- summary: The low pathogenicity avian influ- enza (LPAI) virus precursors to HPAI viruses are ubiquitous in wild waterfowl and shorebirds and usually only cause asymptomatic infections in these reser voir hosts. The presence of insertions or substitutions in the H0 cleavage site of HPAI virus will however abolish the binding of InfA_H5_640 and only one signal in chan- nel F3 would thus be visible.

- summary: This is not a true reflection of the herd udder health status as milk from problem cows should have been excluded (cows with clinical mastitis, fresh in milk cows, cows under treatment and sometimes those with high SCC). Traditionally, bulk milk tank somatic cell count (BMSCC) is used as a primary index when analysing herd udder health and is used as one of the quality criteria for payment by the secondary milk industry (Ruegg & Pantoja 2013).

- summary: The previously identified lineages (Bastos et al. 2003b; Sangare et al. 2004) could not be followed in this study, as the inclusion of more isolates has altered the structure of the phylogeny at that level, albeit not on genotype level. The best method to date to differentiate between FMD virus isolates has been the determination of the RNA sequence encoding the VP1 protein which contains the major antigenic determinants of the vi- rus (Beck & Strohmaier 1987; Samuel, Knowles & Kitching 1988).

- summary: Responder cells at a final concentration of 2 x 106 PBMC/mL were added to respective test wells together with one of the following: E. ruminantium crude antigen (1 µg/mL, positive control), ConA (positive control), E. ruminantium recombinant proteins (10 µg/mL), synthetic peptides (10 µg/mL), Erum5000A (positive control for peptides), E. ruminantium recombinant protein that tested negative previously (rErum4930, rNegative, negative control) or medium only (unstimulated PBMCs). In this study we therefore investigated whether secreted E. ruminantium recombinant proteins and peptides would induce similar immune responses in vitro by PBMC from needle infected and challenged (NI) and tick infected and challenged (TI) animals.

- summary: For comparison of the relative abundance of G. brevipalpis and G. austeni populations, a paired test was used to differentiate between mean tsetse fly AD. This was epitomised by data that indicated that despite large differences in the ADs of G. austeni and G. brevipalpis, trypanosome infection prevalence was similar in all three districts in the area.

- summary: While C. bolitinos is known to possess a sub- stantially greater vector competence for both BTV and AHSV than C. imicola (Venter et al. 1998, 2000), it was found in relatively low abundance, and should be relatively easy to control by more rapid removal (Bishop et al. 2005) or treatment of dung (Standfast, Muller & Wilson 1984) from animal holding areas as it is known to breed directly in the dung of large her- bivores (Meiswinkel 1989). Pro portionately, C. imicola was by far the most common ly trapped species, con- stituting more than 95 % of all midges caught at the buffalo and elephant sites and 67 % at the white rhinoceros/black- faced impala site, where Culi coides cor- 345 K. LABUSCHAGNE et al. nutus de Meillon, 1937 was also comparatively abundant (19 %)

- summary: Abstract The objective of the study was to establish an operational somatic cell count (SCC) threshold to predict the presence of intramammary infection (IMI) in composite milk samples and compare findings with those in quarter milk samples. In composite samples, milk from the four udder quarters is combined, with a consequent dilution effect that has required different interpretation of the results from quarter milk samples.

- summary: Confirmed vectors of B. bigemina are Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus and Rhipicephalus (Booph- ilus) microplus (nomenclature according to Horak, Camicas & Keirans 2002), while B. bovis is trans- mitted only by the latter tick species. The parasites are widespread in South Africa, except in very low rainfall areas, coinciding with the distribution of their tick vectors; B. bigemina being more widespread than B. bovis which occurs mainly in high rainfall areas.

- summary: Studies conducted in this region using a glycerated T. parva Katete stock stabilate (Geysen, Bishop, Skil ton, Dolan & Morzaria 1999) showed that after 6 h of storage on ice stabilates could still protect 90 % of the immunized animals (Marcotty et al. 2001). For glycerol stabilates, an equal amount of chilled MEM/BSA with glycerol at 15 % (w/v) was added drop-wise (OIE 2005).

