JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSerum γ-GTP activity was tested in 119 cattle with various diseases to evaluate a diagnostic significance. An increase in γ-GTP activity corresponding to histological liver lesions was not affected with such traumatic muscle damage as that in downer cows. In the fatty liver serum γ-GTP activity was slower in response showing than serum GOT activity. T1/2 of BSP clearance was delayed to 15'40''±16'47'' in the case of increased γ-GTP activity (113.9±158.7mU/ml). As a result, the measurment of serum γ-GTP activity was considered to be useful for the examination of chronic liver lesions in cattle.View full abstractDownload PDF (726K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSHelminth infections broke out collectively in dogs of a breeder's kennel in Hojo-shi, Ehime, Japan in January, 1987. Helminth eggs were detected in the feces of 20 (80%) of 25 dogs kept in the kennel. Eggs detected were of Trichuris vulpis in 17 dogs (68%), Toxocara canis in 4 dogs (16%), and Ancylostoma caninum in 13 dogs (52%). The heavy helminth infections in this kennel was considered to have been induced by such favorable conditions for the parasites to be easily transmitted among dogs as that these animals had often been kept on the muddy ground.
Febantel was orally administered to 20 dogs positive for helminth eggs at a dose of 10mg/kg/day for 3 consecutive days. After the treatment, eggs completely disappeared within a week from the feces of 16 of 17 whipworm-infected dogs, 3 of 4 roundworm-infected dogs, and all the 13 hookworminfected dogs. In the other two dogs the parasites were completely eliminated by the following another administration of the drug. From these results, febantel seemed to be an excellent anthelmintic for the canine intestinal nematodes.View full abstractDownload PDF (653K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn a-few-month-old pandion fed only minced meat was presented with depression, anorexia, paraplegia and dangling the bilateral wings. Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism was suspected from the anamnesis and present status. Treatment was done by intravenous injection of calcium gluconate, subcutaneous injection of vitamin AD3E and vitamin complex, and oral administration of digestant, vitamin complex and calcium, while paying attention to feeding. Consequently, a remarkable recovery was recognize dat 3 weeks of treatment, and radiographs showed a recovery of fractures of the bilateral humeri. The subsequent course of recovery was satisfactory. The patient was almost completely recovered at 8 weeks of treatment.View full abstractDownload PDF (2944K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Relationship content and bacterial variables related to pollution were measured in water samples collected from the Arakawa River.
The degree of bacterial contamination as measured by the counts of coliform, gram-negative, and variable bacteria in stream water was found to reflect the pyrogen content. Based on the contamination with bacteria and pyrogen, the Arakawa River was divided as follows: the upper stream reaches A, B and C, middle stream reaches A and B, and the lower stream reaches. In the middle stream reaches B, the correlation between pyrogen and bacteria was significant, whereas the water temperature or pH value was not correlated with pyrogen or bacteria. Endotoxin contamination was to be largely dependent on human wastes.View full abstractDownload PDF (759K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMalignant hematopoietic tumors were found in 82 pigs and 28 cattle in Niigata Prefecture during a period from 1977 to 1984. They were diagnosed as myeloid leukemias (7 pigs and 2 cattle), monocytic leukemia (1 cow), malignant histiocytosis (1 pig), and lymphocytic leukemias (73 pigs and 25 cattle) by enzyme-histochemical studies. Peroxidase, non-specific esterase and acid phosphatase stain on frozen sections were useful for the differentiation of hematopoietic neoplasmas in slaughtered animals, as well as in human beings. Lymphocytic leukemia cells of a cow showed a positive reaction to acid phosphatase stain when touch smears were used.View full abstractDownload PDF (9510K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA survey on neutralizing antibody against Akabane virus was conducted on a total of 11, 574 nonvaccinated cattle in Hiroshima Prefecture over a period from 1972 to 1985.
Positive rate of Akabane antibody was 81% in 1973, 71% in 1975, 46% in 1976, 45% in 1977, 74% in 1978, 68% in 1979, 62% in 1980, 52% in 1981, 50% in 1982, 57% in 1983, 52% in 1984, and 83% in 1985.
A change in antibody positive rate to over 71 % was observed in years when the positive rate of Akabane antibody was reduced to 45% to 52%.
An increase in positive rate to over 48% was recognized in a cycle of 2-4 years, where as that to over 63% was in a cycle of 5-7 years.
An increase in Akabane antibody-positive cattle started in August to November in each year. The highest rate was recognized in September. Among mother cows of calves with the abortion-arthrogryposis-hydroencephaly syndrome, the antibody-positive rate was 87% in 1972, 1973, and 1977.
Anti-Akabane antibody was found in precolostral serum in 33%(3/9) of the normal calves in 1977.View full abstractDownload PDF (837K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSStudies were made to detect antibody against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). As a result, there was a marked correlation (r=0.90) between ELISA antibody and neutralizing antibody. ELISA and the method of neutralizing antibody (NA) estimation showed a rate of agreement on results obtained of 99.7%, confidence limits of 95%, PU of 100, and PL of 99.2.
Even serum of low NA titer presented essentially the same results in ELISA as in the method of NA estimation of high sensitivity by using sensitization overnight at 22°C. In conclusion, ELISA made ELISA made it possible to estimate NA against IBR virus rapidly and accurately on many serum samples.View full abstractDownload PDF (759K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn Kagoshima Prefecture, a number of congenitally abnormal calves were born from November, 1985, to April, 1986. They were not deformed, but weak and could not suck milk. Autopsy revealed hydranencephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia. In the neutralization test precolostrum calves were negative for Akabane virus. From epizootiological, pathological and virological- findings and congenital abnormalities the disease was diagnosed as a syndrome difffferent from Akabane disease.View full abstractDownload PDF (10632K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn enzootic of hemorrhagic pneumonia was found on a farm of 90, 000 mink in Nemuro-shi, Hokkaido. More than 15, 000 kittens of 55, 000 succumbed to the disease. The prominent clinical findings were dyspnea, hemoptysis and epistaxis.Pseudomonasaeruginosawas isolated from visceral organs. It was also isolated from the raw ingredients of feed. It was comparatively warm and humid in the district. Inspection revealed that cleaning and disinfection of the farm facilities were insufficient. In the following years, the disease was controled by the use of a halogen disinfectant and vaccination of kittens withP.aeruginosamulticomponent vaccine.View full abstractDownload PDF (719K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA tumor-like nodule was excised surgically from the orbit of a 9-year-old male dog showing exophthalmos. The nodule was nearly as large as chicken's egg with a light gray color and hemorrhagic and necrotic. It was eosinophilic granulomatous reactions, which consisted of infiltration of inflammatory cells, mainly eosinophils, and proliferation of fibroblastes with many microfilariae. Coagulation necrosis, irregular spaces appearing to have been made by parasites, and vascular degeneration were also recognized. From these findings, the orbital nodule was diagnosed as parasitic granuloma.View full abstractDownload PDF (6995K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn May, 1986, a 64-day-old piglet showed a respiratory symptom and died on a farm in Nagasaki Prefecture of Japan. Necropsy revealed hepatization and a large number of miliary-sized nodules in the kidney and the middle lobe of the right lung. Purulent foci were seen in the heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney. Purulent meningoencephalitis was also observed. Serotype 2 ofHaemophiluspleuropneumoniaewas isolated purely from these organs and the brain. The disease was diagnosed as septicemia due toH.pleuropneumoniae.View full abstractDownload PDF (3806K) -
