“…Gingivitis is the initial, reversible, and preventable stage of periodontal disease, and it may develop to periodontitis, involving the progressive and irreversible destruction of the periodontal tissues [1,21]. Complications include chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis, faucitis, and chronic gingivostomatitis [22]. Therefore, it is desirable to swiftly diagnose gingivitis cases.…”

The association between gingivitis and oral spirochetes in young cats and dogs

Although gingivitis frequently occurs in young cats, spirochetes are often found in the early stages of periodontal disease. This study was conducted to determine the association between gingivitis and oral spirochetes in young cats and dogs. The degree of gingivitis was evaluated in a total of 68 cats and 31 dogs under one year of age, and plaques were collected from each carnassial. To detect spirochetes or Porphyromonas gulae in plaque samples, 16S rRNA gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers. All data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact probability test and odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The prevalence of gingivitis was significantly higher in young cats (92.6%) than in young dogs (45.2%). The positive rate of spirochetes by PCR in gingivitis cases was 85.4% in young cats and 15.4% in young dogs, and the positive rate of P. gulae was 66.7% in young cats and 15.4% in young dogs. Both results were significantly higher in young cats than in young dogs. In young cats, spirochetes were significantly associated with gingivitis (OR = 7.95; 95% CI = 1.17, 53.83; P < 0.05), but P. gulae was not (OR = 2.44; 95% CI = 0.38, 15.66; P = 0.23). These results suggest that spirochetes may be associated with the early stages of periodontal disease in cats.

“…This finding in ADIN is therefore not unusual for a lynx of his age. In domestic cats, gingival recession is typically associated with periodontitis ( 71 ). Thus, visible cemento-enamel junction at an increasing distance from the gingival margin over time, which seemingly corresponds to further tooth eruption or extrusion, is likely rather due to chronic gingival retraction.…”

Management of Suspected Cases of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Infection in Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) During an International Translocation Program

et al. 2021

The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) population in Switzerland serves as a source for reintroductions in neighboring countries. In 2016–2017, three lynx from the same geographical area were found seropositive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in the framework of an international translocation program. This novel finding raised questions about the virus origin and pathogenicity to lynx, the emerging character of the infection, and the interpretation of serological results in other lynx caught for translocation. Archived serum samples from 84 lynx captured in 2001–2016 were retrospectively tested for FIV antibodies by Western blot. All archived samples were FIV-negative. The three seropositive lynx were monitored in quarantine enclosures prior to euthanasia and necropsy. They showed disease signs, pathological findings, and occurrence of co-infections reminding of those described in FIV-infected domestic cats. All attempts to isolate and characterize the virus failed but serological data and spatiotemporal proximity of the cases suggested emergence of a lentivirus with antigenic and pathogenic similarities to FIV in the Swiss lynx population. A decision scheme was developed to minimize potential health risks posed by FIV infection, both in the recipient and source lynx populations, considering conservation goals, animal welfare, and the limited action range resulting from local human conflicts. Development and implementation of a cautious decision scheme was particularly challenging because FIV pathogenic potential in lynx was unclear, negative FIV serological results obtained within the first weeks after infection are unpredictable, and neither euthanasia nor repatriation of multiple lynx was acceptable options. The proposed scheme distinguished between three scenarios: release at the capture site, translocation, or euthanasia. Until April 2021, none of the 40 lynx newly captured in Switzerland tested FIV-seropositive. Altogether, seropositivity to FIV was documented in none of 124 lynx tested at their first capture, but three of them seroconverted in 2016–2017. Diagnosis of FIV infection in the three seropositive lynx remains uncertain, but clinical observations and pathological findings confirmed that euthanasia was appropriate. Our experiences underline the necessity to include FIV in pathogen screenings of free-ranging European wild felids, the importance of lynx health monitoring, and the usefulness of health protocols in wildlife translocation.

“…Penyakit periodontal merupakan salah satu dari berbagai penyakit yang tercantum dalam literatur sebagai penyebab kemungkinan terjadinya inflamasi (Santos et al, 2012). Prevalensi penyakit periodontal hampir 85% pada anjing dan kucing dewasa, yang tersebar luas pada kucing peliharaan (Maciel et al, 2020). Bakteri yang tumbuh di dalam rongga mulut, terutama bakteri anaerob, telah ditetapkan sebagai salah satu agen penyebab FCGS (Love et al, 1990).…”

Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) merupakan penyakit yang menimbulkan peradangan dan menyebabkan rasa nyeri pada rongga mulut kucing. Penyakit ini ditandai dengan peradangan mulut berkepanjangan dan dapat berlangsung berbulan-bulan hingga bertahun-tahun. Laporan ini bertujuan membahas FCGS pada kucing kampong/lokal, berjenis kelamin jantan, berumur tujuh tahun, dan bobot badan 4,5 kg. Kucing diperiksa di Laboratorium Ilmu Penyakit Dalam, Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan, Universitas Udayana. Kucing mengalami hipersalivasi disertai dengan penumpukan saliva di area mulut, disfagia, dan bau busuk tercium dari mulut. Pada rongga mulut ditemukan plak menempel pada gigi premolar, serta peradangan dan ulkus pada gusi, mukosa alveolar, lipatan palatoglosus (fauces), dan permukaan lidah. Pada pemeriksaan sitologi ulas mulut kucing ditemukan adanya bakteri Gram negatif berbentuk basil pendek. Berdasarkan anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, pemeriksaan sitologi ulas mulut, kucing didiagnosis mengalami Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis. Penanganan yang dilakukan berupa terapi simptomatis dan pembersihan plak gigi melalui penyiangan(scaling). Kucing diberikan antibiotik dan antiradang berupa amoxicillin 10 mg/kg BB (PO) dua kali sehari selama tujuh hari, dan dexamethasone 0,125 mg/kg BB (PO) sekali sehari selama tiga hari. Setelah terapi oral selama tujuh hari, dilakukan pembersihan plak melalui terapi penyiangan(scaling) gigi menggunakan ultrasonicscaler. Hasil dari observasi selama tujuh hari setelah penanganan, terjadi perubahan pada gigi yang ditandai dengan tidak adanya hipersalivasi, peningkatan nafsu makan, bobot badan, dan berkurangnya peradangan pada mukosa gingiva. Namun sayangnya, area palatoglosal masih mengalami peradangan. Pengobatan yang diberikan terhadap FCGS bersifat simptomatis, tidak secara kausatif. Pada pengobatan ini peradangan pada rongga mulut membaik tetapi karena penyebab pasti dari penyakit ini masih belum diketahui, maka ada kemungkinan gejala kambuh kembali.
