					<description><![CDATA[Kun mato on tarttunut: matolääkitys vai ulosteen tutkimus koirilla ja kissoilla Jokainen koira ja kissa on alttiina matoinfektiolle.

Keski-Euroopassa merkittävimpiä suolistoloisia ovat erityisesti <strong>suolinkaiset, koukkumadot ja heisimadot</strong>. Osa niistä kulkeutuu suolistosta kehon muihin elimiin. Lisäksi keuhkomatoilla on yhä merkittävämpi rooli.</p><p>Tartunta tapahtuu yleensä<strong> ulosteiden, ruohon ja saaliseläinten</strong>, kuten hiirien tai lintujen,<strong> nauttimisen</strong> kautta sekä<strong> välittäjäisäntien, kuten kirppujen,</strong> välityksellä. Siksi matoinfektion <strong>riski</strong> vaihtelee suuresti <strong>yksilöittäin</strong>. Vaikka jotkut eläimet eivät juuri koskaan saa tartuntaa, toiset taas saavat uusia matojen munia lähes päivittäin. Tämä riippuu muun muassa iästä, elämäntavoista ja ruokinnasta.</p><p>ESCCAP – eurooppalainen riippumaton järjestö, joka laatii ohjeita loisten torjunnasta – suosittelee siksi riskilähtöistä lähestymistapaa. Elämäntavoista riippuen koirille ja kissoille tulisi joko <strong>antaa matolääkettä</strong> yksilöllisesti määritellyin väliajoin tai seurata niiden terveyttä <strong>ulosteenäytteiden </strong>avulla samoilla <strong>väliajoilla </strong>. Tavoitteena on vähentää tarttuvien matojen munien erittymistä ja siten suojella eläinten ja ihmisten terveyttä. Jotkut mato-lajit ovat <strong>zoonoosien aiheuttajia</strong>, mikä tarkoittaa, että ne voivat tarttua eläimestä ihmiseen. Erityisen vaarassa ovat lapset ja immuunipuutteiset henkilöt.</p><p>Rutiininomaisen matolääkityksen sijaan voidaan myös tutkia ulostenäyte. Tällä tavalla voidaan kohdennetusti selvittää, onko eläin matojen tartuttama. Näin voidaan välttää tarpeettomia lääkeannoksia. <strong>Munanpoisto ei</strong> kuitenkaan <strong>tapahdu jatkuvasti</strong>, joten jopa kolmen päivän aikana kerätyssä ulostenäytteessä lievää tartuntaa ei aina voida havaita. Negatiivinen tulos ei siis aina sulje matoinfektiota varmasti pois.</p><p>Keskustelkaa eläinlääkärinne kanssa siitä, kuinka pitkän ajan kuluttua ja millä tavalla ulosteenäyte tulisi ottaa, sekä matolääkityksestä. Lisätietoja löytyy myös esitteestämme ”Rat & Tat: Onko siinä vikaa?”.</p></div>						</div>

<p>A genetic variant in the thyroperoxidase gene causes primary congenital hypothyroidism in cats. Affected cats show dysproportional dwarfism.</p>
<p>In some cats the growth retardation is obvious, while in others it is less noticeable. Other signs may include goiter with bilateral enlargement of both lobes of the thyroid gland, mental sluggishness, constipation and delayed tooth eruption. Serum total T4 concentrations are in a low to low-normal range, while TSH concentrations are abnormally high. Congenital hypothyroidism is usually diagnosed at a young age. Supplementation with L-T4 leads to a clinical improvement as well as to an increase in serum T4 and a decrease in TSH concentrations.</p>
<p>Are you interested in the genetic make-up of your cat? Congenital hypothyroidism is now also included in the comprehensive LABOGenetics XXL Cat combination. Over 50 genetic variants are being studied here. You will receive information on hereditary diseases, genetic risk factors, coat colours and coat characteristics. The determination of the genetic blood group is, of course, also included. LABOGenetics XXL Cat is available for cats of all breeds and mixes.</p>

							<h2>New Study on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Published</h2>
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<p>Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in cats and leads to reduced resilience. The diagnosis is made by means of an ultrasound examination (echocardiography), which can be supported by a genetic test. Clinical symptoms can appear as early as 3 months of age, the average age of onset is around 6.5 years.</p>
<p>The first sign of HCM is a thickening of the wall (concentric hypertrophy) of the left ventricle. Other parts of the heart can also be altered, e.g. the papillary muscles and the left heart valve (mitral valve). Eventually, the left ventricle becomes enlarged.</p>
<p>In a new study by Boeykens et al. In 2024, the six known genetic variants from four different genes associated with HCM in domestic cats were investigated. The genetic variants are divided into 5 categories: pathogenic, probably pathogenic, unknown significance, probably benign and benign. For clinical diagnostics and for use as a genetic test, it is recommended that only variants from the first two categories are used. The study took into account screening results from more than 10,000 cats.</p>
<p>The MYBPC3:c.91G > C [A31P] variant occurs mainly in the Maine Coon, while it occurs randomly in other breeds and may have become rarer through selection. Labogen offers this variant as the HCM1 test.</p>
<p>The MYBPC3:c.2453C > T [R818W] variant was only found in Ragdoll cats or in breeds where crossbreeding with Ragdolls could have been part of the breeding development. This test is also offered by Labogen and is known as HCM3.</p>
<p>No evidence of causation of the disease was found for the other variants in the study, which speaks against screening for these variants.</p>
<p>Labogen offers an additional HCM variant in the Sphynx for testing, which was recently published (ALMS1:c.7384G > C [G2462R]). Although the aforementioned study could not confirm the link to HCM, the original publication linked mutations in this gene to the development of Alstrom syndrome, a familial multisystem disorder that can include (dilated, restrictive) cardiomyopathy. The variant alters the protein structure, which can be associated with HCM.</p>

							<h2>LABOGenetics XXL Cat</h2>
<p>With our new LABOGenetics XXL cat package, we are now offering you a comprehensive test package with over 50 tested variants. You will receive information on hereditary diseases, genetic risk factors, coat colors and coat characteristics. Of course, your pet’s genetic blood group is also included in our XXL package.</p>
<p>LABOGenetics XXL cat is suitable for all domestic cats, for pedigree cats of all breeds and for mixes. This offer includes all available LABOGEN cat packages in just one single package, and also offers many other tests that were previously only available as individual tests. If you want comprehensive insights into the genetic background of your cat, then our LABOGenetics XXL cat for only €98 is just the thing for you!</p>
<p>We recommend having the test carried out on a blood sample. Alternatively, you can request our specially optimized jaw swabs.</p>
