Summary: Gastrointestinal parasite infections are a major limitation to sheep production worldwide, and this study examines the factors associated with strongylida egg counts in sheep on selected farms near Nairobi. The results show that gastrointestinal parasite infections are common in sheep, and farmers should be educated about the importance of appropriate control measures.

Summary: This study found that Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesion (FORL) can be divided into two subgroups, with FORL-1 subgroup having a less diverse oral microbiome and higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which may be associated with the severity and activity of the disease.

Summary: This study used morpho-molecular approaches to identify ticks and fleas in companion animals in Bangladesh and found that these ectoparasites pose potential threats to public health. The study also revealed a lack of concern among some animal owners regarding ectoparasitic infestations and related diseases. The findings will provide guidance for epidemiologists and policymakers in the region.

Summary: This study analyzed the effect of cyaA gene knockout on the biological characteristics and pathogenicity of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli. The results showed that cyaA mutation reduces growth rates, down-regulates the transcription levels of genes associated with carbon source utilization and adhesion invasion, and significantly reduces virulence.

Summary: The study revealed that Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus rapidly disseminated in various organs of pigs following oronasal inoculation, with tonsil samples consistently harboring the pathogen throughout the study period. The varying bacterial loads in mesenteric lymph nodes indicated persistence, replication, and a potential source for shedding.

Summary: Platelet-derived products have significant potential in regenerative medicine, particularly in tissue regeneration and complementary therapy. They offer a cost-effective and easily accessible therapeutic option for chronic inflammatory disorders, ophthalmic conditions, wound healing, and mandibular injuries in canine patients. Further research and exploration are necessary to fully understand the preparation and applicability of platelet products in canine medicine.

Summary: An 11-year-old female Persian cat underwent ovariohysterectomy due to dilation of the uterine cavity with irregular thickening of the wall. The pathological examination revealed multiple nodules originating from the endometrium, invading the myometrium and subserosa, and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of endometrial stromal sarcoma.

Summary: This study investigated the low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and lesion distribution in nonracehorses with MCP/MTPJ region pain. The results showed that soft tissue injuries were more common, with suspensory ligament branch injuries being the most frequent. In terms of osseous pathology, the subchondral bone (SCB) was most frequently affected, with the majority of lesions located on the dorsal aspect of the bone. The main limitations of the study were the lack of standardized diagnostic analgesia pattern and the absence of bilateral MRI sequences in all limbs.

Summary: This study focuses on the interaction between Hepialus xiaojinensis larvae and Ophiocordyceps sinensis during the infection process. The results show that the infected third instar larvae enhance antioxidant defense ability, while the infected fourth instar larvae reduce this ability and allocate more energy to growth and development.

Summary: This study performed a systematic review of the differential expression of sperm microRNAs in bulls related to fertility. A total of 182 unique differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, among which 49 miRNAs were found in common between at least two studies. The results suggest that miRNAs such as miR-10a, -10b, -103, -15b, -122, -125b, -126-5p, -151-5p, -193a-5p, -196a, -27a-5p, and -99b may serve as potential universal biomarkers for assessing the reproductive potential of males.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the passive immune transfer process and its effects in Turkish Kangal shepherd dogs. The findings showed that while the passive transfer success rate was high in Turkish Kangal shepherd dogs compared to other breeds, the high mortality rate among the puppies indicated that dams and their litters should be cared for more carefully in the neonatal period.

Summary: This study compared the carcass differences of Romanov and Kivircik lambs up to 6 months old using 2D geometric analysis. The results showed that the two breeds had similar overall shape but significant differences in the side view. Geometric morphometry can be an effective method for carcass discrimination.

Summary: This study used infrared thermography (IRT) to identify mastitis in Sahiwal cows. The results showed significant differences in the mean values of udder and teat surface temperature between healthy, subclinical mastitis (SCM), and clinical mastitis (CM) cases during different seasons. IRT is an efficient tool for the early identification of subclinical mastitis.

Summary: This study investigated the multimodal analgesic efficacy of ropivacaine-tizanidine combination in cats suffering from pyometritis during ovariohysterectomy. The results showed that the ropivacaine-tizanidine group had significantly different anesthetic recovery time and extubation time compared to the other groups, and it effectively reduced pain scores and delayed the need for rescue analgesia.

Summary: This study describes an outbreak of toxoplasmosis in captive Callithrix penicillata in Southern Brazil. The infected marmosets showed abnormal pathological features in the liver, spleen, and lungs, and Toxoplasma gondii was detected in multiple organs. The strains of the parasite were closely related to those found in non-primate species in the United States.
