Herd-level prevalence of selected endemic infectious diseases of dairy cows in Great Britain [PDF]
To implement appropriate and effective disease control programs at the national level, up-to-date and unbiased information on disease frequency is needed. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of selected endemic infectious diseases in the

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a recognised gastrointestinal disorder. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is implicated in IBD pathogenesis. Persistent exposure and active infections by MAP may contribute to the unsilencing of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV ...

Complex responses to movement-based disease control: when livestock trading helps [PDF]
Livestock disease controls are often linked to movements between farms, for example, via quarantine and pre- or post-movement testing. Designing effective controls, therefore, benefits from accurate assessment of herd-to-herd transmission.

The suboptimal accuracy of current diagnostic tests necessitates alternative testing strategies to improve the detection of Johne's disease. We studied parallel and serial testing strategies to quantify the association between milk production and Johne's disease status. For this, two commercial Johne's disease Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISAs,
