“…Chama a atenção um caso de hidatidose diagnosticado em um equino proveniente do município de Piratini. Esta doença é rara em equinos e não havia sido diagnosticada previamente no Brasil, ocorrendo em consequência de uma cepa equino-específica de Echinococcus granulosus (Ruas et al 1997), reclassificada, posteriormente, como Echinococcus equinus (Thompson &McManus, 2002).…”

A retrospective study of the diagnoses of injuries and deaths in equine in Southern Brazil was conducted between 1978 and 2012. All necropsy protocols and other materials of the Regional Diagnostic Laboratory of the Veterinary School of the Federal University of Pelotas were reviewed. The collected data consisted of 2,026 equine materials, including 514 necropsy protocols of and 1,512 other biologic materials, including the protocols of biopsies, organs, swabs, feces, blood, and skin scrapings. From the resulting 2,026 diagnoses, 467 (23.05%) corresponded to neoplasms and tumor like lesions; 168 (8.29%) to parasitic diseases; 135 (6.66%) to bacterial diseases; 31 (1.53%) to viral diseases; 86 (4.24%) to diseases caused by fungi and oomycetes; 50 (2.47%) to intoxication and poisoning by mycotoxins; 9 (0.44%) to metabolic diseases; 60 (2.96%) to other diseases; and 75 (3.70%) to non-transmittable diseases of the digestive tract. Three hundred twenty cases (15.79%) were classified as diseases of unknown etiology. Other diagnoses accounted for 489 of the total 2,026 cases (24.14%). In 44 (8.56%) of the 514 necropsies and 91 (9.47%) of the 961 biopsies of organs mailed into the laboratory, the diagnoses were inconclusive, totaling 135 (9.15%) of the 1,475 in the category. This study demonstrates the importance of skin lesions in horses, as 31.88% (642) of the biopsies received were lesions on the skin of the animals. The most significant tumors observed were equine sarcoid, at 33.18%, and squamous cell carcinoma, at 7.94%. The most common observed causes of death were leucoenceflomalacia (7.59%), rabies (3.70%) thromboembolism by Strongylus vulgaris (2.33%) and monocytic ehrlichiosis (1.75%).

“…The prognosis in dogs with ischemic stroke has been described as fair to good depending on the presence or absence of an underlying condition (Garosi et al, 2005;Garosi and McConnell, 2005;Wessmann et al, 2009). In contrast, forebrain pathologies like brain tumors or abscesses, epilepsy, neuroborreliosis and metabolic encephalopathy, also described in equine medicine, may have a more reserved prognosis (Granstrom et al, 1992;Fenger et al, 1997;Ruas et al, 1997;Cornelis et al, 2001;Müller et al, 2011;Spoormakers et al, 2003;Audigie et al, 2004;Imai et al, 2011;Lacombe et al, 2011;Johnstone et al, 2016;Broux et al, 2019). In the horse of the present case however, the outcome was excellent.…”

In this case report, an eight-year-old Warmblood gelding is described with a presumptive vascular event resulting in severe head turn and circling to the right. The horse recovered completely from the clinical signs. Pathologies that cause asymmetrical forebrain signs in horses could be excluded. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a flow difference in the venous sinuses that was presumably caused by cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. The horse was treated with prednisolone, antibiotics, vitamin E and B1 and acetylsalicylic acid. He was represented one month after the initial clinical signs and was clinically and neurologically normal. The horse subsequently returned to his previous level of jumping.

“…Cerebral hydatid disease is very rare in humans, representing less than 1% of all cerebral space-occupying lesions, even in countries where the disease is endemic (Gana et al, 2008; Nemati et al, 2010). It has also been reported rarely in animal species (Singh et al, 1988; Ruas et al, 1997).…”

A rare case of cerebral hydatidosis caused by a G1 genotype of Echinococcus granulosus in a cow from Iran

Hydatidosis is a medically and veterinary important parasitic disease that is endemic in many parts of the world. Unilocular hydatid cysts may develop in almost any part of the body. Up to 70% of hydatid cysts are located in the liver, followed by 25% in the lungs. Cerebral hydatidosis is an uncommon manifestation of the disease, occurring in less than 1/1000 infected hosts, yet diagnosis does pose a problem. We have reported an exceptionally rare case of cerebral hydatidosis in cattle. This is the first report to describe the characteristic pathological features of the cerebral hydatidosis in cattle caused by the G1 genotype of Echinococcus granulosus. Genotypic analysis was performed on a hydatid cyst from a cow originating from southern Iran, based on the sequence analysis of the cox1 mitochondrial gene.
