Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in goats, cats and humans in Russia
The findings suggest that the natural environment in Russia may be widely polluted with T. gondii oocysts shed by cats, and ingestion of these oocysts provides a major route for human infection with this parasite
The treatment of articular cartilage injuries with mesenchymal stem cells in different animal species
One of the major problems observed in veterinary practice is articular cartilage injuries in animals. In terms of
agriculture, it leads to their culling from the herd, even if they are highly productive animals. With companion animals,
owners usually have to decide between euthanasia or long-term sometimes lifelong treatment of the injury by a
veterinarian. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of cartilage injury in veterinary medicine is
based on the good results observed in preclinical studies, where large animals have been used as experimental models
to study the regenerative activity of MSCs. According to the literature, MSCs in veterinary medicine have been used
to treat cartilage injury of dogs and horses, whereas sheep and goats are generally models for reproducing the disease
in preclinical experimental studies.128-13
