Gianmarco Ferrara - Profile
Ferrara Gianmarco (DVM, PhD in Veterinary Sciences) graduated in 2017 with full marks in Veterinary Medicine with a thesis entitled "Caprine Herpesvirus as Candidate of Oncolytic Therapy". In 2018, he was selected for an industrial PhD project entitled "Characterization of 4 recombinant antigens for the Q fever diagnosis in domestic ruminants." During this period, he had the opportunity to visit the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Rickettsiology Department, and IN3 Diagnostics, an agency placed in Turin that develops and commercializes diagnostic kits for livestock. He completed his PhD with full marks in 2021. Currently, he has a post-doctoral position in the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of Naples and, at the same time, is a master's student in the specialization school of infectious diseases in the same department. He has published several articles in international and indexed journals, as well as participated in several national and international conferences. His expertise includes epidemiological studies in livestock (including buffalo) and virus-host cell interaction (particularly how viruses change cellular pathways).
Abdelbaset-Ismail - Profile
Dr. Abdelbaset-Ismail is an associate professor of veterinary surgery. In 2000, Dr. Abdelbaset-Ismail received Bachelor’s degree (BVSc) in Veterinary Medical Science from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Zagazig University. Dr. Abdelbaset-Ismail was consequently employed as a Teaching Assistant at the Department of Animal Surgery, Radiology, and Anesthesiology. He was employed as an Assistant Lecturer at the same department after obtaining his Master’s degree (MVSc). From 2008 to 2011, at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, he gained much experience in experimental and clinical surgery, CT imaging, and regenerative medicine using adipose-derived-mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). After he received the Ph.D., he was appointed as a Lecturer at the Department of Animal Surgery. Later on, Dr. Abdelbaset-Ismail has joined the Stem Cell Institute at James Graham Brown Cancer, University of Louisville, as a Visiting Scholar from September 2013 to March 2014, where he was then employed as a Postdoctoral Associate beginning May 2014 to 2016. Afterward, he was appointed as an associate professor of veterinary surgery in 2017. Besides, Dr. Abdelbaset-Ismail has remarkable technical skills in cell transplantation for various animal models using hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow -, cord blood-derived and adipose- SCs, and tiny embryonic-like stem cells, leukemic cells, and germline-derived cells. He also has much experience in homing, mobilization, and engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells and cancer research.

Abstract: E-coli mastitis is one of the most frequent causes of environmental mastitis in the dairy cattle worldwide. The purpose of this field study was to compare the efficacy of ceftiofur (HCL) in conjunction with supportive measures versus supportive measures alone for treatment of dairy cows affected with naturally occurring acute form of E. coli mastitis. From January 2014 to December 2016 a total number of 100 cows naturally affected by acute E-coli mastitis randomly were allocated into two groups. A milk sample from the affected quarter was collected for bacteriological tests on the first day of treatment. In group A (control), fifty cows received ceftiofur (HCL) 1mg/5kg/BW, flunixin meglumine 2.2mg/kg, calcium borogluconate 40%, 250ml and hypertonic saline (Nacl 7.2 %,) 5ml/kg. In group B (treatment, n=50), cows received the same drugs mentioned for group A, except ceftiofur (HCL) which replaced by placebo. In the group A, 41cows (82%) and in the group B, 2 cows (4%) were survived respectively. The rates of quarter health recovery in the groups A and B were 31.7% and 0% respectively. The differences between two groups were significant (P≤0.01). In conclusion our results indicated that treatment of cows affected with naturally occurring acute form of E. coli mastitis without application of effective antibiotic(s) such as ceftiofur (HCL) and fluid therapy almost impossible. Keywords: Dairy cow, E-coli, Mastitis, ceftiofur. |
