Presence and significance of Helicobacter spp. in the gastric mucosa of Portuguese dogs [PDF]
Background: Non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacters (NHPH) are also able to cause disease in humans. Dogs are a natural reservoir for many of these species. Close and intense human contact with animals has been identified as a risk factor and therefore, an

Methodological Considerations in Canine Olfactory Detection Research
Dogs are increasingly used in a wide range of detection tasks including explosives, narcotics, medical, and wildlife detection. Research on detection dog performance is important to understand olfactory capabilities, behavioral characteristics, improve ...

Integrating multi‐method surveys and recovery trajectories into occupancy models
Conservation and management of animal populations requires knowledge of their occurrence and drivers that influence their distribution. Noninvasive survey methods and occupancy models to account for imperfect detection have become the standard tools for ...

Ability of dogs to detect cows in estrus from sniffing saliva samples [PDF]
Efficient estrus detection in high-producing dairy cows is a permanent challenge for successful reproductive performance. In former studies, dogs have been trained to identify estrus-specific odor in vaginal fluid, milk, urine, and blood samples under ...

What's in a Name? Classification of Diabetes Mellitus in Veterinary Medicine and Why It Matters [PDF]
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a syndrome caused by various etiologies. The clinical manifestations of DM are not indicative of the cause of the disease, but might be indicative of the stage and severity of the disease process.

The use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay systems for the serology and antigen detection in parvovirus, coronavirus and rotavirus infections in dogs in The Netherlands. [PDF]
Complex trapping blocking (CTB) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and indirect ELISAs for the detection of antibodies to canine parvovirus (CPV), canine coronavirus (CCV) and rotavirus in sera of dogs were established.

Search strategies for conservation detection dogs [PDF]
Monitoring rare or cryptic species can be challenging, especially with limited time and resources. Dogs are often used for this purpose, but methods are highly variable. There is a need to optimise search methods for dog teams so that time and resources are used as efficiently as possible. Some degree of standardisation is also desirable so that search

Detection of Leishmania infantum by PCR, serology and cellular immune response in a cohort study of Brazilian dogs [PDF]
The sensitivity and specificity of PCR, serology (ELISA) and lymphoproliferative response to Leishmania antigen for the detection of Leishmania infantum infection were evaluated in a cohort of 126 dogs exposed to natural infection in Brazil.
