Abstract

Background: Infection with Dipylidium caninum, a zoonotic cestode, is frequently observed in cats and may lead to significant gastrointestinal disturbances. For the detection of such parasites, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is widely employed due to its superior sensitivity and specificity. In the optimization of PCR performance, the design and in silico evaluation of primers are considered critical steps prior to experimental validation. Purpose:  Design and evaluation of PCR primers targeting mitochondrial COX1 and ND5 genes were undertaken to facilitate the detection of Dipylidium caninum, in cats from Malang, Indonesia. Method: Identification of COX1 and ND5 primers for Dipylidium caninum, was achieved through an in silico approach, with assessments based on nucleotide length, melting temperature (Tm), and GC content. Subsequent sequence analysis and primer evaluation were conducted using MEGA 11 software. Results: Generation of four primer pairs was accomplished, consisting of two pairs targeting the COX1 gene and two pairs targeting the ND5 gene. Adherence to recommended design criteria was observed in all primers, characterized by lengths of 18–30 nucleotides, melting temperatures of 50–65°C, and GC contents within the 40–60% range. DNA amplification was suggested by electrophoretic analysis. The highest evaluation score was attributed to the ND5A primer pair. Furthermore, clear clade separation between COX1 and ND5 gene sequences of Dipylidium caninum, was revealed through phylogenetic analysis. Conclusion: Potential for the detection of Dipylidium caninum, is demonstrated by the designed primers based on in silico evaluation; however, further laboratory validation via PCR assays and expanded sample sets remains necessary to confirm specificity, amplification efficiency, and broader diagnostic applicability.

Abstract

Background: Activity of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system (RAAS) may be influenced by renal disorders, potentially contributing to the development of systemic hypertension. Persistent hypertension increases cardiac workload and may lead to structural cardiac changes, including ventricular dilation and cardiac remodeling.  Purpose: Description is provided herein regarding the diagnostic findings and therapeutic management of crystalluria associated with systemic hypertension and suspected right ventricular dilatation in a dog. Case (s): Presentation of a 2.5 year old female Pug dog weighing 5.85 kg was made with a seven-month history of white urine residues and a two month history of stranguria. Identification of white deposits around the vulva, pain upon urinary bladder palpation, and rhonchi on thoracic auscultation was made during physical examination. Urinalysis revealed numerous struvite crystals, proteinuria (+++), a urine pH of 7, and a specific gravity of 1.015, while lymphocytopenia was demonstrated via hematological examination. Detection of sediment in the urinary bladder and hyperechoic structures in the renal medulla was achieved through ultrasonography. Furthermore, rounding of the right cardiac border was observed on thoracic radiography, and right ventricular thickening with possible dilation was suggested by echocardiography. Marked hypertension (191/167 mmHg) was confirmed through blood pressure measurement. Case Management: Therapeutic intervention consisted of amoxicillin clavulanic acid (12.5 mg/kg orally twice daily for 7 days), enalapril maleate (0.5 mg/kg orally once daily for 7 days), a urinary tract supplement containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (½ capsule orally once daily for 14 days), and dietary management utilizing a renal support diet. Significant clinical improvement and normalization of blood pressure were observed after 14 days of treatment, although a residual presence of struvite crystals in the urine sediment was noted. Conclusion: After 14 days of treatment, the clinical condition improved and blood pressure returned to within normal limits, although a reduced number of struvite crystals remained in the urine sediment.

