Infectious Bronchitis, IB in chickens caused many clinical symptoms. Respiratory symptoms, decreased egg production, hens can not lay eggs, false layer, or death in very young chickens.
In these slides, is a case of Infectious Bronchitis in laying hens. This Poultry disease is caused by a virus IB QX variant. If this virus affecting chickens young age, it can cause the appearance of cystic oviduct which can be observed in adult chickens.
In young chickens, the visible symptoms are respiratory symptoms. Once the chicken grows up, it will look a chicken belly bulge, cystic oviduct, mostly chicken like this do not lay eggs, but there are unique, a little of the chicken can lay eggs,Why? visit fieldcasestudy.com
Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular bacterial parasite that can cause several human diseases. It was previously mistaken for viruses due to its inability to grow outside of host cells. There are three main species - C. trachomatis, C. psittaci, and C. pneumoniae. C. trachomatis can cause trachoma, inclusion conjunctivitis, and genital infections. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of samples to identify inclusion bodies or elementary bodies, culture, and antibody detection. Treatment involves antibiotics like erythromycin or azithromycin. C. psittaci causes psittacosis which presents with influenza-like symptoms while C. pneumoniae has been linked to respiratory illnesses
Four species of mycoplasma are important human pathogens: Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes pneumonia and joint infections, Mycoplasma hominis can cause postpartum fever and uterine infections, Ureaplasma urealyticum causes non-gonococcal urethritis in men and lung disease in premature infants, and Mycoplasma genitalium is associated with urethral and other infections. Mycoplasmas are the smallest self-replicating organisms and lack cell walls, making them resistant to penicillin but treatable with tetracycline or erythromycin. They can be found in the respiratory, genital, and urinary tracts as normal flora or pathogens
Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms that can cause diseases in humans. They lack cell walls and have minimal genetic material. Several Mycoplasma species can cause respiratory illnesses like pneumonia from M. pneumoniae or urogenital infections from M. hominis, U. urealyticum, and M. genitalium. They are difficult to culture but can be identified using PCR or serological tests. Mycoplasma pneumonia is most common in children aged 5-15 years old and is typically treated with tetracyclines or macrolides.
Histologically, the tonsil has the following features:
1. It is lined by stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium that dips into the underlying tissues to form crypts.
2. There are lymphatic nodules on the sides of the crypts with prominent germinal centers and mantle zones.
3. There are also mucous glands present and an incomplete connective tissue capsule.
This document discusses Corynebacterial toxins, with a focus on Corynebacterium diphtheriae and diphtheria toxin. It describes C. diphtheriae as a Gram-positive bacillus that can produce a potent exotoxin. The diphtheria toxin has two components - component A inhibits protein synthesis in host cells, while component B binds to host cell receptors to transport component A inside cells. The toxin is regulated by iron levels and encoded on a lysogenic bacteriophage. C. diphtheriae uses this toxin to cause the infectious disease diphtheria, which can lead to formation of a pseudomembrane and systemic complications affecting organs like the heart,
Pasteurella are gram-negative coccobacilli or rods that are facultative anaerobes and normal flora of the respiratory tracts of many animals. Pasteurella multocida commonly causes infections in animals and can infect humans through animal bites or contact. P. multocida is the most frequent human isolate and causes wound infections, cellulitis, bone/joint infections, and respiratory infections. Identification involves gram staining, culture on blood agar showing gray colonies within 24 hours, and biochemical tests showing oxidase and urease positive results.

Paramyxoviridae contains viruses that are transmitted via the respiratory route and can cause localized respiratory infections or disseminate throughout the body. Parainfluenza viruses resemble orthomyxoviruses in morphology but are larger and pleomorphic, with a helical symmetry, 18nm nucleocapsid, and negative-sense RNA genome. They cause respiratory infections in children and have six structural proteins, including envelope glycoproteins, that help mediate attachment and fusion to host cells. Human parainfluenza viruses are a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children.
This document discusses the genus Trypanosoma, which are single-celled parasitic protozoa that cause serious diseases in humans and animals. It describes their morphology and life cycles. Trypanosoma have a single nucleus, flagellum, and rounded or leaf-like body. They exist in three main forms: amastigotes which are spherical, promastigotes which are elongated, and trypomastigotes which are found in the bloodstream. Examples mentioned are T. lewisi, T. equiperdum, T. brucei gambiense, and T. cruzi. Symptoms in humans are provided for the different stages of infection, such as headaches, fever, and
This document discusses Schistosoma, the parasite that causes schistosomiasis. It covers the morphology and life cycle of Schistosoma, which involves snail intermediate hosts and human definitive hosts. The clinical manifestations of schistosomiasis depend on the species and include symptoms caused by the body's immune response to eggs trapped in tissues. Schistosomiasis remains a major public health problem in many developing countries. Diagnosis is via identification of eggs in stool or urine samples, with praziquantel being the treatment of choice. Control relies on treating humans and reservoir hosts as well as reducing contact between people and infected waters.
This document discusses Entamoeba coli, a non-pathogenic intestinal parasite commonly found in humans. It describes E. coli's life cycle between a trophozoite stage inside the intestine and a cyst stage passed in feces. Transmission occurs worldwide via the fecal-oral route through contaminated food or water. While usually harmless, large populations of E. coli can cause minor digestive issues. Diagnosis involves examining stool samples under a microscope for cysts or trophozoites. Treatment is not usually needed, but improved hygiene can reduce transmission.
This document discusses Mycoplasma, a class of bacteria that lack cell walls. It describes their general characteristics, examples of pathogenic species and diseases they cause, laboratory techniques for isolation and identification of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and genital Mycoplasmas, and serological tests for diagnosis of Mycoplasma infections. Key points are that Mycoplasma are the smallest free-living organisms, are difficult to culture, and cause respiratory and genital tract infections in humans.
1. The document summarizes the order Cyclophyllidea, which includes medically important tapeworms. It describes key characteristics like hooks on the scolex and lateral genital pores.
2. It then discusses several tapeworm species that infect humans and other animals, including their life cycles and pathology. The beef tapeworm Taenia saginata and pork tapeworm T. solium can cause cysticercosis in humans.
3. The document also covers the hydatid tapeworms Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis, which can form cysts in organs and cause hydatid disease in intermediate hosts like humans.
The document discusses the classification, identification, and clinical significance of streptococci and enterococci bacteria. It describes how they are classified based on their hemolysis, Lancefield grouping, and other biochemical tests. Key genera include Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus milleri group. Identification involves cultural characteristics, catalase testing, and antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Clinically important species are S. pyogenes (GAS) which can cause strep throat, scarlet fever, and rheumatic fever.
Respiratory diseases in poultry are common in commercial flocks and cause great economic loss to farmer. Major respiratory diseases of chicken are discussed briefly here with some uniqueness
This document provides an overview of the Enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria, including their classification, characteristics, clinical significance, and important pathogenic species such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Shigella, and Yersinia. Key features of Enterobacteriaceae include being Gram-negative, non-spore forming bacilli that are oxidase-negative, reduce nitrates to nitrites, and ferment glucose. They can cause a variety of opportunistic infections and some are primary intestinal pathogens. The document describes the microbiological properties and diseases associated with major pathogenic genera.

