This report describes the genome sequences of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A2 isolated from pneumonic lungs of two different ruminant species, one from Ovis aries, designated ovine (O), and the other from Bos taurus, designated bovine (B).

Abstract The study has aimed to investigate and determine the anatomical position, shape, size, histological features of ductus venosus, its role as a shunt in fetal circulatory system domestic ruminants. research was conducted on 19 bovine, 11 sheep 5 goat fetuses, aborted at late stage pregnancy or deceased just after delivery. general anatomy venosus investigated by in-situ dissection corros...

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are both highly contagious diseases of small domestic and wild ruminants caused by the PPR virus (PPRV) and the FMD virus (FMDV). In this study, a recombinant PPRV expressing the FMDV VP1 gene (rPPRV/VP1) was generated and FMDV VP1 expression did not impair replication of the recombinant virus in vitro and immunogenicity in induc...

Paratuberculosis (John's disease) is infectious and chronically progressive granulomatous disease which affects domestic and wild ruminants. The causative agent is Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP), a slow growing mycobactin dependent acid-fast bacillus. We investigated the detection and frequency of MAP in apparently healthy dromedary and Bactrian camels by insertion sequence 900 (IS9...

INTRODUCTION Reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination (AI) and multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) have been technically feasible and commercially utilized in small ruminants for many years (reviewed by Betteridge 1981; Evans 1991; Salamon and Maxwell 2000). Sheep and goats are major contributors to the domestic economy of many nations, but neither AI nor MOET has bee...

Ostertagia cf. kasakhstanica, the putative minor morphotype of the polymorphic ostertagiine O. bisonis, is reported in Bison bison from South Dakota. Descriptions of the synlophe and details of other diagnostic characters useful in identification and differentiation of this minor morphotype from other ostertagiines in wild and domestic ruminants from western North America are presented. Lateral...
