“…When the presence of T gondii in respiratory illness was investigated (Villa and others 2001), no differences were found between unhealthy and healthy animals. In the present study, there were also no differences between healthy and sick females (Table 1), although abortion in rabbits associated with T gondii has been described (Rosell 2000).…”

“…Villa and others (2001) investigated the presence of Mycoplasma species, chlamydias, Toxoplasma gondii, rabbit haemorrhagic disease ( RHD ) and myxomatosis in 30‐ to 45‐day‐old animals with respiratory problems during the fattening process, and obtained a significantly higher prevalence of Mycoplasma species, RHD and myxomatosis among the animals undergoing a clinical process. Various strains of mycoplasma were also isolated from the lungs of sick animals and, to the authors' knowledge, this was the first description of this pathogen in farm rabbits.…”

“…In this study, a polyclonal antibody was used against M pulmonis, as it was in the investigation of respiratory problems by Villa and others (2001). However, in order to determine accurately the species involved, the sequencing of the ribosomal RNA in the isolated strains is still being carried out.…”

Nicht immer sind es die klassischen Infektionserreger, die uns in der Praxis erwarten. Um unspezifische und respiratorische Symptome sicher diagnostizieren zu können, ist eine gezielte Diagnostik hilfreich. Frischen Sie Ihr Wissen auf.Infektionskrankheiten beim Kaninchen spielen eine große Rolle im Leben eines jeden Tierarztes. Neben den klassischen Infektionserregern kann sich ein Kaninchen aber auch mit anderen Erregern infizieren und den Tierarzt somit vor ein Rätsel stellen. Der folgende nach Symptomkomplexen und Erregerarten geordnete Überblick informiert über typische und untypische Infektionserreger beim Kaninchen, die vorwiegend systemische und/oder respiratorische Symptome verursachen. Überblick über diagnostische SchritteDer erste Schritt zu einer sicheren Diagnose ist eine ausführliche Anamnese. Als wichtige Fragen gelten Haltung (Einzel-oder Gruppenhaltung, Neuzugänge), Alter, Impfstatus und besondere Ereignisse. Eine umfassende klinische Untersuchung ist genauso essenziell wie die labordiagnostische Absicherung. Die Wahl von Probenmaterial, Gewinnung und Nachweisverfahren ist abhängig von der vermuteten Infektion. Man unterscheidet direkte und indirekte Erregernachweisverfahren. Direkter ErregernachweisDer direkte Erregernachweis erfolgt je nach Erreger (Bakterien, Viren, Protozoen, Pilze) und zur Verfügung stehendem Material (Blut, Kot, Urin, Spülflüssigkeit, Abstrich etc.) über kulturelle Anzüchtung, immunologisch über Enzymimmunoassays oder über die Polymerasekettenre-

“…To begin, three bacterial pathogens, Mycoplasma, P. multocida, and S. aureus, were discovered to be implicated in rabbit respiratory illness based on bacteriological and molecular characterisation (snuffles). Mycoplasma pulmonis was shown to have a greater prevalence (43 percent) when co-infected with other pathogens such as Bordetella bronchiseptica, P. multocidia, and Staphylococcus, according to Villa et al (2001). In rabbits with respiratory illness, these infections frequently present alone or in combination.…”

Respiratory disease, or snuffling, is a major problem associated with serious economic losses in the rabbit industry. The dis ease in rabbits is a polybacterial infection in nature, resulting from co-infection with more than one bacterial pathogen. To determine the involved bacterial pathogens in respiratory infections in terms of prevalence and pathogenicity, different specimens from rabbits with typical respiratory disorders are subjected to bacteriological examination followed by molecular verification through RT-PCR or PCR then sequencing of the PCR-product. The results identified Mycoplasma sp. as a major partner in mixed infection with virulent strains of P. multocida or S. aureus, suggesting that, initial infection with Mycoplasma sp. creates vulnerability to subsequent infection with P. multocida or S. aureus. Gross and microscopic analysis were also applied to demonstrate lesions accompanied by the detected bacterial pathogens. This study described the prevalence and characteristics of respiratory illness in rabbits domesticated in Al-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt and highlighted for the first time the role of Mycoplasma sp. in increasing the severity of rabbit-respiratory infections.
