Pythiosis in Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report the first case of pythiosis from Africa in an 8-month-old dog with a chronic and ulcerative cutaneous lesion. The etiologic agent belonged to the genus Pythium. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate in a sister group to the other P. insidiosum strains. However, the isolate may belong to a new Pythium species.

Vascular pythiosis caused by Pythium aphanidermatum: the first case report in Asia

European Journal of Medical Research, 2021
Background Pythium, soil-borne plant pathogens, are in the class Oomycetes. They are not true fungi, but are related to diatom and algae. There are two human pathogens including P. insidiosum and P. aphanidermatum.

Effect of dilution of canine blood samples on the specificity of saline agglutination tests for immune‐mediated hemolysis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 2374-2383, November/December 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Saline agglutination tests (SATs) are widely recommended for diagnosis of immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia in dogs, but there are frequent false‐positive results. Objectives Specificity of SATs will improve at higher saline‐to‐blood ratios. Animals One hundred fifty dogs treated at a veterinary referral hospital with hematocrits ≤30%
