Serum protein electrophoresis in European mink ( < em > Mustela lutreola < /em > ): reference intervals and comparison of agarose gel electrophoresis and capillary zone electrophoresis
CONCLUSION: Both methods are adequate for identifying serum protein disorders, but the AGE and CZE methods are not equivalent. Therefore, reference intervals for each technique are required.PMID:38389258 | DOI:10.1080/01652176.2024.2318195 (Source: Veterinary Quarterly)

Effects of zinc supplementation from organic and inorganic sources on growth, blood biochemical indices, and intestinal microarchitecture in broilers
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-7. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2298491. Epub 2024 Jan 31.ABSTRACTIn poultry nutrition, zinc supplementation is typically achieved through the addition of zinc oxide or zinc sulfate to the feed. The alternative approach of organic sources utilizes an organic ligand to bind zinc (Zn), resulting in higher bioavailability. Thus, a study was conducted to assess and compare the impact of a methionine-complexed Zn versus an inorganic Zn on growth, blood biochemical profile, gut histomorphology, and fecal excretion of Zn in broilers. The experimental design included two treatments: the addition of a zinc ami...

Hypoxia-related Y RNA fragments as a novel potential biomarker for distinguishing metastatic oral melanoma from non-metastatic oral melanoma in dogs
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-8. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2300943. Epub 2024 Jan 30.ABSTRACTHypoxia may promote tumor progression, and hypoxically altered noncoding RNA (ncRNA) expression may play a role in metastasis. Canine oral melanoma (COM) frequently metastasizes, and ncRNA expression under hypoxia may be clinically significant. We aimed to elucidate ncRNA fragments whose expression is altered by hypoxia in COM-derived primary KMeC and metastatic LMeC cell lines using next-generation sequencing to validate these results in qRT-PCR, and then compare expression between metastatic and non-metastatic COM. The NGS analysis an...

Assessing < em > in vitro < /em > stability of remdesivir (GS-5734) and conversion to GS-441524 in feline plasma and whole blood
This study assessed possible phase I metabolism of RDV in cats, utilising an in vitro feline microsome model with in vitro t1/2 and in vitro Clint calculated using the substrate depletion method. A previously validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fluorescence method was utilised for detection and analysis of RDV and GS-441524. Qualitative yield of RDV and intermediate metabolite GS-441524 were determined following microsome incubation, then compared to whole blood and plasma incubations. In vitro microsome incubation resulted in rapid depletion of RDV, though it did not appear to resemble a conventional p...

< em > Bovine anaplasmosis < /em > in Zimbabwe: spatio-temporal distribution and environmental drivers
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-16. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2024.2306210. Epub 2024 Jan 27.ABSTRACTUnderstanding the spatial and temporal distribution of Bovine anaplasmosis is crucial for identifying areas of high prevalence for targeted disease control. This research was aimed at modelling and mapping the B. anaplasmosis potential distribution, and identify hotspots as well as significant variables explaining the occurrence of the disease. The Getis Ord Gi* statistic for Hotspot analysis was used as well as MaxEnt ecological niche modelling. The effects of time, land-use, and agro-ecological regions on B. anaplasmosis occurrence w...

Parasitic findings on threatened pudu deer from Central Chile accounts first genetic characterization of lice parasitizing < em > P. puda < /em > in Chile and the first molecular report of < em > Taenia hydatigena < /em > metacestodes in this species
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-8. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2024.2302027. Epub 2024 Jan 19.ABSTRACTSouthern pudu (Pudu puda) is a threatened endemic deer of the temperate forests of Chile. In recent years pudu populations rates have decreased mainly due to anthropogenic causes including forest loss and landscape fragmentation. In this context, the parasitic fauna of Chilean pudu has been scarcely investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the parasitic status of rescued pudu n = 13 from its natural habitat in Central Chile (Maule region) during March 2022 and June 2023 by applying morphological, histopathological, and molec...

Emerging zoonotic diseases in Southeast Asia in the period 2011-2022: a systematic literature review
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-15. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2300965. Epub 2024 Jan 16.ABSTRACTAs COVID-19 has shown, pandemics and outbreaks of emerging infections such as Zika, Nipah, monkeypox and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, especially emerging zoonotic diseases, continue to occur and may even be increasing in Southeast Asia. In addition, these infections often result from environmental changes and human behaviour. Overall, public health surveillance to identify gaps in the literature and early warning signs are essential in this region. A systematic review investigated the prevalence of emerging zoonotic diseases over...

First detection of Omicron variant BA.4.1 lineage in dogs, Chile
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-10. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2298089. Epub 2024 Jan 4.ABSTRACTSARS-CoV-2's rapid global spread caused the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020. Alongside humans, domestic dogs and cats are also susceptible to infection. However, limited reports on pet infections in Chile prompted a comprehensive study to address this knowledge gap. Between March 2021 and March 2023, the study assessed 65 pets (26 dogs and 39 cats) from 33 COVID-19+ households alongside 700 nasal swabs from animals in households with unknown COVID-19 status. Using RT-PCR, nasal, fecal, and environmental samples were ...
