“…6 (4%) were the identified prevalence bacterial species from 150 pneumonic lung. In addition, Venkatesakumar et al, (2020) recorded that P. multocida (55.95%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.67%), K. pneumoniae (9.52%), and E. coli (8.33%) were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In other studies, Mahmoud et al (2005) and Saleh and Allam (2014) found that K. pneumoniae was the most prevalent bacteria with 48%, followed by S. aureus (44%) and Proteus spp (20%).…”

This study was conducted in Menofia governorate to determine the most common infectious diseases in beef cattle and associated risk factors. A total of 450 samples were collected from 150 diseased beef cattle of different ages, sex and seasons. Results of blood smears revealed that 14.7% were positive for blood parasites, including 9.3% and 5.4% for Babesia and Theileria infection, respectively. Meanwhile, fecal examination revealed that 67.3% were positive for at least one gastrointestinal parasite, including 18.6%, 10%, 22%, and 16.7% for Trichostrongylus, Moniezia, Eimeria species, and mixed infection respectively. Regarding the bacteriological examination revealed that 92% were positive for bacterial culture; Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Citrobacter, Proteus species and mixed infection represented 56%, 15.3%, 6%, 4.7%, and 10% respectively. Risk factor analysis revealed that sex and season were significant with Babesia infection, as the cold season and females gender were 6 times and 3.45 times more susceptible than the warm season and males, while in Theileria infection older age animals were 3.27 times more susceptible than young age as well animal age was the main significant risk factor in gastrointestinal parasitic infection as older age, were 1.991 times the young age of attainment Trichostrongylus infection while older age was 1.946 times the young age in Moniezia infection. Additionally, the season was significant determinant in respiratory tract infections as cold season, was 15.27, 14.46, 8.89, 4.48, 25.08 times more susceptible than warm season for Klebsiella, mixed infection, Citrobacter, Proteus, and Pseudomonas respectively. In conclusion, this study spot highlights on the most important infectious diseases among beef cattle in Menofia Governorate.

“…Cats are conventionally considered less prone to poisoning than dogs; however, a rise in admissions of feline poisoning cases has been observed in recent years [2,3]. Rodenticide ingestion has been the primary concern in cats and continues to be significant, with other toxicoses emerging in recent years [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Background and Aim: Poisonings commonly bring cats and dogs to veterinary emergency facilities. This retrospective study aimed to analyze clinical signs, confirmed or suspected toxicants, treatments, and outcomes of feline poisoning cases presented over 5 years to the emergency service of a small animal referral center. Materials and Methods: Medical records of 166 cats were evaluated for a history of confirmed or presumed poisoning, suspected toxicant, clinical signs, treatment, and outcome. Poisoning probability was determined using patient history, clinical findings, observation, toxicologic examination, and, in some cases, gastric contents. Results: Most cats were hospitalized (94.0%) due to poisoning with mostly unknown toxicants (48.2%), rodenticides (21.1%), and various toxic plants (12.0%), followed by antiparasitics (6.0%), chemicals (6.0%), drugs (4.2%), tetrahydrocannabinol (1.2%), or inhaled smoke (1.2%). Patients presented predominantly with neurologic deficits (68.7%), reduced general condition (60.2%), and hypothermia (43.4%). The survival rate was 88.6%. Most cats (93.2%) showed no apparent complications at the time of discharge from the hospital. Toxicant-related complications (48.2%) included thermodysregulation (22.9%), central nervous system signs (18.7%), respiratory issues (6.0%), nephrotoxicity (2.4%), gastrointestinal complications (4.8%), evidence of hepatic failure (4.8%), and hemorrhage (1.8%). Conclusion: In this study, the causative toxicant remained unidentified in many cases. Known poisonings were mostly caused by rodenticides. Neurological signs were the most common clinical presentation. Survival rates were high and comparable with those reported by others. Keywords: clinical signs, intoxication, outcome, seizures, toxicant.
