After isolation of H. parasuis from the clinical specimens, the LAMP can be performed as a substitute for 16S rRNA PCR tests for bacterial identification, eliminating the need for time-consuming electrophoresis and costly specialised equipment, as well as reducing the time for the diagnosis of H. parasuis infection considerably. keywords: 16s; agricultural; amplification; bacterial; chain; china; clinical; detection; development; diagnosis; disease; dna; electrophoresis; et al; field; gel; gene; genotyping; haemophilus; haemophilus parasuis; infb; isolates; isolation; isothermal; isothermal amplification; journal; lamp; loop; method; microbiology; min; oliveira; parasuis; parasuis isolates; pcr; pfge; pigs; polymerase; positive; reaction; research; rrna; samples; serovar; south; south china; strains; study; test; university; veterinary cache: ojvr-383.htm plain text: ojvr-383.txt item: #308 of 505 id: ojvr-384 author: None title: ojvr-384 date: None words: 8526 flesch: 44 summary: FIGURE 22: The temporal distribution of reported Rift Valley fever outbreaks in South Africa during the period 1950–2010.

Unlike other tick species, of which the immature stages tend to infest mainly larger birds, H. rufipes is found on passerines (Cumming 1998) as well as on larger species such as Crested Francolin and Helmeted Guineafowl (Horak et al. 1991b; Uys and Horak 2005). keywords: 1998; 2004–2006; adobe; adult; africa; altitudinal; amblyomma; animals; apanaskevich; birds; black; breasted; cape; chat; cisticola; common; distribution; domestic; et al; false; fourie; ground; group; haemaphysalis; hasle; hebraeum; hockey; hoogstraal; horak; horak et; hosts; humans; hyalomma; i.g; immature; important; infest; ixodes; journal; large; larvae; local; marmoreum; migrant; migration; niekerk; nomadic; northern; nymphs; onderstepoort; parasites; passerines; pathogens; pretoria; provinces; quelea; range; red; research; resident; rhipicephalus; robin; rufipes; season; sedentary; small; south; south africa; southern; species; stages; study; table; tick species; ticks; trees; true; university; uys; van; veterinary; walker; weaver; wild; williams cache: ojvr-42.pdf plain text: ojvr-42.txt item: #325 of 505 id: ojvr-422 author: None title: ojvr-422 date: None words: 7409 flesch: 29 summary: In this regard, the South African Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), for example, have an epidemiology division whose mandate is contained in the Animal Diseases Act (Act No. 35 of 1984) (as amended) (South African Government 1984) and its main functions include (Ungerer 2008):• developing, analysing and auditing policies for the surveillance of animal diseases and diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans • developing, analysing and auditing policies on disease reporting in the different provinces of South Africa • conducting risk assessments at a national level • acting as contact point for communicating risk and the occurrence of animal diseases in South Africa to foreign governments and international bodies • managing animal disease information and reporting thereof to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Union (AU) • managing of animal disease information by using a Geographic Information System • managing of animal disease early warning systems (SADC, nationally and internationally) • ensuring that there are adequate government veterinary laboratory services at provincial level and elsewhere, for example in the Kruger National Park, and by working in collaboration with the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute of the Agricultural Research Council • enforcement of quality systems in diagnostic veterinary laboratories • auditing the enforcement of policy for reference laboratories.

Based on these findings, it is concluded that although being affected by HIV and AIDS has negative impact on food security, it does not automatically make households food insecure, especially in a short run, and that some non-HIV and AIDS factors like high dependency ratio and low ability to buy food have bigger negative impact than that of HIV and AIDS on food security. keywords: aids; food; hiv; households; impact; negative; rufiji; secure; security; tanzania cache: ojvr-482.htm plain text: ojvr-482.txt item: #367 of 505 id: ojvr-483 author: None title: ojvr-483 date: None words: 719 flesch: 39 summary: As a matter of fact, following studies will be conducted: • evaluation of the immunological protection against Rift Valley fever in vaccinated and non-vaccinated cattle using IgG and IgM ELISAs in Katanga Province • assessment of cellular response to Rift Valley fever disease in vaccinated and naturally infected cattle • molecular characterisation of RVFV strains circulating in vaccinated and non vaccinated cattle • assessment of protective effect related to vaccinal strains in cattle, using a longitudinal survey. Livestock immunisation is important for control of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) epidemics; however immunisation of susceptible domestic animals in endemic countries does not protect animals against the clinical disease but prevents the propagation of virus to human population through reduction of the amplification degree in host animals. keywords: animals; cattle; cells; congo; democratic; fever; immune; protective; republic; response; rift; rvfv; studies; vaccinated; valley cache: ojvr-483.htm plain text: ojvr-483.txt item: #368 of 505 id: ojvr-485 author: None title: ojvr-485 date: None words: 402 flesch: 51 summary: Article Information Authors: P.

