Molecular Analysis of Carnivore Protoparvovirus Detected in White Blood Cells of Naturally Infected Cats
Balboni et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2018) 14:41 DOI 10.1186/s12917-018-1356-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Molecular analysis of carnivore Protoparvovirus detected in white blood cells of naturally infected cats Andrea Balboni1, Francesca Bassi1, Stefano De Arcangeli1, Rosanna Zobba2, Carla Dedola2, Alberto Alberti2 and Mara Battilani1* Abstract Background: Cats are susceptible to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and canine parvovirus (CPV) variants 2a, 2b and 2c. Detection of FPV and CPV variants in apparently healthy cats and their persistence in white blood cells (WBC) and other tissues when neutralising antibodies are simultaneously present, suggest that parvovirus may persist long-term in the tissues of cats post-infection without causing clinical signs. The aim of this study was to screen a population of 54 cats from Sardinia (Italy) for the presence of both FPV and CPV DNA within buffy coat samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA viral load, genetic diversity, phylogeny and antibody titres against parvoviruses were investigated in the positive cats. Results: Carnivore protoparvovirus 1 DNA was detected in nine cats (16.7%). Viral DNA was reassembled to FPV in four cats and to CPV (CPV-2b and 2c) in four cats; one subject showed an unusually high genetic complexity with mixed infection involving FPV and CPV-2c. Antibodies against parvovirus were detected in all subjects which tested positive to DNA parvoviruses. Conclusions: The identification of FPV and CPV DNA in the WBC of asymptomatic cats, despite the presence of specific antibodies against parvoviruses, and the high genetic heterogeneity detected in one sample, confirmed the relevant epidemiological role of cats in parvovirus infection.

ECOLOGY and IMMUNE FUNCTION in the SPOTTED HYENA, CROCUTA CROCUTA by Andrew S. Flies a DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State
ECOLOGY AND IMMUNE FUNCTION IN THE SPOTTED HYENA, CROCUTA CROCUTA By Andrew S. Flies A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Zoology Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior 2012 ABSTRACT ECOLOGY AND IMMUNE FUNCTION IN THE SPOTTED HYENA, CROCUTA CROCUTA By Andrew S. Flies The immune system is one of the most complex physiological systems in animals. In light of this complexity, immunologists have traditionally tried to eliminate genetic and environmental variation by using highly inbred rodents reared in highly controlled and relatively hygienic environments. However, the immune systems of animals evolved in unsanitary, stochastic environments. Furthermore, socio-ecological variables affect the development and activation of immune defenses within an individual, resulting in a high degree of variation in immune defenses even among individuals with similar genetic backgrounds. The conventional immunology approach of eliminating these variables allows us to answer some questions with great clarity, but a fruitful complement is to quantify how the social and ecological factors impact the immune function of animals living in their natural, pathogen-rich environments. Spotted hyenas ( Crocuta crocuta ) have recently descended from carrion feeding ancestors, and they routinely survive infection by a plethora of deadly pathogens, such rabies, distemper virus, and anthrax. Additionally, spotted hyenas live in large, complex societies, called clans, in which the effects of social rank pervade many aspects of hyena biology. High-ranking hyenas have priority of access to food resources, and rank is positively correlated with fitness. However, very little research has been done to understand basic immune function in spotted hyenas or how socio-ecological variables such as rank can affect immune function.

Danish copyright law restricts all other use without written permission of the publisher. Exception is granted for short excerpts for review purposes. iv Foreword The first edition of the Antibiotic Use Guidelines for Companion Animal Practice was published in autumn of 2012. The aim of the guidelines was to prevent increased antibiotic resistance. A questionnaire circulated to Danish veterinarians in 2015 (Jessen et al., DVT 10, 2016) indicated that the guidelines were well received, and particularly that active users had followed the recommendations. Despite a positive reception and the results of this survey, the actual quantity of antibiotics used is probably a better indicator of the effect of the first guidelines. Chapter two of these updated guidelines therefore details the pattern of developments in antibiotic use, as reported in DANMAP 2016 (www.danmap.org).

