Cold Agglutinin Disease in a Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)
In this report, we describe a case of CAD in a previouslyhealthy and experimentally naïve adult Indian rhesus macaque that was housed indoors and presented with blood in theurine. After our observations of hemoglobinuria and anemia led us to suspect CAD, we demonstrated that the macaque'sblood agglutinated at reduced temperatures. We also noticed that the provision of cold foraging treats triggered episodes ofhemoglobinuria. Further investigation revealed that serum from the macaque agglutinated RBCs in vitro with high thermalamplitude (at or below 30 °C) and had an antibody titer of 8 to 32. The serum contained autoanti...

Assessment of Oral Albendazole and Fumagillin in the Treatment of Pseudoloma neurophilia in Adult Zebrafish
Comp Med. 2023 Oct 23. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-23-000035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPseudoloma neurophilia (Pn), the causative agent of the most commonly reported disease of zebrafish, is a microsporidianparasite that confounds research by inducing behavioral and physiologic changes in zebrafish. Although a treatmentfor P. neurophilia has not been documented in zebrafish, albendazole (ALB) and fumagillin (FUM) have been used to treatmicrosporidian infections of other fish species. To investigate the efficacy of oral ALB and FUM in the treatment of Pn, weperformed a pilot study that demonstrated the safety and palatabili...

Evaluation of Selected Markers in Kidneys of Cynomolgus Monkey (Macaca fascicularis) with Induced Diabetes during Renal Ischemia-reperfusion Injury
Comp Med. 2023 Oct 19. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-22-000127. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe previously reported that induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the susceptibility of acute kidney injury inducedby ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in cynomolgus monkeys. In this follow-up study, we compared the expression ofselected markers in the renal tissues of monkeys subjected to bilateral renal IRI with and without diabetes. All tissues wereobtained from the original study. Renal biopsies were obtained before and 24 and 48 h after ischemia and were examinedfor expression of KI-67 (tubular proliferation), Na+/K+ ATPas...
