Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human and Bovine Tuberculosis I have quoted these experiments at length for the reason that they seem Often to be overlooked, and for the further reason that they have recently been directly misquoted. Koch said in his address before the British Con gress on Tuberculosis, If one studies the older literature of the subject, and collects the reports of the numerous experiments that were made in former times by Chauveau, Gunther and Harms, Bollinger and others, who fed calves, swine and goats with the milk and pieces of the lungs Of tuber cular cattle, we find these always fell ill Of tuberculosis, whereas those that received human material with their food did not. Bollinger in 1879 inoculated a young calf in the peritoneal cavity with material from a human lung. When killed after seven months the mesentery and peritoneal covering of the spleen presented a number of tumors from the size of a pea to that of a walnut and which microscopically were identical with those found in pearly disease under natural conditions. The retro peritoneal and mesenteric glands were tuberculous also. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Bovine Tuberculosis Classic Reprint written by C. M. Haring and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-25 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bovine Tuberculosis All species of domestic animals are susceptible to tuberculosis but the disease is more prevalent in cattle, hogs and poultry than in other farm animals. Tuberculosis is readily transmitted from one individual to another of the same species by direct or indirect contact. On the other hand, transmission between species varies because of the existence of three more or less distinct types of tubercle bacilli, the human, the bovine and the avian. In general, tuberculosis found in cattle is induced by the bovine tubercle bacillus. However, local, non-progressive lesions have been produced experimentally in cattle by the human type, and rare cases of small, limited lesions due to natural infection with this type have been found also in this species. Cases of uterine infection of cattle with avian tuberculosis have been reported in Denmark. Tuberculosis in poultry has been found' to be caused by the avian type of tubercle bacillus in 100 percent of all cases studied. Hogs contract tuberculosis easily when fed on infected milk or when run ning in fields with tuberculous cattle or poultry. The disease induced in swine by the bovine bacillus is often fatal, but infection with the avian bacillus very seldom becomes progressive in swine, the lesions being limited usually to the lymph nodes of the head and neck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Bovine Tuberculosis In countries where there has been little or no importation Of cattle, and in which the native breeds still exist unchanged, as in many parts Of Russia, Austria and Spain, in the northern part Of Sweden and Norway, and in parts Of Africa, tuberculosis is practically unknown. This is true Of the cattle on the island of Jersey, where for more than a hundred years foreign cattle have not been introduced. In the United Stat-es the disease is very widely distributed. There are, however, large areas in which it is practically unknown. The Western steers that are killed in the slaughter houses of Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City and Chicago, are practically free from it. In other localities, especially where there is an extensive interchange Of animals, a large percentage Of the herds are more or less affected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Tuberculosis, 1903, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Magazine Devoted to the Prevention and Treatment of Tuberculosis The distinctive characteristics of bovine tuberculosis as compared with human tuberculosis consist therein, that the bovine affection appears to show a predilection for serous membranes while human tubercle seems to have its seat preferably in the parenchyma of organs, and that bovine tubercles are not usually found as small miliary or submiliary nodules but form nodules of larger size which are pedunculated and are often attached to connective tissue strands upon which they are arranged as are pearls upon a string, a characteristic which led to the designation of pearl disease. To these differences must be added the much greater ten deney to calcification of bovine tubercle, a dissimilarity which is, how ever, not histologic, but is caused by the greater amount of lime salts in the food of cattle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shattuck Lecture: The Past, Present and Future of Tuberculosis I. As already stated, it is in prophylaxis especially that we have gained by Koch's discovery. A few words must therefore be said on the mode of infection. The seed is the bacillus of tuberculosis; it is virtually omnipresent in civilized and settled communities; it succumbs readily to sunshine. How long it may retain its vitality in houses, fabrics, etc., we do not know, perhaps not as long as is often and by many believed. Theobald Smith tells me he cannot keep a culture alive more than three months even under conditions most favorable to the longevity of the organism. To his published work and ready kindness in imparting his knowledge I may here express my indebted ness. We are all his debtors. The bacilli of human and bovine tuberculosis are separate organisms today even if they may have had long ago a common ancestor. The bo vine form occurs practically only in young children, is rare in them, and the risk of its communication from cattle to man is very small unless the udder is tubercnlar. Under no other condition can a sufficient number of bacilli gain entrance to the milk to prove harmful. The meat is safe as food. It is therefore irrational, unlimited funds not being at our disposal, to kill all cattle, otherwise well, which re act to tuberculin. Much less money intelligently spent in dairy inspection, enforcing cleanliness, detecting and elim inating emaciated and sick cows, will serve all necessary prophylactic purposes.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Tuberculoses, and Their Relation to Human Tuberculosis Although all tuberculous lesions acknowledge the presence of the causal agent - the bacillus of Koch nothing is more variable than their appearance. Some times they take the form of rounded granulations, hardly as big as a millet-seed, invading all the organs. Some times they are great fluctuating masses, filled with yellow pus, which is thick, grumous, full of calcareous grains, and resembles mortar. Sometimes the pleura or peri toneum are covered with hard, glistening, grayish-red, rounded new growths, with more or less long pedicles, and generally heaped together in clusters of variable size, so as to form genuine polypi, which sometime attain considerable dimensions. Sometimes, again, the lesion consists of an opaque grayish or yellowish matter infil trating the tissues.

Download or read book One Health The Human Animal Environment Interfaces in Emerging Infectious Diseases written by John S. Mackenzie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Health is an emerging concept that aims to bring together human, animal, and environmental health. Achieving harmonized approaches for disease detection and prevention is difficult because traditional boundaries of medical and veterinary practice must be crossed. In the 19th and early 20th centuries this was not the case—then researchers like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch and physicians like William Osler and Rudolph Virchow crossed the boundaries between animal and human health. More recently Calvin Schwabe revised the concept of One Medicine. This was critical for the advancement of the field of epidemiology, especially as applied to zoonotic diseases. The future of One Health is at a crossroads with a need to more clearly define its boundaries and demonstrate its benefits. Interestingly the greatest acceptance of One Health is seen in the developing world where it is having significant impacts on control of infectious diseases.

Download or read book Tuberculosis and War written by J.F. Murray and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis (TB) remains the largest cause of adult deaths from any single infectious disease, and ranks among the top 10 causes of death worldwide. When TB and war occur simultaneously, the inevitable consequences are disease, human misery, suffering, and heightened mortality. TB is, therefore, one of the most frequent and deadly diseases to complicate the special circumstances of warfare. Written by internationally acclaimed experts, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the status of TB before, during and after WWII in the 25 belligerent countries that were chiefly involved. It summarizes the history of TB up to the present day. A special chapter on “Nazi Medicine, Tuberculosis and Genocide” examines the horrendous, inhuman Nazi ideology, which during WWII used TB as a justification for murder, and targeted the disease by eradicating millions who were afflicted by it. The final chapter summarizes the lessons learned from WWII and more recent wars and recommends anti-TB measures for future conflicts. This publication is not only of interest to TB specialists and pulmonologists but also to those interested in public health, infectious diseases, war-related issues and the history of medicine. It should also appeal to nonmedical readers like journalists and politicians.