- summary: It may thus be safe to conclude that the aqueous extract of the leaves of A. precatorius can cause toxic effects on the red blood cells of rats. Toxic plants do not produce a direct effect on the white blood cells, such as neu- trophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and monocytes (Swenson & Reece 1993).

- summary: The major clinical signs in T. parva infections are en- largement of lymph nodes, especially those adja- cent to sites of parasite inoculation, pyrexia, lympho- cyte destruction resulting in leukopenia, interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary oedema and death (Jura & Losos 1980; Irvin & Mwamachi 1983; Irvin & Mor rison 1987). These findings suggest that animals with a higher proportion of small red blood cells in cir- culation will be more likely to succumb to T. parva infections.

Clinical dermatophilosis cases and outbreaks were tested for normality using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test, a p-value of < 0.05 indicated non-normality of the distribution.

- summary: To reduce such spore inoculum in the environment incineration of anthrax carcasses and burial have been the preferred method and in accordance with WHO and OIE guidelines internationally (Turnbull 2008). Treating anthrax carcasses with 10% formalin would kill the bacteria, deter scavengers that would open the carcass and decrease spread by flies, but remains controversial because of the health and safety issues related to its handling.

- flesch: 65
- summary: Tick numbers were reduced after the burn, but increased after varying periods thereafter depend- ing on tick species, patterns of seasonal occurrence, and host preference. In 2000/2001 there was a marked drop in tick numbers relative to the pre- ceding years in the burned sub-plots, but little change from the other years in the unburned sub-plots.

- summary: The results indicate that RPMI can be used as a cheaper freezing medium for T. parva stabilates and that refrozen stabi- late doses need to be adjusted for the 35 % loss of infectivity. Comparison of respective infectivities of test stabi- late media to those of MEM stabilates were con- ducted by calculating the ratios of effective doses EDMEM/EDX where ED = the effective dose, in tick equivalent, of stabilate that results in a given propor- tion of wells to be positive and x = test media.

- summary: Although we have examined numerous birds and mammals, we have not collected larvae or nymphs of A. sylvaticum from any of them, and it would thus appear as if infesta- tions on other tortoise species and reptiles augment the population of immature ticks (Table 3). It would seem that the larger the species the greater the number of adult ticks it is likely to har- bour, and leopard tortoises, the largest of the South African species, carried most adult ticks.

Detection of antibodies against bluetongue virus and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus to determine sero-prevalence Venous blood samples (5 mL) were collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) vacutainers from a total of 137 cattle and 72 sheep on the participating farms at the start of the three rainy seasons (1999/2000; 2000/2001; 2001/2002).

- summary: For such studies to succeed large stocks of viable amphistome metacercariae are required (Swart & Reinecke 1962a) and the first step is to de- velop a routine technique for establishing and main- taining infected snails for harvesting metacercariae. The attempt at mass production of C. microbothrium using experimentally infected B. tropicus was large- ly unsuccessful as low numbers of cercariae were recovered and snail mortality was high.

- summary: Despite the abundance and diversity of proteo- cephalid cestodes in African freshwater fish (Khalil & Polling 1997), only one species, Proteocephalus glanduliger has been recorded in South Africa from C. gariepinus (Mashego 1977, 2001; Van As & Bas- son 1984; Saayman et al. 1991). A survey of fish parasites in Lake Kariba.

- summary: One tool that has been used successfully in detecting the parasites in tsetse flies is the repetitive insertion mobile element loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RIME LAMP). The use of dry RIME LAMP in the field for xenomonitoring of trypanosomes in tsetse flies will greatly contribute towards control of this neglected tropical disease as it provides the cheapest, fastest and simplest way to estimate possible human infective trypanosome infection rates in the tsetse fly vectors.

- summary: However, more knowledge about the life cycle of sea turtle leeches would be beneficial, as some species of Ozobranchus have been implicated as mechanical vectors of fibropapilloma-associated turtle herpesvirus (FPTHV), a neoplastic disease causing epithelial tumours in sea turtles (Greenblatt et al. 2004). Ozobranchus margoi parasitise several species of sea turtle, namely green turtles (Chelonia mydas; Richardson 1969), Kemp’s ridley turtles (Lepidochelys kempii; Davies & Chapman 1974), hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata; Bunkley-Williams et al. 2008), as well as loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta; Insacco, Violani & Zava 2000).