Abstract

Background: Goats are widely raised due to their lower maintenance costs compared to cattle. The Etawa crossbreed is one of the most common goat breeds in Indonesia. Pizzle rot is a reproductive disorder in bucks characterized by inflammation and swelling of the penis and prepuce, often associated with dietary factors and secondary bacterial infection. Purpose: To describe the surgical treatment and postoperative management of pizzle rot in a buck. Case(s): A 1.5-year-old Etawa crossbreed buck was presented to the Veterinary Clinic with a history of anorexia and penile swelling. Clinical examination of the reproductive system revealed marked swelling of the penis and prepuce consistent with pizzle rot. Case Management: Surgical treatment was performed by excising the abscessed tissue and removing the urethral obstruction. The affected preputial area was opened, the abscess tissue was removed, and the urethral passage was cleared. Postoperative care included routine wound cleaning, medication administration, and regular monitoring of wound healing. Clinical improvement was observed within a few days after surgery, indicated by reduced swelling and improved urination. The healing process progressed well, and complete restoration of normal penile function was achieved within eight weeks. The buck regained the ability to protrude the penis and urinate normally without recurrence of swelling. Conclusion: Surgical excision of abscessed tissue combined with appropriate postoperative wound care was effective in treating pizzle rot in this buck. Early surgical intervention and proper postoperative management contributed to rapid clinical improvement and complete recovery of penile function.

Abstract

Background: Significant economic implications and public health concerns are posed by Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB), a critical zoonotic disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Within Nigerian abattoirs, substantial rates of meat and carcass condemnation are attributed to this infection. Purpose: Investigation was undertaken to report the prevalence of tuberculosis in cattle slaughtered at the Maiduguri Central Abattoir (MCA) through the utilization of post-mortem examination, Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N) staining, and histopathology. Method: A cross-sectional survey of BTB lesions was conducted among cattle slaughtered at the MCA. Collected lesions were subjected to processing for acid-fast microscopy and histopathological analysis. Statistical evaluation of the obtained data was performed using IBM SPSS version 27, while Chi-square tests were employed to determine differences in BTB prevalence across various variables. Results: Examination for tuberculous lesions was carried out on two hundred and one slaughtered cattle, comprising 45.8% (92/201) males and 54.2% (109/201) females. Tuberculous lesions were identified in 7.0% (14/201) of the examined carcasses. Regarding breed distribution, the highest frequency of BTB lesions was observed in the Abori breed (50.0%), whereas no visible lesions were detected in the Ambala and Wadara breeds. A prevalence of 4.9% (10/201) was further demonstrated through the Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique. Histologically, leukocytic infiltration of granulomas accompanied by fibrosis was observed in the affected tissues. Conclusion: Persistent prevalence of bovine tuberculosis is confirmed in cattle destined for human consumption at the MCA. Given the zoonotic nature of the disease, an urgent necessity exists to scale up preventive and control measures to enhance public health safety.

Abstract

Background: Haemoparasite infections represent a major cause of equine morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence, species distribution, and risk factors of these infections among horses in Kwara and Niger States, North Central Nigeria. Purpose: Investigating the occurrence of both single and mixed haemoparasite species, this research examined how factors such as age, body condition, and packed cell volume (PCV) influence infection rates in apparently healthy horses. Method: Sampling was performed on 102 apparently healthy horses, followed by blood collection and analysis via wet mount and thin blood smear techniques. Evaluation of the PCV was achieved using the haematocrit technique. For statistical analysis, univariate logistic regression was employed, with a value of p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Positivity for at least one haemoparasite species was identified in 57 horses, representing 55.88% (95% CI: 46.21–65.13) of the sampled population. Detected were five distinct species: Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia caballi, Theileria equi, Microfilaria of Setaria equina, and Trypanosoma equi identified as the most abundant at 34.31% (95% CI: 25.82–43.95). Furthermore, significant predictors associated with infection prevalence were determined to be age, body condition score, sex, PCV count, and horse ownership. Conclusion: Raised by the high infection rate in the study area is a noticeable concern regarding equine health. Underscored by these findings is the necessity for stringent control of ticks and other arthropod vectors to curtail the transmission of haemoparasites among horses within the region and across Nigeria.

