Clinical and hematological effects of Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin in cockerels
نویسنده
چکیده
A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin on clinical symptoms and some haematological changes in mature six-month-old cockerels. Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin caused characteristic clinical symptoms, severe olygocytic hypochromic anaemia, leucocytosis and increased phagocytic function of leucocytes. Heterophilia was associated with relative lyphopenia. The endotoxin manifested pyrogenic activity. The demonstrated signs were similar to those produced in chickens with experimental fowl typhoid. Together, these features suggest that Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin has been a contributor to the main manifestation of experimental fowl typhoid in birds.

Bacterial colonization and endotoxin production were investigated before and after experimental Salmonella gallinarum infection in 8-week-old female broiler chickens. These parameters were assayed by means of colony forming units test (CFU) and the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate test (LAL), respectively. Birds were infected per os with 1,5 x 10(9) CFU/ml of wild strain of S. gallinarum isolated from ...

Uveitis is a major cause of vision loss. Methotrexate (MTX) has been widely used in uveitis due to its relatively safe profile. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different dosages of MTX via intra-vitreal administration for treatment of endotoxin induced uveitis (EIU) in an experimental model. Thirty-five healthy rabbits were randomly divided into four groups and all ...