- summary: Therefore re- sults of previous transmission experiments with un- cloned Theileria of the same strains were compared with the performances of cloned Theileria in both cattle and tick infections in order to determine what levels of transmissibility can be expected when plan- ning experiments. The relation between piroplasm parasitaemia and tick infection was examined using data from the uncloned T. par- va transmissions.

Norval (1975) stated that adult ticks attach in great- er numbers around the bases of the hind-legs of tortoises, and nymphs around those of the forelegs as well as on the head and neck, while larvae are evenly distributed between the two sites.

- summary: Singh, Dulac and Henderson (1997) found that BTV-11 was not transmitted when sheep embryos collected from infected donors were washed and transferred to uninfected BT-susceptible recipients. Apart from the information mentioned above there is little information on the possible role of sheep embryos in the transmission and spread of BTV and the contradictory results that have been obtained to date create a great deal of uncertainty.

- summary: High levels of calcium in downer cow syndrome may be interpreted as a result of hormonal imbalance, for instance excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) causing excessive bone resorption (Balamurugan et al. 2017:694), which could explain the increased calcium level in downer cows observed in this study. In downer cow syndrome cows, significantly low CHOL concentrations were noted in Afrikaner (2.83 ± 1.12 mmol/L), Brahman (2.17 ± 1.12 mmol/L) and mixed breed cows (6.50 ± 0.97 mmol/L), as seen in Table 5.

- summary: Similar studies in India revealed that poor communities that have high TB prevalences with little exposure to mass media also have little knowledge of factors affecting TB risk and transmission (Sreeramareddy, Harsha Kumar & Arokiasamy 2013). Tuberculosis awareness by the community is an effective TB control strategy as education empowers people to make informed choices with regard to mitigating TB risk factors in their daily lives.

- summary: Discussion This study was aimed at evaluating the potential of housing vervet monkeys (C. pygerythrus) next to domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus), which we believed would be appropriate based on the similar housing requirements between these species, the size of the cats and an observed natural instance at a local vervet sanctuary where the two species tolerated each other well. With none of the animals inducted into the study having lost weight, it can thus be concluded that housing vervet monkeys and domestic cats separated by a physical barrier was not a stressful event to either species.

Trichinella zimbabwensis larvae, previously derived from a Nile crocodile, were maintained in a colony of rats housed at the Biological Resource Unit (BRU) at the Westville Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

- summary: In dead test group birds, there was higher exposure to diclofenac compared to dead control group birds (Table 1), as evidenced by the higher geomean AUClast (0.87 μg/mL*h vs. 0.31 μg/mL*h) and Cmax values (1.24 μg/mL vs. 0.24 μg/mL) and lower Cl values (0.88 L/h*kg vs. 0.32 L/h*kg). Evaluation of the metabolite peaks produced also suggested partial metabolic inhibition in test group birds, as they produced lower amounts of metabolites for one of the three peaks demonstrated and had higher diclofenac exposure.

- summary: There appears to be a close similarity in the pattern of myocardial fibrosis in animals that die of gousiek- te and that in humans with dilated cardiomyopathy. Myocardial cells with advanced myofibrillar loss were atrophic (Fig. 12), with a de- creased cell diameter, whereas cells with a moder- ate degree of myofibrillar loss maintained a normal cell diameter as a result of the proliferation of other cytoplasmic components, particularly mitochondria.

- summary: Gender imbalance in vaccine access has been suggested; for example, access to livestock vaccines and animal health information is limited in North-Eastern Uganda (Yusuf 2013). The aim of this study was to explore the challenges to the use of livestock vaccines experienced by small-ruminant and poultry farmers, as well as the challenges in providing veterinary services faced by animal health professionals (specifically animal health or livestock extension officers) in Tanzania.

- summary: Based on the assumption that circulating blood volume is about 90 ml/kg in the dog (Knot- tenbelt & Mackin 1998), the formula for the maxi- mum volume of blood that could be removed is: Blood volume to be removed (ml) = 20 % x mass (kg) x 90 Multiple phlebotomies were performed at least 4 h apart on a daily basis until an Ht of 14–17 % was obtained. About 20 % of the cir- culating blood volume was removed from the jugular vein 1–3 times per day over a 3–4 day period until a haematocrit (Ht) of 13–17 % was obtained.

