The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis is suppressed by pro-inflammatory mediators in systemic disease, which affects the thyroid hormone level. Canine parvovirus one of important infectious diseases causes profound morbidity as well mortality dogs. It found that canine infection can result non-thyroidal sickness syndrome. relation between pathology and will pave way for therapeutic preventive...

The study was aimed at understanding the nature and pattern of serum lactate, cardiac troponin I changes associated with acute Trypanosoma brucei infection dogs. It also seeks to investigate usefulness these biomarkers in monitoring disease progression predicting mortality. Twenty healthy adult dogs both sexes were used for study. All intra-peritoneally inoculated 1ml phosphate buffered saline ...

background: heartworm ( dirofilaria immitis ) is mosquito-borne filarial nematode capable of causing serious cardiopulmonary disease in canines and felines, and pulmonary dirofilariasis in man. this research was conducted with the objectives of determining the incidence and assessing possible risk factors of canine heartworm in the southeast of iran. methods: from october 2012 to september 2013...

Filariasis in dogs is caused by several species of filariids. Because of importance of this infection in veterinary medicine and public health, it is necessary to carry out an epidemiological and cross sectional studies in various geographical areas and use of well-adapted diagnosis methods. In this study 205 capillary and whole blood samples were collected from doges in various counties of Eas...

Epidemics of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in major Brazilian cities are new phenomena since 1980. As determinants of transmission in urban settings probably operate at different geographic scales, and information is not available for each scale, a multilevel approach was used to examine the effect of canine infection and environmental and socio-economic factors on the spatial variability of inci...

Brucella canis infection is an important cause of late-term abortion in pregnant bitches. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to B. canis-induced abortion are unknown, but heavily infected trophoblasts are consistently observed. As trophoblasts responses to other pathogens contribute to placental inflammation leading to abortion, the aim of the present study was to characterize the cytoki...

Canine parvovirus (CPV) and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) differ in their ability to infect dogs and dog cells. Canine cell infection is a specific property of CPV and depends on the ability of the virus to bind the canine transferrin receptor (TfR), as well as other unidentified factors. Three regions in the capsid structure, located around VP2 residues 93, 300, and 323, can all influence c...

the present study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of canine leishmaniasis in a population of owned and strayed dogs in mashhad, north-east iran. of 300 serum samples obtained from dogs, 8.67% (26/300) were positive for leishmania infantum by indirect florcense antibody test (ifat). the sero-prevalence rates in owned and stray dogs were 9.5% (19/200) and 7% (7/10...

BACKGROUND Canine distemper virus (CDV) has been associated with outbreaks of canine infectious respiratory disease in shelters and boarding kennel environments. POCKITTM Nucleic Acid Analyzer is a field-deployable device capable of generating automatically interpreted insulated isothermal polymerase chain reaction (iiPCR) results from extracted nucleic acid within one hour. In this study, reve...
