In recent decades, exotic pets are increasingly invited to homes with a wide range of variation in species and requirements that are more specialized. During a one-year period, 2408 exotic animals admitted to the Small Animal Veterinary Hospital, University of Tehran were assessed. Rabbits, hamsters, squirrels, turtles/tortoises, guinea pigs, lizards, hedgehogs, reindeer, monkeys, and snakes were referred, respectively. Owner referral cause and their gender in addition to the disease diagnosis were analyzed. While no statistical significance (P>0.05) was observed in the total number of men and women presenting these animals, gender-based preferences were spotted for owning specific types of animal species

Silver carbene complexes (SCCs), a group of novel silver-based compounds capable of gradually releasing silver ions, have shown significant antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacterial pathogens mainly isolated from human cases. The antimicrobial activity against animal isolated pathogens has yet been done. The in vitro efficacy of two SCCs with different carrier molecules (SCC1 with a methylated caffeine backbone and SCC22 with a dichloroimidazolium backbone) was investigated against three important animal and human pathogen species. SCC1 and SCC22 exhibited bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against multidrug resistant Salmonella Typhimurium (poultry isolate), E. coli 843 and E. coli 1568 (swine isolates), and the poul

     The current study was designed to determine the infection rate of intestinal protozoa in sheep and their handlers, and in their drinking water, in Wasit province, so as to study the relationship between contamination of drinking water with protozoal pathogen and infection in sheep and handlers in the period from the beginning of September 2015 to the end of February 2016. Two hundred eighty fecal samples were collected: (180) samples from sheep and 100 samples from human (50 handlers and 50 from non handlers), 50 drinking water samples were collected (18 samples; human tap water and RO bottled water and 32 samples river water). All samples were examined by conventional methods (direct moist smears, flotation with

     The present study aimed to investigate the infection ratio and pathological lesions in common carp fish in Kirkuk province. To achieve these goals, a survey study was conducted from 01/12/2015 to 01/04/2016. Results of the survey study showed that the infection ratio of acidity and alkalinity of pond’s water 27.88% (46/165), bacterial kidney infection 20% (33/165), water mold (saprolegniasis) 12.12% (20/165), spring viremia of common carp 11.52% (19/165), Coccidiosis 11.52% (19/165), fungal gill rot infection 7.27% (12/165), hemorrhagic septicemia 6.67% (11/165) and enteric parasite infection 3.03% (3/165). Pathological study showed that lesions in acidic and alkaline of pond’s water consisted from necrosis w

     The aim of this study was to evaluate three regimens in induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in local breed bucks and the investigation of the best protocol of them based on different parameters. Eighteen healthy adult bucks weighing (27.50 ± 0.682 kg), aged (1.989 ± 0.135 years) were used. Animals were divided randomly into three equal groups to undergo pre-experiment preparation. All groups were premedicated intravenously with (0.5 mg/ kg) Diazepam, ten min. Later, the induction for first group was done by Propofol (3 mg/kg B.W), second group was done by Ketamine Hcl (2 mg/kg B.W), while in the third group was done by Thiopental sodium (3mg/kg B.W). After intubation with suitable endotrac

Canine parvovirus 2 (CPV2) is a highly contagious and fatal disease of dogs, causing
acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis. In this study different mutant strains of the virus
were characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The fecal samples from infected dogs
suspected for CPV2 infection were collected in a suitable medium. The viral DNA from fecal
samples was extracted using specific kits, PCR were carried out with five different primer,
pCPV-2ab and pCPV-2b, to distinguish the strain prevalent in field condition. The primer
pCPV-2ab recognized both variant CPV-2a and CPV-2b, whereas the primer pCPV-2b
recognized only the variant CPV-2b, using the third primer pCPV to recognize the residual
base pair

Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing involves the application of pulses of voltage for less than one second to fluid products placed between two electrodes.  Streptococcus thermophilus is an important bacterium used for the production of fermented dairy products.  Objective of this study was to determine the influence of a mild PEF condition on the growth and protease activity of Streptococcus thermophilus.  A range of mild pulsed electric field conditions were earlier screened by the author to arrive at an optimum overall mild pulsed electric field condition for various probiotic characteristics.  Freshly thawed Streptococcus thermophilus was suspended in 0.1% w/v sterile peptone water an

     This study was designated to evaluate the protective role of alpha lipoic acid against oxidative stress resulted by hydrogen peroxide on some oxidants/ antioxidants  parameters and gene expression of glutathione peroxidase in  adult Wistar rats. Forty  adult male rats were randomly divided into four equal groups (10 rats /group) and were handled daily as follows for  56 days : Control group were intubated distal water and received ordinary tap water ; group T1 were intubated  60mg/kg B.W of alpha lipoic acid and received ordinary tap water ; group T2 were received  hydrogen peroxide in tap water at concentration of 0.5% , while group T3  were intubated  60mg/kg B.W of alpha

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of experimental infection by Escherichia coli on some blood parameters and histopathological changes in male rats to reach this objective twenty male rats (Rattus norvigicus) were divided into two groups, housed under same conditions of water, feed, temperature, light and humidity. The first one served as control group, while the second was experimentally infected with Ecoli by administration of 2ml / rat of (1×109) colony forming unit/ml of E-coli. Five days later blood were obtained from animals by cardiac puncture to measure the total and differential white blood cells count hemoglobin concentration packed cells volume red blood cells count, and thrombocytes count.

The seminiferous epithelium of the testes of cat consists of two groups of cells; Spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells. The interstitial areas are filled with Leydic cells, blood and lymph vessels, and connective tissue. Germ cells in the Spermatogenic process of the testis of cat can be classified into ten steps, based on the pattern degree of nuclear chromatin condensation. Primary spermatogonia contain large spherical nuclei with mostly euchromatin. Spermatogonia proliferate to give rise to spermatogonia type –A; Intermediate or type-I spermatogonia, and spermatogonia type-B. Type–B spermatogonia yield primary spermatocyte at the end of mitosis. The primary spermatocyte is transformed into secondary spermatocyte during meiosis I.