Small numbers of several tick species have been collected from Southern African hedgehogs (Theiler 1962; Walker, Keirans & Horak 2000), but, with the exception of a small number of species, all of these should be considered accidental infestations and simply a reflection of the abundance of the free-living stages of ticks in a particular region.

- summary: Despite their small size, the potential of rodents for rapid population growth and for main- taining high population levels can contribute signif- icantly to the dynamics of tick species that use them as hosts (Norval 1979; Horak, Spickett & Braack 2000). Seven ixo- did tick species were collected from striped mice, house rats, Rattus rattus, vlei rats, Otomys spp. and Praomys sp. captured in the vicinity of human dwellings or animal holding facilities in the Grahamstown district.

The tick species recovered from carnivores in two of these surveys have been recorded by Horak, Jacot Guillarmod, Moolman & De Vos (1987) and Horak, Braack, Fourie & Walker (2000), as have the ticks, mites, fleas and lice infesting yellow mongooses, Cynictis penicillata (Horak, Chaparro, Beaucournu & Louw 1999).

- summary: The results of this study can be used, to some extent, to explain the typical seasonal variation found in the annoyance levels exhibited by adult blackflies along the lower Orange River and therefore, outbreaks can be pre- dicted with more accuracy and blackfly control pro- grammes can be adjusted accordingly. Four phases characterize the development of blackfly control in South Africa: (1) during the 1960s blackflies in the Vaal River were controlled with DDT; (2), during the 1970s and into the 1980s blackflies were controlled using water-flow manipulation; (3) when used at strategic times, water-flow manipulation could be used to enhance the effect of natural predator populations; and (4) during the 1990s the organophosphate temephos and toxins produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var.

- summary: The harsh environment in the northern and western parts of the Limpopo province would necessitate helminth parasites to employ strategies to protect the vulnerable, free-living larval stages, not only during winter when temperatures and rainfall are low, but also during summer, when temperatures are high and rainfall often low. Ortlepp (1964) examined material from Mozambique and the northern Transvaal (now Limpopo), which has been included in the list of helminth parasites of Round (1968).

- summary: The results of the investigation indicated that 36.1% of the neonatal calves were exposed to BVDV infection in utero. This is higher than what has been reported in the literature and suggests that dairy farmers in the Arabian Peninsula need to be made aware of the dangers of BVDV infections in their herds.

- summary: To investigate the relationship between fish parasite communities and water quality, metazoan parasites were examined in 140 specimens of the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) sampled in three lakes in the Limpopo Province, namely the Luphephe–Nwanedi Dams (regarded as unpolluted), the Flag Boshielo Dam (regarded as moderately polluted) and a return water dam on a mine site (regarded as polluted). The reference site and the moderately polluted site had an equal number of monoxenous parasite species (Table 2).

- summary: R. appendiculatus ticks collected from grass were also PCR-positive for Theileria sp. If it is assumed that this infection was Theileria sp. (sable), it would indicate that R. appendiculatus ticks are capable of acquiring heavy infection rates, supporting its role as a vector significantly.

- summary: So, the PFGE method was used to analyse the genetic diversity of H. parasuis isolates collected from South China and a computer analysis program was used to determine similarities between isolates, thereby providing a more objective assessment of clonality (in conjunction with epidemiologic data) that can be used to establish H. parasuis as the etiologic agent of animal disease in this region. 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.

- summary: Any control programme should therefore aim to provide sufficient tick control to increase cattle productivity, whilst not reducing tick numbers to the extent that endemic stability is adversely affected. Tick infections were determined through direct microscopy after staining the tick salivary glands with Schiff’s (Fuelgen’s) reagent to identify infected acini.

- summary: CONCLUSION Birds that feed on the ground are predisposed to tick infestation, but there are also considerable dif- ferences among tick species in their predisposition and ability to infest birds. 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).

- summary: Tatchell (1983) stated that Hy. rufipes, R. evertsi evertsi and R. (B.) decoloratus were ubiquitous in their distribution along the Blue Nile, whilst the distribution of Hy. anatolicum was restricted to north of Wad Medani. During 1979 to 1982, the immature stages of A. lepidum, Hy. anatolicum and R. evertsi evertsi were found feeding on cattle and sheep and immature A. variegatum specimens were collected from cattle (Latif 1985).

