Helminth infections: Domestic ruminants: Introduction

Heartwater in hosts other than domestic ruminants.

The literature is surveyed and an attempt is made to divide the various species described into susceptible and refractory hosts. The reasons for the numerous apparently conflicting reports are considered and it is suggested that those making further inquiries in this field of wo...

Comparison of microscopy and blood-PCR for the diagnosis of clinical Johne’s disease in domestic ruminants

Microscopy as “field based test” was compared with IS900 blood PCR for the diagnosis and estimationof prevalence of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in domestic livestock withclinical Johne’s disease (JD). Of 252 animals screened, 39.3 and 13.1% were positive by faecal microscopyand blood PCR, respectively. Proportional agreement between “microscopy” and blood PCR was subst...
