    Porcine respiratory disease complex, which is caused by a combination of pathogens, including swine influenza A virus (SIV) and porcine reproductive respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), results in significant economic losses in pig production systems. Nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) plays an important role in the uptake of pathogens and defence of the nasal mucosa in rodents and humans. We characterized NALT M cells in pigs and detected SIV antigen and PRRSV nucleic acid in NALT using histopathological, immunohistochemical and in-situ hybridization analyses. All SIV- and PRRSV-positive cases examined had suppurative nasopharyngitis and pneumonia. M cells were detected by immunohistochemistry and the distribution of M cells showed an increase in the middle section of NALT. SIV antigen was detected in M cells and PRRSV nucleic acid was demonstrated in the cytoplasm of macrophages in NALT. We believe that SIV and PRRSV infection in the upper respiratory tract induces local immunosuppression and these results confirm that swine NALT is a location for virus replication and may be strongly associated with the development of pneumonia in pigs.

    A 5-y-old female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) from an aquarium in Japan had clinical signs of anorexia, vomiting, and bradykinesia. Enrofloxacin and lactated Ringer solution were administered for treatment of bacterial infection and for rehydration. Elevations of creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were detected on day 4 of treatment, indicating that rhabdomyolysis had developed on day 3. On day 5, serum creatinine and urea concentrations increased and remained high throughout the remaining treatment; the dolphin died on day 16. Postmortem examination revealed massive necrosis of the longissimus dorsi muscles. Histologic examination revealed extensive necrosis of skeletal myofibers, multifocal renal tubular necrosis with intratubular casts and crystals, and suppurative bronchopneumonia. The renal casts labeled positively with anti-myoglobin antibody; expression of aquaporin-1 was decreased in renal tubules compared to normal kidney tissue. To our knowledge, this description of clinicopathologic findings of rhabdomyolysis leading to acute kidney injury with concomitant crystalline nephropathy has not been reported previously in a bottlenose dolphin.

  • Causes of death and detection of antibodies against japanese encephalitis virus in misaki feral horses (Equus caballus) in Southern Japan, 2015–17 Reviewed

    We performed postmortem examinations on seven Misaki feral horses (Equus caballus) and evaluated Misaki feral horses, Japanese wild boars (Sus scrofa leucomystax), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa), and wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata fuscata) from 2015 to 2017 in Cape Toi, Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Japan, for antibodies against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Strongylus vulgaris infection with severe arterial lesions and hemomelasma ilei was present in all necropsied horses. We frequently found intestinal ulcers, perihepatitis filamentosa, and poor body condition. We recorded degenerative arthropathy in metacarpophalangeal joints in two cases and a fracture of the rib with diaphragmatic rupture in one case. A total of 73% (177/242) of horses were seropositive for JEV as tested by hemagglutination inhibition (HI). The HI data also revealed that 74% (59/80) of the wild boars, 67% (60/90) of the pigs, and 29% (22/75) of the wild monkeys were seropositive for JEV. Our findings showed that Strongylus spp. are still a risk to horses in this region, and that environmental factors such as topographic location of the pasture and steep slope may have caused of degenerative arthropathy and bone fracture. Our results showed that JEV is endemic in Japan. The wild boars and pigs were presumed to act as strong amplifiers and sources of infection, with subsequent risk to humans.
