EPISODE 70 DETAILS Brucellosis Found In Wyoming Cattle Cowherds Quarantined Because Of Wyoming Brucellosis Routine surveillance testing has identified brucellosis affected cattle herds in Wyoming. One herd is in Park County which borders Yellowstone National Park and Montana. The other is in Sublett County in west-central Wyoming. While the two counties are not contiguous, they are connected by forested areas and mountain ranges. Both herds are located within Wyoming's Brucellosis Designated Surveillance Area (DSA) and were quarantined following confirmation of the test results. No contact herd quarantines are anticipated. The Wyoming Livestock Board (WLSB) currently has three herds in Park County and another herd in Sublette County under brucellosis quarantine. Testing of affected herds is a cooperative effort between herd owners and private veterinary practitioners. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Veterinary Services (VS) personnel participate. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department cooperates with federal agencies in surveillance and diagnostics of brucellosis. In cattle and bison, the bacteria of concern is Brucella abortus. Brucellosis or “bangs disease” has been in the U.S. since the 1930s. All 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are today considered brucellosis-free—except in livestock near the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) where wild bison and elk often intermingle with cattle in the last remaining reservoir of this disease in the U.S.  For the full article, click HERE.

fWotD Episode 2633: Alpine ibex Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 20 July 2024 is Alpine ibex.The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock, is a European species of goat that lives in the Alps. It is one of ten species in the genus Capra and its closest living relative is the Iberian ibex. The Alpine ibex is a sexually dimorphic species; males are larger and carry longer horns than females. Its coat is brownish-grey. Alpine ibexes tend to live in steep, rough terrain and open alpine meadows. They can be found at elevations as high as 3,300 m (10,800 ft) and their sharp hooves allow them to scale their mountainous habitat.Alpine ibexes primarily feed on grass and are active throughout the year. Although they are social animals, adult males and females segregate for most of the year, coming together only to mate. During the breeding season, males use their long horns to fight for access to females. Ibexes have few predators but may succumb to parasites and diseases.By the 19th century, the Alpine Ibex had been extirpated from most of its range and it went through a population bottleneck of fewer than 100 individuals during its near-extinction event, leading to very low genetic diversity across populations. The species has been successfully reintroduced to parts of its historical range. All individuals living today descend from the stock in Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy. As of 2020, the IUCN lists the species as being of least concern.Carl Linnaeus first described the Alpine ibex in 1758. It is classified in the genus Capra with nine other species of goat. Capra is Latin for "she-goat" while the species name "ibex" is translated from Latin as "chamois" and is possibly derived from an earlier Alpine language.Fossils of the genus Tossunnoria are found in late Miocene deposits in China; these fossils appear to have been transitional between goats and their ancestors. The genus Capra may have originated in Central Asia and spread to Europe, the Caucasus, and East Africa from the Pliocene and into the Pleistocene. Mitochondrial and Y chromosome evidence show hybridisation of species in this lineage. Fossils of the Alpine ibex dating from the last glacial period during the late Pleistocene have been found in France and Italy. The Alpine Ibex and the Iberian ibex (C. pyrenaica) probably evolved from the extinct Pleistocene species Capra camburgensis, whose fossils have been found in Germany. The Alpine ibex appears to have been larger during the Pleistocene than in the modern day.In the 20th century, the Nubian (C. nubiana), walia (C. walie), and Siberian ibex (C. sibirica) were considered to be subspecies of the Alpine ibex; populations in the Alps were given the trinomial of C. i. ibex. Genetic evidence from 2006 has supported the status of these Ibexes as separate species.The following cladogram of seven Capra species is based on 2022 mitochondrial evidence:Alpine ibexes are sexually dimorphic. Males grow to a height of 90 to 101 cm (35 to 40 in) at the withers with a body length of 149–171 cm (59–67 in) and weigh 67–117 kg (148–258 lb). Females are much smaller and have a shoulder height of 73–84 cm (29–33 in), a body length of 121–141 cm (48–56 in), and weigh 17–32 kg (37–71 lb).The Alpine ibex is a stocky animal with a tough neck and robust legs with short metapodials. Compared with most other wild goats, the species has a wide, shortened snout. Adaptations for climbing include sharp, highly separated hooves and a rubbery callus under the front feet. Both male and female Alpine ibexes have large, backwards-curving horns with an elliptical cross-section and a trilateral-shaped core. Transverse ridges on the front surface of the horns mark an otherwise flat surface. At 69–98 cm (27–39 in), the horns of males are substantially longer than those of females, which reach only 18–35 cm (7.1–13.8 in) in length.The species has brownish-grey hair over most of its body; this hair's colour is lighter on the belly, and there are dark markings on the chin and throat. The hair on the chest region is nearly black and there are stripes along the dorsal (back) surface. The Alpine ibex is duller-coloured than other members of its genus. As with other goats, only males have a beard. Ibexes moult in spring, when their thick winter coat consisting of woolly underfur is replaced with a short, thin summer coat. Their winter coat grows back in the autumn. As in other members of Capra, the Alpine ibex has glands near the eyes, groin and feet but there are none on the face.The Alpine ibex is native to the Alps of central Europe; its range includes France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Germany, and Austria. Fossils of the species have been found as far south as Greece, where it became locally extinct over 7,500 years ago due to human predation. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the species disappeared from much of its range due to hunting, leaving by the 19th century one surviving population in and around Gran Paradiso, Italy. The species has since been reintroduced into parts of its former range, as well as new areas such as Slovenia and Bulgaria.The Alpine Ibex is an excellent climber; it occupies steep, rough terrain at elevations of 1,800 to 3,300 m (5,900 to 10,800 ft). It prefers to live an open areas but when there is little snow, and depending on population density, adult males may gather in larch and mixed larch-spruce woodland. Outside the breeding season, the sexes live in separate habitats. Females are more likely to be found on steep slopes while males prefer more-level ground. Males inhabit lowland meadows during the spring, when fresh grass appears, and climb to alpine meadows during the summer. In early winter, both males and females move to steep, rocky slopes to avoid dense buildups of snow. Alpine ibexes prefer slopes of 30–45°, and take refuge in small caves and overhangs.The Alpine ibex is strictly herbivorous; its diet consists mostly of grass, which is preferred all year; during the summer, ibexes supplement their diet with herbs, while during autumn and winter they also eat dwarf shrubs and conifer shoots. The most-commonly eaten grass genera are Agrostis, Avena, Calamagrostis, Festuca, Phleum, Poa, Sesleria, and Trisetum. In the spring, animals of both sexes spend about the same amount of time feeding during the day, while in summer, females, particularly those that are lactating, eat more than males. High temperatures cause heat stress in large adult males, reducing their feeding time, but they may avoid this problem by feeding at night.In Gran Paradiso, home ranges of the Alpine Ibex can exceed 700 ha (1,700 acres) and in reintroduced populations, home ranges may approach 3,000 ha (7,400 acres). Home-range size depends on the availability of resources and the time of year. Home ranges tend to be largest during summer and autumn, smallest in winter, and intermediate in spring. Females' home ranges are usually smaller than those of males. Ibexes do not hibernate during the winter; they take shelter on cold winter nights and bask in the mornings. They also reduce their heart rate and metabolism. The Alpine ibex may compete for resources with chamois and red deer; the presence of these species may force the ibex to occupy high elevations. The Alpine ibex's climbing ability is such that it has been observed scaling the 57-degree slopes of the Cingino Dam in Piedmont, Italy, where it licks salts. Only females and kids, which are lighter and have shorter legs than adult males, will climb the steep dam. Kids have been observed at 49 m (161 ft), ascending in a zig-zag path while descending in straight paths.The Alpine ibex is a social