Bovine Lungworm: Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Haramaya Town, Ethiopia. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResBackground Lungworm infection, caused by a nematode parasite, leads to bronchitis or pneumonia, high‐mortality rates in cattle, and significant economic losses. Objectives This study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of bovine lungworm and identify potential risk factors in Haramaya town, Ethiopia. Methods A cross‐sectional study design was employed

Prevalence and Species Identification of Lungworms in Sheep and Cattle: A Postmortem Study in North Shewa, Central Highlands of Ethiopia. [PDF]
Vet Med IntLungworms are among the major nematode parasites causing significant impacts on livestock production, mortality and morbidity in young animals, and poor productivity in adult animals. Despite the widespread distribution of lungworms, there is little information in North Shewa in the central highlands of Ethiopia.

Allotype-Dependent Responses to the Vaccine Candidate Thrombospondin-Like Protein of Dictyocaulus viviparus in Calves. [PDF]
Parasite ImmunolABSTRACT The nematode Dictyocaulus viviparus causes parasitic bronchitis in cattle. There is a vaccine based on irradiated larvae against this parasite. However, no memory response is induced, and donor calves are needed for culturing the larvae. Therefore, a well‐defined subunit vaccine would be welcomed.

An outbreak of small ruminant lentivirus in a Swedish dairy goat herd
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Small ruminant lentivirus causes severe economic losses, and negatively affects animal welfare in goat herds across the world. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and pathological consequences of the disease in an affected goat herd, as well as to sequence the virus in infected animals. Seventy‐six percent of the sampled animals

Epistaxis associated with Angiostrongylus vasorum infection in a dog
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract A 9‐month‐old, female, entire border collie was presented as an emergency for unilateral epistaxis, rapidly evolving to bilateral, and lethargy of sudden onset. A moderate broncho‐interstitial pattern was present on thoracic radiographs, particularly in the caudo‐dorsal lung lobes.
