However, he developed a fever shortly after finishing the 10-day oral amoxicillin course, and presented to the emergency department ...

Trypanotolerance is a relative rather than an absolute trait. Thus, trypanotolerant breeds of livestock can be severely affected by trypanosome infections in high challenge situations or when under stress. Similarly, it has been reported that whilst small ruminants, sheep and goats can be kept under low tsetse challenge with little apparent disease, under a high challenge they will suffer a hig...

The present study was designed to compare the effect of coccidiostate drugs and cocccidial vaccines on performance of coccidian-infected broiler chickens. Nine hundred and sixty one-day-old broiler chicks from the Ross strain were randomly divided to eight treatment groups that each group contained 3 replicates. The birds of group 1 as negative control and group 2 as positive control did not re...

The antimalarial activity and pharmacology of a series of phenylthiazolyl-bearing hydroxamate-based histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) was evaluated. In in vitro growth inhibition assays approximately 50 analogs were evaluated against four drug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. The range of 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC(50)s) was 0.0005 to >1 microM. Five analogs exhibited IC...

the aim of the present studyis determination of probable correlation between parasitemia rate and hemolysis in cattle infected with anaplasma marginale. two groups including 10 uninfected cattle and 20 infected cattle were selected. based on parasitemia rates, the infected animals were divided into 3 subgroups (

Attempts at vaccine development for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) have been extensive, both because this is a significant health problem for cats and because FIV may be a useful vaccine model for human immunodeficiency virus. To date, only modest success, producing only short-term protection, has been achieved for vaccine trials in controlled laboratory settings. It is unclear how relevan...

Infrapopliteal mycotic aneurysm resulting from endocarditis is rare, with only a few reported cases. We describe the case of a 28-year-old male patient who was suffering with pain and edema in the right leg. The ultrasound revealed an aneurysm of the right tibioperoneal trunk and a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The patient was admitted and developed acute congestive heart failure, being diagnosed...

Normal piglets weaned onto soy- or egg-based diets generated antibody responses to fed protein. Concurrent infection with transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) did not affect the responses to dietary antigens at weaning, nor did it affect the subsequent development of tolerance. However, TGEV infection did enhance the primary immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG1, but not IgG2, antibody response...

The urachus is the remnant of the cloaca, which in adults attaches the bladder dome to the umbilicus. After birth it obliterates and presents as the midline umbilical ligament. Patent urachal anomalies are usually detected in childhood. In adults they occur very rarely and the presentation and diagnosis may be occasionally challenging. We present and discuss the case of an infected urachal cyst...
