Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Omar Almukhtar University, Libya
Eighty five E.coli isolates were isolated from 3-6 weeks old broiler chickens suspected to be suffering from colibacillosis, complicated CRD, diarrhea, arthritis, slow growth rate and high mortality up to 15% from the examined 300 broiler chickens from different flocks. 250 (83.33%) were infected with E.Coli and all flocks were (100%) positive for colibacillosis where 85 E.coli isolates were obtained from which, only 42 isolate were sero-grouped into O55 (5.88%), O26 (8.23%), O111 (3.52%), O128 (14.11%), O125 (2.35%), O86 (8.23%), O126 (7.05%) while 43 isolates cannot be sero-grouped according to the available antisera. The invitro sensitivity of the isolated strains to various chemotherapeutic agents revealed that all strains were sensitive to Kanamycin and Amoxacillin (100%). All strains were resistant to Trimethoprim. In vitro pathogenicity testing of the isolated E.coli using Congo red medium revealed that all isolated strains were pathogenic (Congo red positive)

Echocardiography and intra-cardiac dimensions have not previously been reported in adult egyptian zarabi goats despite its potential application for medical purpose. The chests of 11 adult male goats were examined at 3th - 6th intercostal space on both sides of the thorax using 2.6-6 MHz convex transducer. All chambers of the heart were clearly visualized in the parasternal long axis view from both sides. The both ventricles and ventricular outflow with appearance of the aortic root is best to visualize from the right side at 4th RICS (right inter costal space) and the transducer rotate bet 0°to30°caudally. Left ventricle with papillary muscle, chordea tendenea, mitral valve, aortic valve and pulmonary artery views were visualized at 4th RICS (right inter costals space) 2 cm above elbow and the transducer rotate at different angles bet 0°to90° perpendicularly on inter costals space. During systole and diastole, dimensions of the left ventricle were greater than those of right ventricle, whereas size of the ventricles was significantly greater during diastole thansystole (p>0.01). The dimensions of the interventricular septum, left and right ventricular free wall were greater in systole than diastole.

The ameliorative activity of aqueous extracts of the dates (Phoenix dactyliferaL.) and Licorice (Glycyrrhizaglabra) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity was studied in dogs. Fifteen dogs were divided into 3 equal groups of five each. Group 1 (CCl4-positive control) animals were injected intra-peritoneal with a fresh mixture of equal volumes of CCl4 and olive oil (1:1 – v: v) at doses of 0.6 ml/kg of body weight for 3 successive days and receiving normal saline orally (15ml/kg) for 14 consecutive days. Group 2 (prophylactic group) receiving both date and licoriceextracts orally for 24 consecutive days and treated with IP CCl4 on Days 10, 11, and 12 of the experimental period. Group3 (curative group) were received aqueous extract of date and licorice extracts for 14 consecutive days and were injected with IP CCl4 on Days 1, 2, and 3 of the experimental period. Liver damage was assessed by liver morphology, histology and estimation of plasma concentration of enzyme activities of alkalinphospatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferases (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and protein profile (total proteins, albumin, globulin and A/G ratio). Treatment with aqueous extract of date flesh and licorice significantly reduced CCl4-induced elevation in plasma liver marker enzymes concentrations and ameliorated histopathological liver damage and stop fibrosis and edema of hepatic parenchyma in dogs. Hence these synergistic effects of date and licorice extract can be used alone and/or in polyherbal formulations of hepatoprotective drugs, there by preventing the process of initiation and progress of hepatocellular diseases

Overview on Veterinary Acupuncture
A. A. Mohamed

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Menofia University (Sadat Branch), Egypt
Acupuncture has been used in veterinary medicine by the Chinese for thousands of years. It has been performed on many species of animals but it is most commonly done on dogs, cats, horses, cattle and birds. Acupuncture is a method of producing analgesia or altering the function of a system of the body by inserting fine, flexible, thin needles into the skin at specific sites on the body (acupoints) along a series ofinvisible lines or channels called meridians to balance the body’s vital energy, or “Qi or Chi“. There are 14 different meridians and through these meridians the Qi flows. The needles may be energized electrically, or warmed. According the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, when the Qi can not properly flow from one acupuncture point to the next, a disease state occurs. Therefore, the goal of acupuncture therapy is to unblock the stagnation and allow the Qi to flow properly throughout the body. With a free flow of Qi, the body is in balance, and there is no disease. The exact mechanism of acupuncture is under active investigation. Until recently, it was thought that each needle acts as an external stimulus which encourages the release of chemicals, natural painkillers called endorphins that are believed to initiate self-healing within the body. These changes then help to improve circulation, relieve muscle spasms, stimulate nerves, relieve pain and stimulate the body’s immune system. However, magnetic resonance imaging researches reported that comparison of images of brains of subjects with and without acupuncture indicated that the acupuncture deactivates areas of the brain that control pain. The use of acupuncture in conjunction with drugs and/or surgery can greatly improve your animal’s chances for a rapid and complete recovery

