The Dog Mite, Demodex canis: Prevalence, Fungal Co-Infection, Reactions to Light, and Hair Follicle Apoptosis
Infection rate, reaction to light, and hair follicle apoptosis are examined in the dogmite, Demodex canis Leydig (Prostigmata: Demodicidae), in dogs from the northern area of Taiwan. An analysis of relevant samples revealed 7.2% (73/1013) prevalence of D. canis infection. Infection during the investigation peaked each winter, with an average prevalence of 12.5% (32/255). The infection rates sig...
متن کاملFatal Babesia canis canis infection in a splenectomized Estonian dog
A previously splenectomized dog from Estonia was presented with a sudden lack of appetite and discoloration of the urine. Despite supportive therapy, its condition deteriorated dramatically during 1 day. Severe thrombocytopenia and high numbers of protozoan hemoparasites were evident in blood smears, and the hematocrit dropped from 46 to 33 %. The dog was euthanized before specific antibabesial...
متن کاملBabesia canis infection in a splenectomized dog.
The present report describes a fatal case of non-experimental babesiosis in a splenctomized 3-year-old fox terrier. A very intense parasitaemia including clusters of up to 16 Babesiae and a prominent haemophagocytic activity were the most relevant findings. A marked leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia and regenerative anaemia were observed. Despite prompt treatment with babesiacidal compounds the co...
متن کاملBabesia canis and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) co-infection in a sled dog.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Sporting dogs, including sled dogs, are particularly prone to tick-borne infection either due to training/racing in forest areas or through visits to endemic areas. The aim was to present tick-borne infections in a 6-dog racing team after a race in Estonia. MATERIALS AND METHODS On the 4th day after return to Poland, the first dog presented with babesiosis symptoms...
متن کاملImmune reactions in skin and hair follicle gene therapy.
An immunological response to non-native proteins is a problem that must be overcome for successful gene therapy. A study by Ghazizadeh et al. in this issue of Molecular Therapy describes the immune response to retrovirus-mediated lacZ gene transfer to the skin [1]. The study shows that both CD4 and CD8 immune responses need to be eliminated to permit persistent expression of this transgene. The...