Due to the detrimental effect of diminazene on the vaccine parasites as well as various other factors, such as the degree of natural resistance of different cattle breeds and individual animals to Babesia parasites, the infectivity of frozen vaccine being less predictable than that of unfrozen vaccine (due to demise of parasites during freezing and thawing), the non-conformance of diminazene preparations to manufacturer’s label claims (Tettey et al. 2002) and the accuracy of the drug dose administered, all influencing successful immunisation, the block treating of B. bovis and B. bigemina vaccine reactions was no longer recommended. keywords: africa; animals; b. bovis; babesia; babesia bovis; babesiosis; bigemina; block; blood; bovis; bovis vaccine; cattle; combrink; control; cows; dairy; day; days; diminazene; disease; dose; effect; field; frozen; group; ifat; infection; institute; journal; laboratory; live; milk; onderstepoort; parasites; pcr; period; positive; practice; reactions; research; south; study; tick; treating; treatment; use; vaccination; vaccine; veterinary; vos; waal cache: ojvr-491.htm plain text: ojvr-491.txt item: #373 of 505 id: ojvr-492 author: None title: ojvr-492 date: None words: 4149 flesch: 38 summary: Understanding livestock demographic dynamics becomes a key for the planning of sustainable pasture management and the planning of animal health interventions.

Introduction Top ↑ Pig production is the fastest growing livestock sector worldwide and this trend is expected to continue over the coming years. The lack of grazing land for ruminants and the recognition by farmers of quicker and higher returns on their investment have contributed to an increased interest in pig production (Phiri et al. 2003; Serres 2001). keywords: ababa; abdu; addis; age; agricultural; analysis; animal; area; ascaris; authors; bishoftu; body; common; condition; data; difference; diseases; et al; ethiopia; examination; factors; farms; gashaw; gastrointestinal; git; hale; health; husbandry; infections; information; journal; kagira; kenya; keshaw; management; mange; medicine; mekelle; occurrence; parasites; parasitic; parasitology; piglets; pigs; poor; practices; prevalence; production; region; risk; samples; scabiei; skin; species; spp; stewart; studies; study; suis; suum; swine; tropical; university; var; veterinary; west cache: ojvr-839.htm plain text: ojvr-839.txt item: #478 of 505 id: ojvr-84 author: Cloete, M.; Dungu, B.; Van Staden, L.I.; Ismail-Cassim, N.; Vosloo, W. title: Evaluation of different adjuvants for foot-and-mouth disease vaccine containing all the SAT serotypes date: 2008-09-10 words: 9860 flesch: 58 summary: Animal trials to determine the efficacy of the various vaccines Evaluation of different oil-adjuvanted vaccine formulations Four groups of six FMD-free cattle were vaccinated with FMD vaccine formulations 1–4 (Table 1). 2 Evaluation of FMD vaccine formulations 8, 9 and 10 at two dip tanks keywords: 206b; addition; adjuvants; africa; animals; antibodies; antibody; antigen; average; b b; barnett; booster; cattle; challenge; clinical; cloete; control; cox; days; different; dip; disease; disease vaccine; dose; emergency; evaluation; feet; fig; fmd; fmd vaccine; foot; formulation; free; groups; higher; hunter; immune; infection; isa; live; log10; mouth; mouth disease; msogwaba; n e; n t; neutralizing; o n; oil; p.v; payload; pigs; positive; post; potency; protection; research; responses; results; s n; saponin; sat; serotypes; strains; study; tanks; test; titres; vaccinated; vaccination; vaccine; vaccine formulations; virus; vosloo; w/o; weeks; zone cache: ojvr-84.pdf plain text: ojvr-84.txt item: #479 of 505 id: ojvr-840 author: None title: None date: None words: 3633 flesch: 41 summary: Knowledge of E. ruminantium strain diversity could be important in understanding the epidemiology of heartwater.
