Do Babesia microti Hosts Share a Blood Group System Gene Ortholog, Which Could Generate an Erythrocyte Antigen That Is Essential for Parasite Invasion?

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
The United States of America (US) has the highest annual number of human babesiosis cases caused by Babesia microti (Bm). Babesia, like malaria-causing Plasmodium, are protozoan parasites that live within red blood cells (RBCs).

A study of the forces generated during equine cheek tooth extraction

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Significant force is often applied when elevating equine teeth from the alveolus during extraction. No previous studies have investigated these forces. Objectives To develop a method to allow measurement of elevation forces (EF) applied during extraction, and to record forces during extraction of cheek teeth in both cadaver ...

Short‐term clinical responses in horses and ponies treated with canagliflozin: A clinical field study

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Treatment with the sodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor canagliflozin in insulin dysregulated (ID) horses has shown promising results in randomised clinical trials. Larger field studies are needed to further evaluate treatment responses and potential adverse effects under real‐world conditions.

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...

Venous blood lactate concentration as a predictor of intestinal viability in horses with acquired indirect inguinal hernia

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acquired indirect inguinal hernia represents a life‐threatening emergency. Therapeutic decision‐making largely depends on intestinal viability, for which specific predictive parameters (such as venous lactate) have not been evaluated.

Protective effects of adiponectin receptor agonists against equine lamellar endoplasmic reticulum stress

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lamellar endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs in hyperinsulinemia‐associated and sepsis‐related laminitis. Adiponectin is associated with reduced laminitis risk and inhibits ER stress in other species. Objectives To induce ER stress in ex vivo equine lamellar cells using pharmacological agents.
