Published: January 2024

Abstract: The rapid increase in global aquaculture have exposed many diseases in aquaculture field, enterococci are one of them. Tilapia is one of the most important and economic fish species in the world. Hundred and thirty diseased farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) had been investigated for Enterococci collected from different farms in Abbassa, Sahl Elhusseineya, Altal alkabir, Bahr Albaqar, Al Manzalah, Ismailia, Port said during both spring and summer seasons. Two species were identified by automated identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing system (ID&AST) as E. faecalis and E. faecium. In vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing for these two species showed high susceptibility to ampicillin, penicillin, streptomycin, and gentamycin while, E. faecalis was sensitive to vancomycin but E. faecium was resistant to it. These species were confirmed by 16s rRNA as Enterococcus. The two species showed sensitivity and resistance to many antibiotics. Ninety fish with an average weight 50-250 g were exposed to pathogenicity test. Fish were randomly divided into three groups, each contain thirty fish then divided into triplicate (10 fish per replicate). Fish of the first and second groups were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 ml of bacterial suspension of the 2 species, with comparison of a control group they showed high pathogenicity level (77% for E. faecium and 73% for E. faecalis), also the histopathology revealed vascular congestion and infiltration with inflammatory cells in examined organs tissues (brain, liver, kidney, spleen and heart). In conclusion, E. faecalis and E. faecium were the most common subspecies of Enterococci showing high pathogenicity for Nile tilapia fish in Egypt.Keywords: Identification, Tilapia, Enterococci, Pathogenicity, Histopathology,

Abstract:This study summarizes the impact of Fusarium solani on Oreochromis niloticus with evaluation of the efficacy of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for decreasing its possible consequences on fish health was investigated. Fifty samples of fish ration were collected for isolation and identification of Fusarium solani. One hundred and sixty O. niloticus clinically healthy, average weight of 59.25±1.04 g was distributed into four groups. First group was a control negative group (C). Second group (F) was infected with Fusarium solani (1x 104 zoospores of Fusarium /ml). Third group (F+S) was fed a basal diet containing S. cervisaie 1 g/ kg ration daily and injected intraperitoneally with Fusarium solani. Fourth group (S) was fed a basal diet containing (S. cervisaie) daily. The experiment extended for five weeks then all groups were challenged with Pseudomonas aeroginosa (3x 107 CFU/ml). Bacteriological findings of the intestinal microbiota revealed significant increase (log10 CFU/ml) in total bacterial count (TBC) in the (F+S) group (4.51±0.012) and decreased gradually from the 1st week to the 5th week, while the (S) group showed slight increase in TBC than (C) group (P<0.05). The haemato-immunological parameters after 3 weeks in the (S) group showed significant increase in serum lysozyme activity and total leukocytic count. After five weeks there were a marked decrease in serum lysozyme activity and total leukocytic count in (F) group. After the challenge, there was a significant decrease in serum lysozyme activity and total leukocytic count in (F) group. Lymphocyte count and gamma globulin were significantly higher in (S) group than group (C) (P<0.05). The Pathological lesions in gills, liver, muscles in (F) group showed sever degenerative changes, necrosis and leucocytic infiltrations. The lesions in group (F+S) were milder. It could concluded that S. cerevisiae can be used in ration of O. niloticus under immune-depressive stressful condition (fungal infection) to increase their resistance. Key words: Fusarium solani, Oreochromis niloticus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, immunostimulants.