Canine Parvovirus: a Predicting Canine Model for Sepsis F
Alves et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2020) 16:199 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-020-02417-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Canine parvovirus: a predicting canine model for sepsis F. Alves1†, S. Prata1,2†, T. Nunes1,3, J. Gomes2, S. Aguiar1,3, F. Aires da Silva1,3, L. Tavares1,3, V. Almeida1,3 and S. Gil1,2,3* Abstract Background: Sepsis is a severe condition associated with high prevalence and mortality rates. Parvovirus enteritis is a predisposing factor for sepsis, as it promotes intestinal bacterial translocation and severe immunosuppression. This makes dogs infected by parvovirus a suitable study population as far as sepsis is concerned. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the differences between two sets of SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) criteria in outcome prediction: SIRS 1991 and SIRS 2001. The possibility of stratifying and classifying septic dogs was assessed using a proposed animal adapted PIRO (Predisposition, Infection, Response and Organ dysfunction) scoring system. Results: The 72 dogs enrolled in this study were scored for each of the PIRO elements, except for Infection, as all were considered to have the same infection score, and subjected to two sets of SIRS criteria, in order to measure their correlation with the outcome. Concerning SIRS criteria, it was found that the proposed alterations on SIRS 2001 (capillary refill time or mucous membrane colour alteration) were significantly associated with the outcome (OR = 4.09, p < 0.05), contrasting with the 1991 SIRS criteria (p = 0.352) that did not correlate with the outcome. No significant statistical association was found between Predisposition (p = 1), Response (p = 0.1135), Organ dysfunction (p = 0.1135), total PIRO score (p = 0.093) and outcome.

Box 12, Rehovot, 76100, Israel; Tel: +972-3-9688556; Fax: +972-3-9604079; Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A 10-week old female Italian Cane Corso puppy was presented with a history of mucoid diarrhea and vomiting, and a presumptive diagnosis of parvoviral infection. The dog presented with severe leukopenia and was hospitalized and treated intensively with intravenous fluids, electrolytes, glucose, antibiotics, hu- man albumin and antiemetics. Clinical and hematological improvement was noted, and the white blood cell count normalized. However, on the fifth day, neurological signs and intractable hypoglycemia had occurred and the dog was euthanized. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and necropsy revealed bacterial menin- goencephalitis due to a multi-resistant Escherichia coli strain. This same E. coli was isolated also from the lungs, liver and spleen, and likely spread systemically due to septicemia. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of blood identified the presence of DNA of the recently discovered canine parvovirus strain 2c (CPV-2c).

Canine Parvovirus Information for Dog Owners
Canine Parvovirus Information for Dog Owners Key Facts Canine parvovirus is a very contagious viral infection that occurs globally. Disease typically affects unvaccinated puppies (< 6 months of age) but can occur in unvaccinated dogs of any age. Clinical signs often include depression, not eating, vomiting and profuse diarrhea which is often blood tinged. Severe disease can result in death. Testing and subsequent treatment need to be initiated immediately; mortality is high and prognosis worsens as dogs develop more severe illness. Vaccination is highly effective at protecting against parvovirus. The virus is extremely hardy; contaminated environments can remain a source of infection for months. What is it? Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly infectious The virus usually enters the dog through sniffing and environmentally resistant virus that occurs or eating infected feces or direct contact with an throughout the world. Veterinarians most often infected dog. Dogs can shed the virus before diagnose infection after owners bring their dog they show signs of illness and for several weeks (usually a puppy) to be examined because they after disease has resolved. Therefore, even dogs are suddenly very sick (e.g. not eating, vomiting, that appear healthy can transmit parvovirus.

Pathogens in Free-Ranging African Carnivores: Evolution, Diversity and Co-Infection
Pathogens in free-ranging African carnivores: evolution, diversity and co-infection DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) im Fach Biologie eingereicht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät I der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Diplom Biologin Katja Verena Goller Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekan der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät I Prof. Dr. Andreas Herrmann Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Richard Lucius 2. Prof. Dr. Heribert Hofer 3. Prof. Dr. Alex D. Greenwood Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 04.04.2011 SUMMARY The ecological role of most wildlife pathogens is poorly understood because pathogens are rarely studied in relation to the long-term population dynamics of wildlife hosts. Instead, pathogen infections are reported on a case basis or studies are focused on periods when patho- gens cause noticeable mortality in their hosts. However, pathogens that appear to be of low virulence may also have an important effect if they operate in a synergistic fashion or affect life history parameters such as longevity or reproductive success. Furthermore, the effect of pathogens on population dynamics may be difficult to detect in wildlife, for example if they reduce the survival of young age classes that are rarely observed. Until now, research on the life history consequences of pathogen infection has mainly been confined to laboratory stud- ies where animals are raised and kept under strictly defined conditions, or to small, short lived species such as rodents, birds or insects, as well as to human populations. The aim of this thesis was to address these problems by assessing the impact of single infec- tions and co-infections by pathogens on key life history parameters and the influence of life history traits on infection status in a free-ranging social carnivore species, the spotted hyena Crocuta crocuta.
