BACKGROUND Listeria monocytogenes infection is most commonly recognized in ruminants, including cattle, sheep, and goats; but it is rarely diagnosed in poultry. This report describes an outbreak of L. monocytogenes in a backyard poultry flock. Also, it points out the importance of collaboration between veterinarians and public health departments and the possible implications of zoonotic disease...

Flocks are an important topic in the field of finite geometry, with many relations other objects interest. This paper is a contribution to difficult problem classifying flocks up projective equivalence. We complete classification quadratic cone PG ( 3 , q ) for ≤ 71 by showing computer that there exactly three 64 The had previously been discovered, and they linear flock, Subiaco flock Adelaide ...

This paper presents a project involving a percussionist playing on a virtual percussion. Both artistic and technical aspects of the project are developed. Especially, a method for strike recognition using the Flock of Birds is presented, as well as its use for artistic purpose.

Newcastle disease is a devasting in poultry production worldwide, thus it important to implement control measures avoid entrance of the and its spread field. In this context, aim study was design seroprevalence map based on business intelligence for avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1) broilers Valencia Community (eastern Spain). This tool consists software mapping data collection, analysis repr...

This study aimed to discern the contribution of poultry farms to the contamination of the environment with ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and therewith, potentially to the spread of these bacteria to humans and other animals. ESBL-producing E. coli were detected at all investigated laying hen farms (n = 5) and broiler farms (n = 3) in 65% (46/71) and 81% (57/70) of poultry faeces samples, resp...

Tuberculosis (TB), due to infection with Mycobacterium bovis was diagnosed in a flock of alpaca in Ireland in 2004. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to identify the risk of TB for farmed alpaca where TB is endemic, the origin of the infection, the potential for alpaca-to-alpaca transmission and appropriate control measures. The investigation focused on the alpaca flock (including ...

Managing reproduction of a dairy sheep flock without using hormones for oestrus induction and synchronisation is an alternative method that complies with agroecological principles, animal welfare public health concerns. However, shifting from conventional reproductive management to hormone-free philosophy means leaving more room individual intraflock variability in occurrence. The success estab...

We retrospectively examined the reproductive parameters of 122 breeding-age whooping cranes (Grus americana) in a reintroduced flock in central Florida from 1992 to 2007. The flock performed poorly when compared with an existing wild flock for all reproductive parameters when controlled for age. Pairs first formed in 1995, nested in 1999, and the first chick fledged in 2002. By 2007, 19 of 63 c...

The aim of this study was to design and implement a seroprevalence map based on business intelligence for low pathogenicity notifiable avian influenza (LPNAI) in broilerchickens in Comunidad Valenciana (Spain). The software mapping tool developed for this study consisted of three main phases: data collection, data analysis and data representation. To obtain the serological data, the authors ana...
