Necropsy revealed large numbers of strongyloidid nematodes within the small intestines associated with a moderate mucosal hyperplasia. Strongyloides sp. parasitic females, representing a novel species, were isolated from the fixed intestinal tract. This case report represents the first full description of strongyloidiasis in a tree frog army and highlights the potential of Strongyloides spp. as a cause of rapid mortality events associated with protein-losing enteropathy in frogs.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE}, author={Troan, Brigid V and Swartley, Olivia M. and Delk, Katie W. and Flowers, James R.}, year={2020}, month={Dec}, pages={1052–1055} } @article{kern_swartley_neupane_balakrishnan_breitschwerdt_2019, title={Pasteurella canis infective endocarditis in a dog}, volume={229}, ISSN={0378-1135}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.12.001}, DOI={10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.12.001}, abstractNote={Infective endocarditis, an infrequent clinical syndrome in dogs, is typically associated with nondescript clinical signs such as fever, malaise and loss of appetite. Although an uncommonly reported infection in dogs, Pasteurella canis is an emerging pathogen with increasing relevance in the human microbiology literature. The goal of this study is to detail the clinical presentation and microbiological findings associated with a novel causative agent of infective endocarditis in the dog. Diagnostic evaluation as well as conventional, automated and molecular microbiological methods are highlighted. The recent literature regarding P. canis and infective endocarditis in companion animals and humans is reviewed. Although an unusual etiologic agent of infective endocarditis, awareness of P. canis as a diagnostic possibility is crucial to accurate microbial surveillance.}, journal={Veterinary Microbiology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Kern, Zachary T. and Swartley, Olivia M. and Neupane, Pradeep and Balakrishnan, Nandhakumar and Breitschwerdt, Edward B.}, year={2019}, month={Feb}, pages={14–19} } @article{swartley_foley_livingston_cullen_elmore_2016, title={Histology Atlas of the Developing Mouse Hepatobiliary Hemolymphatic Vascular System with Emphasis on Embryonic Days 11.5-18.5 and Early Postnatal Development}, volume={44}, ISSN={["1533-1601"]}, DOI={10.1177/0192623316630836}, abstractNote={ A critical event in embryo development is the proper formation of the vascular system, of which the hepatobiliary system plays a pivotal role. This has led researchers to use transgenic mice to identify the critical steps involved in developmental disorders associated with the hepatobiliary vascular system. Vascular development is dependent upon normal vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and the transformation of vessels into their adult counterparts. Any alteration in vascular development has the potential to cause deformities or embryonic death. Numerous publications describe specific stages of vascular development relating to various organs, but a single resource detailing the stage-by-stage development of the vasculature pertaining to the hepatobiliary system has not been available. This comprehensive histology atlas provides hematoxylin & eosin and immunohistochemical-stained sections of the developing mouse blood and lymphatic vasculature with emphasis on the hepatobiliary system between embryonic days (E) 11.5–18.5 and the early postnatal period. Additionally, this atlas includes a 3-dimensional video representation of the E18.5 mouse venous vasculature. One of the most noteworthy findings of this atlas is the identification of the portal sinus within the mouse, which has been erroneously misinterpreted as the ductus venosus in previous publications. Although the primary purpose of this atlas is to identify normal hepatobiliary vascular development, potential embryonic abnormalities are also described. }, number={5}, journal={TOXICOLOGIC PATHOLOGY}, author={Swartley, Olivia M. and Foley, Julie F. and Livingston, David P., III and Cullen, John M. and Elmore, Susan A.}, year={2016}, month={Jul}, pages={705–725} }