The current study was planned to isolate and identify the Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) from liver, lung, spleen and fetal fluid, collected from five aborted fetuses of Arabian mares at the last trimester of pregnancy, with condensing on the 6th case of early embryonic death at two months of pregnancy. Aborted fetuses and paired sera sample of their dames were submitted from a private stud in Cairo, with history of recurrent abortion. An attempt for isolation of the causative agent was carried on Chorio-Allantoic membrane (CAM) of specific pathogen free- embryonated chicken eggs (SPF-ECE) and tissue culture (VERO cells).EHV-1 was isolated from 5 out of 6 aborted cases (No.6 is one of them) given a characteristic pock lesion and CPE with titer ranged from 8 -9.5 log10 EID50 at 3rd egg passage and 7 -8.5 log10 TCID50 at 5th cell culture passage. Isolated virus was identified by Virus Neutralization (VN) test, Fluorescent Antibody Technique (FAT) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). On the other hand there was more than four fold increase in the EHV-1 antibodies titer by Enzyme Linked Immune-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) in the convalescent sera sample which indicates recent infection by EHV-1.

Micronization of chemical compounds is a new promising field as it reduces the size of the particles thus it increases their penetration power. Many theories prove that micronized particles are more effective even in very low concentration as compared to its normal size. Paracetamol is a commonly used effective analgesic and antipyretic agent for relief of mild and moderate pain. However, deliberate overdose or accidental overdose can cause hepatotoxicity. In the present study, we have evaluated and compared between the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects ofvitamin C and micronized vitamin C against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Activities of liver enzymatic markers (Alanine amino transferase "ALT", Aspartate amino transferase "AST", Alkaline Phosphatase "ALP") and total protein "TP" concentration were estimated in serum. Lipid peroxidation "MDA" and antioxidant status (reduced glutathione "GSH " concentration, glutathione reductase "GR", catalse and super oxide dismutase "SOD" activities) were measured in tissue homogenates. Paracetamol administration (600 mg/ Kg B.wt.) significantly increased the liver enzymatic markers and decreased the total protein level. It also increased hepatic lipid peroxidation “MDA” and the activities of both catalase and SOD while it decreased GSH content and glutathione reductase (GR) activity. Treatment of vitamin C and micronized vtamin C restore the measured parameters nearly to their normal levels. Finally, micronized vitamin C has a more potent effect than ordinary vitamin C.

In this study multiplex PCR was used for typing of Clostridium perfringens isolates from soil, clinically healthy and diseased sheep. Clostridium perfringens was isolated from 41 out of 100 soil samples, 12 out of 100 clinically healthy sheep and 118 out of 200 sheep with enterotoxaemia signs. Genotyping of 41 isolates from soil indicated that 29 (70.73%) were type A, 3 (7.31%) were type B and 9 (21.95%) were type D. Of 12 isolates from clinically healthy sheep 6 (50%) were type A and 6(50%) were type D. Of 118 isolates from diseased sheep 42 (35.59%) were type A, 22 (18.64%) were type B and 54 (45.76%) were type D. This result indicates that Clostridium perfringens type A, B and D are the main types causing enterotoxaemia in sheep in Egypt and Clostridium perfringens type A must be included in any vaccine programme to ensure optimum protection.

Thirty two cattle, had no neurological syndrome, were serologically positive to brucellosis by using Tube agglutination and Rose Bengal Tests, by the official veterinary authority in Beni Suef province, Egypt. These animals were slaughtered in Beni Suef abattoirs during the project of control and eradication of brucella positive animals in Beni Suef province. Postmortem examination was performed and the brain was mechanically removed. Longitudinally the brain was cut; one half was fixed in formalin 25% for 2 weeks and the other one were sent to microbiology department for bacteriological isolation. Transverse sections were done in the fixedtissue and samples were collected from cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla oblongata, thalamus, hypothalamus, and caudate nucleus. These samples were processed according to Bancroft and Gamble (2008). From the thirty two brain samples, no isolates of brucella species were recovered. From the thirty two brain samples, no isolates of brucella species were recovered. Brains of slaughtered animals showed no pathological lesions grossly. Microscopically, inflammatory reactions, degeneration, malacia, demyelination, pigmentation,and vascular changes were detected.