- summary: The above considerations propelled academic and research institutions involved with infectious diseases of humans and animals (domesticated or wild, terrestrial or aquatic) in southern Africa to form the SACIDS (http:// www.sacids.org), with the vision of: A Southern African society protected from devastating infectious diseases affecting the health of humans, animals, i.e. both terrestrial and aquatic, and plants, i.e. crop, forest and ornamental, thereby promoting livelihoods, socio-economic development including market access and the environment. It is against this background that African experts in infectious diseases of humans, animals and plants advocated in 2005 a Pan-African Vision for Infectious Disease Management as: A Pan-African concerted effort, shared by AU member governments, reflecting the needs of African society and supported by the international community, with the goal of a society protected from the ravages of dangerous infectious diseases that compromise either human health or livelihoods and agriculture and economic development.

- summary: Respondents were asked to specify frequency of collection and submission of disease surveillance reports, diseases reported and constraints and challenges faced during disease surveillance in animal and human health sectors. The emergence of innovative and appropriate technologies, approaches and tools for participatory epidemiology and disease surveillance (Hussain et al. 2005; Jost et al. 2007), such as the use of mobile technologies (Aanensen et al. 2009; Despont-Gros et al. 2005) is likely to mean that infectious disease surveillance can be improved in future.

- summary: Although the occurrence of M. bovis in humans is relatively minor compared to the burden from M. tuberculosis as far as we know, there is concern that the HIV and AIDS pandemic may have magnified this risk. Based on this premise, M. bovis may present either as pulmonary TB (47%) or extrapulmonary cases (53%), whereas M. tuberculosis presents as 82% pulmonary and 18% extrapulmonary cases (Owendidactic.org, n.d.).

- summary: In domestic cycle where trypanosomes circulate only in domestic animals, geographical distribution of these strains indicated that high virulent trypanosome strains are present in limited villages (4 out of 11) and different virulent profiles were observed in various areas suggesting an uneven distribution of those virulent trypanosome strains (Masumu et al. 2006a). Whether the circulation of low virulent trypanosome strains in domestic animals could protect them from the adverse affect of the high virulent strains was also assessed (Masumu et al. 2009b).

As the focus on knowledge management for organisations and consortia alike is moving towards a keen appreciation of how deeply knowledge is embedded in people’s experiences, there is a general realisation that knowledge cannot be stored or captured digitally.

- summary: Binary logistic regression was used for analysis in which case the dependent variable was food security in terms of food insecure (0) and food secure (1) based on kilocalories consumed per adult equivalent per day. 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.

- 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.

- summary: Materials and methods Top ↑ Animals Eleven non-pregnant Friesian dairy cows, four to nine years old, between 54 and 83 days in milk, with body condition scores of 1.5 to 2.5 out of five, and which had no antibody titres to B. bovis antigen in the IFA test (Gray & De Vos 1981; Joyner et al. 1972), were used in the field trial to determine the effect of block treating B. bovis vaccine. 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.

When contemplating the history of botulism (lam- siekte) in South Africa, one of the first realizations is that the initial observations were not done by scien- tists or veterinarians but by travellers such as Le Vaillant in 1881 (Le Vaillant 1896).

- summary: Significantly higher toxin concentration in the NE was associated with higher soil concentrations of Fe, Bi, Br, Cd, Cr, Rb, Te, Tl, Ti and Zn, whilst soil concentrations of Sr and soil pH were significantly lower (Table 2). Although several statistically significant associations between soil parameters and plant toxin concentration were found (Table 2), inferences cannot be made regarding the causal relationship of these associations.

- summary: The spread of CBPP southwards has been arrested such that to date there has been no spread of CBPP disease to Malawi, as indi cated through sustained surveillance in that country. The current scenario of CBPP disease epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa requires that proactive measures are taken to safeguard countries in southern Africa which are currently free from CBPP from being con- taminated by the disease thus affecting the beef industry and people’s livelihoods; and to progres- sively control the disease in endemic zones of Western and Central Africa.

