Article Synopsis
  • Pathogenic species of Leptospira cause leptospirosis, leading to serious infections in both animals and humans, particularly affecting major organs.
  • This study analyzed kidney injury and conducted a retrospective review from dog samples at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Timisoara over several years, focusing on correlation with factors like breed, gender, and infection status.
  • Findings revealed a significant link between unvaccinated dogs and increased leptospirosis risk, and compared diagnostic methods, showing that qPCR was more effective and specific for detecting leptospirosis than traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Article Synopsis
  • The study presents two cases of thoracopagus conjoined twin piglets, both with unique congenital malformations, including features like anencephaly and palatoschisis.
  • Case No. 1 shows severe skull and vertebral abnormalities, while Case No. 2 features a bifid root tongue and additional skeletal duplications.
  • Both cases highlight the complexity of conjoined twins and contribute to veterinary medicine by increasing awareness of their varied clinical presentations and associated internal organ anomalies.

(Frölich, 1789) is a widespread parasite known as the tongue worm belonging to the family Linguatulidae. The adult form of the parasite is usually located in the upper respiratory tract of domestic and wild carnivores while the larval forms are located in the visceral organs of intermediate hosts (various herbivorous mammals). Twenty-four European brown hares () were examined in this study, of which two were positive with nymphs.

Canine morbillivirus, also known as canine distemper virus (CDV), is the causative agent of canine distemper (CD), which is a serious contagious disease of canines, large felids, and, occasionally, raccoons. This study included seven raccoons from the Timisoara Zoological Garden, Romania. CDV was detected using RT-qPCR on blood samples, but several other exams were also performed-clinical, bacteriological, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and histopathology, toxicological screening, and necropsy-which confirmed CDV infection.

is an oomycete used in veterinary medicine to treat dermatophytosis in animals. The ovicidal potential against various types of parasite eggs has not been investigated. Ascarids are very common in young animals and the resistance of eggs in the external environment is very high.

The objective was the cytoarchitecture evaluation of known steroid dependent target tissues after administering of testosterone, compared to action of its more active ester, nortestosterone (nandrolone decanoate) in castrated rat males in the aim of Hershberger bio test. Study was performed on 30 castrated male Wistar rats, aged between 35 and 39 days, in peripubertal period, divided into five groups. Androgen doses administration begun at the rats' age of 49 days.
