Meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) is an umbrella term for a variety of subtypes of meningoencephalitis of dogs and cats with no identifiable infectious agent. In dogs, granulomatous meningoencephalitis (GME), necrotizing meningoencephalitis (NME), and necrotizing leukoencephalitis (NLE)...

The main hypothesis for the aetiology of meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) in dogs is an autoimmune or genetic cause that is associated with a triggering event (environmental factors/infectious agents). The aim of this ambispective cohort study was to test for Leishmania infantum...

Parotid gland tumours are rare in dogs. In this report, a 7-year-old, female, spayed bearded collie was presented for a subacute onset of neurological signs. A meningoencephalitis of unknown origin affecting the cerebellum diagnosed 10 months before had successfully been treated with prednisolone...

Canine non-infectious inflammatory meningoencephalomyelitis is termed meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown origin (MUO) and may affect dogs of every breed at any age. Treatment with immunosuppressive medication, the survival time based on MRI, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings has been widely...

Meningoencephalitis or meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown origin (MUO) is a common inflammatory CNS disease in dogs of non-infectious origin. MUO has assumed to have an autoimmune pathogenesis, and it seems to involve aberrant immune responses directed against CNS constituents. MUO includes...

Meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) describes a group of meningoencephalitides in dogs with a hitherto unknown trigger. An infectious agent has been suggested as one possible trigger of MUO but has not been proven so far. A relatively new method to screen for viral RNA or DNA is...
