SummaryGranulomatous myelitis due to infection with Mycobacterium avium was diagnosed in a 4-year-old male neutered European mink (Mustela lutreola). The causative agent was detected by an acid-fast stain and further characterized by polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing of the PCR product. A thorough histological evaluation of the remaining organs revealed no granulomatous lesions or detectable acid-fast organisms. Although minks are generally highly susceptible for mycobacteria, localised infections, especially of the central nervous system, are unusual and may represent an atypical chronic form of the disease.

SummaryAfter thrombin treatment insolubilized fibrinmonomer, which is obtained from insolubilized fibrinogen covalently bound to agarose, adsorbs soluble fibrin and its derivatives from solutions. The immobilized proteins are attached to the agarose by the ‘A’ αchain. After reduction of the disulfide bridges the β and γchains can be removed from the agarose.After thrombin treatment the immobilized αchain adsorbs fibrinogen and fragment D. To some extent the β and γchain do not seem necessary for the adsorption. The amount adsorbed increases, when thrombin treatment of the insolubilized protein follows the reduction process.This may indicate that the fibrinopeptides ‘A’ of the insolubilized αchain are better accessible after the removal of the β and γchains.

Ptychobothridean genera like Senga and Circumoncobothrium are the common parasites of fresh water fishes. The genotypic study of these parasites was taken by RAPD. The RAPD profile of these two parasites were not similar to each other as depicted by the band pattern in picture. These results suggest the presence of inter-specific polymorphism among cestode parasites of two different genera for RAPD analysis. The present study demonstrated that genetic differentiation of cestode parasites could be accomplished on the basis of genomic variation with polymorphic band pattern using RAPD. All the detected bands (PCR product) were polymorphic and band size ranged from 500-5000 bp in length. The RAPD of profiles using GBO-31, GBO-32, GBO-33, GBO-34, GBO-35 and GBO-36. Primers were able to characterize inter-specific polymorphism among the two genus ( Senga and Circumoncobothrium ). Genetic analysis suggests that Senga and Circumoncobothrium show genetic diversity with respect to RAPD patterns using all the six primers used for the present study. The genetic distance between the analyzed genuses ranged from 0.14 to 0.80. The differentiation of the two parasites on the basis of genetic markers could greatly facilitate study on the biology of these parasites.

ABSTRACT The percentage of LH* bound to antibodies that have been covalently bound to cellulose is diminished in the presence of LH-free human serum and sera from various species of animals. Serum fractionation studies on Sephadex G 200 show that the greatest interference comes from the proteins eluted in the void volume i. e. the high molecular weight proteins. Specifically, the gamma M globulins and the α2-macroglobulins appear to play an important role, as demonstrated by tests in which these proteins were neutralized by gamma M and α2-macroglobulin antisera.

ABSTRACT Radioimmunoassays using either free or covalently bound antibodies under otherwise identical conditions have been compared. A lowered utilization of antibodies and a loss in sensitivity protential have been observed with the last mentioned method.

Gastrointestinal helminths are ubiquitous in both domestic and wild animals. Infections are often sub-clinical except in circumstances of destabilization of host-parasite equilibrium by innate or environmental factors. The present case deals with microscopic and molecular diagnosis of Murshidia linstowi recovered from an elephant. A post-mortem examination of a free-ranging juvenile male elephant calf that had died of electrocution in Athagarh Wildlife Division revealed the presence of slender, whitish nematodes in the stomach. No gross lesions were noticed either in the site of predilection or any other internal organs. The average length of the parasites was 3.8cm.  These parasites were collected for further gross as well as microscopic examination following routine parasitological techniques. Temporary mounts prepared after cleaning the nematodes in lactophenol were observed under a microscope. Morphological features such as a well-developed mouth collar, large and globular buccal capsule with fine tubercles, cone shaped oesophageal funnel, short bursa having indistinctly divided lobes and closely apposed ventral rays and stout spicules with club shaped tips bent dorsally corroborated with that of M.linstowi (male). Amplification of the rDNA from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region using universal nematode primers NC2 and NC5 revealed a product size of 870bp. The PCR product was subjected to sequencing followed by NCBI-BLAST which revealed 98% homology with M. linstowi. A phylogenetic study showed a maximum similarity with M.linstowi recovered from elephants in Kenya. This particular nematode species belonging to the family Strongylidae and sub-family Cyathostominae appears to be the first documented report in India.
