This study aimed to explain the case of ectoparasite infection and the life cycle of parasites in turtledoves (Geopelia striata). Sarcoptes sp. one of the ectoparasites belonging to the phylum Arthropods, the Arachnid class, and the order Acarina.Sarcoptes sp. can infect the skin of the host through direct contact with infected animals and the environment. Sarcoptes sp. infects by forming a lump under the skin and severe infection causes a crust to form on the skin and is accompanied by itching. Physical examination was carried out by means of inspection of the infected skin area. Subsequent examinations were carried out on the dead skin cells mixed with fresh manure macroscopically and microscopically. Macroscopic examination was done by observing the condition of the skin that is discraped. Microscopic examination using native examination. Based on the negative examination, it was found that there were Sarcoptes sp. mites on an objective microscope with a 40x magnification. Geopelia striata can be infected with Sarcoptes sp. through direct contact with sick animals. The incubation period of Sarcoptes sp. after infection from infected animals was 3-6 weeks.

Th is paper describes a rare case of severe notoedrosis (notoedric mange) in a household cat from the suburban region of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to history, the male cat was in direct contact with stray kitten which had dermatological disorder. Th e examination of the skin revealed an intensely pruritic and hyperkeratotic dermatitis with typical scabby appearance. Deep scarifi cation samples were collected from the altered skin area and macerated in 10% KOH. Th e microscopic examination revealed mites from genus Notoedres, later identifi ed as Notoedres cati according to the morphological shape and size. Th e aff ected cat was treated with ivermectin 0.4 mg/kg, subcutaneously, two times with 7 day intervals. The first follow-up physical examination was done aft er seven days. Th is control showed that pruritic changes began to disappear. This case report confi rms the presence of Notoedres cati in the cat population in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A 69-year-old patient treated for infiltrating bladder transitional carcinoma many years ago presented with a submandibular nodule. The last was fortuitously discovered by the patient a month before he presented to consultation. Physical examination showed a firm subcutaneous nodule of 0.5 cm in diameter in the right submandibular region. At this level skin was inflamed/red and swollen. Otherwise physical examination was within normal. The described nodule above was biopsied. Microscopic examination showed infiltration of the dermis by a carcinomatous proliferation (Fig. 1). Tumor cells were arranged in small nests and clusters surrounded by a fibrous stroma. Tumor cells showed moderate nuclear atypia. Immunohistochemical staining showed positivity of tumor cells for Cytokeratin 7 and P63 (Fig. 2). Therefore, taking into consideration patient’s medical history, microscopic and immunohistochemical findings the diagnosis of CM from urothelial carcinoma was retained. The first case of CM from bladder carcinoma was reported in 1909 [3]. Since then many case have been reported [1,2]. According to cases reported in literature so far, the mean interval of time between the setting of bladder cancer and the appearance of CM is of 18 months approximately. Large tumor size and deep infiltration of the bladder wall are predictive factors of CM. However, cases of CM associated with superficial bladder carcinomas were reported [3]. The certain diagnosis is based on microscopic examination [1,3]. Pathologists should be aware of patient’s medical history to facilitate the diagnosis and choosing appropriate immunostains if necessary especially in front of a poorly differentiated carcinoma[3]. Urothelial carcinomas express Cytokeratin 7 and Cytokeratin 20 antibodies [3]. The occurring of CM in case of bladder cancer darken the prognosis [1,2]. Median survival rates are less than 12 months in published cases so far [1,3]. Treatment consists of chemotherapy if the patient could bare it [1]. Total recovery was detected in 70% of cases of CM treated with chemotherapy. Yet, it does not improve global survival rates [3].

Background: Scabies is a skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies is transmitted through direct contact with animals affected by scabies or contact with the source of scabies mite in area of cat lives. Purpose: This study aims to determine the management of scabies at Q-One PetKlinik Surabaya. Method: Handling domestic cats affected by S.scabiei began with an interview with the  owner and examinated with the physical condition of cats, and observed the body that was infected with S.scabiei. Scrabbing on scabs was conducted in the cat’s body which was located in the facial area, and followed by microscopic examination to observe the S.scabiei mite. Results: During April 2021, there were 13 domestic cats affected by scabies. Treatment for scabies was by administrated drugs containing 5% Permethrin. Cats were also given supportive therapy by grooming with antiectoparasite shampoo after two weeks from being given drugs. Conclusion: Handling cases of scabies in domestic cats at Q-One PetKlinik Surabaya is performed by cleaning the scab, applying an ointment containing 5% permethrin, and giving anti-histamine and anti-parasitic as well as providing supportive therapy in the form of grooming using shampoo containing anti-ectoparasites.

