Prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in zoo animals in Pakistan
The study was carried out in zoo animals at Islamabad Zoo, Pakistan to know the prevalence of bovinetuberculosis. An overall prevalence of 3.3% was recorded in zoo animals with 3.6% in Bovidae, 3.2% inCervidae and 0% in Equidae families. The positive animals included spotted deer (1/3; 95% CI = 0.84,90.57), Chinkara gazella (1/5; 95% CI = 0.51, 71.64) and Blackbuck gazelle (1/30; 95% CI = 0.08,...
متن کاملIsolation of Clostridium difficile and molecular detection of binary and A/B toxins in faeces of dogs
The aim of this study was to isolate Clostridium difficile from dogs’ faeces, and to study the frequency of its virulence genes. A total of 151 samples of dogs’ faeces were collected. The isolation of C. difficile was performed by using the bacterial culture methods followed by DNA extraction using boiling method. Multiplex PCR method was performed for identification of tcdA, tcdB, cdtA and cdt...

متن کاملSeroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in zoo and domestic animals in Jiangxi Province, China
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of warm-blooded animals throughout the world. In the present study, antibodies to T. gondii were determined using a commercial indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test in wild animals in a zoo. Three of 11 giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) (27%), 1 of 5 wolves (Canis lupus laniger) (20%), 1 of 6 hippopotamuses (Hippopotamu...
متن کاملMolecular identification of Dicrocoelium dendriticum using 28s rDNA genomic marker and its histopathologic features in domestic animals in western Iran
Introduction: Dicrocoeliasis is a common disease of bile ducts and gallbladder of domestic and wild ruminants. This disease is caused by different species of dicrocoelium including Dicrocoelium dendriticum. The aim of this study was to identify pathological damages and molecular features associated with this parasite in ruminants. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 180 fresh...