species but it tends to live in groups that are based on sex and age. For most of the year, adult males group separately from females, and older males live separately from young males. Female groups consist of 5–10 members and male groups usually have 2–16 members but sometimes have more than 50. Dependent kids live with their mothers in female groups. Segregation between the sexes is a gradual process; males younger than nine years may still associate with female groups. Adult males, particularly older males, are more likely to be found alone than females. Social spacing tends to be looser in the summer, when there is more room to feed. Ibexes have stable social connections; they consistently regroup with the same individuals when ecological conditions force them together. Female groups tend to be more stable than male groups.In the breeding season, which occurs in December and January, adult males and females gather together, and separate again in April and May. Among males, a dominance hierarchy based on size, age, and horn length exists. Hierarchies are established outside the breeding season, allowing males to focus more on mating and less on fighting. Males use their horns for combat; they will bash the sides of rivals or clash head-to-head, the latter often involves them standing bipedally and clashing downwards.Alpine ibexes communicate mainly through short, sharp whistles that serve mostly as alarm calls and may occur singularly or in succession with short gaps. Females and their young communicate by bleating.The mating season begins in December and typically lasts for around six weeks. During this time, male herds break up into smaller groups and search for females. The rut takes place in two phases; in the first phase, males interact with females as a group and in the second phase, one male separates from his group to follow a female in oestrus. Dominant males between nine and twelve years old follow a female and guard her from rivals while subordinate, younger males between two and six years old try to sneak past the tending male when he is distracted. If the female flees, both dominant and subordinate males will try to follow her. During courtship, the male stretches the neck, flicks the tongue, curls the upper lip, urinates, and sniffs the female. After copulation, the male rejoins his group and restarts the first phase of the rut. Environmental conditions can affect courtship in the species; for example, snow can limit the males' ability to follow females and mate with them.The female is in oestrus for around 20 days and gestation averages around five months, and typically results in the birth of one or sometimes two kids. Females give birth away from their social groups on rocky slopes that are relatively safe from predators. After a few days, the kids can move on their own. Mothers and kids gather into nursery groups, where young are nursed for up to five months. Nursery groups can also include non-lactating females. Alpine ibexes reach sexual maturity at 18 months but females continue to grow until they are around five or six years old, and males are nine to eleven years old.The horns grow throughout life. Young are born without horns, which become visible as tiny tips at one month and reach 20–25 mm (0.8–1.0 in) in the second month. In males, the horns grow at about 8 cm (3.1 in) per year for the first five-and-a-half years, slowing to half that rate once the animal reaches 10 years of age. The slowing of horn growth in males coincides with aging. The age of an ibex can be determined by annual growth rings in the horns, which stop growing in winter.Male Alpine Ibexes live for around 16 years while females live for around 20 years. The species has a high adult survival rate compared with other herbivores around its size. In one study, all kids reached two years of age and the majority of adults lived for 13 years, although most 13-year-old males did not reach the age of 15. Alpine ibexes have a low rate of predation; their mountain habitat keeps them safe from predators like wolves, though golden eagles may prey on young. In Gran Paradiso, causes of death are old age, lack of food, and disease. They are also killed by avalanches.Alpine ibexes may suffer necrosis and fibrosis caused by the bacteria Brucella melitensis, and foot rot caused by Dichelobacter nodosus. Infections from Mycoplasma conjunctivae damage the eye via keratoconjunctivitis and can lead to death rates of up to 30%. Ibexes can host gastrointestinal parasite]s such as coccidia, strongyles, Teladorsagia circumcincta, and Marshallagi amarshalli as well as lungworms, mainly Muellerius capillaris. Several individuals have died from heart diseases, including arteriosclerosis, cardiac fibrosis, sarcosporidiosis, and valvular heart disease.During the Middle Ages, the Alpine ibex ranged throughout the Alpine region of Europe. Starting in the early 16th century, the overall population declined due almost entirely to hunting by humans, especially with the introduction of firearms. By the 19th century, only around 100 individuals remained in and around Gran Paradiso in north-west Italy and on the Italian-French border. In 1821, the Government of Piedmont banned hunting of the Alpine ibex and in 1854, Victor Emmanuel II declared Gran Paradiso a royal hunting reserve. In 1920, his grandson Victor Emmanuel III of Italy donated the land to the state of Italy and it was established as a national park. By 1933, the Alpine ibex population reached 4,000 but subsequent mismanagement by the Fascist government caused it to drop to around 400 by 1945. Their protection improved after the war and by 2005, there were 4,000 in the national park. In the late 20th century, the Gran Paradiso population was used for reintroductions into other parts of Italy.Starting in 1902, several Alpine ibexes from Gran Paradiso were taken into captive facilities in Switzerland for selective breeding and reintroduction into the wild. Until 1948, translocated founder animals were captive-bred. Afterwards, there were reintroductions of wild-born specimens from established populations in Piz Albris, Le Pleureur, and Augstmatthorn. These gave rise to the populations in France and Austria. Alpine ibexes also recolonised areas on their own. The Alpine ibex population reached 3,020 in 1914, 20,000 in 1991, and 55,297 in 2015, and by 1975, the species occupied much of its medieval range. In the 1890s, ibexes were introduced to Slovenia despite the lack of evidence of their presence there following the last glacial period. In 1980, ibexes were translocated to Bulgaria.Between 2015 and 2017, there were around 9,000 ibexes in 30 colonies in France, over 17,800 individuals and 30 colonies in Switzerland, over 16,400 ibexes in 67 colonies in Italy, around 9,000 in 27 colonies in Austria, around 500 in five colonies in Germany, and almost 280 ibexes and four colonies in Slovenia. As of 2020, the IUCN considers the Alpine ibex to be of Least Concern with a stable population trend. It was given a recovery score of 79%, making it "moderately depleted". While the species would likely have gone extinct without conservation efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries, as of 2021, it has a low conservation dependence. According to the IUCN, without current protections, the population decline of the species would be minimal. Some countries allow limited hunting.Having gone through a genetic bottleneck, the Alpine ibex population has low genetic diversity and is at risk of inbreeding depression. A 2020 analysis found highly deleterious mutations were lost in these new populations but they had also gained mildly deleterious ones. The genetic purity of the species may be threatened by hybridisation with domestic goats, which have been allowed to roam in the Alpine Ibex's habitat. The genetic bottleneck of populations may increase vulnerability to infectious diseases because their immune system has low major histocompatibility complex diversity. In the Bornes Massif region of the French Alps, management actions, including a test-and-cull program to control outbreaks, effectively reduced Brucella infection prevalence in adult females from 51% in 2013 to 21% in 2018, and active infections also significantly declined.The Alpine ibex is called the steinbock, which originated from the Old High German word steinboc, literally "stone buck". Several European names for the animal developed from this, including the French bouquetin and the Italian stambecco. The Alpine ibex is one of many animals depicted in the art of the Late Pleistocene-era Magdalenian culture in Western Europe. Local people used Ibexes for traditional medicine; the horn material was used to counter cramps, poisoning, and hysteria, while the blood was thought to prevent stones from developing in the bladder. The species' value as a source of medicine led to its near extinction. Since its recovery, the Alpine ibex has been seen as a resilient symbol of the mountain range. The species is depicted on the coat of arms of the Swiss canton of Grisons.Alpine Ibex European Specialist Group (GSE-AIESG)This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Saturday, 20 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Alpine ibex on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Gregory.