Abstract

Background: Among the commonly isolated pathogenic bacteria in sheep and goats, Salmonella and Klebsiella species are frequently identified as significant health risks to small ruminants. Purpose:  Critical insights are provided herein to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infections caused by Salmonella and Klebsiella species, thereby enhancing the overall health and productivity of small ruminant populations. Method: Collection was performed on a total of 110 rectal, preputial, and vaginal swab samples from sheep (33) and goats (77). Sub-culturing of the isolates was conducted using Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate (XLD) and Klebsiella selective agar. Subsequent identification was achieved through biochemical assays and an online bacteriological identification system, followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing in accordance with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Data analysis was executed using the Chi-square test, with a p-value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: A higher prevalence of Salmonella enterica was observed in sheep (6.1%) compared to goats (2.6%), whereas Klebsiella sp. were found to be more common in goats (19.5%) than in sheep (12.1%). Within the age distribution, the highest prevalence of both Salmonella enterica (6.5%) and Klebsiella sp. (9.7%) was recorded in animals less than one year old. Regarding sex, a higher prevalence of Salmonella enterica was demonstrated in females (4.6%) compared to males (2.2%). High levels of antimicrobial resistance were identified for Cefotaxime 19 (95.0%), CPX-Ciprofloxacin 12 (60.0%), PEF-Pefloxacin 16 (80.0%), AU-Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid 18 (90.0%), CEP-Cephalexin 16 (80.0%), TRX-Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole 14 (70.0%), and CEF-Ceftriaxone 19 (95.0%). Conversely, the lowest resistance rate was exhibited by OFX-Ofloxacin 3 (15.0%). Conclusion: Ofloxacin is identified as the most effective antimicrobial agent, while cefepime is characterized as the least effective.

Abstract

Background: Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease is a complex clinical condition in cats that commonly results in inflammation of the urinary bladder, crystalluria, bacterial infection, and urethral obstruction, particularly in male cats. Purpose: This case report aims to describe the clinical course, diagnostic findings, and effectiveness of multimodal therapeutic management in a male cat with bacterial cystitis accompanied by persistent struvite crystalluria and partial urethral obstruction. Case(s): Ragdoll (male, 2 years old) presenting with stranguria, pollakiuria, hematuria, and lethargy underwent comprehensive clinical evaluation supported by hematological analysis, urinalysis, and ultrasonography. Case Management: Management involved a multimodal therapeutic approach including intravenous fluid therapy, urethral catheterization, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, urethral relaxants, glycosaminoglycan supplementation, a therapeutic urinary diet, and environmental modification. Urethral obstruction was managed with smooth catheter, secured for four days, periodically flushed with sterile saline to reduce debris and crystals. Serial evaluations were conducted up to day 60. Physical examination revealed mild dehydration, pale mucous membranes, and a distended urinary bladder. Hematological examination demonstrated leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, granulocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia consistent with systemic inflammation. Initial urinalysis showed hematuria, marked proteinuria, positive leukocytes and nitrites, a urine specific gravity of 1.015, and moderate to abundant struvite crystals. Ultrasonographic findings included thickening of the urinary bladder wall with hyperechoic sediment and increased cortical echogenicity of the left kidney. Multimodal therapy resulted in progressive clinical and laboratory improvement. Evaluation on day 60 showed normalization of hematological parameters, near-normal urinalysis results, and resolution of urinary bladder sediment. Conclusion: Clinical insights gained from this case emphasize that dietary compliance, stress reduction, and vigilant long-term surveillance are critical for resolving complex FLUTD.

Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinitis in cats represents a persistent inflammatory condition of the upper respiratory tract, frequently complicated by secondary bacterial infections and exacerbated by comorbidities, such as ectoparasite infestations. Protracted infections significantly diminish feline quality of life, necessitating a comprehensive therapeutic approach to address both primary etiologies and contributing factors. Purpose: Evaluation was undertaken regarding the efficacy of combination nebulization therapy utilizing bromhexine hydrochloride and gentamicin sulfate in ameliorating clinical symptoms of chronic rhinitis in a domestic cat concurrently infested with Sarcoptes scabiei and Felicola subrostratus. Case(s): Presentation of a domestic cat was made for persistent sneezing exceeding one month in duration, accompanied by bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge, wheezing, severe pruritus, and crusted cutaneous lesions. Identification of Streptococcus sp. was achieved through cytology and culture of nasal secretions, while infestations of Sarcoptes scabiei and Felicola subrostratus were confirmed via trichogram and flea comb examination. Chronic inflammatory processes were further evidenced by hematological findings of leukocytosis and lymphocytosis. Case Management: Therapeutic intervention was executed through nebulization involving bromhexine hydrochloride as a mucolytic agent and gentamicin sulfate as a localized antibiotic. This regimen was integrated with systemic methylprednisolone for inflammation suppression, spot on selamectin for ectoparasite control, and nutritional supplementation to facilitate systemic recovery. Conclusion: Favorable clinical responses in the management of feline chronic rhinitis were demonstrated by the combination of nebulized bromhexine and gentamicin. Significant amelioration of respiratory symptoms was observed within seven days, whereas resolution of cutaneous lesions and ectoparasite infestations was evident by day 14. Effectiveness in enhancing clinical outcomes in complex cases with multifaceted comorbidities is highlighted by this integrated therapeutic approach.