- summary: His subsequent research on plant poisonings drew the attention of noted botanists such as J. Burtt-Davy, I.B. Pole Evans and A.O.D. Mogg, initi- ating a fruitful collaboration between botanists and veterinarians that has persisted to this day. His subsequent investigations of plant poisonings largely laid the foundation for the future Sections of Toxicology at the Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science (UP).

- summary: This article reviews the history of economic analyses of the problem, starting with the use of cost to guide choice of technique for tsetse control in the 1950s, followed by work in the 1970s and 1980s linking these to the impact of the disease on livestock productivity, and in the 1990s to its wider impact. Thus, by 1950, costs were being analysed in order both to inform choice of technique and to improve tsetse control methods.

- summary: Tsetse and Trypanosomosis (T & T) is one of the trans- boundary insect pest and disease problems that constitute a key bottleneck to sustainable agricul- ture and rural development (SARD) in sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa. This programme seeks through the FAO, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), African Union (AU) and World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure a coordinated and sustainable ap- proach through the development and implementa- tion of integrated interventions against T & T. PAAT is concerned with providing affected countries and the donor community with the information needed both to improve understanding and to facilitate poli- cy, technical, financial and decision-making with re- spect to interventions, including the underlying pest management principles.

- summary: Tilapia sparrmanii specimens were found to be more frequently infected by eye diplostomid metacercariae than P. philander. The power of phylogenetic analysis is undermined by the lack of parasite sequences in the Genbank database and therefore renders a limitation into complete characterisation of these organisms.

- summary: Much has been done to implement various methods of tsetse control, but the flies continue to occupy + 10 million km2 (Rogers & Robinson 2004), much as in Bruce’s time. Whether this can speed the previously slow progress will depend on overcoming past hindrances to tsetse control: sporadic support, disputes over its desirability, difficulties of sustaining international operations, and poor planning in some instances.

- summary: Although the ehrlichias express a related group of variable but immunoprotective (Nyika, Mahan et al. 1998; Nyika, Barbet et al. 2002; Yager, Bitsaktsis et al. 2005) OMPs to the MSP2s of the anaplasmas, they do not appear to have a similar system of anti- genic variation that involves extensive recombina- tion into a single genomic expression site. Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a related species to A. marginale which, although known for > 200 years as a pathogen of ruminants (cases in more than 300 000 Norwegian lambs annually) (Stuen 2007), is now causing severe infections in dogs and hu- mans (Dumler, Choi et al. 2005; Lester, Breitschwerdt et al. 2005; Poitout, Shinozaki et al. 2005; Dumler, Barat et al. 2007; Jensen, Simon et al. 2007; Beall, Chandrashekar et al. 2008; Kohn, Galke et al. 2008).

- summary: The high prevalence of viable cysts in the edible parts of beef together with the widespread consumption of raw or undercooked beef indicated the importance of T. saginata cysticercosis as a food safety problem in eastern Ethiopia. Formulating a strategy for controlling the associated disease prevalence is a first step in the management of disease, but the epidemiological data for T. saginata cysticercosis in Ethiopia are inadequate to develop effective recommendations.

- summary: The map1 gene had been shown to provide some protection when presented as a DNA vaccine, even though there were reasons to believe that it might not be a good choice for recombinant vaccine development, so further work was carried out to determine how the protection stimulated by the putative ABC trans- porter genes compared with that stimulated by other cocktails of E. ruminantium genes (Pretorius, Col- lins, Steyn, Van Strijp, Van Kleef & Allsopp 2007). The name was later changed to Cowdria ruminantium (Moshkovski 1947) and much more recently molecular phyloge- netic evidence has shown that the heartwater agent is in fact a species of Ehrlichia which is now known as E. ruminantium (Dumler, Barbet, Bekker, Dasch, Palmer, Ray, Rikihisa & Rurangirwa 2001).

- summary: These findings indicated that Mbala and Kazungula districts had FMD outbreaks in 2012 that were ascribed to at least FMDV serotype SAT 2 and SAT 1 field strains. Further collection and analysis of samples, together with improved local epidemiological investigation into FMD outbreaks in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, is required to improve our understanding of the complex epidemiology of FMD in the region.