Over 200 years ago Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France. Among Pasteur's major contributions and their benefit to society, the most important is the heat treatment of foods and beverages to reduce spoilage and eliminate pathogens for consumers. Probably the greatest achievement of Pasteur was the process that bears the name of this famous scientist who perfected the technique: pasteurization. For liquids, this process does not involve boiling the product to sterility but simply applying just enough heat (ie, par-boiling) to 50–60°C for a specified period to reduce spoilage microbes and potential pathogens. Pathogenic microbes have a lower heat tolerance than most other bacteria. Recognizing that many individuals, from the highly educated to the peasantry, were aware of the effect, it took someone like Pasteur to formalize this knowledge into specific time-temperature standards to assure consistency.  Unpasteurized foods are sold even though they have not been treated with high temperatures. Foods that haven't been pasteurized include:  raw milk some artisanal cheeses some unpasteurized versions of juices and meats Many food safety concerns and a high risk of foodborne illness are associated with eating unpasteurized foods, although there may be a few benefits. Still, evidence indicates that the health risks appear to outweigh any potential benefits in most cases. Here are the benefits and downsides of unpasteurized food products. Benefits of eating unpasteurized foods Unpasteurized food is more likely to retain its organoleptic properties and may sometimes have greater nutritional value. The term “organoleptic properties” refers to the food's taste, appearance, and smell. Exposure to high temperatures during pasteurization not only kills harmful bacteria and viruses in foods. It may also negatively affect the nutritional quality, appearance, and flavor of the food. For instance, some research demonstrated that pasteurization reduced the protective antibodies and immune-supportive vitamin C and zinc in donor human milk.  However, other research shows that these nutrient losses in human milk are minor and that the benefits of pasteurization are greater than the risks.  Downsides of eating unpasteurized foods Unpasteurized foods are associated with the occurrence of foodborne illnesses from bacteria, such as Brucella, Cryptosporidium, Listeria monocytogenes, and antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In particular, scientific literature frequently mentions that unpasteurized milk and dairy products are particularly high risk foods and common causes of these foodborne illnesses.  These bacterial infections may last from days to weeks. Effects range from mild symptoms — like fever, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle aches, abdominal pain, and poor appetite — to severe outcomes like miscarriage and even death.  Unpasteurized foods present even greater health risks and are more dangerous to people with compromised immune systems, such as older adults, pregnant people, young children, and those with health conditions like cancer. Summary Unpasteurized foods are slightly more likely to retain natural tastes, appearances, flavors, and nutrients, but they are strongly associated with foodborne illnesses.