Effect of some neurotransmitters on pituitary in bull-camelThe present in vitro study is an attempt for profound exploration of the influence of some inhibitory (GABA and taurine) and excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamic acid and L-Argnine) on pituitary gland gonadotropic hormones in camels. For this purpose, neurotransmitters were added individually to pituitary cells in vitro. Results of current study revealed that addition of GABA alone has a potent inhibitory influence on gonadotropins release; an action which was dosedependent. In addition, exaggerated high dose of GABA added to culture resulting in depression of GnRH activity. Inhibitory neurotransmitter taurine preserved gonadotropins release within their normal values and maintained the stimulatory potentials of GnRH. On the other side, nitric oxide had a stimulatory action at small dose rates and a depressive effect at higher dose rates. Glutamic acid as the major endogenous excitatory neurotransmitter had a potent dose-dependent excitatory effect upon FSH and LH as well as GnRH stimulatory influence.

The effect of rabies infection and vaccination on pregnancy was investigated in different groups of pregnant rats as an animal model. Intracerebral and intramuscular experimental infection with CVS rabies virus strain was applied on four pregnant rats groups at the middle (seven days after mating) and late stages of gestation (14 days after mating). Subcutaneous rout vaccination of other three pregnant rat groups five to seven days before; seven and 14 days after mating with the inactivated cell culture local rabies vaccine. Each group of infected rats showed clinical signs of rabies although their fetuses did not show any abnormalities. Virus recovery from the placenta and fetuses from dead and sacrificed animals failed to induce rabies signs in mice inoculated intracerebrally with placenta and fetus suspensions while brains of infected dams; through the routes; revealed positive FA by using fluorescent antibody technique. Vaccinated pregnant rats did not show any abnormalities with normal fetuses and good levels of specific rabies antibodies when estimated by serum neutralization test. These findings indicate that rabies vaccination of pregnant animals is safe and it could be recommended to protect both of dams and their offspring in the first months.

Fatty liver is considered a serious problem in broilers as liver is the main organ involved in metabolism of all absorbed substances. In addition, fatty liver has a direct impact on the growth and performance of the chicken. One of the modern approach in controlling metabolic upset, is the use of probiotics, prebiotics in controlling this problems. Here we tried to summarize the protective role of some probiotics, prebiotics and other natural lipotropic factors and their mode of action against hperlipidemia and fatty liver in broilers.

Buxtonella sulcata (Jameson, 1926) is an intestinal protozoan of large ruminants, with scanty information and contradictious reports about its pathogenesity. This work aimed to investigate the prevalence rate of B. sulcata in Egypt. Forty eight cases collected from cattle (n= 29) and buffaloes (n= 19) from El-Mahalla El-Kubra area, Al-Gharbiya province. Samples were examined for the presence B. sulcata. The overall infection rate was 41.6% (20/48), in cattle 48.2% (14/29) and in buffalo 31.5% (6/19).

The present study was established to evaluate and compare stress response to anesthesia as well as surgery in sheep and goat. For this purpose, 5 rams and 5 bucks underwent anesthesia alone followed a week later by anesthesia with rumenotomy. Serum cortisol levels as well as differential leucocytic count were assayed just prior to anesthesia (0 time) and then after 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours post anesthesia. In the second experiment, blood samples were collected just prior to anesthesia (0 time) then after half an hour (0 time post rumenotomy) then after 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours post completion of rumenotomy. Serum cortisol levels in both species increased significantly and reach its peak one hour following anesthesia (3.31 ± 0.17 and 4.09 ± 0.12, respectively) which were higher than subsequent cortisol levels. In addition, Peak cortisol level in sheep obtained at 0 time post rumenotomy (4.39 ± 0.13) and 1 hour following rumenotomy in goat (3.45 ± 0.16). The significant increase in cortisol level persists for 6 hours and returns to normal level 24 hours following surgery.

Amani A. Saleh

Veterinary Serum and Vaccine Research Institute; Abassia, Cairo
The development of safe, novel adjuvant is necessary to maximize the efficacy of new and/or available vaccines. In this study, three different molecular weights of chitosan (low, medium, high) were evaluated as immunopotentiators/adjuvants of inactivated rabies vaccine in white Norway rats as an experimental model. Two concentrations (1.5% & 3% w/v) of each chitosan type were used in final concentration 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml. Results showed that lymphocyte proliferationwere significantly elevated (P < 0.05) in all chitosan vaccinated rats compared to aluminum hydroxide gel vaccinated one. All three type of chitosan produced accelerated and enhanced effects on rabies-neutralizing antibody responses in vaccinated groups. Increases in antibody titers together with lymphocytes proliferation responses revealed that chitosan induced both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. When compared with aluminum hydroxide vaccineadjuvant, chitosan was superior to aluminum hydroxide. The conclusion of these results suggested that chitosan with different MW had a strong potential to increase both cellular and humoral immune responses and that chitosan may be a promising and efficacious adjuvant candidate suitable for inactivated rabies vaccine.

