Descriptive analysis of ovine mortality in sentinel sheep flocks in Ireland

Veterinary Record, Volume 184, Issue 21, Page 649-649, May 2019., 2019
Background Studies of sheep mortality or cause‐specific mortality, in Ireland or internationally, are relatively scarce but are important in presenting baseline levels and changing trends of endemic disease. This study assessed sheep mortality and cause‐specific mortality in 33 sentinel sheep flocks in Ireland. Methods Sentinel flocks were requested to

Prevalence of Chlamydophila abortus Infection in Domesticated Ruminants in Taiwan.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2001
This study is to (1) investigate the prevalence of Chlamydophila abortus infection in cows and goats in Taiwan, and (2) compare the genetic properties of Taiwanese isolates with abortion strains from other sources. Approximately 71% of aborted cows and 58% of aborted does had IgG against C. abortus in their sera.

Infectious keratoconjunctivitis and occurrence of Mycoplasma conjunctivae and Chlamydiaceae in small domestic ruminants from Central Karakoram, Pakistan

Veterinary Record, Volume 181, Issue 9, Page 237-237, September 2017., 2017
Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) is a contagious eye disease primarily caused by Mycoplasma conjunctivae in domestic and wild Caprinae. Chlamydophila species have also been detected in ruminants with IKC. The objectives of this study are to investigate the ocular infection of M. conjunctivae and Chlamydiaceae and assess its interaction in relation

Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria. [PDF]

, 2017
Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydia abortus and Leptospira spp. are difficult to grow bacteria that play a role in bovine abortion, but their diagnosis is hampered by their obligate intracellular lifestyle (C. burnetii, C. abortus) or their lability (Leptospira

Identifying veterinary surgeons’ barriers to, and potential solutions for, improving antimicrobial stewardship among sheep farmers in Northern Ireland

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2024.
Abstract Background In order to improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), including changes in antimicrobial prescribing and use, an enhanced understanding is needed of the barriers that veterinary surgeons (vets) encounter to institute such change. Methods A qualitative approach, using grounded theory, was followed.

Wildlife hosts for OIE‐Listed diseases: considerations regarding global wildlife trade and host–pathogen relationships

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 71-81, May 2017., 2017
The expanding international wildlife trade, combined with a lack of surveillance for key animal diseases in most countries, represents a potential pathway for transboundary disease movement. We reviewed peer‐reviewed literature for reports of 73 OIE‐Listed terrestrial animal diseases in wild animals and found 528 possible wild animal hosts using our ...