In this special episode of Veterinary Ramblings, we delve into a pressing issue currently affecting the veterinary industry. Our guest, Louise Buckley, takes centre stage as she shares her unique perspective on the treatment of dogs and their owners in relation to Brucella Canis.Louise, a former registered veterinary nurse, made the bold decision to remove herself from the Register of Veterinary Nurses held by the RCVS as a protest against the profession's approach to this matter. Driven by her unwavering commitment to animal welfare, Louise believes that she can make a more significant impact by voicing her concerns freely outside the boundaries of the professional code of conduct.During our enlightening conversation, Louise reveals her personal journey and the factors that led her to take this unprecedented step. Together, we explore the complex nuances surrounding Brucella Canis and the challenges faced by affected dogs and their owners. It's an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this critical issue from someone who has been directly involved.We would like to emphasize the importance of compassion and open dialogue within the veterinary community. We acknowledge the divisive nature of this topic and encourage listeners to engage in constructive conversations rather than engage in heated arguments. While Louise's views are her own and may not necessarily reflect those of the podcast, we firmly believe in providing a fair and impartial platform for individuals to share their stories.Join us as we shed light on the Brucella Canis crisis and the passionate voices advocating for change. Together, let's foster a community that prioritizes the well-being of animals and works towards a better future in veterinary care.To follow Louise's story,  head over to  'Brucella Canis Former RVN resigned under protest' on Facebook.Please note: Louise has brought to our attention that a further explanation of positive predictive value (PPV) is required to clarify what this means for the dogs involved as many people will not realise what a PPV is or what it means for interpreting the test.PPV is in relation to dogs that have tested positive already, rather than dogs that have not yet been tested. It relates to the question that veterinary professionals need to ask once they have a dog with a positive result in front of them: "Given that this dog has tested positive, what is the probability that this is a true positive?" The answer is the PPV of the test in this situation and the value of the PPV interacts with both the specificity of the disease and with the prevalence of the disease among the population of interest.In the case of the Dogs Trust data presented in this presentation, the answer is that if the specificity is 99% (the APHA claim this figure for their parallel testing SAT and iELISA combined approach), and the prevalence of Brucella Canis is 1% (based on the Dogs Trust data and corrected to reflect excess cases above the expected rate of false positives), roughly 1 in 2 dogs will be a true positive, and 1 in 2 dogs will be a false positive. This is very different to a claim that one in two UNTESTED dogs will test positive and important that listeners appreciate this.Support the show

