leads to acute gastrointestinal disease with high morbidity and mortality. Purpose:  This case report describes the diagnosis and management of canine parvoviral enteritis in a young dog that presented with early clinical signs of infection. Case(s): A five-month-old female Golden Retriever named Golden, weighing 7.65 kg and light brown in color, was presented with a two-day history of anorexia, repeated vomiting (approximately five times per day), and bloody diarrhea. On physical examination, the patient was moderately dehydrated, with pale mucous membranes, delayed capillary refill time (>2 seconds), reduced skin turgor, and elevated heart and respiratory rates. Fecal examination revealed no intestinal parasites. Hematological analysis showed normocytic normochromic anemia, lymphocytosis, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. A rapid CPV antigen test confirmed the diagnosis of parvoviral infection. Based on the clinical and laboratory findings, the dog was diagnosed with canine parvoviral enteritis. Case Management: Treatment focused on supportive and symptomatic care. Cefotaxime (20 mg/kg body weight) was administered intravenously twice daily for five days to prevent secondary bacterial infection. To control vomiting, metoclopramide HCl (0.5 mg/kg body weight) was given intravenously. Supportive therapy included intravenous fluids (lactated Ringer’s solution) and vitamin B-complex supplementation. Conclusion:  The patient showed marked clinical improvement, including normalization of vital parameters, restoration of appetite and activity, and cessation of vomiting and diarrhea. The dog was considered clinically recovered at the end of the treatment period.

Abstract

Background: Leptospirosis, a neglected zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira spp., poses a major public health threat in tropical regions, including Tanzania. Rodents are the principal reservoirs responsible for environmental contamination and disease transmission to humans and domestic animals. However, information on Leptospira infection in rodents inhabiting undisturbed and restored forests in Tanzania remains scarce. Purpose:  This study aimed to detect and characterize Leptospira spp., infecting rodents and shrews in the Mgeta ecosystem, Morogoro, Tanzania, to better understand their potential role in maintaining and transmitting the pathogen across habitats. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2024. Rodents and shrews were live-trapped from undisturbed forests, farms, fallow lands, naturally restored forest corridors, and human dwellings. DNA was extracted from kidney tissues and screened using semi-nested PCR targeting the secY gene. Results: A total of 207 small mammals were captured, consisting of 98.55% rodents and 1.45% shrews. Leptospira spp., were detected in 9 (4.3%) rodents, with Praomys (44.4%), Lophuromys (33.3%), and Mastomys natalensis (22.2%) showing the highest prevalence. Infections were mainly detected in farm, forest, and corridor habitats. Phylogenetic analysis identified all isolates as Leptospira borgpetersenii, exhibiting 98.44–98.99% similarity with strains from Spain, Portugal, South Africa, and the United States. Conclusion: The detection of L. borgpetersenii across multiple habitats highlights its ecological persistence and potential zoonotic risk in the Mgeta ecosystem. Strengthened surveillance and integrated public health strategies are essential to mitigate leptospirosis transmission in agricultural and forest-edge communities.

Abstract

Background: Isosporiasis, caused by Isospora spp., is a common intestinal parasitic infection in kittens, transmitted via ingestion of oocysts in contaminated food, water, or feces. Concurrent infections with nematodes such as Toxocara spp. can complicate clinical management. Purpose:  To provide clinical insights into the diagnosis and management of simultaneous isosporiasis and toxocariasis in kittens. Case(s): A 1-month-old, 0.7 kg female Persian kitten named Alin was presented with pasty diarrhea. The kitten had good appetite and hydration, with no prior deworming or vaccination. Clinical examination revealed respiratory rate 104 breaths/min, pulse 156 beats/min, and rectal temperature 39.9°C. Abdominal palpation showed distension and auscultation revealed hyperactive intestinal sounds. Fecal analysis detected Isospora spp., oocysts and Toxocara spp. eggs, confirming co-infection. Case Management: Initial treatment included oral Cotrimoxazole and CTM powder for isosporiasis and Pyrantel Pamoate (Chombantrine®) for toxocariasis, administered three times daily for five days. Persistent infection on follow-up prompted four additional days of CTM therapy. By November 6, 2024, Isospora spp., remained detectable; CTM was discontinued, deworming repeated, and intramuscular Intertim LA was administered for maintenance therapy. Conclusion:  Simultaneous isosporiasis and toxocariasis may require extended combined therapy due to potential resistance of Isospora spp. Routine deworming, strict hygiene, and early diagnostic monitoring are essential to prevent and manage such infections in kittens.

Abstract

Background: In Cameroon, the production and consumption of cow milk remain limited, primarily due to inadequate herd management practices, the use of low-performing breeds, and insufficient control of reproductive activities. Purpose:  This study aimed to contribute to the improvement of dairy productivity by evaluating the demographic characteristics, reproductive parameters, and milk production performance of Montbéliarde dairy herds in Cameroon. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to May 2022 on nine Montbéliarde dairy farms located in the Adamawa and Far North regions. Data on farm structure, management practices, reproductive performance, and milk yield were collected using structured questionnaires and subsequently analyzed descriptively. Results: The average herd size was 15.00 ± 14.23 cows in Adamawa and 2.25 ± 0.50 cows in the Far North. The mean gestation length, age at first calving, calving interval, lactation duration, and average milk yield were 272.99 ± 8.44 days, 29.89 ± 2.62 months, 14.29 ± 1.11 months, 343.49 ± 17.51 days, and 2513.71± 540.62 L, respectively. Calving, weaning, numerical exploitation, pre-weaning mortality, and overall mortality rates were 27.08%, 47.78%, 61.93%, 42.46%, and 38.91%, respectively. All farms exhibited a negative crude numerical growth rate (-37.18%). Conclusion:  The reproductive and productive performances of the Montbéliarde breed in Adamawa and the Far North regions were below expected standards. These suboptimal outcomes are primarily associated with poor management systems and inadequate breeding conditions, emphasizing the necessity for improved herd management, enhanced reproductive monitoring, and targeted interventions to optimize milk production efficiency in Cameroonian dairy systems.

