Hyperkalaemia secondary to suspected transient hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism in a dog (in a dog)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract A 12‐year‐7‐month‐old, female, entire beagle dog was presented to a referral hospital in England for a 10‐day history of tachypnoea and lethargy. Angiostrongylus vasorum ELISA test was positive, and the patient was started on fenbendazole. One week later, it became lethargic, anorexic, polyuric and polydipsic, and it was diagnosed with an open

Interface Molecules of Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Their Role in Parasite Survival and Modulation of Host Defenses

International Journal of Inflammation, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a nematode parasite that causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. Disease presents following the ingestion of third‐stage larvae residing in the intermediate mollusk host and disease manifests as an acute inflammation of the meninges characterized by eosinophil infiltrates which release a battery of ...

Multicenter, Retrospective Determination of the Clinical Utility of Screening Tests in Dogs With Immune‐Mediated Hemolytic Anemia in the United Kingdom and Ireland

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Potential triggers of immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) are often identified, but their frequency and the benefit of extensive screening for these to individual dogs is uncertain. Objective To assess the frequency of non‐associative IMHA in dogs undergoing screening in Britain and Ireland and identify where specific tests ...

Molecular cloning, expression and immunohistochemical localization of Ac-ALMP, an astacin-like metalloprotease from Angiostrongylus cantonensis [PDF]

, 2016
广州管圆线虫病是一种人畜共患的寄生虫病。它是因人进食含有广州管圆线虫感染期幼虫的食物或水源而引起的。随着人们饮食习惯的改变和水陆交通的日趋发达，该病的流行呈逐年上升的趋势，目前尚无理想的特效药对该病进行防治。虾红素金属蛋白酶是金属蛋白酶家族的一员，研究发现，其在寄生虫寄生生活中发挥一系列不同的生物学功能。但是目前国际上，关于广州管圆线虫虾红素金属蛋白酶的报道几乎没有。 本研究为探索广州管圆线虫虾红素金属蛋白酶在虫体中的功能，对其基因进行调取，我们通过虾红素金属蛋白酶EST序列设计引物进行RACE克隆 ...