The document discusses infectious coryza, caused by Haemophilus paragallinarum bacteria. There are two main serotyping schemes for H. paragallinarum - Page and Kume. Page recognizes 3 serovars (A, B, C) that represent distinct immunovars and vaccines for one serovar do not protect against the others within the same serovar. Kume also recognizes 3 serogroups that correspond to Page serovars. Chickens develop varying degrees of natural immunity after infection, with full homologous immunity developing within 2 weeks against the same serovar but also some cross-protection between Page serovars.

Réanimation Cardio pulmonaire de base (RCP) par :Groupe Algérien de Médecine ...Islem Soualhi
La réanimation cardio-pulmonaire (RCP), ou réanimation cardio-respiratoire (RCR) — en anglais : Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) — est un ensemble de manœuvres destinées à assurer une oxygénation des organes lorsque la victime a cessé de respirer et est en état d'inconscience.
En effet, lorsque la circulation du sang s'arrête, les organes, dont le cerveau et le cœur lui-même, ne sont plus alimentés en oxygène et commencent à mourir : des lésions cérébrales apparaissent dès la troisième minute, et les chances de survie deviennent quasiment nulles après huit minutes d'arrêt circulatoire. Le fait d'oxygéner artificiellement le sang et de le faire circuler permet d'éviter ou de ralentir cette dégradation, et donc d'accroître les chances de survie.

Medicina felina bordetella bronchiseptica infection in cats. abcd guideline...Guillaume Michigan
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium that can cause respiratory infection in cats. It is transmitted through oral and nasal secretions. Infection can range from mild illness with fever and respiratory signs to severe pneumonia. Diagnosis is challenging as bacterial culture and PCR lack sensitivity. Treatment involves antibiotics even for mild cases, with doxycycline often recommended. Some countries offer an intranasal vaccine, though routine vaccination against B. bronchiseptica is not advised as it usually only causes mild disease.
G Kittens need a safe space in their new home to become acclimated and should be gradually introduced to the rest of the house. They also need their daily needs for enrichment, play, and litter box access to be met.
G Socializing kittens between 3 to 9 weeks of age through early handling is important for developing less fear-based behaviors toward humans later in life.
G Scratching is normal behavior for kittens and should be directed to appropriate surfaces rather than discouraged. Providing scratching posts can prevent the need to declaw.
G With the right information and early training, owners can form a lifelong bond with their kitten and set it up for behavioral health.
This document summarizes key concepts regarding epilepsy in cats. It discusses difficulties in applying human epilepsy terminology to veterinary medicine due to limitations of diagnostic techniques like EEG in cats. Epileptic seizures in cats can have varied clinical signs and their epileptic nature can only be suspected, not confirmed. The document also attempts to describe other non-epileptic conditions that could be mistaken for seizures and discusses hippocampal lesion-associated seizures. It focuses on clinical evaluation, treatment recommendations based on limited evidence, and uncertain prognosis. Critical commentary is provided due to weaknesses in existing studies.

1) The document discusses various feline soft tissue surgeries including cystotomy, perineal urethrostomy, and treatment of inflammatory nasopharyngeal polyps and idiopathic megacolon.
2) For cystotomy, a single layer closure is now often used instead of a double layer closure, and rapidly absorbable sutures like Monocryl or Biosyn that maintain support for 3 weeks are preferable.
3) For perineal urethrostomy, critical errors to avoid include failure to accurately suture urethral mucosa to skin and making the stoma in the penile urethra, which is prone to stricture.
