Article Synopsis
- White-tailed antsangies, a type of Madagascan rodent, were found to have an outbreak of H. nana, a type of tapeworm, marking the first recorded case in this species.
- The examination of the affected rodents revealed cysticerci (larval form of the tapeworm) in multiple organs, including the intestines and liver, and identified gross lesions through histopathological methods.
- DNA testing confirmed the presence of H. nana in all cases, suggesting that these infections may lead to unique pathological features like visceral larva migrans in white-tailed antsangies, different from typical rodent hosts.
Background: Oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OCSCCs) are relatively common in multiple non-human primate species but are poorly documented in Goeldi's monkeys.
Methods: Four Goeldi's monkeys with OCSCC, from three zoological collections, underwent necropsy with cytology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and pan-herpesvirus PCR analysis.
Results: All animals were euthanised and exhibited poor-to-emaciated body condition.
A retrospective study revealed seven cases of coelomic steatitis in adult tentacled snakes (), including two males and five females, between May 2014 and August 2020. Common clinical signs included death after unusual floating, generalized weakness, inappetence, reduced body condition, coelomic distension, and reproductive pathology in females. Hematology of one specimen revealed marked monocytosis and lymphocytosis with mild heterophilia (chronic and active inflammation).
