    A mixture of sulphadiazine and trimethoprim (Tribrissen), diminazene aceturate (Ganaseg), par-vaquone (Clexon) and Imidocarb (Imisole) were compared with regard to action over Babesia gibsoni infection in dogs. All of them, except Imisole, eliminated mortality, decreased parasitemia and increased packed cell volume. The best response was observed with Clexon. Imisole seemed to have little effect against the disease.

    Arginine treatment was performed on four cows with ketosis and two healthy cows. Other cows were treated with dexamethazone. Each cow received 320g of arginine or 20mg of dexamethazone into the jugular vein. After infusion, blood samples were collected 9-13 times from this vein to determine pancreatic insulin (IRI) and glucagon (IRG), and blood glucose and lipid components.
    Low responses of IRG and IRI were observed on two of the four cows affected with ketosis. They were also observed in the healthy cows and the other two affected cows after having recovered from ketosis. One of the affected cows showed extremely high levels of IRG and IRI after arginine treatment. Response of IRI was later than a rise in glucose in the affected cows treated with dexa-methazone, as compared with the healthy ones.
    From the results mentioned above it seemed that ketosis might be related to hormonal disturbance in glucose metabolism.

    The protective effect of a commercial hog cholera live virus vaccine was tested on the infection with the three strains of hog cholera virus, Yamagata (type H), Miyazaki (type IM) and Fukushima (type B), which had been isolated from affected pigs during outbreaks of the disease in 1980.
    Among pigs inoculated with the commercial vaccine and challenged with each of the isolates, there were some differences in the time required for acquiring immunity. Five days after vaccina-tion, however, all the pigs were protected against challenge with each type of the isolates.
    When measured by using the 3 isolates, there was little difference in the development of virus-neutralizing antibody, except that the antibody measurable with the Yamagata strain tended to be produced slower than that demonstrable with the other two.
    Infective titers of the Miyazaki and Fukushima strains propagated in pigs and cell cultures were at almost the same level, while the titer of the Yamagata strain in pigs was more than 100 times as high as that in cell cultures. Pigs inoculated with a large amount of virus (105 MLD) of the Yama-gata strain died about one week after inoculation, whereas pigs inoculated with 1 MLD of the same virus died at about 2 weeks of illness. In the case of the Miyazaki and Fukushima strains, death occurred in almost the same course of time, regardless of the inoculum size. In these dead animals, high virus titers were demonstrated in all organs, sera and urine samples examined, showing no significant differences in virus distribution among the 3 strains.
    Histopathological investigation revealed no difference in pathological lesions among pigs ino-culated with the 3 strains. The findings observed in these animals were similar to those described in pigs inoculated with hog cholera virus strains isolated in the past.

    Recently, strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) were isolated from leg joints of chicks with synovitis. The chicks had been housed on five growing-chicken farms located in two prefectures in the Chugoku district of Japan, and all of them originated from two breeder flocks of the same farm. The had been hatched from eggs collected from hens affected with MG. Synovitis ap-peared in chicks at 70 to 100 days of age, and morbidity was about 6 to 20%. All the 21 chicks examined had synovitis. Respiratory symtoms, such as nasal discharge, were found in only four of these chicks. All the 21 chicks had hemagglutination-inhibition antibodies against MG and agar gel precipitin against infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Histopathologically, they showed hyperplasia of synovial cells, heterophilic infiltration, and involution of bursal follicles.
    MG was isolated from leg joints, breast blisters, trachea, air sacs and blood. When specific pathogen-free chicks were inoculated intravenously or intranasally with the isolates, all of them developed synovitis similar to that observed in field chicks, except those inoculated intranasally which remained unchanged. Synovitis was reproduced in chicks inoculated intranasally or intravenously with the isolates when IBDV was administered intraorally in the chicks at the same time. It was suggested that the appearance of synovitis in MG-infected chicks might be the result of the mixed infection with IBDV.

    Congenital portalsystemic shunt was diagnosed in two dogs, a 50-day-old female Shiba with hematuria and a 4-month-old miniature dachshund with neurologic signs. Laboratory findings were characteristic of hyperammonemia, hypoproteinemia and prolonged BSP retention. The ratio of branched chain amino acid to aromatic one was 1.02 in the serum of the dachshund. Plain radiography revealed the small liver and slightly enlarged kidney in both dogs, a cystic calculi in the Shiba, and the enlarged heart in the dachshund. Portal azygos anastomosis was diagnosed in the Shiba peripheral portal systemic collagerals in the dachshund (by angiography of the portal venous system.)
    The Shiba died of hepatic encephalopathy at 78 days of illness. The dachshund was alive even 15 months after the initial examination when fed a low protein diet.

    A newborn calf showed ataxia and mild systemic tremor. Microscopic examination disclosed perivascular cuffing throughout the white matter of the brain and proliferation of endothelial cells in the hepatic sinusoid. A high titer of neutralizing antibody against bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease (BVD-MD) virus was demonstrated in the serum collected in the postcolostrum stage.
    These findings suggested an intrauterine infection which might have been caused by BVD-MD virus and which showed mild pathologic changes.
