An analysis of time trends for canine heartworm disease in Grenada and its associated risk factors based on veterinary clinical pathology laboratory data base records between 2003 and 2015.

Canine heartworm (CHW) disease is a common parasitic infection in dogs in the Caribbean islands. However, studies on temporal trends and risk factors are limited for this region. This study represents the time trends in laboratory prevalence and risk factors of canine heartworm infections between 2003 and 2015.

Antimicrobial resistance patterns of commensal isolated from feces of non-diarrheic dogs in Grenada, West Indies.

Background And Aim: There is currently no published information on the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of commensal in dogs of Grenada origin. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance helps in the empirical selection of antibiotics. This study determined the occurrence of including the O157:H7 serotype in feces of non-diarrheic dogs of Grenada origin and the antibiotic resistance pattern of the isolates.

Genome Sequence of Tilapia Lake Virus Associated with Syncytial Hepatitis of Tilapia in an Ecuadorian Aquaculture Facility.

Here, we report the complete coding sequences of tilapia lake virus (TiLV) associated with syncytial hepatitis of tilapia (SHT). The TiLV strain was sequenced from the liver RNA extract of a moribund Nile tilapia () fingerling from an Ecuadorian aquaculture facility in 2012.