Abstract An improved method has been developed for canned whole and cream style corn to replace 40.104. The proposed method is unique because the microscopic and macroscopic examinations can be conducted almost concurrently; in the official method the macroscopic examination is dependent upon completion of the microscopic examination. The proposed method is shorter and it eliminates the use of viscous castor oil by specifying extraction in a percolator with paraffin oil from hot 40% isopropanol. Glassware is easily cleaned up after percolator cycles with isopropanol and water rinses. The proposed method yielded improved recoveries of insect and rodent filth spike elements. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Sarcosporidiosis is a parasitic disease due to the development of cystogenic coccidia of the genus Sarcocystis with dixene evolution and muscular localization, which can cause losses in cattle and generate an intestinal infection in domestic carnivores (dog, cat) and humans. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of Sarcocystis spp on 149 bovine carcasses at the Eucalyptus slaughterhouse in Algiers by macroscopic and microscopic examination and to evaluate the influence of certain risk factors (age, sex, breed and origin). Samples of esophagus and diaphragms were taken from slaughtered cattle and analyzed by enzymatic (pepsin) digestion and histological technique. The macroscopic examination was negative during carcasses inspection while the microscopic examination showed a prevalence of 100% for enzymatic digestion by revealing bradyzoites in the form of bananas and 47.7% at the histology with the detection of thin-walled cysts of S. cruzi (98.6%), of thick-walled cysts of S. hominis (15.5%) which was the zoonotic species and of S. hirsuta (1.39%). The risk factors studied significantly influenced the prevalence of Sarcocystis sp. This study revealed for the first time in the diaphragm a cyst of Sarcocystis hirsuta.

Monthly samples of the bivalves Atactodea striata, Gafrariurn turnidum and Anadara scapha were collected over 1 year from the littoral zone on the south-western coast of New Caledonia. A. striata and G. turnidum were studied by macroscopic examination of gonads and microscopic examination of gamete smears. For A. scapha, only microscopic examination was used. A. striata and G. turnidum are dioecious, whereas A. scapha is a protandric hermaphrodite. Sexual differentiation begins at a shell length of 20 mm for A. striata and G. turnidum and 22 mm for A. scapha. The three species have an extended or continuous breeding period, although, in all three, sexual activity peaks in the hot season.

Umbilical Endometriosis

Umbilical endometriosis is a rare clinical entity with unclear pathogenesis. A 36-year-old woman who presented with painless umbilical bleeding during the menstrual period for 9 months, history of dysmenorrhea for 10 years ago without medial used for relieving pain. A painless, 2-cm superficial hyperpigmented dark nodule with an orifice located in an umbilicus had been revealed during physical examination. The ultrasonography showed a 2.6-cm right hypoechogenic ovarian cyst and a 2.37-cm umbilical mass. The operation was umbilical lesion excision, laparoscopic enucleation of right endometrioma and surgical excision of endometriosis at the uterosacral ligament which revealed endometriosis on microscopic examination. The umbilicus had performed for neo-umbilicus suturing. Postoperative was uneventful. The concomitant endometriosis of the umbilicus, right endometrioma and the uterosacral ligament is rarely reported in the literature.

Histomonas meleagridis (Trichomonadida; Moncercomonadidae), an effective protozoan causing the disease known as "Karabaş Hastalığı" in Turkey. This parasite, which has a cosmopolitan spread in the world, is manifesting deaths of up to 100% in young turkeys. It is also found in chickens, partridge, quail, duck, pheasant and Guinea fowl. A cecum of a 60-day old American bronze turkey was sent to our laboratory for examination from a local turkey carer in Van. In the macroscopic examination, ıt was seen that there was engorged cecum. Giemsa stained smears were prepared from these focal and examined microscopically. As a result of the examination, several flagellated form ranging from 8 to 15 µm were detected. Histomoniasis was diagnosed by considering the anemnesis obtained from the owner, engorged detected in the cecum and flagellated forms seen in the microscopic examination.

1. Pleomorphic, bacterium-like, Gram-negative, intracellular microorganisms, which stained much less intensely with ordinary dyes than most bacteria were found in sixteen species of ticks comprising examples of the Argasidæ and the Ixodidæ. 2. In six of these species studied intensively slight differences in the microorganisms were detected, sufficient to permit identification of the vectors by microscopic examination of the microorganism alone. 3. No evidence was seen of injury to the tissues of the arachnid hosts of the microorganisms other than that incident to mechanical distention of the cells containing them. 4. The detection of the microorganisms in the eggs of ten species, in the unfed larvæ of eight species, and at nearly related stages throughout the life cycle of three others leads to the conclusion that they are transmitted hereditarily.
