Klebsiella pneumoniae Complex-Associated Peritonitis, Lymphadenitis, and Pyelonephritis in Juvenile Raccoons (Procyon lotor) under Rehabilitator Care in New York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, USA.

Klebsiella spp. are gram-negative facultative anaerobic heavily encapsulated bacteria associated with opportunistic and primary infections in a wide range of species. We assessed a series of cases (n=8) of necrosuppurative peritonitis, lymphadenitis, and/or pyelonephritis in wild juvenile raccoons (Procyon lotor) that died under rehabilitator care in New York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, US, between July 2020 and December 2023, plus a retrospective case of a juvenile raccoon necropsied from New York in August 2011.

Histopathologic and molecular characterization of papillomavirus 1 and papillomavirus 2 infection in North American porcupines ().

papillomavirus 1 (EdPV1) and papillomavirus 2 (EdPV2) are associated with cutaneous papillomas in North American porcupines (). This study defined gross, histopathologic, and molecular characteristics of viral papillomas in 10 North American porcupines submitted to the New York State Animal Health Diagnostic Center. Investigation for the presence of EdPV1 and EdPV2 DNA via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed in 9 of the 10 (90.

Surgical correction of third eyelid cartilage eversion in an Anglo-Nubian goat: A case report.

This case of everted third eyelid cartilage in a goat demonstrates that everted cartilage occurs in animals other than domestic dogs and cats. Everted cartilage in the goat can be treated successfully with surgical excision of the abnormally bent cartilage.

A REVIEW OF MORTALITY IN TENTACLED SNAKES () IN A MULTI-INSTITUTION ZOOLOGICAL COLLECTION BETWEEN 1966 AND 2017.

The tentacled snake () is a viviparous aquatic snake that is a desirable species to exhibit in zoological collections because of its unique appearance and feeding strategies. Despite its presence in zoo collections over the past 50 yr, a comprehensive review of mortality and morbidity in the species has not been published. This study retrospectively reviewed 125 pathology reports from tentacled snakes in a multi-institution zoological collection in New York (The Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx and Central Park zoos) between 1966 and 2017.

The Intercalated Segment: Does the Triquetrum Move in Synchrony With the Lunate?

Purpose: To quantify the relative motion between the lunate and triquetrum during functional wrist movements and to examine the impact of wrist laxity on triquetral motion.

Methods: A digital database of wrist bone anatomy and carpal kinematics for 10 healthy volunteers in 10 different positions was used to study triquetral kinematics. The orientation of radiotriquetral (RT) and radiolunate rotation axes was compared during a variety of functional wrist movements, including radioulnar deviation (RUD) and flexion-extension (FE), and during a hammering task.

A novel herpesvirus in a white stork associated with splenic and hepatic necrosis.

We identified a novel herpesvirus in a captive juvenile white stork () that experienced progressive weight loss followed by death. Histologic findings included severe splenic and hepatic necrosis, and intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes and unidentified splenic cells. The virus was amplified, sequenced, and subsequently accessioned as Ciconiid alphaherpesvirus 1.

Differences in the Rotation Axes of the Scapholunate Joint During Flexion-Extension and Radial-Ulnar Deviation Motions.

Purpose: To determine the location of the rotation axis between the scaphoid and the lunate (SL-axis) during wrist flexion-extension (FE) and radial-ulnar deviation (RUD).

Methods: An established and publicly available digital database of wrist bone anatomy and carpal kinematics of 30 healthy volunteers (15 males and 15 females) in up to 8 different positions was used to study the SL-axis. Using the combinations of positions from wrist FE and RUD, the helical axis of motion of the scaphoid relative to the lunate was calculated for each trial in an anatomical coordinate system embedded in the lunate.
