Serological Evidence and Coexposure of Selected Infections among Livestock Slaughtered at Eastern Cape Abattoirs in South Africa

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Zoonotic infections were investigated in a cross‐sectional study on asymptomatic livestock slaughtered in abattoirs in the Eastern Cape. Antibodies against Brucella spp., Coxiella burnetii, Toxoplasma gondii, and the coexposure were investigated in sera using serological tests.

Development of a real‐time PCR assay for detection and differentiation of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and a novel respiratory‐associated Mycoplasma species in domestic sheep and goats

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e1460-e1468, September 2022., 2022
Abstract A novel respiratory‐associated Mycoplasma species (M. sp. nov.) of unknown clinical significance was recently identified that causes false positive results with multiple published PCR methods reported to specifically detect Mycoplasma ovipneumonaie, a well‐known respiratory pathogen in small ruminants.

Characterization of Brucella spp. and other abortigenic pathogens from aborted tissues of cattle and goats in Rwanda

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1655-1663, July 2022., 2022
This is the first identification of abortion‐associated pathogens (B. abortus, B. melitensis, C. fetus, and Leptospira spp.) in aborted cattle samples in Rwanda indicating the enormous financial losses to cattle owners and a threat to public health. It is therefore essential to include these identified pathogens in the surveillance scheme of veterinary

Epidemiologic case investigation on the zoonotic transmission of Staphylococcus aureus infection from goat to veterinarians

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 684-690, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus infection led to a case of goat abortion, and four veterinarians contracted S. aureus infection from the goat during and after the abortion. Three veterinarians assisted a doe during the dystocic delivery of a dead foetus.

Polymorphic outer-membrane proteins of Chlamydophila abortus are glycosylated [PDF]

Microbiology, 2001
Antigenic profiles of mono-, bi- and poly-specific monoclonal antibodies against 90 kDa polymorphic outer-membrane proteins (POMPs) and a 105 kDa POMP-related protein of Chlamydophila abortus ATCC VR 656(T), after one- and two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis, helped identify each one of the triplets POMP 90, 91A and 91B, and a POMP-related protein

Seroprevalence of Seven Reproductive Diseases in Beef and Dairy Cows from Three Provinces in Indonesia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Bovine reproductive diseases are endemic in Indonesia, but comprehensive information about their infectious causes is not available. Therefore, our aim for this study was to detect several infectious agents that cause reproductive diseases in Indonesian beef and dairy cows. A total of 152 cow serum samples collected by Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of