Abstract: A total of 82 female cows with signs of congestive heart failure (CHF) were examined clinically and echocardiography at Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Zagazig University, Egypt. Sixty-seven were diagnosed as traumatic pericarditis (TP) and 15 as non-traumatic pericarditis (non-TP). inappetence, fever, abnormal heart sounds, brisket edema were the most common clinical finding of both diseases. Recurrent tympany was an additional clinical sign in cows with TP. Respiratory acidosis, anemia, leukocytosis, and hyperfibrinogenemia were the main altered hematological parameters in both diseases. There are significant increases in all cardiac biomarkers concentration (Cardiac troponin I (CTnI), Cardiac troponin T (CTnT), Creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB), Lactic dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH), amino-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and endothelin) in TP and non-traumatic pericarditis (non-TP). Whilst CTnI, CTnT, and CK-MB are the cardiac biomarkers that significantly differentiate between TP and non-TP. In conclusion, clinical evaluation couldn't differentiate between TP and non-TP while ultrasonography and CTnI, CTnT and CK-MB were of high diagnostic value for differentiation between both diseases.Keywords: Cardiac biomarkers; biochemical alterations; cattle; hematology; traumatic pericarditis; non-traumatic pericarditis.

Authors: El-said Basma , Mahmoud Abdel Raouf , Mohamed Sobhy , Gouda Shaimaa 
Published: January 2024

The Egyptian domestic (Baladi) dog has been increasingly adopted as a companion animal. Breed-specific cardiovascular reference intervals (RIs) are useful for clinicians in identifying abnormalities. The study aimed to estimate RIs for different heart indices in healthy male Baladi dogs. Twenty-six dogs were recruited to the study. Dogs were approved to be healthy. Afterwards, they were consciously examined by electrocardiography, echocardiography, and radiography. RIs were estimated using a bias-corrected bootstrapping approach. Electrocardiographic RIs were heart rate: 103 – 132 (beats/minute); P: 0.02 - 0.04, T: 0.03 - 0.04 waves durations (seconds); P: 0.13 - 0.23, R: 1.19 - 1.51, T: 0.20 - 0.27 waves amplitudes (mV); and PR: 0.11 - 0.17, QRS: 0.06 - 0.08, QT: 0.41 - 0.44 intervals (seconds). Echocardiographic parameters included end (diastolic: 29.95 - 46.49, systolic: 5.54 - 10.32) volumes (ml); ejection fraction: 76.23 - 83.41 (%); stroke volume 25.13 - 37.41 (ml); fractional shortening: 0.43 - 0.51 (%); interventricular septal thickness (diastole: 7.61 - 8.55; systole: 12.19 - 14.12 mm); left atrial to aortic root ratio (0.98 - 1.06); left ventricular diameter (diastole: 27.86 - 33.34, systole:14.42 - 18.14 mm) and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (diastole: 9.71 - 13.5; systole: 14.73 - 18.33 mm). Right lateral radiographs heart axes (long: 5.31 - 5.67, short 3.67 - 4.03 vertebrae) and VHS: 9.04 - 9.64 (vertebrae). No significant associations were identified between the measurements and body weight, age, and heart rate. In conclusions our results emphasized the importance of establishing Baladi‐specific RIs.

Livestock meat is considered a potential source of human infection, therefore evaluation of the infection rate with Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) in these animals’ meat is needed for public health protection. Serum and meat samples were collected from slaughtered animals (n=106) (27 sheep, 42 cattle and 37 camels) from slaughterhouses in Aswan Governorate, located in southern Egypt. T. gondii infection status was detected by Latex agglutination test (LAT), microscopic examination and PCR. Our results revealed that the overall prevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies among serum samples was 48.1 % using LAT. Male sheep, cattle, and camels had a higher positive percentage (42.9 %, 69.4% and 33.3 %, respectively) than females (40 %, 50 % and 30.8 %, respectively). The infection rate of T. gondii was higher in adult sheep and camels, while it was lower in adult cattle (64.5 %) than in young (72.7 %). There was a high statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.01) between the animal species using LAT. T. gondii trophozoites were detected microscopically in 47.1 % of meat samples, while T. gondii DNA was detected in 56.9 % by using conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (cPCR) based B1 gene. There was no significant difference between the results of both microscopy and PCR methods. In conclusion, PCR outperforms LAT in the detection of T. gondii infection and can thus be applied to routine diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in red meat producing animals.

