Anderson Moores update...

8/2/2024

The following post update has been received from Anderson Moores:

​
We can confirm, based on kidney analysis, another two cases for December 2023, and 10 cases for January 2024. 

Locations of confirmed cases include Surrey, Berkshire, Staffordshire, Buckinghamshire and Herefordshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and a case from London. The UK has now seen 318 confirmed cases, with 10 confirmed in 2024 so far. 

We are also thrilled to report we have recently discharged a CRGV survivor, the lovely Matilda. Sadly, two of her family members were lost to CRGV. Whilst overjoyed to get her home, our wonderful nursing team will miss her after their amazing and intensive support! 

We remain aware of other potential cases in the UK – with the numbers above considered a minimum; however, certain criteria require fulfilment to allow us to confirm a case (and add it to our map) based on a review of a patient’s history and tissue analysis. We continue to support vets with this assessment and encourage concerned colleagues to get in touch.
 
This disease is still rare, so we’re advising dog owners to remain calm but vigilant and seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions.

Unfortunately, this winter has brought further confirmed cases - eight in November and three in December (with further results pending).

Unfortunately, we have to confirm two further cases of Alabama Rot, also known as CRGV, for this season. These cases were from Milton Keynes (Buckinghamshire) and Bridgnorth (Shropshire). The UK has now seen 294 confirmed cases in total, with 4 cases in 2023. This disease is still rare, so we’re advising dog owners to remain calm but vigilant and seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions.

Unfortunately, we have to confirm three further cases of Alabama Rot, also known as CRGV. These cases were from Plymouth (Devon), near Romsey (Hampshire) and Stanford Dingley (Berkshire). The UK has now seen 292 confirmed cases in total, with 2 cases in 2023 (7 in this CRGV season). This disease is still rare, so we’re advising dog owners to remain calm but vigilant and seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions.

Research project - Gut microbiota role in CRGV

17/11/2022

0 Comments

 
The role of the gut microbiota in the pathology of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) – a shotgun metagenomic sequencing approach

Hypothesis and Purpose of Project

Does the gut microbiota play a role in the disease process of CRGV? Establishing differences in the bacterial species in the gut microbiota of dogs suffering from CRGV compared to dogs suffering from Acute Kidney Injury, and Medically healthy dogs would improve our chances of identifying bacterial species that may be responsible for CRGV, either as a direct cause or as a contributing factor.

Unfortunately, we have to confirm our first case of Alabama Rot, also known as CRGV, for this season.
 
The case was from Godstone (East Surrey).

The UK has now seen 287 confirmed cases in total, with 8 cases in 2022. This disease is still rare, so we’re advising dog owners to remain calm but vigilant and seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions.
