Study breaks species barrier on widespread parasite

Study breaks species barrier on widespread parasite

JAVMA — In a scientific article published this summer, a research team from the University of Wisconsin and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service identified why cats are the hosts of Toxoplasma gondii and went on to use this knowledge to induce T gondii oocyte production in mice. The findings could make T gondii studies easier for more laboratories, aid work on vaccines that could protect people and animals from infection, and help investigators understand how other parasites reproduce.

Specialists in short supply

Specialists in short supply

JAVMA — Specialists in short supply The veterinary profession has a shortage of specialists across most or all disciplines, according to executives at universities and private practice groups. At least hundreds more veterinarians want to be specialists each year than are able to get into residencies. The demand may be greatest for radiologists, who can receive high pay and set their own hours as consultants, but might not be training enough residents.

Cocaine gives Greyhound racing a black eye

Cocaine gives Greyhound racing a black eye

JAVMA — Greyhounds in Florida have tested positive for cocaine or cocaine metabolites about 230 times in the past 20 years, according to state and court documents. The Racing Laboratory at the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine has analyzed more than 700,000 race-day urine samples since July 1998. Among the substances found during that time, cocaine and two metabolites—benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester—constitute one-fifth of the violations.

Finding lead in pets

Finding lead in pets

JAVMA — Dogs in Flint, Michigan, had high blood lead concentrations following the discovery of lead contamination in the city’s water supply. But the researchers who found those concentrations warn that lead contamination likely is a problem elsewhere as well. In the absence of surveillance for lead exposure in pets, the number or percentage of pets with exposure or toxicosis is unknown. Exposure in children and lead in homes may indicate that toxicosis is a risk for pets.
