Eight hunting dogs were visited by a state veterinarian on the island of Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies, as owners reported anorexia and paralysis in five of their dogs. The veterinarian observed a combination of clinical signs consistent with tick-borne illness, including fever, anorexia, anaemia, lethargy and paralysis. Blood and ticks were collected from each dog and submitted to a diagnostic laboratory for analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • A model organism in developmental biology is defined by its research-friendly characteristics and community-created resources, but there are still very few widely used systems, particularly among certain species like the Spiralia.
  • Researchers have developed a comprehensive developmental transcriptome for the bivalve mollusk Mytilus galloprovincialis, enhancing the experimental protocols available for studying this organism.
  • This transcriptome allows for better understanding of developmental progression and enables comparative studies with other bivalves, while new techniques for gene expression mapping provide critical resources for advancing Mytilus galloprovincialis as a viable model system in developmental biology.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a sound database for the hematological reference intervals of thoroughbred foals in Trinidad, West Indies from birth to 1 month of age.

Animals: 89 foals.

Methods: Whole blood samples were taken from 89 foals throughout Trinidad at approximately 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month of age.

The genus has an increasingly important role in the development of Integrated Pest Control against Tephritid fruit flies in aerial sprays targeting adults and soil treatments targeting preimaginals. Indeed, the soil is considered the main habitat and reservoir of spp., which may be a plant-beneficial microorganism due to its lifestyle as an endophyte and/or rhizosphere-competent fungus.
