An international seroprevalence survey of the IgE sensitisation to the Dermatophagoides farinae house dust mite and two of its major allergens (Der f 2, Zen 1) in atopic dogs. [PDF]
Background – Dogs with atopic dermatitis are often immunoglobulin (Ig)E‐sensitised to Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) house dust mites, yet limited data exist on the sensitisation rates to the individual Df allergens, Der f 2 and Zen 1. Objectives – To determine the IgE sensitisation rates to Df, Der f 2 and Zen 1 in atopic dogs from geographically ...

A prospective study evaluating the correlation between local weather conditions, pollen counts and pruritus of dogs with atopic dermatitis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a hereditary, generally pruritic and predominantly T‐cell‐driven inflammatory skin disease, involving an interplay between skin barrier abnormalities, allergen sensitisation and microbial dysbiosis.

Detection and Inhibition of IgE for cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants evident in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of allergen-specific IgE in the sera of dogs and cats. [PDF]
Background It has been demonstrated recently that immunoglobulin (Ig)E specific for cross‐reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD) is present in the serum of allergen‐sensitized dogs and cats, and that these CCD‐specific antibodies might confound serological testing. Hypothesis/Objective The objective was to document the prevalence of CCD detectable in

Toumeyella parvicornis versus endotherapic abamectin: three techniques, 1 year after
Comparing three different abamectin endotherapic techniques. Results showed similar long‐term effects in reducing adult females of Toumeyella parvicornis affecting Pinus pinea. Only one technique showed differences with the untreated control and abamectin traces inside the plants 14 months after the insecticide injection. Abstract Background Toumeyella

Background – The caninised monoclonal antibody lokivetmab (LKV), directed at interleukin (IL)‐31, is very effective at controlling pruritus in most dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD). However, evidence exists that IL‐31 is not required for the induction of acute allergic skin inflammation, which might explain why this treatment is less efficacious in ...

The authors provide a comprehensive assessment of the response of key members of the soil food web to habitat fragmentation and tree die‐off (landscape level plant–soil interactions), illustrating the major role of soil carbon, habitat connectivity, and tree die‐off in driving soil biodiversity and trophic structure.

Mussel parasite richness and risk of extinction
Abstract Parasite conservation is important for the maintenance of ecosystem diversity and function. Conserving parasites relies first on understanding parasite biodiversity and second on estimating the extinction risk to that biodiversity. Although steps have been taken independently in both these areas, previous studies have overwhelmingly focused on

Evaluation of a clinical scoring system for canine demodicosis
Background – Canine demodicosis is a common disease in small animal practice. Although a number of studies evaluating treatment efficacy for canine demodicosis have used clinical scoring systems, none have been validated. Objectives – This study evaluated the validity, reliability, reproducibility and sensitivity to change of a clinical scoring system ...
