Background: Canine astrovirus (CAstV) has been considered the primary cause of gastroenteritis in young animals worldwide, while canine vesivirus (CVeV) and canine circovirus (CCiV) are occasionally reported. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the existence and molecular characteristics for these three viruses in Turkey. Methods: Faecal samples from 150 shelter dogs with gastrointestinal pro...

Fifty-four new markers were developed to fill in gaps in the current map of canine microsatellites and to complement existing markers that may not be sufficiently informative in highly inbred canine pedigrees. Canine genes contained on the radiation hybrid map were used to obtain the sequence of the human homolog. A BLAST search versus the canine whole genome shotgun (wgs) sequence resource was...

background and aims. this study observed occlusal contacts and their area on the teeth during lateral mandibular movements. the percentage of each occlusal pattern was determined. materials and methods. fifty subjects (male: 27, female: 23), aged 20-29 years, were included in the study. the criteria for selection were as follow: all subjects (i) were in their twenties; (ii) had normal occlusal ...

AIM To assess the effectiveness of canine lacebacks on the proclination of the upper incisors with reference to pre-treatment canine tip. STUDY DESIGN Randomized clinical trial. SAMPLE Patients receiving upper and lower fixed appliances attending the orthodontic departments of five orthodontic treatment providers. Sixteen patients received canine lacebacks as part of their treatment and 19 ...

Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and its host range variant, canine parvovirus (CPV), can bind the feline transferrin receptor (TfR), while only CPV binds to the canine TfR. Introducing two CPV-specific changes into FPV (at VP2 residues 93 and 323) endowed that virus with the canine TfR binding property and allowed canine cell infection, although neither change alone altered either property. In...

A challenge-of-immunity study was conducted to demonstrate immunity in dogs 3 years after their second vaccination with a new multivalent, modified-live vaccine containing canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine parvovirus (CPV), and canine distemper virus (CDV). Twenty-three seronegative pups were vaccinated at 7 and 11 weeks of age. Eighteen seronegative pups, randomized into groups of six d...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to compare different surgical approaches to rapid canine retraction by designing and selecting the most effective method of reducing resistance by a three-dimensional finite element analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three-dimensional finite element models of different approaches to rapid canine retraction by reducing resistance and distraction were establish...