Abstract

Background: Ascites is a frequent clinical finding in cats, representing an underlying systemic disorder rather than a definitive diagnosis. In pediatric felines, abdominal effusion is commonly associated with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) or helminthiasis, often causing diagnostic bias toward infectious etiologies. However, non-infectious causes like malnutrition, hepatic dysfunction, and inflammatory processes must be considered, particularly in rescued kittens with uncertain nutritional histories. Purpose: Identification chronic malnutrition as a significant non infectious contributor to ascites in a kitten, emphasizing the necessity of nutritional assessment within a systematic diagnostic approach to improve clinical decision-making. Case(s): A two month old male domestic kitten (0.35 kg) was presented with progressive abdominal distension, alopecia, bilateral distal forelimb swelling, and poor body condition following uncontrolled feeding with nutritionally inadequate wet food. Physical examination identified mild hypothermia and a low body condition score. Hematology showed macrocytic anemia and leukocytosis, while serum biochemistry revealed mild hypoalbuminemia, elevated alanine aminotransferase activity, and reduced calcium and phosphate concentrations. Radiography confirmed free abdominal fluid, and abdominocentesis yielded turbid effusion dominated by degenerate neutrophils. A negative Rivalta Test subsequently reduced the likelihood of FIP. Case Management: Management focused on nutritional correction and supportive intervention. Transition to a high energy, high protein formulation ensured metabolic recovery. Supportive treatment included vitamin B complex injections, hepatoprotective therapy, oral pyrantel pamoate, and empirical amoxicillin targeting suspected suppurative inflammation. Ad libitum water access was provided alongside hydration monitoring. Conclusion: Rapid clinical improvement following nutritional intervention supports malnutrition as a primary factor in ascites development. Integrating nutritional evaluation is essential in the diagnostic workup of ascites in young rescued cats.

Abstract

Background: Interest in alternative agro-industrial by-products for poultry nutrition has been prompted by the high cost of conventional feed. Cacao bean shells (CBS) derived from roasted, unfermented cacao beans, a by-product of cacao processing, may serve as a sustainable feed ingredient for broiler chickens. Purpose: Evaluated in this study were the effects of graded levels of sun-dried roasted CBS on the growth performance and feed efficiency of broiler chickens under tropical production conditions. Method: Proximate analysis was conducted on CBS processed using three methods: air-dried (ADC), sun-dried with hot water treatment (HWC), and sun-dried only (SDC). For the feeding trial, a total of 120 unsexed, two week old broiler chickens were randomly assigned to four isonitrogenous and isocaloric dietary treatments containing 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15% sun-dried CBS. Monitoring of body weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio was performed throughout the experimental period. Results: No significant differences among processing methods were shown by proximate analysis (p> 0.05). Lower total weight gain and average daily gain were observed in birds fed 5% CBS compared to the control, while a progressive decrease in feed intake was recorded with higher CBS inclusion levels. Although numerical variation was noted in the FCR, no significant differences were identified. Conclusion: Inclusion of sun-dried roasted CBS in broiler diets at low levels (up to 5%) can be achieved without major deleterious effects on growth performance. Reduced growth was observed at higher inclusion levels, likely attributable to increased fiber content and effects on feed palatability. Further investigation is required to assess amino acid composition, nutrient digestibility, and anti-nutritional factor content to optimize the utilization of CBS in broiler diets.
