    A chronic disease occurred in a turkey flock in Ishikawa Prefecture of Japan in July 1990. Six turkeys showed depression and swelling of eyelids with lacrimation, and two of them died.Granulomatous inflammation with necrotic foci and bacterial aggregates appeared at the upper eye-lid, and Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida was isolated. The isolate was of Carter's capsular type A, Heddleston's type 1 and Namioka's type 0-5. It was pathogenic for turkeys by intravenous or intraorbital inoculation, while much less pathogenic for chickens by intravenous inoculation. In orbitally inoculated turkeys the naturally occurring symptoms were reproduced.

    Of apparently healthy 43 local breed chickens (Gallus gallus var. domesticus) widely distributed in the South Kyushu district, mycoplasma was isolated from the conjunctivae (6/15: 40%), nasal mucosa (5/16: 31.3%), oropharynxes (32/43: 74.4%), tracheae (8/21: 38.1%), airsacs (1/9: 11.1%) and cloacae (5/9: 55.6%), but not from 5 samples of the oviduct. A total of 94 strain clones of the isolates were identified as Acholeplasma laidlawii (6 clones), Ureaplasma gallorale (6), Mycoplasma gallinarum (26), M iners (1), M. gallisepticum (9), M synoviae (2), M. pullorum (18), M glycophilum (1), while the remaining 25 were unable to identify. In SPF White Leghorn chickens intratracheally inoculated with an M.gallisepticum isolate, airsacculitis and tracheitis were developed.

    In March 1991, two-Japanese Black new-born calves produced in Oita and Kagoshima Prefectures, showed inability to stand, tremor and opisthotonus. Autopsy of them revealed thickening of the frontal cranial bone and the cranial cavity was narrowed. The cerebrum and cerebellum were diminished to one third of the normal size with mild dilation of cerebral ventricles. Milliary whitish foci were seen in the medulla of the cerebrum. The cerebellar cortex showed hypoplasia. Histopathologically, larval worms of nematoda and their tracks were observed in the cerebrum associated with granulomatous lesions and infiltration of lymphocytes and eosionphils. The nematoda in the cerebrum were morphologically similar to Setaria marshalli. The present cases were considered as congenital brain nematodasis following the placental penetration of the worms.

    At a breeding farm with 20sows, 47 piglets (40-to 60-day-old) showed greenish to black, watery or muddy diarrhea and 33 (70.2%) of them died within about three weeks after the oneset. The disease was subsided two months later by antibiotic treatments and disinfection of the pen-enviroment. Salmonella Choleraesuis was isolated from two affected piglets, and the isolates were shown to have 50 kb-plasmid and 180 kbtransmissible R plasmid, showing multiresistance to antibiotics.

    A pedicle graft from the bulbar conjunctiva was applied as a surgical treatment in 16 clinical cases of advanced corneal diseases (4 deep stromal ulcers, 5 descemetoceles, 5 ulcerative perforations, 2 traumatic corneal ruptures) in dogs and cats. Affected corneas were healed adequately and became clear without any opacity on the nongrafted area, although premature suture off and conjunctival dehiscence of graft were seen. Retention of scar in proportion to the size of pedicle flap was noticed in all cases, except one desemetocele case, in which cornea was became completely normal.

    An aqueous extract of Amanita virosa was orally administered to a beagle dog, which was sacrificed in 48 hr. Pathology revealed hemorrhagic enteritis in the lower ileum as well as degeneration and necrosis in the liver and kidneys.
