Download or read book Sheep Veterinary Practice written by Kym A. Abbott and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The value of this book cannot be overstated. As a student, many years ago, there were no comprehensive textbooks on sheep medicine, so I was lucky to have Professor Kym A Abbott as an inspiring lecturer. This book is needed by students!” Following on from Professor Abbott's first book, The Practice of Sheep Veterinary Medicine, this new text remains the ideal reference for veterinarians in farm animal practice, veterinary and animal science students, agriculturalists and sheep producers. Principally addressing sheep health, welfare and production matters in Australia, this book also covers issues that are of relevance in many other countries of the world where sheep are raised. Sheep veterinary specialist Professor Kym Abbott and his co-authors inform the reader of the science underpinning the occurrence of disease syndromes, giving special attention to commonly investigated problems related to nutrition, reproduction and helminthiasis. Other disease conditions of sheep are discussed in subsequent chapters; first on the basis of presenting signs in the case of lameness and sudden death – conditions in which signs can be attributed to disorders of a variety of body systems – and then on a body-systems basis. This new edition thoroughly revises and expands on the previous text, adding a review of the systems and strategies available to improve the welfare of sheep in extensive farming systems, a chapter on pain relief, analgesia and anaesthesia for sheep, and a chapter on metacestodes. The text is illustrated with more than 150 full-colour images and photographs.

Download or read book Sheep Diseases written by Michael Papst and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book first addresses a comprehensive review of sheep mastitis. The authors covers up-to-date reports on aetiology and epidemiology, important features of the disease, such as pathogenesis, clinical signs and diagnosis, and the current knowledge on treatment and prophylactic strategies for mastitis control. The following study examines listeriosis, a life threathening disease. Infections are caused by Listeria monocytogenes, which enters by inhalation, orally and by ocular mucosa. Normally, disease will not be produced if the host is immunocompetent, but when the immune system is depressed. Aiming to evaluate lesions caused by listeriosis in sheep from 2013 to 2017, all cases sent to the Research Center of Advanced Studies in Animal Health were analyzed. The concluding investigation aims to identify diseases transmitted by Melophagus ovinus, since it serves as vector of pathogenic diseases such as Trypanosoma melophagium, Anaplasma ovis, Blue tongue virus, Bartonella schoenbuchensis, Bartonella chomelii, Bartonella melophagi, and Bartonella spp all over the world.

This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathogens transmitted among humans, animals, or plants by insects and arthropod vectors have been responsible for significant morbidity and mortality throughout recorded history. Such vector-borne diseases â€" including malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and plague â€" together accounted for more human disease and death in the 17th through early 20th centuries than all other causes combined. Over the past three decades, previously controlled vector-borne diseases have resurged or reemerged in new geographic locations, and several newly identified pathogens and vectors have triggered disease outbreaks in plants and animals, including humans. Domestic and international capabilities to detect, identify, and effectively respond to vector-borne diseases are limited. Few vaccines have been developed against vector-borne pathogens. At the same time, drug resistance has developed in vector-borne pathogens while their vectors are increasingly resistant to insecticide controls. Furthermore, the ranks of scientists trained to conduct research in key fields including medical entomology, vector ecology, and tropical medicine have dwindled, threatening prospects for addressing vector-borne diseases now and in the future. In June 2007, as these circumstances became alarmingly apparent, the Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a workshop to explore the dynamic relationships among host, pathogen(s), vector(s), and ecosystems that characterize vector-borne diseases. Revisiting this topic in September 2014, the Forum organized a workshop to examine trends and patterns in the incidence and prevalence of vector-borne diseases in an increasingly interconnected and ecologically disturbed world, as well as recent developments to meet these dynamic threats. Participants examined the emergence and global movement of vector-borne diseases, research priorities for understanding their biology and ecology, and global preparedness for and progress toward their prevention, control, and mitigation. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
