Prevalence and diversity of enteric spp. in healthy and diarrheic cats.

Background And Objectives: Helicobacters are gastric and enterohepatic and live in the gut. The role of enterohepatic Helicobacters as intestinal pathogens is uncertain, while stomach Helicobacters are well-known. The prevalence of species in cat feces helps us understand their impact on cat health and human disease transmission.

Investigating the effect of mesenchymal stem cells on the rate of clinical and pathological improvement of asthmatic lung in mouse model.

Asthma is a pulmonary disease and its pathophysiology includes inflammation, obstruction, edema of the airways, and mucus secretions in the airways. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are self-renewal that use the therapeutic potential of these cells can be applied as treatments of asthma. In this study, the effect of Mesenchyme stem cells on asthma was investigated.

toxicity of combination of amitraz and carvacrol on .

Background: Canine generalized demodicosis is an inflammatory skin disease, which usually has time-consuming and frustrating treatments.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the acaricidal activity of carvacrol as a green drug and a combination of carvacrol and amitraz on mites and investigate mites' survival lifetime.

Methods: Mite samples were collected from a dog affected by demodicosis and had been diagnosed with deep skin scrapings.

Dextranase enzyme and Enterococcus faecium probiotic have anti-biofilm effects by reducing the count of bacteria in dental plaque in the oral cavity of dogs.

Objective: Periodontal disease is a common clinical complication and has a negative impact on the quality of life and the welfare of companion dogs. Periodontal disease occurs when pathogenic bacteria are accumulated in the gingival sulcus, which favors biofilm formation. The oral health of dogs can be significantly compromised by dental plaque accumulation.

The evaluation of normal ocular parameters in two breeds of hedgehogs.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate conjunctival microflora and measure normal tear production and intraocular pressure (IOP) in two breeds of hedgehogs (long-eared hedgehogs and Brandt's hedgehogs).

Methods: Forty-eight hedgehogs from two different breeds were chosen for the study. Tear production was measured using the Schirmer tear test (STT) and phenol red thread test (PRTT) in both eyes.

The evaluation of the effect of tafluprost on the intraocular pressure of healthy male guinea pigs under different light-and-darkness regimes.

Background: Ocular hypertension is one of the most underdiagnosed ocular abnormalities among guinea pigs around the world.

Objectives: The current study investigates the effect of 0.0015% preservative-free tafluprost ophthalmic solution (Zioptan) on the intraocular pressure of 16 healthy male guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) under different light/darkness regimes.

Molecular characterization of canine and feline kobuvirus infections in Iran.

Kobuviruses are viral pathogens with broad host range presented in human gastroenteritis cases; but, the pathogenesis of these viruses in companion animals is not well described. In the present study, the presence of canine (CaKVs) and feline kobuviruses (FeKVs) was detected in the 100 fecal samples of diarrhoeic and healthy companion dogs and cats by polymerase chain reaction in Tehran, Iran. The prevalence of infection was estimated as 8.

Effects of topical administration of tafluprost and combination of tafluprost and timolol or tafluprost and betaxolol on Schirmer tear test, intraocular pressure, and pupil size in clinically healthy dogs.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 0.0015% preservative-free (PF) tafluprost alone and in combination with 0.5% timolol maleate or 0.
