1. Antibodies to the CP24 protein of Brucella melitensis lack diagnostic usefulness in ovine brucellosis

Author:
Delpino, M.Victoria; Cassataro, Juliana; Fossati, Carlos A.; Baldi, Pablo C.

Veterinary microbiology 2003 v.93 no.2 pp. 101-107
ISSN:

Subject:
Brucella melitensis; antibodies; antigens; brucellosis; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; ewes; flocks; immunoglobulin G; lambs; lipopolysaccharides; ribosomes; United Kingdom
Abstract:
... The potential diagnostic usefulness of antibodies to the ribosome recycling factor of Brucella melitensis (CP24) was assessed in sheep by an indirect ELISA with purified recombinant CP24. Sera from uninfected animals from the UK (n=44) and from local flocks (n=42), from sheep naturally infected with B. melitensis (n=12) or B. ovis (n=12), and from lambs (n=7) or pregnant ewes (n=6) vaccinated with ...

Subject:
Brachyspira pilosicoli; DNA; diarrhea; electrophoresis; feces; genes; humans; pets; polymerase chain reaction; puppies; ribosomal RNA; Western Australia
Abstract:
... Anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira are known to colonise dogs, but relatively little is known about their prevalence, distribution or pathogenic potential. One species, Brachyspira pilosicoli, is thought to cause diarrhoea in dogs, as well as in other animals and humans. To investigate the prevalence and distribution of infection, faecal samples from 49 puppies from six pet ...

Subject:
Nyctereutes procyonoides; cats; cattle; dogs; foxes; humans; rabies; surveys; wild animals; wildlife; Lithuania
Abstract:
... The epidemiological situation of rabies was investigated in Lithuania. Over the last decade, 2277 cases of rabies were registered among wild and domestic animals (mean number of cases per districts was 44). The highest distribution of rabies was found in the districts of Lazdijai and Utena (116 and 81 cases, respectively), and the lowest in the Svencioniai and Zarasai districts (one and eight case ...

Subject:
chickens; on-farm research; weanlings; ducks; cohort studies; DNA; farms; herds; polymerase chain reaction; confidence interval; feces; pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; sows; Brachyspira pilosicoli
Abstract:
... The epidemiology of infection with the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli within pig herds is incompletely understood. To investigate this further, cross-sectional and cohort studies were undertaken on two piggeries. Faeces were subjected to selective culture, and DNA was extracted from growth on the primary media and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). On one farm, samples fr ...

Abstract:
... The objective of the present study was to characterize the phenotypic and molecular aspects of Campylobacter fetus strains isolated from bovine herds with reproductive problems. Thirty-one Brazilian field isolates, together with one reference strain of each subspecies of C. fetus, were analyzed. The strains were submitted to phenotypic identification followed by subspecies characterization using t ...

6. Comparison of intestinal mucosa homogenate and pure culture of the homologous Lawsonia intracellularis isolate in reproducing proliferative enteropathy in swine

Subject:
Lawsonia intracellularis; digestive system diseases; growth performance; inoculum; intestinal mucosa; reproduction; swine
Abstract:
... Little information is available on reproduction of proliferative enteropathy (PE) using a virulent pure culture of Lawsonia intracellularis. Reproduction of the disease using PE-diseased mucosa homogenates, however, is well-characterized. The aims of this study were to evaluate and compare clinical signs, growth performance and the severity of lesions in pigs inoculated with intestinal mucosa homo ...

Abstract:
... A survey was conducted to examine the distribution of Arcobacter species among livestock in Japan. During May 1999 and May 2000, fecal samples from cattle (n=332) and swine (n=250), chicken cloacal swabs (n=234), and vaginal swabs of cattle (n=61) and swine (n=15) were submitted for the isolation of Arcobacter species. Arcobacter species were isolated from 3.6 and 10.0% of the cattle and swine fec ...

Abstract:
... A strain of Pasteurella trehalosi serotype 10, ECO-100, isolated from a bighorn sheep that had succumbed to pneumonic pasteurellosis during an epizootic, was compared to well-characterized strains of P. trehalosi serotype 10 and Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1. The gene for leukotoxin A (lktA) from ECO-100 was sequenced and found to be identical on an amino acid basis to a published sequence for ...
