Babesia canis; aldosterone; babesiosis; blood serum; creatinine; diastolic blood pressure; dog diseases; dogs; excretion; hypotension; kidneys; potassium; renal failure; systolic blood pressure; urea
Abstract:
... Background: The previous work on canine babesiosis revealed hypokalaemia and increased fractional excretion of potassium in infected dogs suggesting a role for aldosterone in the loss of potassium via the kidneys in affected dogs. Moreover, hypotension, which is one of the complications of canine babesiosis leading to renal failure, may induce secondary hyperaldosteronism. Animals and methods: In ...

Abstract:
... Background: Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American foulbrood (AFB), a widespread and severe bacterial brood disease of honey bees. The genomic characterization of P. larvae strains by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus–polymerase chain reaction (ERIC–PCR) is able to differentiate four genotypes (ERIC I, ERIC II, ERIC III, ERIC IV). The information on the presence of ...
