Systemic inflammatory response syndrome in dogs naturally infected with Babesia canis: Association with the parasite load and host factors
(Elsevier, 2021)
The common signs of canine babesiosis caused by an infection with Babesia canis are fever, anorexia, lethargy, pulse alterations, anemia, and occasionally mild icterus. Dogs with these clinical signs can be divided into ...
Acute-phase response in Babesia canis and Dirofilaria immitis co-infections in dogs
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, Jena, 2017)
Babesia canis and Dirofilaria immitis are emerging and geographically overlapping vector-borne pathogens in dogs. Infection with B. canis leads to acute-phase response (APR) that can be mild to severe and results in either ...
Bovine foetal sex determinationDifferent DNA extraction and amplification approaches for efficient livestock production
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
Contents Foetal sex determination using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in mammals is based on the amplification of gender-specific foetal DNA sequences circulating in maternal blood. The bovine synepitheliochorial placenta ...
Parathyroid hormone response in treatment of subclinical hypocalcemia inpostpartum dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2020)
The aim of this study was to evaluate different treatments of postpartum subclinical hypocalcemia in dairy cows with emphasis on PTH response. Twenty four cows with subclinical hypocalcemia (Ca 1.4–2.0 mmol/L), out of 180 ...
Tresholds of blood variables obtained by receiver operating characteristic analysis for indication of fat and glycogen content in the liver of postpartum dairy cows
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2020)
The objective was to determine optimal thresholds of blood variables that are associated with liver lipid and glycogen content in dairy cows. Liver specimens of 15 Holstein dairy cows were taken 2 weeks postpartum (PP) and ...
Structural characteristics of circulating immune complexes in calves with bronchopneumonia: Impact on the quiescent leukocytes
(Elsevier, 2020)
Calf bronchopneumonia is accompanied by increased level of circulating immune complexes (CIC), and we analysed size, and protein and lipid constituents of these CIC with an attempt to elucidate the connection between the ...
Effects of dietary selenium-yeast concentrations on growth performance and carcass composition of ducks
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, CLAYTON, 2017)
The aim of the present study was to assess effects of selenium (Se)-yeast diet supplementation on performance and carcass composition in ducks. The study was performed on 240 1-day old ducklings of the same origin (Cherry ...
Altered state of primordial follicles in neonatal and early infantile rats due to maternal hypothyroidism: Light and electron microscopy approach
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Thyroid hormones (TH) are one of the key factors for normal prenatal development in mammals. Previously, we showed that subclinical maternal hypothyroidism leads to premature atresia of ovarian follicles in female rat ...
The impact of the chromium supplementation on insulin signalling pathway in different tissues and milk yield in dairy cows
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
Thirty days before expected time of parturition, 20 Holstein cows were divided into -Cr and +Cr groups. From day 25 before parturition (BP) up to day 30 after parturition (AP), +Cr cows received 10 mg of Cr (chromium-enriched ...
Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae release extracellular vesicles with immunomodulatory properties
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Aims Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a newly discovered but universal communication tool between cells or organisms. However, few data exist on nematode EVs and none for Trichinella spiralis. Here, we aimed to ...
