BLASTOMYCOSIS IN NONDOMESTIC FELIDS

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2003
Blastomycosis was diagnosed in six nondomestic felids from eastern Tennessee, including two Asian lions (Panthera leo persicus), one African lion (Panthera leo), one Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris), one cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), and one snow leopard (Panthera uncia). Clinical signs included lethargy, anorexia, weight loss, dyspnea, sneezing. ataxia,

Blood arsenic concentrations in felids

Veterinary Record, 2019
The presence of measurable quantities of arsenic in the blood of most terrestrial species signifies an exposure that often warrants further investigation regarding source and potential veterinary intervention and treatment. However, some species, such as felids, have a genetic predisposition to retain arsenic in their blood; circulating concentrations ...

Papillomaviruses in felids

The Veterinary Journal, 2014
The ability of papillomaviruses (PVs) to cause disease in human beings and most domestic animals has long been recognised. However, disease due to PVs in cats was not reported until 1990. Since this first description of feline cutaneous viral plaques, additional feline diseases have been causally linked to PVs, and PV-induced disease has been reported ...

Renal Lesions of Nondomestic Felids

Veterinary Pathology, 2010
To comprehensively evaluate the occurrence of renal lesions in a variety of nondomestic felids, necropsy cases from 1978 to 2008 were reviewed from a municipal zoo and a large cat sanctuary for those in which the kidneys were examined histologically. Seventy exotic felids were identified (25 tigers, 18 lions, 6 cougars, 5 leopards, 3 snow leopards, 3 ...

Reproductive biology and biotechnologies in wild felids

Theriogenology, 2020
Conservation strategies in natural habitats as well as in breeding centers are necessary for maintaining and reinforcing viable populations of wild felids. Among the fundamental knowledge that is required for conservation breeding, a solid understanding of reproductive biology is critical for improving natural breeding and enhance genetic diversity ...

Zoonoses of Procyonids and Nondomestic Felids

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2011
There are several important zoonotic diseases which can be acquired from procyonids, and nondomestic felids. Baylisascaris procyonis, the raccoon roundworm, is a common parasite of raccoons and can cause visceral, ocular, or neural larval migrans in people. Neural larval migrans can cause severe signs in individuals.

DEGENERATIVE SPINAL DISEASE IN LARGE FELIDS

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2000
Degenerative spinal disorders, including intervertebral disc disease and spondylosis, seldom occur in domestic cats. In contrast, a retrospective study of 13 lions (Panthera leo), 16 tigers (Panthera tigris), 4 leopards (Panthera pardis), 1 snow leopard (Panthera uncia), and 3 jaguars (Panthera onca) from the Knoxville Zoo that died or were ...

Echinostomes in Felid Coprolites from Brazil

Journal of Parasitology, 2016
The first record of Echinostoma (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) in coprolites was from a mummified human body in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The finding raised questions on this parasite's incidence in prehistoric populations and the natural hosts of each species in remote times. Echinostomes occur worldwide and, despite the wide range of hosts, there is

Hemoplasmas in Wild Canids and Felids in Brazil

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2011
Hemotropic mycoplasmas, epicellular erythrocytic bacterial parasites lacking a cell wall, are the causative agents of infectious anemia in numerous mammalian species. The presence of hemotropic mycoplasmas in blood samples of neotropical and exotic wild canids and felids from Brazilian zoos were recorded using molecular techniques.
