Detection of Antibodies to Pasteurella multocida by capture enzyme immunoassay using a monoclonal antibody against P37 antigen Open
As infection with Pasteurella multocida is common in rabbits, an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was developed for its detection. A murine immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody was used to capture a 37-kDa polypeptide of P. multocida serotype A:12…
Cerebral larva migrans caused by Baylisascaris sp in pet rabbits Open
Cerebral larva migrans was diagnosed histologically in 4 pet rabbits that developed progressive neurologic disease. Larvae of Baylisascaris sp were isolated from brain tissues in 2 rabbits. The clinical syndrome of progressive torticollis …
Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica infections in rabbits Open
The natural history of infection with Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica in domestic rabbits was studied prospectively at a commercial rabbitry. At weaning, about 25% of rabbits had nasal infections with P. multocida and 7…
Pathogenicity of rotavirus in rabbits Open
The role of rotavirus in diarrheal disease of rabbits was investigated, and a model for human rotavirus infection was established. Orogastric inoculation of 8- and 12-week-old New Zealand White rabbits with a rabbit strain of rotavirus (L:…
Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies in Cats: Detection by Indirect Hemagglutination and Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Tests Open
The distribution of Toxoplasma gondii infection in cats is usually reported as specific antibody titers detected by the Sabin-Feldman dye test, indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test, or indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test. The dye test…
Characterization of<i>Mycoplasma pulmonis</i>Variants Isolated from Rabbits I. Identification and Properties of Isolates Open
Mycoplasma showing at least two colony types were isolated from the nares and oropharynx of New Zealand white rabbits. Two strains were purified by single-colony passages and characterized. Morphology by phase-contrast and electron microsc…
Characterization of<i>Mycoplasma pulmonis</i>Variants Isolated from Rabbits II. Basis for Differentiation of Antigenic Subtypes Open
The antigen composition of Mycoplasma pulmonis variants was studied by complement-fixation, agar-gel diffusion, and growth-inhibition tests. Two classes of complement-fixing antigens were demonstrated for M. pulmonis strains 47 and 63: (i)…
