	"Serum thyroxine concentrations in clinically healthy pet guinea pigs (Cavia porceellus).            (Müller K, Müller E, Klein R, Brunnberg L.)           Veterinary Clinical Pathology (2009) Jun 22 1-4; BRIEF COMMUNICATION Abstract Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) are often presented as patients in veterinary practice. Nevertheless, only limited information is available about endocrine diseases or thyroxine reference values for the species. Objective: The aim of  this study was to determine serum thyroxine concentrations in a well-defined population of clinically healthy pet guinea pigs.         "Successful treatment of Dirofilaria repens infections in dogs with melarsomine           (Immiticide®, Merial) against adults and a combination of moxidectin            2.5% /imidacloprid 10% (Advocate®, Bayer) against microfilaria"           (Pingen CH., Lorentz S, Magnis J., Menn B., Schaper R., Naucke T.)           WAAVP 2009, Calgary, Canada Abstract Dirofilaria repens occurs in Europe predominately in southern and south eastern countries. Transport of dogs from such endemic regions to areas free of D. repens bears the risk of introducing this zoonotic disease to non endemic areas. In this study 507 dogs transported from a Hungarian shelter to a shelter close to Cologne from August 2006-February 2009 were tested for presence of microfilaria (mf). 60 D. repens positive dogs were enrolled in a treatment program consisting of an adulticide treatment with melarsomine (Immiticide®, Merial, 2 injections 24 h apart), followed by a microfilaricidal treatment with monthly applications of moxidectin 2.5%/imidacloprid 10% (Advocate®, Bayer) at the standard dose over a period of three month. 36 dogs completed a surveillance period of 6 month following the treatment program. Macrofilaricidal treatment in dogs was tolerated well with few adverse reactions. Microfilaricidal treatment at monthly intervals did not show adverse reactions. All 36 dogs were screened for the presence of microfilaria, all but one stayed negative. It is known from D. immitis treatment, that melarsomine at the recommended dose will clear about 50-70% of the dogs from macrofilaria and is ineffective against L4 stages and early adult stages. This treatment protocol in conjunction with a follow up treatment of 3 monthly doses of moxidectin/imidacloprid is suitable to eliminate infections with D. repens almost completely and could be an important measure to avoid introduction of this zoonotic disease from endemic to non endemic areas.

	Immunohistochemical Findings in Eyes of Cats Serologically Positive for             Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)             Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series B - Zentralblatt Für Veterinarmedizin Reihe B -            Infectious Diseases and Veterinary Public Health, 1996, Vol 43, Iss 5, pp 305-311           (G. Loesenbeck, W. Drommer, HF. Egberink, HJ. Heider )             Abstract: In this study the eyes of 15 cats in the terminal stage of FIV infection were            examined. The findings were compared to those in cats, which were euthanized because            of other infectious diseases or for non-infectious reasons. Thirteen FIV-infected cats            showed an anterior uveitis by means of light microscopy. No accumulation of retinal lesions            were found in FIV-infected cats compared to the other cats examined. Additionally, there            were no indications of lesions caused by opportunistic infections. In the posterior segments           of the eyes, immunohistochemical examinations proved the plasma proteins C3 and IgG to            be predominantly intravascular. The eyes of 11 serologically FIV-positive cats were available           for immunohistochemical examination. In all 11 cats at least one of the plasma proteins C3            or IgG could be detected in the extravascular tissue of the anterior uvea. The extravascular            presence of plasma proteins within the tissue seemed to be caused by an increased            permeability of the vessels due to inflammation. Furthermore, the similar extravascular            distribution pattern of IgG and complement component C3 in four cases indicated that            immune complexes may play a role in the anterior uveitis of FIV-infected cats.
