  • Primary renal cell tumors were described in four nonhuman primates (Erythrocebus patas, Macaca cyclopis, Mandrillus sphinx, and Macaca fascicularis) that have been kept for exhibition at Seoul Zoo. Histologically, all of them were renal adenoma. Each one was clear cell type and tubular type, respectively. The rest two were papillary type adenoma. Clear cell type adenoma was bilaterally affected.

  • An eight years old female barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia), which bred at the Gwangju Uchi Park Zoo had shown anorexia, depression, respiratory problem for several weeks after parturition. In necropsy, extensive necrotizing pneumonia was found with severe immunocytes infiltration in the alveolar spaces and bronchioles. Pulmonary pleura were thickened with fibrin and inflammatory cells. Bacteria were isolated from lung and identified as Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (SEZ) by biochemical tests and PCR on sodA and gusA genes, though seel gene was not detected. Isolation of zoonotic SEZ in public place such as a zoo should be emphasized for the public health mangagement.

  • Intestinal rupture caused by small bowel volvulus was diagnosed in a captive 13-year-old male American black bear. The animal presented with decreased appetite, depression, lethargy, and mild abdominal distention for 3 days. The animal was treated with antibiotics, hypermetabolites, and digestive medicine daily; however, it died on the third day of treatment. The clinical symptoms included hemorrhagic ascites, gaseous extension of the small intestine, and intestinal rupture caused by small bowel volvulus. Hemorrhagic signs were observed in the lungs and heart. This is the first case to describe small bowel volvulus in mammals of the family Ursidae.

  • A mass of the adrenal gland was observed during a routine necropsy of a female 23-year-old Asian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) at Seoul Zoo in Gyeonggi Province, Korea. The animal showed no clinical signs but the necropsy examination revealed hydropericardium, ascites, hydrothorax and edema of the intestinal wall, lung and adrenal gland. Histopathologically, the neoplastic cells of the right adrenal gland were arranged in lobules supported by a fine fibrovascular stroma. The neoplastic cells had round hyperchromatic nuclei and granular eosinophilic to basophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for chromogranin A and S-100 and negative for vimentin, synaptophysin and cytokeratin. Based on the above findings, this case was diagnosed as a pheochromocytoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a pheochromocytoma in an Asian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

  • A female reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), 20-month-old, 342 kg, died at Seoul Zoo on January 2, 2009 after a stressful episode of chronic diarrhea. Given the appearances postmortem, it was strongly suspected that the giraffe suffered from malnutrition for a long time. Typical appearances of serous fat atrophy were shown on most fat tissues of body organs such as heart, bone, liver, mesentery and kidney. In this study, the sudden death that had been known as "peracute mortality syndrome" was clearly identified to have resulted from a lack of understanding the Browser's diet and general failure in giraffe husbandry. Individualized care and high quality hay must be provided to compensate higher consumption of metabolic energy and to prevent animal loss in winter season.

  • A-SMGCS 시스템은 HMI 단말 노드, 외부 시스템 연계 노드, 운영 데이터베이스 노드, 서버 노드 등 여러 노드로 구성되어져 있으며 이 노드들이 협업하여 운영자에게 원활한 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 최소한의 공유 데이터가 서로 동기화되고 변경 발생 시 해당 노드에 자동으로 통지될 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는A-SMGCS 시스템 운영에 필요한 최소한의 공유 데이터 동기화 및 변경 통지 기능 제공을 위해 협업 미들웨어인 ZooKeeper를 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해 클러스터를 구성하는 복수개의 ZooKeeper에 공유 데이터를 계층적으로 저장하고 특정 데이터에 변경이 발생할 시 자동으로 A-SMGCS 시스템 노드들에 통지가 됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 기능은 A-SMGCS 시스템뿐만 아니라 시스템 노드 간 신뢰성 있는 공유 데이터 실시간 동기가 필요한 다양한 시스템에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다.

  • Eighty-seven strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from feces of wild mammals in Choniu zoo were tested for their biochemical reaction and susceptibility to 19 antibiotics or chemicals by using disc diffusion test and/or Microscan Walkway 40/96. Out of 87 isolates, Enterobacteriaceae (44), Hafinia alvei (9), Citrobacterfreundi (5) and Proteus vulgaris (5) were frequently detected. The detective frequency of Enterobacteriaceae in animals classified by their eating pattern was higher in carnivorous and omnivorous than in herbivorous animal. In antibiotic susceptibility tests most of isolates were susceptible to cefazolinl ceftazidime, aztreoname, trimethoprin/sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, cofuroximel ceftriaxone, cefotaxime and eftizoximel and moderately susceptible to cephalotin and ticarcillin but resistant to ticarcillin/K and amikacin.

  • A three years old male Jackass penguin(Spheniscus demersus) showed anorexia, depression, respiratory problem for a few days, followed by clinical treatment for 20 days resulted in death. Grossly, multiple white nodules measuring 2~3 mm in diameter were observed in the surface of and inside lung, liver, kidney, thoracic wall. Microscopically, granuloma formations were observed in the lung and liver. The margin of granuloma surrounded by connective tissue barrier and infiltrated lymphocytes, and also observed giant cell near the granuloma. By Periodic acid Schiff reaction, hyphae were detected in granuloma of lung and liver. This case was a chronic and systemic aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus infection in a Jackass penguin at a zoo.
