Unexpected Cytological Detection of Leishmania infantum within the Secretion of a Canine Mammary Carcinoma

K. Törner, H. Aupperle-Lellbach, E. Müller, T.J. Naucke, I. Schäfer Animals 2024, 14(19), 2794 Simple Summary:  A dog imported from Greece to Germany presented a mass in the mammary gland. Cytology of the secretion was performed, and besides the malignant epithelial cells, amastigotes of Leishmania (L.). infantum were identified. Diagnoses of mammary carcinoma and canine leishmaniasis were confirmed by histopathology, […]

Molecular and Serological Detection of Vector-Borne Pathogens Responsible for Equine Piroplasmosis in Europe between 2008 and 2021

C.W. Axt, A. Springer, C. Strube, C. Jung, T.J. Naucke, E. Müller, I. Schäfer Microorganisms 2024, 12(4), 816 Abstract: Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is caused by Theileria (T.) equi and/or Babesia (B.) caballi. The aim was to assess the percentage of positive test results for EP in horses in Europe and to identify risk factors for pathogen contact/infection. This study included results from PCR and […]

Antibody ratios against NS1 antigens of tick-borne encephalitis and West Nile viruses support differential flavivirus serology in dogs

L. Könenkamp, U. Ziegler, T. Naucke, M.H. Groschup, I. Steffen Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, June 2022 69(7) Abstract: Flavivirus diagnostics are complicated by substantial cross-reactivity of antibodiesbetween different flavivirus species. This is of particular importance in regions withmultiple endemic flaviviruses in co-circulation. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) isthe causative agent of tick-borne encephalitis, the most common […]
