The tick-borne obligatory intracellular bacterium infects humans as well as domesticated and wild animals, causing a febrile disease collectively called granulocytic anaplasmosis. The epidemiology and the host species specificity and zoonotic potential of strains remain unclear. In this study, (encoding ankyrin A) and gene sequences of were determined in clinical specimens from horses in Ohio and compared with those found in strains from various hosts and geographic regions. With increasing numbers of seropositive horses, the study points out the unrecognized prevalence and uncharacterized strains of infection in horses and the importance of molecular testing for the prevention of equine and human granulocytic anaplasmosis.

Infection in Rabbits (): Data from an International Survey of Exotic and Small Animal Veterinarians.
Animals (Basel)
November 2024
Division of Comparative Pathology, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL 33136, USA.
In 2022-2023, the first survey of clinicians regarding infection of rabbits was undertaken. The purpose was to assess the current worldwide knowledge of clinicians regarding influence of breed and age, clinical presentations, use of various diagnostic tools, and treatment regimens and to explore how responses may differ by geographic location. Identifying mostly as exotic animal clinicians, 339 respondents participated, with nearly half from the United States and the remainder from 35 other countries.

College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, United States of America.
Background: This study aimed to describe and compare therapeutic approaches for horses with acute diarrhea in different geographic regions worldwide.
Methods: Clinical information was retrospectively collected from diarrheic horses presented to participating institutions between 2016 and 2020, including fluid therapy on admission, antimicrobial drugs, probiotics, anti-endotoxic medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, gastroprotectants, digital cryotherapy, and toxin-binding agents. Seasonal and geographic differences were investigated.

Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA.
Objective: To compare glucose measurements from capillary and venous blood samples using a point-of-care (POC) glucometer with a standard laboratory (colorimetric, glucose oxidase) assay (LABGLU) in a population of hospitalized, neonatal foals.
Design: Multicenter, prospective, experimental study, conducted between March 2019 and June 2020.
Setting: Four university teaching hospitals and 1 private referral hospital.
A Randomized Feasibility Study of Rehabilitation Targeting Upper Extremity Function and Participation Using Hippotherapy and the Equine Environment for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Article Synopsis
- * The 6-month study in Ohio involved 26 participants, aged 6-17, where 14 were randomized into treatment and control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of hippotherapy on upper extremity function and overall participation.
- * Results indicated a good retention rate (80% for control and 83% for treatment), with no reported adverse events; however, variability in assessment measure completion suggests improvements may be needed prior to larger clinical trials.
