The exact mechanism of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) on submandibular salivary gland (SMG) regarding its function and histology remains unclear. The goal of this work is to clarify the histological effects of BTX-A (at high doses) in SMG in rabbits after one week. Thirty adult male rabbits were used in ...

An approximately 10-year-old female spayed rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was presented with a subcutaneous mass of the ventral submandibular and cervical region. Initial culture results from fine-needle aspirates revealed Gram-positive cocci; cultures following antibiotic therapy identified ...

Aim: To determine the early-stage effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the histology of the submandibular gland. Materials and methods: The study included 30 New Zealand rabbits. They were divided into 3 groups. No drugs were administered to group 1 (control group), and 5-FU was administered for 5...

A 2-kg, 11-year-old neutered male rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was presented for examination of a mandibular swelling. On clinical examination, 2 well-defined subcutaneous masses (15 mm and 5 mm in diameter) were identified along the ventral area of the left horizontal ramus of the mandible. An...

Owing to the failure of an expensive and well-planned cattle tick eradication campaign in north eastern New South Wales a survey is being made of the native fauna of the area, some of which may act as alternative hosts. During studies on mammalian physiology a method was developed for reproducing...
