Introduction: Canine Parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) infection poses a significant global health risk to susceptible dogs. Hypocobalaminemia, defined as reduced serum cobalamin (CBL) concentrations, is a recognized complication in chronic enteropathies in adult dogs but remains poorly understood in the context of acute enteropathies, especially in young dogs. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and severity of hypocobalaminemia in young dogs with parvovirus enteritis and evaluation of CBL as a predictor of outcome.

- - Gastrointestinal lymphoma is the most prevalent lymphoma in cats, with aggressive forms being rare and having a poor prognosis; due to sampling challenges, immunophenotyping isn't typically performed.
- - A study involving 32 cats diagnosed and categorized their gastrointestinal lymphomas using flow cytometry immunophenotyping, linking it to the WHO classification and clonality testing.
- - The study found high agreement between histopathology and flow cytometry, with 87.5% of cases showing consistency and positive clonality results in 87.5% of the patients, marking a significant advancement in lymphoma subtype identification.
Lymphoma is one of the most frequent hematopoietic tumors in dogs and shares similar features with human counterparts. MicroRNAs (miRNA, small non-coding RNAs) are pivotal in gene regulation fine tuning and cancer hallmarks are influenced by their aberrant expression. Consequently, miRNA biomarkers may assist predicting therapeutic response and clinical outcome by providing less-invasive novel diagnostics tools.

Nevertheless, little information is available on pathogenicity, transmission, tissue tropism, and immune response. The objective of this preliminary study was to induce a diagnostically detectable infection in naïve gilts using serovar Icterohaemorrhagiae to gain the knowledge required for designing a large-scale trial.

Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and causes of marked blood eosinophilia in dogs.
