Article Synopsis
- Mastitis is a serious condition affecting the mammary glands of lactating bitches, occurring in about 1% of dogs and 5.3% of reproductive health issues.
- A study analyzed milk samples from 87 dogs with either clinical or subclinical mastitis, revealing that 93.2% had bacterial growth, identifying 47 different bacterial species.
- The most commonly found bacterial families were Staphylococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, and Enterococcaceae, with some bacteria being new discoveries for canine health and also common in human milk.
Background: A century of debates on the taxonomy of members of the Metastrongyloidea Molin, 1861 led to many reclassifications. Considering the inconstant genus assignation and lack of genetic data, the main aim of this study was to support the validity of the genus Perostrongylus Schlegel, 1934, previously considered a synonym of Aelurostrongylus Cameron, 1927, based on new molecular phylogenetic data and to understand its evolutionary relationships with other metastrongyloid nematodes.
Results: Specimens of lungworm collected from European badgers in Germany, Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina were morphologically and molecularly (rDNA, cox1) characterized.
Presence of mastitis in lactating bitches can become life threatening for both the bitch and pups. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a possible utility of C-reactive protein (CRP) in both milk and serum for canine mastitis diagnosis. Our study showed that milk CRP levels ranged between 0.