3.17 Brucella Species Microbiology review for the USMLE Step 1 exam Brucella species are gram-negative intracellular coccobacilli that are spread from animals to humans, causing a zoonotic infection called Brucellosis. B. melitensis is the most common species that causes infection in humans and is also the most virulent. Brucella only requires a very small dose (10-100 bacteria) to cause full-blown disease, often spread through contaminated unpasteurized milk or contact with animal carcasses. "Bruce Wayne's goat, Brucella Wayne, helps him SLAUGHTER bad guys" Symptoms include cyclical fever and chills, general malaise, headaches, joint pain, and nausea and vomiting. Diagnosis can be confirmed through blood cultures and PCR. Treatment involves antibiotics, typically doxycycline for a course of 6 weeks. People most at risk for infection include those who drink unpasteurized goat milk and those who work with animal carcasses, such as slaughterhouse workers.  

3.04 Gram Negative Bacteria   Microbiology review for the USMLE Step 1 Exam.   Gram negative bacteria are characterized by a thin cell wall surrounded by a lipid outer membrane They do not retain the violet gram stain and appear pink after staining Gram negative bacteria can be classified by shape: cocci, coccobacilli, bacilli, and spirals Gram negative cocci include Neisseria species, which can be further categorized as maltose fermenters or non maltose fermenters Gram negative coccobacilli include: Bordetella pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae, Pasteurella, Francisella tularensis, Brucella, and Acinetobacter Gram negative bacilli can be divided into lactose fermenting and non lactose fermenting categories Lactose fermenting gram negative bacilli include: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, and Serratia Non lactose fermenting gram negative bacilli can be further divided into oxidase positive and oxidase negative Oxidase positive non lactose fermenting gram negative bacilli include Pseudomonas Oxidase negative non lactose fermenting gram negative bacilli include Shigella, Yersinia, and Salmonella Gram negative spirals can be divided into oxidase positive and oxidase negative categories Oxidase positive gram negative spirals include Vibrio species, Helicobacter pylori, and Campylobacter jejuni Oxidase negative gram negative spirals include Borrelia burgdorferi (cause of lyme disease) and Treponema pallidum (cause of syphilis)

Brucellosis is among the leading communicable diseases worldwide and the disease poses a substantial public health burden in the Middle East, resulting in long-term illness in humans and significant economic loss in livestock production. In addition, some Brucella sp are classified as Category B bioterrorism agents by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. My guest today was awarded a $3 million grant by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the U.S. Department of Defense to study one of the most important infectious diseases in humans and livestock in Iraq. Joining me today to discuss brucellosis and the work in Iraq is Jeff Foster, Ph.D. Dr. Foster is an associate professor at Northern Arizona University's Pathogen and Microbiome Institute.

