This book was released on 2003-08-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johne's Disease is a chronic, progressive intestinal disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) that affects primarily ruminant animals. In recent decades there has been growing concern over the lack of effective control of this disease and questions have arisen regarding the possibility that Map infection could be a cause of some cases of Crohn's disease in humans. This report presents a broad outline of the steps that should be taken to control Johne's disease, reduce the spread of Map, and minimize effects of the disease in animals. The report also describes the weaknesses of our current research agenda and provides recommendations for a new research strategy to resolve the question of whether there is a link between Johne's and Crohn's diseases.

Book excerpt: Johne's disease (paratuberculosis) afflicts cattle worldwide and causes significant economic losses. It is also prevalent in goats and sheep and has been implicated in Johne's disease in humans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bovine Medicine provides practical and comprehensive information oncattle disease and production and is a key reference for all largeanimal vets. Since the first edition was published in 1991 therehave been significant improvements in disease control andmanagement of cattle. Almost all parts of the book have beenupdated and completely rewritten. There are new chapters onsurgery, embryo transfer, artificial insemination, ethno-veterinarymedicine and biosecurity, and a new consolidating chapter on theinteraction between the animal, environment, management anddisease. The previous edition has sold all over the world, and as aresult of this a greater emphasis has been placed on conditions andtheir treatment in areas other than temperate regions. A newsection entitled "Global Variation in Cattle Practice" has beenincluded with contributors discussing bovine medicine practice intheir part of the world. All in all this is an outstanding resource for any practisingvet and an excellent reference for veterinary students.

Download or read book Diagnostic Tests for Johne s Disease in Deer written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johne's disease was initially detected in a Victorian dairy herd in 1925. Since then it has infected an estimated 20% of Victorian dairy herds and during the 1980's and 90's has become established in sheep flocks in NSW and Victoria. Johne's disease is caused by an infection of the gut by Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis, all domestic and many wild ruminant species are known to be susceptible. In 2000, deer with subclinical and clinical forms of Johne's disease were detected for the first time in Australia. National programs for the control of bovine and ovine Johne's disease have been established by the livestock industries and animal health authorities. These programs established Standard Definitions and Rules in an attempt to reduce the spread of the disease by zoning, providing market assurance programs and reducing the impact on farms by reducing the prevalence of infection. These control strategies are dependent on effective diagnostic technology. Currently the approved diagnostic test for Johne's disease in live deer is individual faecal culture. In contrast, strategies for pooled faecal culture have been developed and approved for flock diagnosis in sheep and the ELISA is used extensively in cattle. This research project developed and evaluated a modified commercial ELISA and pooled faecal culture for the detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis infection in deer. The report details the experimental development of the tests, the performance of the tests in infected and non-infected deer herds and discusses the application of the tests for detection of disease in individual animals, detection of infected herds and for market assurance program applications. Benefits from the project are directed towards increased productivity and Johne's disease control strategies concurrent with other industries.
Download or read book Diseases of Cattle in the Tropics written by Miodrag Ristic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the future increase in livestock production is expected to occur in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Cattle are the most numerous of the ruminant species in the tropics and provide the largest quantity of animal food products. More than one-third of the world's cattle are found in the tropics. Disease is the major factor which prohibits full utilization of these regions for cattle production. Various infectious and transmissible viral, rick ettsial, bacterial, and particularly protozoan and helminthic diseases, are widespread in the tropics and exert a heavy toll on the existing cattle industry there. This uncontrolled disease situation also discourages investment in cattle industries by private and government sectors. In Africa alone, it is estimated that 125 million head of cattle could be accommodated in the tropical rainbelt if the disease and other animal husbandry factors could be resolved. The potential of efficient cattle production under more favorable conditions prompted various international agencies to establish a multi million dollar International Laboratory for Research in Animal Diseases (ILRAD) in Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. In South America, principal sites for raising cattle are shifting to the savannah lands because the more fertile soils are being used for crop produc tion, however, in the savannahs also, disease remains the most powerful deterrent in implementing the cattle industry.
