Endoparasites of working donkeys in Ethiopia: epidemiological study and mathematical modelling
A mathematical approach was used to model seasonal variation of cyathostomin faecal egg output, and in simulating anthelmintic control strategy. The model is based on parameters of biological development of cyathostomins and climatic data. A good fit of the model prediction to the field data was …

Bacteriology of the reproductive tract of the peri parturient ewe and its relationship with fertility
This study took place over 3 years during which the occurence of vulval discharge was monitored in a commercial sheep flock of 400 mule ewes. Vulval discharges were found to be physiological (Type 1), occuring immediatly after normal parturition and consisted of clear red coloured mucus which was …

Assessment of a methodology for determination of H[2]O[2] concentration and pH in exhaled breath condensate in horses with and without lower airway inflammation
Measurement of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration and pH in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is useful for detection and monitoring of diseases of the lower respiratory tract in humans, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In contrast, limited information on the use of …

Differential diagnosis of tick-borne diseases and population genetic analysis of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina
Abstract: Tick-borne diseases are a constraint to livestock production in many developing countries. They are responsible for high morbidity and mortality resulting in decreased production of meat, milk and other livestock by-products. The most important tick-borne diseases of livestock in …

Equine interferon-gamma and associated cytokines
… micro-organisms. Following the trend in human medicine, the cytokines produced will be useful for the development of new therapeuticals and prophylactics to be used in the control and prevention of infectious diseases of the horse. For this effect we have initiated studies on equine …

Studies into the effects of gonadectomy on the canine urinary bladder with reference to acquired urinary incontinence in the bitch
Acquired urinary incontinence in the canine is a distressing and debilitating condition affecting up to 20% of neutered bitches, whilst less than 1% of entire bitches and males suffer from this condition. Although a number of medical and surgical therapies exist for treatment of acquired urinary …

Studies of the microenvironment and microflora of the canine external ear canal
The aims of this study were to investigate aspects of the aural microenvironment in dogs. The aural microflora, histological features of the aural integument, and biochemical components of cerumen from healthy canine ears and those with otitis externa were studied. Interactions between canine …

Some aspects of nasal disease in the cat
The aim of this study was to describe the radiographic signs of cats with chronic nasal disease and to assess the level of agreement between two independent observers in identifying these features. Nasal radiography of 85 cats were reviewed retrospectively by two independent observers. Computed …

Diagnostic imaging of the tympanic bulla and temporomandibular joint in the dog, cat and rabbit.
The area of the skull incorporating the tympanic bulla (TB) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is significant clinically in the dog, cat, and more recently the rabbit. Diagnostic imaging is important in the assessment of disease of these structures but there is a relative lack of comparative …

Total intravenous anaesthesia in dogs: development of a target controlled infusion (TCI) scheme for propofol
… (TIVA) technique to be used in dogs by veterinary surgeons in practice. As PPF is a poor analgesic agent, this work also looked into the development of a co-infusion scheme for the potent alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist medetomidine (MED) and its active enantiomer dexmedetomidine (DEX). The …

Analysis of senescence-like growth arrest induced by RUNX1 and its fusion derived oncoproteins
Cellular senescence is an end point of a signal transduction programme leading to irreversible cell cycle arresst accompanied by characteristic alterations to cell morphology, biochemical properties and gene expression profile. This phenotype can be triggered by a variety of stimuli including …

Transgenic complementation of rumpshaker with wild type proteolipid protein
Mutations in the x-linked myelin proteolipid protein 1 gene (PLP1) cause the heterogeneous syndromes of Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease (PMD) and Spastic paraplegia type 2(SPG2) in man (Hudson et al., 2004). A single base change mutation in our spontaneous mouse model rumpshaker (Plpjp-rsh)(Ile186Thr) …

Characterisation of factors that regulate homologous recombination and antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei
Trypanosoma brucei is an evolutionarily divergent eukaryotic parasite of mammals in sub-Saharan Africa and is transmitted by the tsetse fly vector. To evade the mammalian immune response, T. brucei utilises antigenic variation, which involves switches in the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) …
