Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

24
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cyniclomyces guttulatus, a yeast from rabbit feces, was found in 19 dogs, often causing gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea. This yeast appears uncommon in the general dog population.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Microbiology
  • Canine Health

Background:

  • Cyniclomyces guttulatus is a gastrointestinal yeast found in rabbits.
  • It's considered nonpathogenic in rabbits but a potential opportunistic pathogen in dogs ingesting rabbit feces.
  • Previous understanding of its role in canine health was limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize clinical presentations, findings, and diagnoses in dogs with Cyniclomyces guttulatus.
  • To determine the prevalence of Cyniclomyces guttulatus in a general dog population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of veterinary records (2006-2013) for dogs diagnosed with C. guttulatus.
  • Cytological examination of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal samples.
  • Prevalence study in 105 shelter dogs.

Main Results:

  • Nineteen dogs were diagnosed with C. guttulatus.
  • 79% of affected dogs showed gastrointestinal signs, primarily chronic diarrhea.
  • The yeast was found in gastrointestinal samples, but also in nasal and urine samples in four dogs.
  • C. guttulatus was not detected in 105 shelter dogs, indicating low prevalence.

Conclusions:

  • Cyniclomyces guttulatus is associated with gastrointestinal disease in some dogs.
  • The yeast can be found in non-gastrointestinal sites.
  • Further research is needed to establish if C. guttulatus causes or results from gastrointestinal illness in dogs.
  • Its prevalence in the general dog population appears low.
