AbstractThe morbidity and mortality associated with canine parvovirus disease (CPV) is caused, in part, by endotoxin (LPS). Equine anti‐endotoxin hyperimmune plasma (Anti‐LPS) was administered to 89 CPV patients in addition to conventional therapy. In Anti‐LPS treated CPV patients mortality was lower (16‐8 per cent, 15/89) than in controls that received conventional therapy alone (66‐7 per cent, 24/36,P<0–0005). The hospitalization period of survivors was reduced from 8‐5 ± 4‐0 days (controls) to 5‐2 ± 2‐0 days (Anti‐LPS treated group). These results suggest that an anti‐endotoxin specific therapy should be incorporated into the treatment regimen of CPV, and possibly, other canine enteric disorders, know

摘要:

AbstractThe food‐borne zoonoses are the most important zoonoses in England and Wales measured in terms of human morbidity and mortality and they include the most important emerging infections. Over the past decade there were over 100,000 laboratory reported cases of salmonellosis, about 1–5 per cent with serious extra‐intestinal complications with 427 registered deaths; there were nearly 90,000 Campylobacter infections. In salmonellosis the sources and modes of spread of infection are largely known, but veterinary and human public health measures have so far failed to control the disease. In Campylobacter enteritis however, the source and spread in most of the reported cases are unknown and control is not yet possible. Amongst the remaining less common food‐borne zoonoses, listeriosis and yersiniosis are most prominent. Both are increasing with food‐borne outbreaks of both infections having been reported, but the origin of infection of most cases recorded in England and Wales is not known.Of the new food‐borne or water‐borne diseases the most common are giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis but in neither is it clear whether the infections are predominantly of human or animal origin. The place of haemorrhagic colitis and ofS. zooepidemicusinfection is not yet apparent, both may emerge as important zoonoses. Streptobacillary fever, on the other hand, seems unlikely to recur with normal hygienic standards of water and milk supply.Of the occupational zoonoses Q fever and leptospirosis are the most important. Although only 1,330 cases of Q fever were reported in 10 years, it is a severe disease; 123 of them had endocarditis. Leptospirosis probably increased in incidence and emerged as a new disease of farmers and others working with cattle.S. suistype 2, a ‘new’ disease, remained a rarity.Zoonoses acquired from pets made up only a small proportion of human zoonotic infections and the only apparent change was an increase in psittacosis, the reason for which is unknown.Lastly, among the zoonoses acquired from wild and captive animals the viral haemorrhagic fevers have emerged as an important hazard in hospitals

摘要:

AbstractOver a wide area of the warmer parts of the world the dog is the principal reservoir of human visceral leishmaniasis (kala‐azar), a serious and widespread protozoal disease. Following recent reports of canine leishmaniasis in the United Kingdom, this clinically vague, relapsing disease is being recognized more frequently in imported dogs. After reviewing clinico‐pathological and epidemiological aspects of the disease, this paper discusses practical problems such as the availability and relatively low efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents, mandatory serological testing of dogs in quarantine, the legal aspects of diagnosis in quarantine and the use of imported drugs. The public health risks inherent in the management of a relapsing zoonosis potentially capable of infecting man in the absence of the insect vector are evalua
