English to Spanish: Ruminal tympany in cattle (bloat) General field: Medical Detailed field: Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Source text - English Bloat occurs in two forms.
Free-gas bloat results from failure to
eructate due to a functional or physical blockage of the oesophagus
or the sudden ingestion of an excessive quantity of highly fermentable
material.
In frothy bloat the gas accumulates as a “froth” of very small
bubbles as a consequence of the protein content of the diet.
Translation - Spanish Existen dos tipos de timpanismo.
El timpanismo gaseoso, que se produce por la incapacidad del animal para eructar debido a un bloqueo físico o funcional del esófago o por la ingestión muy rápida de una cantidad excesiva de alimento fácilmente fermentable.
El timpanismo espumoso, que se produce por la ingestión de una cantidad de proteínas demasiado alta en la dieta, lo que hace que pequeñas burbujas de gas se acumulen en forma de espuma.
French to Spanish: La dirofilariose cardio-pulmonaire General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - French La dirofilariose cardio-pulmonaire est une nématodose due à la présence dans les artères pulmonaires et le cœur droit de filaires appartenant à l’espèce Dirofilaria immitis. La dirofilariose cardiaque est régulièrement rapportée chez les Canidés (le chien principalement) mais elle est aussi observée chez d’autres carnivores (chat, furet), plus rarement chez l’Homme. Le nématode Dirofilaria immitis est transmis par des moustiques.
La dirofilariose cardio-pulmonaire a une très grande importance compte tenu du pouvoir pathogène de Dirofilaria immitis pour les carnivores domestiques, de l’étendue de sa zone de répartition et du risque de zoonose.
Translation - Spanish La dirofilariosis cardiopulmonar es una nematodosis producida por la presencia de filarias de la especie Dirofilaria immitis en las arterias pulmonares y el corazón derecho. Aunque es una parasitosis relativamente frecuente en cánidos (fundamentalmente, en perros), también puede darse en otros carnívoros (gatos, hurones) y, de manera excepcional, en personas. El nematodo Dirofilaria immitis es transmitido por mosquitos y la parasitosis cardiopulmonar que provoca tiene gran importancia, por tres motivos: por el poder patógeno que tiene Dirofilaria immitis para los carnívoros domésticos, por su creciente área de distribución y por el potencial riesgo de zoonosis.
English to Spanish: Importance of life cycles in parasite control General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English The life cycles of parasites are dynamic, the foundation and biology of each may not change, but with our traveling society and changing climate, new hosts are being discovered regularly and we are finding parasites in new and unexpected places around the world. Life cycles inform us about who can become infected or infested with a parasite and where those parasites are located in that host, therefore giving an idea regarding disease presentation and diagnosis. Life cycles can let clinicians know when to treat and how, and the means of transmission can help determine ways to prevent new or reinfections, along with environmental control to help prevent spread to new hosts, especially with zoonotic pathogens.
Translation - Spanish Los ciclos biológicos de los parásitos son dinámicos. Aunque el establecimiento y la biología de los parásitos no varíe, la sociedad actual cada vez más móvil y el cambio climático favorecen la aparición de nuevos hospedadores y la detección de especies parasitarias en nuevos e inesperados lugares de la geografía mundial. El conocimiento de los ciclos permite identificar a los hospedadores que pueden infectarse o infestarse con un parásito concreto, así como su localización en el organismo. Esto permite orientar tanto el cuadro clínico como el diagnóstico. También ayudan a que los veterinarios sepan cuándo y cómo aplicar el tratamiento. Asimismo, el conocimiento de los mecanismos de transmisión previene tanto las reinfestaciones como las nuevas infestaciones y controla la diseminación del parásito a nuevos hospedadores, especialmente en el caso de patógenos con potencial zoonótico.
