Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Alpha-Hemolytic Streptococcus spp. from the Oral Cavity and Blood of Septicemic Periparturient Immunodeficient Mice
Comp Med. 2023 Sep 11. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-23-000020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMISTRG is an immunodeficient mouse strain that expresses multiple human cytokines that support hematopoietic stem cell maintenance and myelopoiesis. While establishing a breeding colony of MISTRG mice in a dedicated barrier room, 6 cases of death or disease occurred in pregnant or postpartum mice. Clinically, this manifested as hunched posture, dyspnea, and 1 case of emaciation with ataxia. Pathologic analysis of 7 mice revealed multisystemic necrosuppurative inflammation variably affecting the uterus and placenta, joints, meninges, inne...

Polyomavirus-associated Disseminated T-cell Lymphoma in a Colony of Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
Comp Med. 2023 Sep 11. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-23-000011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFour zebra finches in a closed research colony presented with variable clinical signs, including masses, skin lesions,shivering, and/or ruffled feathers. These birds were not responsive to treatment efforts; 3 died and one was euthanized. All4 were submitted for necropsy to determine the cause of the clinical signs. Gross necropsy and histopathologic findings fromall birds resulted in a diagnosis of round cell neoplasia in multiple organs, including the skin, liver, kidney, and reproductivetract, with intranuclear inclusion bodies in the...
