2008 article
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are infected and activated during acute FIV infection
Mexas, A. M., Fogle, J. E., Tompkins, W. A., & Tompkins, M. B. (2008, August 23). Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology.
author keywords: FIV; HIV; Regulatory T cells; Acute infection
MeSH headings : Animals; Cat Diseases / immunology; Cats; Feline Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome / immunology; Flow Cytometry / veterinary; Forkhead Transcription Factors / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation / immunology; Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline / genetics; Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline / immunology; Interleukin-2 / immunology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / virology; Viremia / veterinary
topics (OpenAlex): Immune Cell Function and Interaction; HIV Research and Treatment; T-cell and B-cell Immunology
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that early activation of Treg immunosuppressor function may limit an effective anti-FIV response is supported, contributing to the establishment of chronic infection and the immunodeficiency caused by this virus.

Smithberg, S. R., Fogle, J. E., Mexas, A. M., Reckling, S. K., Lankford, S. M., Tompkins, M. B., & Dean, G. A. (2007, October 29). Journal of Immunological Methods.
author keywords: regulatory T cell; FOXP3; feline immunodeficiency virus; monoclonal antibody
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies, Monoclonal; Antibody Formation; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / drug effects; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / immunology; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / metabolism; CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes / drug effects; CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes / immunology; Cats; Cell Proliferation; Cells, Cultured; Forkhead Transcription Factors / genetics; Forkhead Transcription Factors / metabolism; Gene Products, gag / pharmacology; Immunoglobulin G / blood; Immunologic Memory; Interleukin-2 Receptor alpha Subunit / immunology; Interleukin-2 Receptor alpha Subunit / metabolism; Lymphocyte Activation; Lymphocyte Depletion / methods; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Recombinant Proteins / pharmacology; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / drug effects; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / immunology; T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory / metabolism; Time Factors
topics (OpenAlex): T-cell and B-cell Immunology; Immune Cell Function and Interaction; Immunotherapy and Immune Responses
TL;DR:
It is concluded that despite alterations in CD25+ cell levels during depletion, the feline immune system remains functional and a model for the study of disease pathogenesis in the context of reduced numbers of immunosuppressive CD4+CD25+ Tregs throughout the f cat system is demonstrated.

2005 journal article
Isolation of necrotoxigenic Escherichia coli from a dog with hemorrhagic pneumonia
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 226(12), 2016–2019.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacterial Typing Techniques / veterinary; Dog Diseases / diagnosis; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dogs; Escherichia coli / isolation & purification; Escherichia coli / pathogenicity; Escherichia coli Infections / diagnosis; Escherichia coli Infections / microbiology; Escherichia coli Infections / veterinary; Fatal Outcome; Hemorrhage / diagnosis; Hemorrhage / microbiology; Hemorrhage / veterinary; Lung / microbiology; Lung / pathology; Male; Pneumonia, Bacterial / diagnosis; Pneumonia, Bacterial / microbiology; Pneumonia, Bacterial / veterinary; Virulence
topics (OpenAlex): Escherichia coli research studies; Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology; Probiotics and Fermented Foods
TL;DR:
A 7-month-old sexually intact male Cocker Spaniel was admitted to the North Carolina State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for evaluation of lethargy, panting, and excessive salivation that had become progressively severe during a 5-hour period, and death was attributed to acute, severe, necrotizing pneumonia.

2002 journal article
Bartonella henselae and Bartonella elizabethae as Potential Canine Pathogens
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 40(12), 4670–4674.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bartonella / classification; Bartonella / genetics; Bartonella / isolation & purification; Bartonella / pathogenicity; Bartonella Infections / microbiology; Bartonella Infections / veterinary; Bartonella henselae / classification; Bartonella henselae / genetics; Bartonella henselae / isolation & purification; Bartonella henselae / pathogenicity; Blood Specimen Collection / methods; DNA, Bacterial / blood; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dogs; Edetic Acid; Female; Male; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Sequence Analysis, DNA
topics (OpenAlex): Bartonella species infections research; Rabies epidemiology and control; Streptococcal Infections and Treatments
TL;DR:
DNA from EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples obtained from four dogs was amplified and sequenced and showed that B. elizabethae should be added to the list of Bartonella species, and may have potential zoonotic implications, particularly if dogs can serve as a previously unrecognized reservoir for B. henselae.
