Bovine CBC reveals concurrent BLV and Anaplasmosis
...naplasma marginale. Confirmatory testing included BLV PCR and Anaplasmosis ELISA. Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus spread by contact with bodily fluids through biting flies, breeding, colostrum/milk, and certain management practices. Infections can results in asymptomatic carriers or severe clinical disease. Approximately 40% of infected cattle will develop persistent lymphocytosis, as seen in this case. Although numbers vary between st...

...the detection of EHDV antibodies by the AGID test, virus neutralization or ELISA. EHDV can be isolated in cell culture from heparinized blood and from the spleen and other blood-rich tissues. Numerous real-time RT-PCR formats for the detection and serotyping of EHDV are used in diagnostic laboratories. In the United States, there are no commercially available vaccines to prevent EHD. The use of autogenous EHDV inactivated vaccines is permitted in...

Neospora caninum Abortion in Cattle
...f pregnancy, and they are more common in dairy cattle than beef cattle. An ELISA test for serum antibodies is available, but the presence of antibodies does not necessarily incriminate the organism as the cause of an abortion. Definitive diagnosis of Neospora abortion depends on evidence of the organism in the fetal tissue by histopathology and/or PCR testing. The organism has an affinity for brain and heart tissue in the fetus, and these organs m...

There is no treatment for pseudorabies. Pseudorabies is reportable to the Texas Animal Health Commission. In summary, pseudorabies should be considered a differential diagnosis for neurologic disease of domestic animals exposed to feral swine populations. Due to public saf...

The histopathological examination revealed tenosynovitis and epicarditis with lymphoid aggregate formation, lesions consistently found in systemic reovirus infections. Reovirus was isolated from the affected tendons. Some strains of reovirus can cause viral arthritis. These strains are transmitted both vertically and horizontally in poultry. Viral arthritis may...

Conventional ELISA antigen detection can be performed, but may be limited since ferrets tend to have a low heartworm burden and since detectable female worms may not be present. Ferrets can be put on a monthly heartworm preventative to help prevent heartworm disease. Consultation with a practicing veterinarian is recommended for heartworm prevention administration.

Testing for antibodies against N. caninum in maternal serum by ELISA or IFA tests are used to determine the herd and individual animal infectious status, but alone, the presence of maternal antibodies does not prove neosporosis as the cause of the abortion. In cattle, fetal mummification occurs after formation of the placenta and fetal ossification. Fetal mummification needs to be differentiated from fetal maceration, in which the fetus...
