Feline progressive histiocytosis (FPH) is an uncommon and infrequently reported cutaneous histiocytic proliferative disorder, whose clinical presentation is solitary or multiple cutaneous nodules and papules, with late-course internal metastasis. We describe herein the clinical, epidemiologic, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of this entity, and document the outcome of FPH based on a retrospective study of 26 cases. Female and male cats were affected equally.

An 8-y-old, intact female degu ( Octodon degus) was presented with a slow-growing mass on the tail tip. The mass was completely removed by partial caudectomy.

- Trypanosoma equiperdum causes dourine in horses, potentially affecting their central nervous system and making it difficult to treat due to the parasite's protection in that area.* -
- The OIE classifies dourine as non-treatable, leading to policies that involve euthanizing affected animals to achieve a disease-free status, which sparks controversy due to the lack of effective treatment alternatives.* -
- The study developed an experimental model to assess drug efficacy against dourine by infecting horses with the parasite and tracking its presence in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), confirming the model's effectiveness in inducing a distinct infection in the horses used in the trials.*
