Diarrhoea

Numerousreportswerereceived,especiallyfromtheFreeState,oflambsandcalvesdyingandnumerousanimalswithclinicalsignsofdiarrhoea.Samplesweresentawayfordiagnosisandrapidtestswereusedonthefarm.ItseemsthatCryptosporidiumspp.,E.coli,rotavirus,coronavirus,clostridialspp(especiallyClostridiumperfringenstypeA)andSalmonellaserotypesplayedaroleinthediseasecomplex.WhilenotmuchisknownaboutCryptosporidium,thefollowingisgiven:

Cryptosporidiosis is caused by a protozoal parasite of the genus Cryptosporidium and is usually an inapparent infection (no clinical signs seen) in a wide range of animals, fish, reptiles and humans. Clinical cases may occur as a result of lesions in the gastro-intestinal tract caused by the organism. Clinical sign seen is a diarrhoea, especially in neonatal animals and in animals where the immune system is supressed. The infection is also a zoonosis which means that humans may become infected when in contact with infected animals.

Cryptosporidium spp. is smaller in size compared to Coccidia and complete their life-cycle in the epithelial cells of the gastro-intestinal tract. In young animals the life-cycle is completed in 3 to 4 days which is a shorter period compared to coccidia.

The OIE (World organization for animal health) has the following information on the web regarding cryptosporidiosis: http://fliphtml5.com/pfug/ebtp

Contact your veterinarian for advice.

Kriptosporidiose word veroorsaak deur ‘n protosoa van die genus Cryptosporidium en is gewoonlik ‘n onopsigtelike infeksie in ‘n groot verskeidenheid van diere, visse, reptiele en mense. Daar mag ook

kliniese gevalle voorkom deurdat letsels, veroorsaak deur die organisme, in die dermkanaal kan voorkom met gevolglike diarree. Hierdie besmetting kom veral voor in pasgebore diere en waar diere se immuunstelsel onderdruk is. Die besmetting is ook ‘n soönose wat beteken dat die besmetting van diere na mense oorgedra kan word.

Cryptosporidium spp. is kleiner as koksidia en voltooi hulle lewensiklus in die dermkanaal se epiteelselle. In jong diere word die lewensiklus in 3 tot 4 dae voltooi en is korter as die van koksidia.

http://landbou.com/kundiges/vra-vir-faffa/koksidiose-in-bokke-skape-en-beeste/

Epidemiologie

In diere kom die infeksie die algemeenste in kalwers voor, maar word ook gevind in varke, lammers, bokkies en immuunonderdrukte vulletjies. Uitbreke van kliniese siekte kom meestal voor gedurende die een tot 4 weke ouderdom. Kalwers met diarree skei so veel as 10 miljoen oösiste (lyk soos baie klein eiertjies) per gram mis uit, wat die omgewing besmet. Hierdie oösiste word ook in die mis van diere wat subklinies (diere wys nie siektetekens nie) besmet is, gevind.

Oösiste is baie weerstandig teen omgewingsfaktore, maar die oorlewingsperiode van die oösiste buite die gasheer is onbekend. Gechloriniseerde water het weinig effek op die organisme en kriptosporidiose is dan ook ‘n groot publieke gesondheidsprobleem deurdat die parasiete wateroordraagbaar is. Onder eksperimentele toestande is die besmetlikheid verloor nadat water gestoor is vir 6 maande by 4 grade Celcius.

Oordraging

Oordraging geskied deur die inname van oösiste in besmette kos of water terwyl aërosoloordraging ook kan plaasvind. Lg. is bevestig deurdat lugweginfeksies ook gevind is.

Diere wat genoegsame gamma globulien bevattende kolostrum ingeneem het, behoort minder vatbaar vir infeksie te wees.

Herstel van diere met kriptosporidiose vind gewoonlik binne 30 dae plaas.

Daar is gevalle gerapporteer waar Cryptosporidium die enigste oorsaak was waar diere ‘n diarree gehad het, maar gewoonlik kom die parasiet saam met ander dermpatogene soos rotavrus, coronavirus, Salmonella serovars en E. coli voor. Hierdie gesamentlike infeksies verhoog die mortaliteitsyfer.

Erge stresfaktore soos bv. koue mag die vrektesyfer verhoog. Waar die immuniteit van diere onderdruk word, is die kliniese tekens, wat deur Cryptosporidium veroorsaak word, ook hoër. Erge infeksies is gerapporteer in Arabierperdvullens wat gely het aan die immuniteittekortsindroom binne die eerste maand na geboorte.

