چکیده
Gross Pathology: Variably sized ulcers (3-10 mm) were present on the nares, tongue, larynx, and rumen. Through the cecum and proximal colon were segmental areas of necrosis and hemorrhage with ulcerated areas covered by a fibrinonecrotic membrane. Ileocolic and cecocolic lymph nodes were markedly enlarged, edematous and hemorrhagic. Numerous petechiae were noted in both renal cortices. Although diarrhea had not been reported prior to death, the perineal area was stained with liquid fecal material.

Ovine Herpesvirus 2 Infection in Foal, Brazil
To the Editor: Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is an acute, generalized, and usually fatal disease previously thought to be restricted to mammals of the order Artiodactyla, often members of the subfamilies Bovinae, Cervidae, and Suidae (1). Although animals of the order Perissodactyla, family Equidae, have previously been considered not susceptible to ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), we show that ...
متن کاملEvidence of alphaherpesvirus infections in Alaskan caribou and reindeer
BACKGROUND The reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) industry in Alaska began with animals imported from Siberia (Russia) in the 1890's. Cervid herpes virus 2 (CvHV2) is endemic in reindeer in Scandinavia. We sought to determine if the same virus, or similar herpesviruses, were circulating in Alaskan reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti). Serum samples from 292 reindeer were collected...

Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen that provokes numerous different diseases. This bacterium is classified into five various types, each of which capable of causing a distinct disease. There are various methods for the bacterial identification, many are labor-intensive, time-consuming, expensive and also show low sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this research was to identif...
متن کاملOccurrence of Beta2 toxigenic Clostridium perfringens isolates with different toxin types in Iran
Clostridium perfringens is an important cause of enteric diseases in both human and animals. The bacteria produce several toxins which play key roles in the pathogenesis of diseases and are classified into five toxin types, on the basis of the differential production of Alpha, Beta, Epsilon and Iota toxins. In this study a single PCR assay was developed and used for detection of cpb2 gene to id...
متن کاملHerpes virus infection associated with interstitial nephritis in a beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris)
BACKGROUND The capacity for herpesvirus to cause disease in cetaceans is unclear and may be varied depending on the different conditions of individuals and between different species. Kidney pathology and intralesional virus-associated infection have been rarely reported in cetaceans. RESULT On April 2004, an old adult male Blainville's beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris) 420 cm long with a...
