TL;DR: This study identifies AMC-CM as a novel therapeutic biological cell-free product for treating horse tendon and ligament diseases and demonstrates that AMCs are capable of inhibiting peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation after allogenic stimulation.

TL;DR: The possibility to inject allogeneic AMSCs in real time, before any ultrasonographic change occurs within the injured tendon and ligament, together with the higher plasticity and proliferative capacity of these cells compared with BM-MSCs, represents the main features of interest for this novel approach for the treatment of equine tendon diseases.

TL;DR: Stray cat colonies in urban and rural areas of Lombardy, northern Italy, were surveyed for seroprevalence and found male gender and adult age were risk factors for FIV infection, whereas toxoplasmosis exposure was comparable with the worldwide data.

TL;DR: Stray cats in Milan have a high seropositivity rate, comparable to that of cats in areas endemic for leishmaniosis, and the frequency of seroreactivity to L. infantum was significantly higher in FCoV-seropositive cats.

TL;DR: Results show that dogs with highest IFAT titers recorded had higher mean clinical scores indicating a positive relationship (P < 0.0001) between anti-Leishmania antibodies (IgG) and clinical manifestations, which becomes more evident in severe clinical forms of canine leishmaniasis.
