SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY IN PROBOSCIDEANS
elephants; erosive arthritis; mammoths; reactive arthritis; sexually; spondyloarthropathy; transmitted disease; Veterinary Sciences
Noting the common occurrence of arthritis in contemporary elephants, a skeletal study was undertaken to assess the frequency and nature of the affliction. Spondyloarthropathy was unequivocally diagnosed in mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) and contemporary elephants on the basis of fusion of vertebral bodies with marginal syndesmophytes, zygoapophyseal joint fusion, and peripheral erosive arthritis and fusion and was easily distinguished from infectious spondylitis and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Vertebral involvement was limited in distribution, in a pattern characteristic of human psoriatic arthritis and Reiter's syndrome, also referred to as reactive arthritis. Infectious diarrhea or sexually transmitted reactive arthritis are the most likely candidates for this phenomenon, as recognized in elephants and mammoths, which affords a unique opportunity for therapeutic intervention.

NO LAUGHING MATTER - SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY AND OSTEOARTHRITIS IN HYAENIDAE
aardwolves; enthesopathy; erosive arthritis; hyaenidae; hyenas; osteoarthritis; spondyloarthropathy; Veterinary Sciences
The etiology of arthritis in Hyaenidae has been a subject of conjecture. While osteoarthritis has been considered, the observation of an erosive arthritis prompted a systematic survey of museum specimens to define its nature and frequency. Spondyloarthropathy was a common erosive arthritis present in all species of Hyaenidae. Present at twice the frequency of osteoarthritis, it is a significant health consideration.

Inflammatory arthritis in canids: Spondyloarthropathy
Canidae; disease; erosive arthritis; osteoarthritis; Pathology; reactive arthritis; rheumatoid-arthritis; sacroiliac joint; santiago rhesus macaques; spondyloarthropathy; Veterinary Sciences
Spondyloarthropathy was observed in 25 (2.8%) of 895 preserved canid museum specimens and was catalogued by species. The associated skeletal alterations in canids are indistinguishable grossly and physiologically from those in humans with spondyloarthropathy of the reactive type. Rate of affliction was independent of captive or wild-caught status or gender. In canids, spondyloarthropathy was much more common than osteoarthritis (0.3%), which predominantly is limited to captive animals. Animal well-being may be enhanced by recognition of the condition and initiation of specific treatment.

ARTHRITIS OF THE SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY VARIETY IN CALLITHRIX-JACCHUS
defleshed bones; erosive arthritis; primate; reactive arthritis; rheumatoid-arthritis; skeletal pathology; spondyloarthropathy; Veterinary Sciences; Zoology
Sixty skeletons of Callithrix jacchus were examined to identify spondy-loarthropathy. Erosive disease in Callithrix was confirmed as spondy-loarthropathy on the basis of diagnostic sacroiliac erosions, syndesmophyte formation, and the nature and distribution of the peripheral joint erosions

PARAVERTEBRALMASSES IN BLUE-TAILED MONITOR, VARANUS DORIANUS, INDICATIVE OF SOFT-TISSUE INFECTION WITH ASSOCIATED OSTEOMYELITIS

Paravertebral osseous masses in reptiles have been attributed to Paget's disease on the basis of histology. Histologically recognized mosaic architecture and cement lines, however, lack specificity. A Varanus dorianus with this condition was subjected to standard and computerized tomography. Because the masses were extraskeletal in nature, Paget's disease could be excluded. Although interpretation of the computed tomography suggested the process to be entirely extraskeletal, standard radiographs revealed disorganized vertebral architecture characteristic of osteomyelitis, crossing intervertebral spaces. Posttraumatic myositis ossificans and calcified hematoma were confidently excluded as diagnoses. The etiology of paraspinal masses in this V. dorianus appears attributable to infection, with infection of a puncture wound hypothesized as the underlying process. If one extrapolates the findings in this one animal, it seems reasonable to suggest that consideration be given to investigating the possibility of an infectious origin when similar masses are recognized in other reptiles.
