    Hülsmeyer et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2015) 11:175 DOI 10.1186/s12917-015-0463-0 CORRESPONDENCE Open Access International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force’s current understanding of idiopathic epilepsy of genetic or suspected genetic origin in purebred dogs Velia-Isabel Hülsmeyer1*, Andrea Fischer1, Paul J.J. Mandigers2, Luisa DeRisio3, Mette Berendt4, Clare Rusbridge5,6, Sofie F.M. Bhatti7, Akos Pakozdy8, Edward E. Patterson9, Simon Platt10, Rowena M.A. Packer11 and Holger A. Volk11 Abstract Canine idiopathic epilepsy is a common neurological disease affecting both purebred and crossbred dogs. Various breed-specific cohort, epidemiological and genetic studies have been conducted to date, which all improved our knowledge and general understanding of canine idiopathic epilepsy, and in particular our knowledge of those breeds studied. However, these studies also frequently revealed differences between the investigated breeds with respect to clinical features, inheritance and prevalence rates. Awareness and observation of breed-specific differences is important for successful management of the dog with epilepsy in everyday clinical practice and furthermore may promote canine epilepsy research. The following manuscript reviews the evidence available for breeds which have been identified as being predisposed to idiopathic epilepsy with a proven or suspected genetic background, and highlights different breed specific clinical features (e.g. age at onset, sex, seizure type), treatment response, prevalence rates and proposed inheritance reported in the literature. In addition, certain breed-specific diseases that may act as potential differentials for idiopathic epilepsy are highlighted. Keywords: Idiopathic epilepsy, Dog, Breed, Epilepsy prevalence, Epileptic seizure Introduction in part underlying genetic backgrounds (see also Tables 1 Canine idiopathic epilepsy is a common neurological and 2) [5, 6].

Whether you’re joining us in Springfield or in Du Quoin, our state fairs bring together residents and visitors alike, to celebrate all that Illinois has to offer when we stand together – an all-the- more important mission this year. Illinois’ proud agricultural tradition has long been the force that drives our state forward, and the last 18 months have been no different. In March of 2020, when the world seemed to come to a halt, our state’s number one industry kept right on going. After all, there were still crops and animals to care for, deliveries to make, and people to feed. So, even in the face of a global pandemic, Illinois’ farmers, small businesses and commodity groups all came together to keep our food chain secure, a true testament to the vibrancy of the sector. And because no industry was immune to the pains of the last year, the Pritzker administration directed $5 million to help with livestock losses and other costs through our Business Interruption Grant program.

Pollet. Official language (FR). ORIGIN: Belgium. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 13.03.2001. UTILISATION: Originally a sheep dog, today a working dog (guarding, defence, tracking, etc.) and an all-purpose service dog, as well as a family dog. FCI-CLASSIFICATION: Group 1 Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs (except Swiss Cattle dogs). Section 1 Sheepdogs. With working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: In Belgium, at the end of the 1800s, there were a great many herding dogs, whose type was varied and whose coats were extremely dissimilar. In order to rationalise this state of affairs, some enthusiastic dog fanciers formed a group and sought guidance from Prof. A. Reul of the Cureghem Veterinary Medical School, whom one must consider to have been the real pioneer and founder of the breed. The breed was officially born between 1891 and 1897. On September 29th, 1891, the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club (Club du Chien de Berger Belge) was founded in Brussels and in the same year on November 15th in Cureghem, Professor A. Reul organised a gathering of 117 dogs, which allowed him to carry out a return and choose the best specimens. In the following years they began a real programme of selection, carrying out some very close interbreeding involving a few stud dogs. By April 3rd, 1892, a first detailed breed standard had already been drawn up by the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club.