Biosecurity application in poultry farms means measures or practices which limit or prevent the spread of many harmful pathogens onto or out of the farm. When teamed with disinfection and sanitation procedures, biosecurity practices can eradicate or reduce pathogens to noninfectious levels and this illustrate that prevention is better than cure. Such preventive measures as vaccination and serologic monitoring also help to ensure good flock health. Inadequate biosecurity can contribute to creation of wide epidemics of highly pathogenic diseases such as avian influenza virus. For data collection, a predesigned questionnaire was created, and two visits were applied for investigating the application of biosecurity measures in the selected farms. Results summarize the response of the farm workers regarding the application of biosecurity measures in 244 farms under investigation. Regarding the number of farms with footbath, it was 150 (61%) in the first visit, although only 133 (56%) were filled with disinfectant. While, in the second visit, footbath number was significantly increased to 190 (78%) (χ12 = 12.68, P > 0.01) and 169 (69%) were filled with disinfectant (χ12 = 7.39, P > 0.01). The increased cleanliness of the area between the farm gate and poultry house was significantly increased from 68% in the first visit to 85% after the second visit (χ12 = 19.1, P > 0.01). As a result of the improved biosecurity measures observed in the second visit, the occurrence of avian influenza infection has significantly reduced from 36% to 20% in the farms under investigation. This in turn highlights the important role of biosecurity measures in the prevention and control of avian influenza infection. There is a need for more consideration on biosecurity measures targeting dead birds' disposal, changing shoes before entrance to the farm, presence of clothes for visitors, disinfection of injection tools,, disinfection machines and veterinary supervision.

Authors: YILDIRIM Büşra Güliz , ÖZALP GERÇEKER Gülçin 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ) can be used in pediatric cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the Turkish validity and reliability of the OMDQ in children aged 8 - 18 years diagnosed with cancer at two university hospital pediatric hematology/oncology clinics.
Methods: Children’s International Mucositis Evaluation Scale (ChIMES) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Mucositis Grading Scale were used in parallel form reliability. Thirty children with oral mucositis were included in the study at the inter-rater and test-retest reliability on the 14th and 15th days of chemotherapy treatment. Ninety-two children were included for the construct validity. Kappa Compliance Analysis, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and Cronbach’s alpha were evaluated.
Results: The content validity index was calculated for the scores given by the experts and the items were changed between .90 and 1.00. On the 14th and 15th days of chemotherapy treatment, the correlation values for each item of OMDQ were found to be over .64. In the construct validity, the patients’ mean age was 11.7±3.3, and 46.7% diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Cronbach Alpha value of OMDQ was .92. The OMDQ items showed a positive correlation with each other except for diarrhea questions. According to the WHO Oral Mucositis Grading Scale, 55.4% of the patients had grade 1 mucositis. The similar items of OMDQ and ChIMES had a positive significant relationship (p < .001).
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the OMDQ was a valid and reliable instrument in children aged 8 - 18 years diagnosed with cancer.

Published: January 2024

Aim: Our study aimed to establish a mouse model with colorectal cancer-induced peritoneal metastasis(PM) and to compare the efficacy of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapeutic agents, mitomycin C and oxaliplatin.
Materials and Methods: The peritoneal metastasis model was established in nude mice using the CC531 colon carcinoma cell line. Models with PM were randomized into four groups of seven animals each: Group-1, control group; Group-2, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC) with mitomycin C(MMC), and Group-3, HIPEC with Oxaliplatin(OXA).
Results: Tumor development was achieved in all animals. While the tumor burden decreased significantly in the treatment Group-2(p=.013). In the PM mouse model, hyperthermic intraperitoneal administration of MMC had a higher tumoricidal effect than hyperthermic intraperitoneal administration of OXA.
Conclusions: Our PM model provided a good opportunity to examine the efficacy of HIPEC and IPIP. Hyperethermic intraperitoneal mitomycin applied in the colorectal PM animal model was found to have higher tumoricidal activity than oxaliplatin. In future studies, we plan to evaluate efficacies of different drugs in the PM models we have created.
