Histophilus somni
by Thomas J. InzanaThis volume reviews the current understanding of the taxonomy, disease syndromes, genetics, biology, and pathogenic factors of Histophilus somni, as well as the host immune response to this pathogen. H. somni is one of the most important bacterial pathogens in cattle and other ruminants, and its virulence factors are highly conserved with Haemophilus influenzae and other members of the Pasteurellaceae. H. somni has been recognized as a major cause of thrombotic meningoencephalitis, respiratory disease syndromes, myocarditis, reproductive disease syndromes, polyarthritis, mastitis, ocular disease, and septicemia. The only known habitats of H. somni are the mucosal surfaces of ruminants, making this bacterium an opportunistic pathogen. Although it is capable of causing inflammation at systemic sites and is toxic to epithelial and phagocytic cells, the bacterium's wide array of virulence factors act primarily as a defense against, or to escape recognition from, host innate and adaptive immunity.
La historia de Cassie
by Brian L. PorterEsta es la historia de Cassie: una perrita de rescate que tenía poco más de dos años cuando se unió a la familia de rescates de Brian y Juliet, habiendo tenido ya tres dueños anteriores en su corta vida. La pequeña terrier pronto se abrió camino en los corazones de la familia, y sus payasadas y su actitud sobredimensionada le valieron rápidamente los apodos de'El hurón loco' y'La bruja malvada del Oeste'. Cassie puede describirse mejor como una 'dinamo de bolsillo' o, como dice el autor, "está llena de energía ilimitada y, a pesar de tener catorce años, es como un conejito de Duracell sin interruptor de apagado". Cassie se ha recuperado de las operaciones, se las arregló para perderse y fue encontrada en una tarde, ahuyentó a los Rottweilers y Dobermans que han tenido el valor de intentar robar su pelota de tenis, y se encontró a sí misma lesionada por interferir en las peleas de perros más grandes. La gente no puede evitar enamorarse de este pequeño bulto de alegría.
