“…On the other hand, results showed that gender did not significantly affect predatory behavior and toxoplasmosis. However, neutering was associated with significantly lower T. gondii seropositivity, which can be attributed to inhibited hunting instincts [ 31 ]. In the present study, LAT and ELISA were used for serological detection of T. gondii antibodies in cat sera.…”

The present study investigated the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and other intestinal parasites in cats in the Tokachi subprefecture in Japan. A total of 365 household cats were included in the study, and 353 serum and 351 fecal samples were collected and analyzed. T. gondii IgG antibodies were detected in the sera of 16.14% of cats based on Latex agglutination test and ELISA. For ELISA, T. gondii RH strain tachyzoites lysate and T. gondii SAG2 recombinant protein were used as antigens. Low seropositivity was detected in cats younger than one year and older than 11 years; outdoor and hunter cats showed significantly high seropositivities. Neutering either in male or female cats, but not gender, had a considerable effect on seroprevalence. Toxoplasma gondii oocysts were detected in one fecal sample. The overall parasitic infestation in cats was 12.5%. Other detected parasites included Toxocara species, which showed the highest prevalence of 7.7%, followed by Isospora spp. (2%), Taenia spp. (1.7%), and Ancylostoma spp. (0.9%). Spirometra spp. was detected in only one sample. Outdoor cats comprised 50% of all 44 parasite-infested cats. Although T. gondii oocysts were detected in only one sample, the relatively high seroprevalence of T. gondii indicated that it can pose significant risks to the environment. Our findings highlighted the potential of outdoor cats as a source of T. gondii and other parasites.

“…Gonadectomy in female and male cats will successfully prevent diseases in the removed tissue. In female cats, ovarian cysts (defined as persistent fluid filled structures in the ovarian parenchyma (Davidson & Baker, 2009) causing persistent oestrus, ovarian cancer as well as uterine diseases like CEH, pyometra and neoplasia, may be avoided by gonadectomy or hormonal down-regulation (Reichler, 2010). Cystic ovaries (Fig 75) can cause hormonal irregularities including hyperoestrogenism, persistent oestrus and/ or interoestrus.…”

“…A breed disposition is supposed but not proven; Siamese and Oriental breeds were reported to bear twice the risk in comparison to other breeds (Egenvall et al., 2010; Hayes et al., 1981). Gonadectomy or hormonal down‐regulation before puberty is a preventive measure (Reichler, 2010); a reduction of the incidence by 91% was described with gonadectomy under 6 months of age (Overley et al., 2005). Gonadectomy after 8 or 24 months, respectively, was described to exert no preventive effect (Hayes & Mooney, 1985; Overley et al., 2005); only in one study, a protective effect of OE against mammary carcinomas but not against benign tumours was found (Misdorp et al., 1991).…”

An alternative to surgical desexing in ferrets

DESEXING is the most commonly performed surgery in daily small animal practice and is well known to be the most efficient technique for reproduction control (Howe 2006). However, there is an increasing demand for non-surgical alternatives in pet species (Goericke-Pesch 2010, 2013, Goericke-Pesch and others 2014). There are several reasons for this: surgical desexing is known to induce not only desirable but also unwanted side effects (for example, urinary incontinence in bitches [Reichler 2009, 2010a, b]); it is irreversible and therefore not suitable for animals intended to be bred from later (Goericke-Pesch 2010, 2013, Goericke-Pesch and others 2014); and, depending on the country and culture, ethical frameworks (for example, castration of males being considered unethical) or legal restrictions (for example, animal protection laws that prohibit the removal of organs without medical