Technology and good biosecurity practices can protect you from big losses when it comes to Ovine Brucellosis.  Colin Chapman, Professor and Dorset Downs stud breeder leads us through the best ways to tackle and prevent this mostly hidden from view infection. What is Ovine Brucellosis? It's caused by a bacteria called Brucella Ovus, which is one of several different types of Brucella.  “It lives only in sheep, it doesn't live on the ground or in the water.  It spends it's entire life cycle in sheep, which fortunately makes it easier to control because you don't have to eradicate it in the environment as well” he explains.  Ovine Brucellosis (OB) quite different to Bovine Brucellosis, which causes the cow to become sick and abort their calf.  The cow and calf are both infected with this type of Brucellosis, and it's also infectious to humans.  Bovine Brucellosis has now been eradicated in Australia. What problems does it cause in sheep? When Brucellosis is in your flock of sheep you don't notice it.  “The sheep are not unwell What you do notice is that you will have a drop in fertility and the ewes don't have as many lambs as expected.  A reduction in lambing percentage over time could indicate that it is present in your flock”, says Colin.  Colin goes on to explain that on closer inspection you may find that the rams have lumps and bumps in the testicles, but apart from palpating the testicles of the rams there is nothing to see. It is mostly invisible except for the records which show a reduction in lambing percentage. How does it reduce lambing percentages? OB reduces fertility in the rams by causing a blockage in the tubules from the testes up to the penis.  In the two testicles one side might be blocked but the other side may be open.  So a ram can be partially infertile or totally infertile, which you can't tell by the palpation.  Once  OB gets into the reproductive tract it stays there.  All rams that are sexually active regardless of age are vulnerable. What about the ewes and wethers? Colin explains that ewes that are mated with infected rams will possibly have the bacteria present in the vagina and uterus for a brief period of time but normally with no adverse affect.  It does not cause any blockage as ewes or wethers don't have testes.  It may cause local inflammation in a ewe but that will pass.  The ewe is not a carrier Colin assures.  The presence of the bacteria in a ewe will be resolved usually in a day or two.  So unless there is more than one ram around the same ewe in a short period of time the bacteria would not be passed from the ewe to another ram.  This would be considered an unlikely way for it to be transmitted, it is usually ram to ram transmission through homosexual activity. OB comes onto a property when someone buys a new ram that is infected and puts it in with their ram flock.  Doing this without prior quarantine and testing can infect a whole flock of rams within days or weeks.Teasers can in theory be at risk or a source of infection, as they still have the testes in tact.    How do I check my flock for Brucellosis? If you have had a reduction in lambing percentage then the next step would be for your rams to be checked.  This involves palpating the testes to feel for lumps and bumps.  If there is any on the testes or around the tubes, pea size or bigger, then that would prompt a further investigation.  The next step would be to take a blood test which tells us if that ram has ever been exposed to the Brucellis Ovus bacteria, which shows up by the presenc

Thank you for listening to another episode of DWP! Brucella is an ancient bacteria that is the cause of brucellosis, a zoonosis commonly transferee to a host through contaminated milk or animal products. But something far less known about Brucellosis is that the Nazis weaponized a synthetic version and more than likely brought their research to the US under Paperclip. Is this the cause of covid? We have heard all kinds of theories even from the MSM and nothing explains its origin definitively. In this episode, Ryan throws a theory around from Jim Marrs' book “the Trillion Dollar Conspiracy,” claiming this weapon could be the reason for most of not all human ailments. We take it a step further and acknowledge the possibility that the Rona or jabs could be a lethal strain of the 200+ known strains. Nick from Australia comes on and talks about the total power grab going on in his great country and we learn quite a bit about what the possible fate of other areas could be.

Episodio 5: ¿Cómo controlar la Brucella abortus? En este episodio abordamos diferentes formas de controlar a la Brucella Abortus en el hato bovino. Primero, explicamos la vacunación, en este tema desglosamos los tipos de vacunas, su efectividad y seguridad. En segundo lugar, trabajamos en el uso de pruebas serológicas y la interferencia de las vacunas en estas, teniendo un impacto en el proceso de descarte de animales en el hato. Invitados/as: Jorge Luis Zambrano Varón, profesor asociado a la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia Créditos: Dirección: Luis Joaquín Polo Terán Producción sonora: Gecko Gómez Cubides Investigación y Presentación: Juan Manuel Ortega Cardona, Nataly Arias Sánchez, Tamara Arce Pulido.

Temporada 2: Brucelosis bovina una zoonosis subestimada. Esta temporada trata de la brucelosis bovina, una enfermedad compartida entre humanos y bovinos. El centro de esta es la ruralidad colombiana, por medio de la serie se busca educar a los productores de leche, veterinarios y consumidores de leche y derivados lácteos acerca de la importancia y los vacíos que hoy se tienen en el estado actual de la enfermedad. Episodio 2: ¿Por qué es importante que nos escuchen? La mayoría de productores de leche en nuestro país tienen hatos pequeños. La resolución 075495 del 2020 establece las condiciones para certificar los hatos lecheros como libres de Brucella, que es la condición ideal para la comercialización de los productos lácteos. Sin embargo, esta ignora las condiciones de nuestros productores haciendo muy difícil para ellos su certificación. Esto nos acerca a la problemática viéndola desde la perspectiva del campesino, es importante que como médicos veterinarios e integrantes de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia tengamos un acercamiento a la realidad del campo para visibilizar las problemáticas y poder fortalecer esta área tan importante en nuestro país.

