Case 2010-9CASE SUMMARY
domestic cats (most female) on a study
42/45 developed signs of spinal cord disease
(not an investigation of neurologic disease)
severity of signs varied
post mortem examinations:
(a)Institution A
(b)Cornell
Material submitted: 1. H&E section of the spinal cord

TWO QUESTIONS
1. Morphologic diagnosis – spinal cord leukomyelopathy2. The etiology involves irradiation – what was irradiated?
![Page 13: Case 2010-9 WELCOME TO A PARALLEL UNIVERSE: VETERINARY MEDICINE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dfe5503460f94ae60a6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TWO QUESTIONS
1. Morphologic diagnosis – spinal cord leukomyelopathy2. The etiology involves irradiation – what was irradiated?
The food.
This feline leukomyelopathy is caused by the consumption ofdry food that has been irradiated.

SUMMARY
Male and female cats
3 mo to 15 yr of age
Most domestic breed; few Siamese, Burmese, etc
(apparently not a common ancestry)

WHY IRRADIATE FOOD?To prevent contamination of a specific-pathogen-free environment.To reduce microbiological contamination and so prevent spoilage and increase shelf life.
WHAT DOES IRRADIATION DO?Gamma irradiation results (among other effects) in the production ofions and free radicals which can kill or damage pathogenic organismsin food. This reduces the use of fungicides, other chemicals, etc.

GAMMA IRRADIATION OF FOOD
CatRoutine: (one lab) 36.3-47.3 kGyExperimental LM: low dose 25.7-38.1 kGy
high dose 38.1-53.6 kGy
Man [40 years]Routine: 1-10 kGySome foods (eg dried herbs, spices) to 30kGy(Child et al. 2009)

“INCUBATION PERIOD OF LM”First ingestion to onset of neurologic disease
Spontaneous cases: about 4 months
2.5 – 6 months
Experimental cases: 140 – 174 days (~4.5 – 6mo)

FINAL QUESTION
Are there implications
for other species?