Abstract

Background: The diagnosis of Brucella spp. traditionally requires complex serological tests that demand a well-equipped laboratory and trained personnel. To overcome these limitations, the Veterinary Diagnostic and Research Laboratories (DAVIH) developed a lateral flow immunochromatographic system capable of detecting antibodies in serum or whole blood, facilitating its use under field conditions without the need for sophisticated infrastructure. Purpose:  Evaluate the performance of the rapid immunochromatographic test in swine herds. Method: A total of 348 blood samples were collected from the marginal ear vein of swine (323 females and 25 males) from farms with a high prevalence of brucellosis. The results of the rapid test using whole blood (field) and serum (laboratory) were compared against the reference standard. Diagnostic validity indicators, predictive values, and the Kappa index were calculated to assess agreement between tests. Results: The test demonstrated high sensitivity (95.26% in blood; 98.95% in serum) but moderate specificity (81.65% in blood; 84.81% in serum). The agreement between blood and serum results was good (Kappa = 0.78), although 7.5% of the samples showed discordant results, possibly due to interference from blood components. Negative predictive values were excellent (93.48% in blood; 98.53% in serum), indicating high reliability for ruling out infections. The test also showed robustness under variable environmental conditions. Conclusion: The DAVIH-RAPID-BRU system is a rapid, sensitive, and practical tool for the initial screening of swine brucellosis in the field, particularly useful for epidemiological surveillance programs. However, due to its moderate specificity, positive cases should be confirmed with more specific tests (such as 2-ME or RFC) to avoid misdiagnosis. Its implementation could significantly enhance early detection efforts in endemic areas.

Abstract

Background: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary disorder frequently observed in Persian cats and related breeds. It is characterized by multiple cysts within the renal cortex and medulla, leading to progressive renal dysfunction and eventual chronic renal failure. Although PKD is typically diagnosed in adult cats, early-onset forms in juveniles are rarely reported. Clinical signs in young cats often resemble other systemic disorders such as urinary tract infections or gastroenteritis, making diagnosis challenging. Understanding the clinical presentation and progression of PKD in juvenile cats is essential for early detection and promoting responsible breeding programs to reduce genetic transmission. Purpose:  This study describes and compares two cases of early-onset PKD in juvenile Persian kittens that showed rapid progression toward chronic renal failure. It also highlights the importance of early genetic screening in high-risk breeds and evaluates the potential influence of homozygous mutations and secondary stressors on disease severity. Case(s):Two Persian kittens, Niharika (female, 1.5 kg) and Panther (male, 1.9 kg), presented as emergency cases at the Government Veterinary Clinic, Jabalpur, India, with systemic illness, inappetence, lethargy, and thermoregulatory instability. Both were unvaccinated and not dewormed. Despite intensive supportive therapy, both developed dehydration, fluctuating body temperature, and progressive clinical decline. Case Management: Despite aggressive treatment including fluid therapy, antibiotics, antiemetics, and nutritional support, both kittens died within six days of admission. The initial diagnosis of interstitial cystitis was later revised after poor response to standard care. Conclusion:  These cases demonstrate that autosomal dominant PKD in Persian cats can occur early and progress rapidly, likely due to homozygous mutations and secondary infections. Early genetic screening is critical for reducing hereditary renal disease in predisposed breeds.

Abstract

Background: Geographic location is one of the key factors influencing the reproductive performance of cattle. Environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall directly affect the reproductive efficiency of cows. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the reproductive performance of beef cattle raised in highland and lowland areas. Method: A total of 60 productive female cows were surveyed, comprising 30 cows from the lowland area of Borobudur (230–240 m above sea level) and 30 from the highland area of Sawangan (450–1400 m above sea level). Data on calving interval and service per conception were obtained through field surveys of farmers maintaining artificial insemination records. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. Results:  Reproductive performance was assessed based on calving interval and service per conception. Cows raised in the highland area of Sawangan demonstrated superior reproductive performance, with a calving interval of 429.66 ± 145.16 days and a service per conception rate of 1.5 ± 0.73, compared to 516.33 ± 168.72 days and 2.5 ± 1.61 in the lowland area of Borobudur. These findings suggest that higher altitudes with cooler and more stable climatic conditions contribute to improved reproductive efficiency. Conclusion: The results indicate that altitude has a significant influence on cattle reproductive performance. Cows raised in highland areas exhibited shorter calving intervals and lower service per conception rates compared to those in lowland areas. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity in highlands likely enhance reproductive outcomes. Farmers in lowland regions may improve reproductive efficiency by implementing cooling systems or adjusting breeding schedules. Further studies are recommended to identify additional environmental and management factors influencing cattle reproduction across different agroecological zones.