Podcast Teaching Guide Topic: Raw Milk Host: Brandon Roy Guests: Mark Foley Randy and Robin Pope Objectives I can explain the difference between Raw and Processed (pasteurized) Milk. I can describe why many states and organizations do not sell or produce Raw Milk products. Question for teacher to ask students before podcast: Did you know that Milk is “cooked” via pasteurization before it is sold at the grocery store? Do you think that pasteurization makes the Milk less healthy? Could we benefit from drinking Raw Milk instead? Questions for teacher to ask students after podcast: Why is processing (pasteurization) required for the sale of most dairy products? a. A student should be able to describe that bacteria present in raw milk has the potential to make people sick. Why do many individuals stand by their practice of drinking raw milk despite the risk? a. Students can discuss multiple factors, including but not limited to: bacteria present is healthy, loss of vitamins, taste, and texture. What do you think about this? Do you think people should be drinking raw milk? a. Student opinion question. Teacher Notes: Teacher should be prepared to discuss the the different types of bacteria that can be found in raw milk, listed below: Brucella, Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella Teacher should also be prepared to discuss the following two important terms: A. Milk Homogenization: a. Homogenization is a mechanical process that transforms the two, separate components of whole fresh milk– cream and low-fat milk–into one smooth beverage. To accomplish this, fresh milk is heated and pumped through tiny nozzles at high pressure. The pressure tears the fat globules of the cream into tiny particles, which then disperse evenly throughout the low-fat milk. Non-Homogenized milk will naturally separate into two layers of liquid milk and fatty cream. B. Milk Pasteurization a. Pasteurization is the process of heating milk up and then quickly cooling it down to eliminate certain bacteria. For effective pasteurization, milk can be heated up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or at least 161.6 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds Podcast Prompts for Students To Follow Along During Podcast Where does our first guest attend college? Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Milk is pasteurized because of __________ present in raw milk that can potentially make humans sick. Bacteria Which of these major vitamins is added to milk during processing? a. Vitamin B b. Vitamin C c. Vitamin D d. Vitamin E 4. Other than cows, the most common animal that humans drink milk from is __________ Goats 5. What is the name of the farm that our 2nd guests' own? Robin's Nest Farms 6. What is the name of the regulation program required for the sale of Raw Milk? Herd share, goat share, or cow-share

Bij een Nederlandse fokker zijn meerdere honden gevonden met een zeldzame ongeneeslijke ziekte. De ziekte wordt veroorzaakt door de bacterie Brucella canis en leidt onder meer tot onvruchtbaarheid en veel pijn bij honden. Tot 2016 was de bacterie nog nooit bij honden in Nederland vastgesteld. Het jaar daarna was er opeens een uitbraak bij meerdere geïmporteerde honden uit Oost-Europa. Nu gaat het om honden die hier zijn geboren. En dat leidt tot onrust bij hondenbezitters en dierenartsen. Els Broens is dierenarts en hoofd van het microbiologische laboratorium van de faculteit diergeneeskunde van de Universiteit Utrecht. Zij vindt dat we moeten controleren of geïmporteerde honden de bacterie bij zich dragen.

La polémica generada en torno a la leche cruda y la principal preocupación ¿pone en riesgo nuestra salud? Lo cierto es que sí. Primero de todo diferenciemos las leches:- La leche cruda es leche que no ha sido sometida a ningún tratamiento térmico. Es la leche que proviene directamente de la vaca y aun suponiendo que el consumidor la hierva el tiempo recomendado no se puede garantizar al 100% que desaparezca el riesgo de contaminación.- La leche pasteurizada, también conocida como leche fresca, se trata para tener una vida útil de varios días. Se calienta a 72ºC durante 15-20 segundos y se enfría rápidamente a 4ºC. - La leche uperizada o UHT, la esterilización se produce al calentarla a 150ºC durante uno o dos segundos.La leche cruda es un producto que hay que conservar en frío, pero no a cualquier temperatura sino entre 1 y 4ºC y da la casualidad de que muchos de nuestros refrigeradores mantienen la temperatura entre 4 y 8ºC.La bacteria que más preocupa a los especialistas españoles es la Brucella, responsable del desarrollo de brucelosis o fiebre de Malta. Su tratamiento es muy largo, con antibióticos menos habituales, y además puede ser mortal por una complicación. Al afectar a los pulmones y el sistema nervioso central puede provocar una neumonía o una meningitis.Desde el punto de vista nutricional no tiene prácticamente ninguna ventaja ya que hay algunas vitaminas que son sensibles a las altas temperaturas y que pueden disminuir pero no son las principales de la leche.Mi recomendación es clara: no consumas leche cruda.