This study was conducted to study the UV protective effect against Haemonchus contortus infection in goats. Sixteen male goats were divided into 5 groups, control infected, control uninfected and UV 30minutes; UV 60minutes and UV booster 60minutes exposure. The UV groups were exposed to UV irradiation at wave length 254nm for 30 and 60 minutes. The UV booster 60min was administrated 2 doses of exposed larvae with an interval of one month. All groups except the control negative one were challenged for 42 days from the beginning. In UV booster60min had reduction in egg count per gram feces and worm burden (93% & 34 % respectively). These parameters were similar in control infected, UV 30min and UV 60min groups. Increases in levels of antibodies were found in goats of UV booster 60min group the other groups. Finally, 2 doses of UV 60min exposure could protect goats from H. contortus.

In this study, the enteric parasites of zoo animals and zookeepers in Beni-Suef governorate, Egypt were investigated. Fecal samples from thirteen animal species were examined by floatation and formol ether sedimentation techniques. Zoo animals were classified into non-human primates, carnivores and herbivorous animals. The examination of non-human primates revealed the presence of Trichuris trichura eggs, Giardia intestinals and Entamoeba histolytica cysts. In carnivores, Toxoascaris leonina eggs and Isospora felis oocysts were the most predominantfindings. In herbivore wild animals, gastrointestinal nematode (GIT) eggs and Eimeria species oocysts were present. Larval identification by fecal culture of (GIT) eggs demonstrated the presence of Haemonchus contortus and Strongyloid papillosus larvae. Examination of zookeepers and one lab worker revealed the presence of Giardia intestinals and Entamoeba histolytica cysts. In conclusion, infection with Giardia intestinals and Entamoeba histolytica in both of human and nonhumanprimates suggests the zoonotic transmission in the zoo.

Bovine tuberculosis represents one of the very important infectious diseases in Egypt and the world. It has zoonotic importance and causes severe economic losses. Accurate and rapid diagnosis considered as the milestone for control of the disease. In this study ELISA technique was used for confirmation of positive reactors cows that tested with single intradermal tuberculin test, to detect false positive reactors. Bovine PPD and ST.CF antigens have been used as two different coatingantigens for ELISA technique. 3747 cattle from dairy farms in five different governorates were subjected to the single intradermal cervical tuberculin test whereas 78 (2.24%) proved positive reactors to tuberculin. These positive reactors tested with ELISA. 64 (82.05%) animals were positive by ELISA coated with ST-CF, while by using bovine PPD as coating antigen 58 (74.35%) animals were positive. The previous results indicated that ELISA test showed higher sensitivity and specificity using ST-CF as coating antigen than in case of bovine PPD coating antigen.

Fifty sheep from Suez Governorate were suffered from high mortality rate (10% in the herd), weakness, depression, congestion of all mucous membrane and intestinal diarrhea. Ration analysis revealed presence of aflatoxin B1 , contamination (300 ppb). Hemogram, biochemical and histopathological examination demonstrated. Hemogram in aflatoxicated sheep showed significant decrease in red blood corpuscles (RBCs) count, Hemoglobin % and pack cell volume (PVC). Normocytic norm chronic anemia as well as leucopenia as compared to control values.Hypoprotenemia, hypoalbumin, elevated liver and kidney enzyme were observed. Also, there was decrease in serum electrolyte (Ca, P, Mg, Na, K) as result of decrease re-absorption from the inflamed renal tubules. Also, demonstrated high residue of aflatoxin in liver, kidneys and muscles of affected sheep compared with normal one. Pathological examination of internal organs revealed severe damage in lung, heart, liver, kidney and intestine, that aflatoxins induced severe hepatic,renal and cardiac lesions which cause mortalities.

A total of 35 Sprague-Dawley adult rats were used to investigate the effect of aluminium toxicity on behavioural patterns of adult female rats and learning ability of offspring. Rats were allotted into 4 groups, group one received 2g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride (n=10), group two received 3g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride (n=10), group three received 3.5g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride in drinking water (n=10) and control group did not receive anhydrous aluminium chloride (n=5) from 8th day of pregnancy till weaning of pups. The obtained results showed that feeding time increased significantly in 2g/l and 3.5g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride groups than control one, while, litter licking frequency and nursing time increased significantly in 2g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride than other groups. On contrarylying time decreased significantly in rats treated with 2g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride than other groups, licking and scratching decreased in 3g/l and 3.5g/l anhydrous aluminium chloride groups. In considering, the time spent in closed arms by offspring pups exhibited much times significantly than control group, while, time spent in open arms of elevated plus maze decreased significantly in all treated groups than control group. On the other hand, number of entries in open arms significantly decreased in treated groups than control one.
