Contagious agalactia (CA) is a serious disease syndrome of sheep and goats that is characterized by mastitis, arthritis, keratoconjunctivitis and, occasionally, abortion. Mycoplasma (M.) agalactiae is the main cause of the disease in sheep and goats. The aim of the present study was to detect M. agalactiae in conjunctival, synovial fluid, nasal, ear and milk samples in sheep herds with or witho...

The name Electric Sheep comes from Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the Internet. Electric Sheep is a distributed screen-saver that harnesses idle computers into a render farm with the purpose of animating and evolving artificial life-forms. The project is an attention vortex. It illustrates the proc...

A study was carried out at Guthichaur surrounding areas to observe rearing system management practices small ruminant. Twenty farmers from Guthichaur, with a flock size 100 350 animals were interviewed about system, practices, health problems. Sheep major livestock commodity most ra...

A study was conducted on the incidence of perinatal lamb mortality with extension up to 30 days of age (PMR 30) in West African Dwarf sheep in Ibadan, Nigeria, over a three year period. An overall PMR 30 of 19.9% was recorded. This consisted of an abortion rate of 3.0%, a still-birth rate of 2.7% and a neonatal lamb mortality rate of 15.6% up to 30 days of age (LMR). Abortion rate was significa...

Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite of animals. It is a major pathogen for cattle and dogs and it occasionally causes clinical infections in horses, goats, sheep, and deer. Domestic dogs are the only known definitive hosts for N. caninum. It is one of the most efficiently transmitted parasite of cattle and up to 90% of cattle in some herds are infected. Transplacental transmission is consi...

The history, circumstances, clinical signs, post mortem lesions, morbidity, mortality and laboratory findings are described in an abortion storm in sheep that occurred in Mpumalanga, South Africa, associated with infection with Arcobacter skirrowii. Altogether, about 200 Suffolk Down ewes lost 60 lambs in late pregnancy or at term. Although only three foetuses were submitted for investigation, ...

Abstract Background and Aims: Akabane disease causes epidemics of abortions, stillbirths and congenital malformations manifested as arthrogryposis and hydranencephaly or microanencephaly in sheep, goats and cattle. Akabane virus replicates in arthropods and is transmitted by either mosquitoes or midges. Outbreaks of the Akabane virus have been reported from many countries in Southeast Asia...

Field and collection isolates of Salmonella abortusovis carry one IS200 element in a distinct chromosome location. IS200 is not found in the corresponding region of the chromosome of other Salmonella serovars. Sequencing of the boundaries of the S. abortusovis-specific IS200 insertion permitted the design of primers for the amplification of this IS200 element by PCR. Isolates of S. abortusovis ...