Mense kan die siekte opdoen deur kontak te maak met besmette mense en diere en is ‘n algemene oorsaak van diarree wanneer gereis word. Dit is nog nie duidelik of besmette mense diere kan aansteek nie.

Siekteverloop

Cryptosporidium spesies het ‘n aansienlike uitwerking op die membraangebonde verteringsensiemes wat veroorsaak dat daar swak vertering van voedsel plaasvind. Swak opname van voedingstowwe vind plaas omdat die villi van die derm se grootte afneem.

Behalwe in baie jong diere is die infeksie gewoonlik onopsigtelik of mild. Die inkubasieperiode na aanvanklike besmetting varieer gewoonlik twee tot sewe dae.

Diarree kom voor tussen een en 4 weke oudedom en duur gewoonlik een tot 4 weke lank. Aantastingsyfer is gewoonlik hoog, maar vrektesyfer laag. Die aanvang van kliniese siekte is gewoonlik skielik en tekens is min of meer dieselfde in al die spesies. Diere is depressief en wil nie vreet nie waarna daar ’n erge geel waterige diarree voorkom met ontwatering van die dier. Parsing mag voorkom. Na ‘n paar dae wat die siekte verloop het, kom diarree met tussenposes voor. Die konsistens van die mis is nog papperig vir tot 10 dae. Gewigsverlies is opmerklik. Terugslag mag ook na aanvanklike herstel voorkom. Varke mag opgooi. Meeste diere herstel spontaan behalwe waar komplikasies met ander besmettings soos reeds hierbo genoem gesamentlik voorkom. Erge kroniese besmetting kan in immuunonderdrukte diere voorkom.

Diagnose en onderskeiding van ander siektes (differensiële diagnose)

Diagnose word gemaak wanneer daar baie oösiste in die mis van jong diere met kliniese tekens gevind word. Smere van die mis word gemaak, gefikseer in metanol en gekleur met die gemodifiseerde Ziehl-Neelsen of safranienmetode. Monsters word van die dermkanaal geneem en na ‘n laboratorium gestuur vir histologiese ondersoek. Dit is belangrik dat daar ook vir ander siekteveroorsakende oorsake gesoek word (E. coli, rotavirus, coronavirus, salmonellose en koksidiose) wat saam met Cryptosporidium kan voorkom.

http://landbou.com/kundiges/vra-vir-faffa/e-coli-in-diere/

Voorkoming en Beheer

In meeste gevalle is die siekte selfbeperkend. Dit is belangrik om die besmetting simptomaties te behandel veral vir dehidrasie en elektrolietvervanging waar erge diarree voorkom. Probleme geskied veral waar infeksies soos bv. E. coli en Salmonella Tipes gelyktydig met Cryptosporidium voorkom.

Daar is ’n publikasie waar decoquinate (Deccox 6%, Zoetis, G3282) vir die vermindering van oösiste in die mis van kalwers en lammers in die voer gebruik is teen ‘n dosis van 2,5 mg/kg vir 3 weke.

Voorkom en verminder die inname van oösiste deur jong diere in ‘n skoon droë omgewing groot te maak. Mis moet gereeld verwyder word en diere met ‘n diarree moet geїsoleer word.

Oösiste is weerstandig teen baie ontsmettingsmiddels maar kan vernietig word deur blootstelling aan 5% ammoniakoplossing of 10% formalien.

Geen geregistreerde entstof is tans beskikbaar nie.

Condition CommentsMidgesandnuisanceflies Hot weather with flood irrigation allocation

has seen an explosion, dry hot weather forces insects to search for moisture?

Clostridiumspecies Heat wave days result in lowered food intake, moderate weather following result in increase/over intake of highly fermentable

and digestable nutrients. Overgrowth of Clostridium = rooiderm= enterotoxaemia

Diarrhoea Extreme heat days or over heating followed by ooler days result in a trigger for diarrhoea. Severe tiflocolitis – normal entero flora overgrowth notably by Clostridium group. Peracute to acute condition. If preliminary antibiotics (oxytetracyclines or macrolides) are not effective, mortalitiy rate of 80% is to be expected. 2nd and 3rd generation antibiotics or quinolones have little to no effect.

Cold/Heatexposure Hot weather followed by poor very cold day or evenings. Notably older chicks which are not fully protected suffer most. Show poor intake, negative metabolic rate and long tail of mortalities
