  • Using PCR techniques to assess Chlamydia trachomatis genome

    Creator:
    Moo-Fuentes, Jordi C.
    Abstract:
    Chlamydia possesses an immense importance within both human and animal medicine when looking at pathogens. Chlamydia trachomatis infections have been shown to affect both the eye and genital tracts in millions of humans and animals every year [13]. As C. trachomatis strains are highly conserved in patients, it has made...

  • Prevalence of Canine Brucellosis in the United States

    Creator:
    Douglas, Lisa
    Abstract:
    Brucella canis is a zoonotic proteobacterium causing brucellosis in dogs and other wild canidae. It is primarily spread to the fetus through the placenta, to other dogs through fetal fluids and vaginal discharge after abortion, and to mating partners through vaginal and seminal fluids. Transmission to other dogs can also...

  • Impact of Time and Temperature on Ex Vivo and Postmortem Diagnostic Assays

    Creator:
    Wachtel, Kaitlyn E.
    Abstract:
    Postmortem diagnostics play an important role in the ability to understand the cause of death of an animal. However, removal from oxygen supply, either by surgical excision or at death, leads to cell and tissue decomposition. Knowledge about factors impacting reliability of test results is extremely important for accurate diagnostics....

  • The Genetic Diversity of Salukis in the United States

    Creator:
    Van Why, Savannah L.
    Abstract:
    Many domesticated animals, especially dogs, are selectively bred within a small population to select for and “fix” certain traits. This leads to decreasing genetic diversity and the potential for inherited health issues over time. The Saluki is a relatively rare breed of dog in the U.S. The Society for the...

  • Detection of koi herpes virus in post-mortem koi

    Creator:
    Lopez, Edwin
    Abstract:
    Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also known as koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a pathogenic and highly contagious virus that affects the Cyprinus genus. The mortality rate of the KHV infection is around 80-100%. KHV can become latent in the recovered koi and reactivate under stressful conditions. KHV can reactivate under various...

  • The toxicogenetic effects of a chitosan based hemostatic control patch in rat models

    Creator:
    Colburn, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    Chitosan based hemorrhage control dressings provide effective external hemorrhage control while having few side effects. Known residual contaminants present in chitosan formulations include endotoxins and proteins known to stimulate gene expression in the liver. This study investigated gene expression in the liver using rat bio-compatibility models to gain knowledge regarding...

  • Guinea pig model of mild hyperandrogenemia – is it a suitable model for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? A pilot study

    Creator:
    Barboza Sagrero, Juriana E.
    Abstract:
    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an idiopathic disorder prevalent in ~5-10% of reproductive-aged women. In PCOS women who become pregnant, many experience complications including increased susceptibility of having a miscarriage, high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes, among others. Additionally, exposure to PCOS may have transgenerational impacts: offspring may be at...

  • Comparison of Three Different Analyzers to Measure Canine Serum Progesterone

    Creator:
    Hisanaga, Trevor H.
    Abstract:
    The canine estrous cycle is unique compared to other domestic animal species. During estrus, serum progesterone concentrations ([P4]) rise two days prior to ovulation. In fact, the luteinization of pre-ovulatory follicles resulting in this initial increase in [P4] (1.5-2.5 ng/ml) cannot be temporally dissociated from the onset of the surge...

  • Intraspecific and Interspecific attachment between cohabitant dogs and their owners

    Creator:
    Sipple, Nicole M.
    Abstract:
    Domesticated dogs can form attachment bonds with their owners and use them as a secure base to receive comfort during distress and confidence to explore novel environments. Owners often adopt multiple dog in hopes they will have ameliorative effects during periods of absence from their owner. The purpose of this...

  • Examining the Effects on Salivary Cortisol Levels of Shelter Volunteers Interacting with Familiar Dogs

    Creator:
    Duvall, Holly K.
    Abstract:
    Heightened cortisol levels are a typical physiological response to stress. The many responsibilities of animal shelter workers can lead to increased stress levels and negative effects on their job satisfaction and overall wellness. As a result, workers are subject to burnout and compassion fatigue. While working in shelter environments may...
