Objective To investigate the distribution and incidence of chytridiomycosis in
eastern Australian frogs and to examine the effects of temperature on this
disease. Design A pathological survey and a transmission experiment were
conducted. Procedure Diagnostic pathology examinations were performed on
free‐living and captive, ill and dead amphibians collected opportunistically
from eastern Australia ... hiện toàn bộ
A sandwich enzyme immunoassay for bovine interferon‐γ and its use for the detection of tuberculosis in cattle Tập 67 Số 4 - Trang 134-137 - 1990
J.S. Rothel, SL JONES, L.A. Corner, John C. Cox, P.R. Wood
SUMMARY An in vitro cellular assay for bovine tuberculosis has recently been
developed. This assay detects gamma‐interferon released in response to specific
antigen in a whole blood culture system. The bio‐assay previously described for
the detection of bovine gamma‐interferon (IFN‐γ) has now been replaced with a
sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA) which utilises two monoclonal antibodies to
bovine ... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of surgical or banding castration on stress responses and behaviour of bulls Tập 79 Số 4 - Trang 279-284 - 2001
Andrew Fisher, Terry Knight, G.P. Cosgrove, A. F. Death, Craig B. Anderson, D. M. Duganzich, Matthews Lr
Objective To compare the effects of surgical and latex banding methods of
castration in 14‐ and 9‐month‐old bulls. Design Two randomised, controlled
experiments. Procedure In Experiment 1, following administration of local
anaesthetic, 14‐month‐old bulls were castrated by either surgical or banding
methods, or left entire. Behavioural, plasma cortisol, plasma haptoglobin and
bodyweight responses w... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of a topical anaesthetic formulation, systemic flunixin and carprofen, singly or in combination, on cortisol and behavioural responses of Merino lambs to mulesing Tập 85 Số 3 - Trang 98-106 - 2007
DR Paull, Caroline Lee, Ian G. Colditz, S. J. Atkinson, Andrew Fisher
Objective To determine the pain responses of lambs to mulesing, and the
effectiveness of potential analgesic treatments.Procedures Merino lambs
(n = 64) were allocated at 5 weeks of age to eight treatment groups: 1) sham
mules; 2) conventional mules; 3) topical anaesthetic, incorporating lignocaine,
bupivicaine, adrenaline and cetrimide, applied immediately after mulesing; 4)
flunixin + topical ... hiện toàn bộ

Vanessa R. Barrs, Julia A. Beatty, Bethany Wilson, Nicholas R. Evans, Richard A Gowan, Randolph M. Baral, Amy E Lingard, G Perkovic, Jennifer Hawley, Michael R. Lappin
Objectives To define the prevalence of Bartonella spp., Rickettsia felis,
Mycoplasma haemofelis, ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ (Mhm) and
‘Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’ (Mtc) in cats and their fleas in eastern
Australia.Design and procedure Conventional PCR assays that detect Bartonella
spp., M. haemofelis, Mhm, Mtc, Rickettsia spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp.

Cardiac troponin I is elevated in dogs and cats with azotaemia renal failure and in dogs with non‐cardiac systemic disease Tập 86 Số 10 - Trang 390-394 - 2008
Francesco Porciello, Mark Rishniw, WE Herndon, Francesco Birettoni, Maria Teresa Antognoni, Kenneth W. Simpson
Objective To determine if dogs and cats with renal failure, or other severe
non‐cardiac disease, and no antemortem evidence of cardiac disease on basic
clinical evaluation, have elevated levels of cardiac troponin I
(cTnI).Design Cross‐sectional study using 56 dogs and 14 cats with primary
non‐cardiac disease (39 dogs with azotaemic renal failure, 14 cats with
azotaemic renal failure, 17 dogs with... hiện toàn bộ
Reduced quality of bovine embryos cultured in media conditioned by exposure to an inflamed endometrium Tập 86 Số 8 - Trang 312-316 - 2008
Jonathan R. Hill, R.O. Gilbert
Objective A suboptimal uterine environment contributes to the bovine repeat
breeder syndrome. Subclinical endometritis is a component, so the mechanism by
which inflammation affects embryo survival was investigated by assessing the
effect of non‐cellular products of an inflamed endometrium on embryo development
to blastocyst.Design Endometrial fluid from a lactating dairy cow was collected
by la... hiện toàn bộ
