“…Additionally, E. coli, Mannheimia haemolytica and Salmonella Spp. ; were accounted for 41% of mortality cases in the examined wild captive animals in Nigerian zoological gardens (Akanbi et al, 2021). Many diseases cases of lions and tigers had been found to be infected with multiple kinds of bacterial species comprising E. coli and Klebsiella (Singh et al, 2022).…”

“…The variation could be attributed to the small size of samples in the circus. Also, Akanbi et al (2021) reported that E. coli was responsible for the death of some ungulates rather than felids in 3 different zoological gardens.…”

“…Big carnivores are very important to the integrity and stability of most ecosystems (Murray et al, 1999). Meanwhile, exposure to infectious diseases might negatively impact their populations especially wild felids (Akanbi et al, 2021). Moreover, several bacterial infections were documented in large felids, the causative bacteria were isolated mainly from the mouth, nostril, or rectum of both diseased and healthy wild or domestic animals and under certain conditions, such as stress could recur, develop into pathogenic form causing the disease in host animals (Sabapara et al, 2010).…”

Stimulating immunoglobulin response by intramuscular delivery of exopolysaccharides-adjuvanted mannheimiosis vaccine in goats

et al. 2022

Background and Aim: Pneumonic mannheimiosis (PM) is a common respiratory bacterial disease among small ruminants. Despite numerous management methods, vaccination remains a suitable strategy to combat or reduce PM in goats and sheep. Thus, a study was conducted in Malaysia to evaluate the immunogenicity of exopolysaccharide-adjuvanted Mannheimia haemolytica A2 vaccine (EPS-MHA2) under laboratory and field conditions for its potential use as an efficient vaccine against PM. Materials and Methods: This study induced immunoglobulin (Ig) responses following intramuscular (IM) delivery of the EPS-MHA2 vaccine on 12 goats for about 7 months. Goats were divided into three groups, with three goats per group, and they were vaccinated intramuscularly as follows: Group 1 was vaccinated with an adjuvanted vaccine prepared from formalin-killed M. haemolytica serotypes A2 and EPS excipient; Group 2 was vaccinated with formalin-killed M. haemolytica seed only, whereas Group 3 was injected with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as the negative control. Measures of specific immunity included serum IgM, IgG, and IgA as well as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid secretory IgA and the size and number of the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT). Results: From the 1st day of vaccination, Groups 1 and 2 showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in serum IgM, IgG, and IgA levels. However, the antibodies started to decline 5-week post-vaccination, indicating that the booster dose was necessary. On the second exposure to the same vaccine (booster), the level of antibodies showed a significant increase (p < 0.05), particularly IgG. All groups were challenged intratracheally by virulent MHA2 2 weeks after the decline of second antibodies on the administration of booster. All goats were euthanatized and necropsied 4-week post-challenge. The number and size of the BALT in Group 1 goats significantly increased compared with those in Group 2 and the unvaccinated control. Bacteriological parameters were evaluated, in which MHA2 was reisolated successfully from lung samples in Group 3. The IgA level produced by the group vaccinated with EPS-MHA2 was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than that the MHA2 vaccine and PBS groups. All data obtained were analyzed statistically using a one-way analysis of variance. The results indicate that IM injection of EPS-MHA2 vaccine significantly enhanced the immune response against MHA2. Conclusion: Therefore, the addition of EPS to MHA2 (EPS-MHA2 vaccine) can effectively protect goats from lethal mannheimiosis infection. Factors such as the ideal concentration of EPS should be further studied to verify its application potential as a vaccine adjuvant, and the extraction of EPS from different microalgae species should be further investigated. This study showed a novel and exciting set of data and a vaccination system, in which the suppressive effects of mannheimiosis may be further investigated.

“…Os médicos veterinários, a partir destas informações, são capazes de adotar medidas de prevenção para as populações de animais em cativeiro, diminuindo assim a necessidade de intervenção para tratamento de um animal individual e também minimizando a transmissão de doenças infectocontagiosas e/ou parasitárias (DEEM, 2007). Logo, faz-se necessário que clínicos, patologistas, biólogos e profissionais de saúde pública tenham o conhecimento das afecções mais comuns que acometem cada espécie animal mantida em cativeiro (AKANBI et al, 2021).…”

Agradeço primeiramente a Deus, que até aqui me sustentou e abriu portas que eu nunca imaginei que fosse possível alcançar. Agradeço a minha família que nunca mediu esforços para que eu conseguisse realizar meus sonhos. Vocês sempre foram meu porto seguro e minha motivação para ir além. Obrigada por terem sido meu alicerce mesmo com a distância de quase um estado, por sempre me ouvirem e mostrarem que era possível. Obrigada Milka, Madalena, Céu e Pipoca por todas as lambidas e "pãezinhos" que me ofereceram e que serviam como acalento para o coração. Se um dia achei que salvei a vida de vocês pela adoção, estava muito enganada! Vocês que me salvam todos os dias com esse amor incondicional e sem esperar nada em troca. Agradeço aos meus amigos, antigos e novos, que se mantiveram ao meu lado durante essa jornada e fizeram com que o fardo fosse mais leve! Em especial ao meu amigo José Miguel Salazar, que se fez um irmão e passa comigo os principais perrengues da vida. Agradeço ao Tiago, por tanto me motivar e apoiar! Com certeza é mais fácil quando temos alguém tão parceiro ao nosso lado. Obrigada por ser meu maior companheiro e incentivador. Você é um dos poucos que sabe de verdade o quanto esse período de pós-graduação foi exaustivo e não me deixou desistir. Agradeço a todos os docentes que participaram da minha vida acadêmica ao longo dos anos, principalmente os da patologia veterinária. A profissional que me tornei carrega um pequeno pedaço de cada um de vocês, seja nas experiências produtivas e, principalmente, nas desafiadoras. Agradeço especialmente as minhas mestres e amigas: Maria Cecília Luvizotto e Gisele Zoccal, por me apresentarem o incrível mundo acadêmico e dividirem comigo seu conhecimento. E meu agradecimento especial a professora Claudia Momo, ser humano único, que exala empatia e generosidade. Foi quem me abraçou no meu maior momento de suscetibilidade profissional e me ajudou a segurar as pontas, mostrando que confiava no meu trabalho e competência. Espero ser aos meus alunos pelo menos um pouco do que a Claudia representa na vida dos que tem o privilégio de trabalhar diretamente com ela e conhecer a mulher forte que é. Agradeço também a todos os professores e residentes dos Serviços de
