Abstract An 11‐week‐old Holstein Friesian heifer calf presented with a congenital nasal abnormality characterised by an additional, turbinate‐like structure located dorsally on the nasal bridge. Clinical examination of the calf revealed normal respiratory function, with the accessory structure producing mucoid discharge from blind‐ended cavities ...

Hsp90 Chaperones Bluetongue Virus Proteins and Prevents Proteasomal Degradation
Protein chaperones are instrumental for maintaining protein homeostasis, enabling correct protein folding and organization; prominent members include heat shock proteins 70 and 90. Virus infections place a large burden on this homeostasis.

A CACNA2D2‐Related Recessive Form of Cerebellar Abiotrophy in Angus Cattle
ABSTRACT Cerebellar disease in ruminants is often virus‐induced and non‐genetic, but there are also rare inherited forms of cerebellar hypoplasia and cerebellar abiotrophy (CA). So far, no causal variant has been reported for these conditions in cattle. Two inbred Angus calves suspected of having cerebellar disease were reported in Scotland.

The nonstructural protein NSs of Schmallenberg virus is targeted to the nucleolus and induces nucleolar disorganization [PDF]
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) was discovered in Germany in late 2011 and then spread rapidly to many European countries. SBV is an orthobunyavirus that causes abortion and congenital abnormalities in ruminants.

Genetic Diversity in Dutch Sheep Breeds
ABSTRACT The Netherlands has a rich variety of native sheep breeds, most of them at risk or endangered. We studied the distinctiveness of these breeds, their genetic diversity within and between breeds, and how this diversity is shaped by geography, purpose, history and genetic management practices.

To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

The Culicoides of the subgenus Avaritia (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the Palaearctic region: through unsuspected diversity with epidemiologic implications [PDF]
The biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are known vectors of pathogens especially Orbivirus of the Reoviridae family such as bluetongue, african horse sickness, epizootic hemorrhagic disease and more recently Schmallenberg ...

Bluetongue: control, surveillance and safe movement of animals
The performance of different bluetongue control measures related to both vaccination and protection from bluetongue virus (BTV) vectors was assessed. By means of a mathematical model, it was concluded that when vaccination is applied on 95% of animals ...