- summary: In Tanzania, 516 rodent and nine human samples were analysed for the presence of Yersinia pestis DNA. The presence of Yersinia pestis DNA in rodents and fleas may represent evidence that infected rodents and fleas are being maintained in plague endemic areas, consistent with the hypothesised enzootic maintenance of plague elsewhere, whilst Bacillus anthracis is amplified by animals from soil into the human population.

- summary: The median ratio of benefits to costs was around four to one with human health benefits at least equal to animal health benefits and often greater. They estimate that a US$3.4bn investment in animal health systems per annum would support these systems so that they could function effectively and efficiently, enabling them to avert the losses incurred through delayed or inadequate response.

- summary: The number of veterinary schools present within a country will affect the scope of veterinary training and responsibility of each school. The scope of veterinary training in future will have to emphasise veterinary public health, food safety, emerging diseases, international trade, bioterrorism, and biomedical re- search, within the context of a one-health system focusing on the interface between wildlife, domes- ticated animals, humans, and their environment.

- summary: For example, the Serengeti model highlighted the importance of spatial structure, with village-to-village transmission of dog rabies being more important in driving regional-scale dynamics than transmission from wildlife-protected areas; and being consistent with results of earlier studies that identified dogs, not wildlife, as being rabies reservoirs in the Serengeti (Lembo et al. 2008). Given the distinctive nature of dog rabies, recognition amongst local communities in Africa can be high (e.g. 74% of cases reported as suspect rabid animals in rural Tanzania were confirmed positive on laboratory diagnosis; Lembo et al. 2008).

Box 248, Clocolan, 9735 South Africa 124 Future of private veterinary practice in South Africa If veterinarians wish to pass the life boat test, the faculty needs to make graduating veterinarians more relevant to society in the 21st century, as the needs of the veterinary profession is severely im- balanced with more than 75 % of qualifying veteri- narians ending up in companion animal practice. Therefore, one should constantly look over one’s shoulder to see who might be creating something new that could change veterinary practice, and then stay one step ahead to survive.

- summary: The fear of transboundary animal diseases (TADs— diseases that are able to spread quickly and affect a large number of animals over a wide geographic area in a short period of time), together with insist- ence that imports of animal products are derived from locations where TADs do not occur, have re- sulted in distorted policies in respect of disease man agement and trade in animal products. The reasons for that be- ing so in the context of animal disease, together with alternative and more appropriate approaches, will be proposed here.

- summary: The inclusion criterion for the present study was pig farms with ≤ 50 sows, located within the five districts of Limpopo, that have been active in pig production for at least one year. Finally, the South African pig retail industry is broadly classified into a dual market structure: the high-value markets (processors and supermarkets) for commercial pig farmers and the low-value markets (local auctions, pension pay points for the ESSPF).

- summary: Regarding pig diseases, Limpopo province is important as the greater part of the province falls within the African swine fever control area. In conclusion, we have produced evidence that geographic factors and trade-movement networks played roles in ASF dynamics and dispersal in South Africa and that managing these in Limpopo province is critical for pig disease control.

- summary: This study indicates that pig parasites are a major problem in the study area, hence implementation of strategic control measures and appropriate hygienic management systems are recommended to reduce the prevalence of parasites. 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).

- summary: Therefore, in addition to possible indirect effects on productivity, such cattle could act as a source of theileriosis, trypanosomosis, anaplasmosis and babesiosis (Laohasinnarong et al. 2011; Makala et al. 2003; Swai et al. 2007) for other susceptible livestock, particularly the more productive exotic animals. In agreement with Swai and Kaaya (2012), a relatively higher occurrence of T. vivax in cattle blood sampled can be reported.

- summary: Monitoring foal body temperature can alert farmers to outbreaks of infectious disease, such as EE. Whilst this study concluded that pyrexia in foals is not directly associated with EE, it is evident that if farmers monitor foal body temperature regularly and frequently, an outbreak of EE (and potentially other infectious diseases) can be identified based on an increase in the number of foals presenting with pyrexia within a short period of time.

- summary: In humans and animals, T. gondii infections are acquired post natally by the ingestion of tissue cysts in partially cooked meat, infective oocysts in food or water contaminated with infected felid faeces, or handling of tissues of animals infected with tissue cysts. In sheep, T. gondii infection is mainly acquired post natally, as congenital infections usually lead to abortions.