Es la leche que proviene directamente de la vaca y aun suponiendo que el consumidor la hierva el tiempo recomendado no se puede garantizar al 100% que desaparezca el riesgo de contaminación.- La leche pasteurizada, también conocida como leche fresca, se trata para tener una vida útil de varios días. Se calienta a 72ºC durante 15-20 segundos y se enfría rápidamente a 4ºC. - La leche uperizada o UHT, la esterilización se produce al calentarla a 150ºC durante uno o dos segundos.La leche cruda es un producto que hay que conservar en frío, pero no a cualquier temperatura sino entre 1 y 4ºC y da la casualidad de que muchos de nuestros refrigeradores mantienen la temperatura entre 4 y 8ºC.La bacteria que más preocupa a los especialistas españoles es la Brucella, responsable del desarrollo de brucelosis o fiebre de Malta. Su tratamiento es muy largo, con antibióticos menos habituales, y además puede ser mortal por una complicación. Al afectar a los pulmones y el sistema nervioso central puede provocar una neumonía o una meningitis.Desde el punto de vista nutricional no tiene prácticamente ninguna ventaja ya que hay algunas vitaminas que son sensibles a las altas temperaturas y que pueden disminuir pero no son las principales de la leche.Mi recomendación es clara: no consumas leche cruda.

He was hospitalized for two weeks. A sneeze produces pressurized air that can explode at speeds of 100 miles per hour. In Dr. Friedman’s office, he’s seen patients come in with cracked ribs, debilitating headaches and herniated discs after sneezing. Dr. Friedman shares the best way to sneeze to protect yourself from being injured.Health Risks of Drinking Raw Cow’s MilkIf you have consumed raw cow’s milk, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says you need to see a doctor. The CDC was especially concerned that people who bought raw milk from a company called Udder Milk could be infected with a serious germ called Brucella abortus. They issued a national warning when a New Jersey woman became ill after drinking raw milk from the company. The infection can destroy the spleen, liver and heart valves and may eventually lead to death. Despite decades of government and industry propaganda about the health benefits of dairy products, unbiased science proves that cow’s milk is not healthy for humans (raw or pasteurized). Contrary to all those milk mustache ads, milk doesn’t build strong bones. In fact, research shows milk is a contributing factor to the cause of brittle bones. We are taught as children if we want to grow up big and strong we need to drink milk. Yet, children that drink milk get more chronic ear infections, have more allergies, are more likely to be overweight, and are at greater risk of diabetes. Dr. Friedman and Kim discuss why milk is not a good source of calcium and offer other, more beneficial foods the provide an appropriate calcium/magnesium ratio.Coffee Enemas Coffee Enemas are becoming trendy for health and well-being after actress Gweneth Paltrow featured an at-home device in her wellness magazine Goop. Many other celebrities have embraced coffee enemas for improving health, including Madonna and Suzanne Somers. Coffee enemas are a type of cleanse in which you insert coffee through the rectum into the colon. This therapy has been used as a remedy for everything from depression and autoimmune disease to allergies and even cancer. Dr. Friedman and Kim chime in on this latest trend and discuss the potential health risks, including infection, rectal burns, perforation, proctocolitis (inflammation of the rectum and colon) and even death. Oatmeal: Good or Bad? Research has proven oats can help lower cholesterol, balance blood sugar and reduce the risk of heart attacks. But, that isn't the whole story according to Paleo Diet advocates. They claim all grains are unhealthy and since "our caveman ancestors didn’t eat them, we shouldn’t either.” Dr. Friedman and Kim debunk this fad diet restriction and discuss the health benefits of adding oats to your diet.Sponsor:Now you can save money on your life insurance just for being healthy.

Im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte haben wir einige Substanzen entdeckt, oder im Labor erzeugt, die Süß schmecken, ohne jedoch Kalorien zu liefern. Manche dieser Substanzen haben sich als Gesundheitsschädlich erwiesen, manche scheinen unbedenklich zu sein. Als “neue” Süßstoffe am Markt haben sich in den letzten Jahren, die sogenannten Zuckeralkohole etabliert. Die Ergebnisse einer aktuelleren Studie regen zur Sorge an - könnte Erythrit etwas mit Übergewicht zu tun haben? Bevor wir auf den eigentlichen Artikel eingehen, möchte ich ein paar Worte zu Zucker und Süßstoffen generell loswerden. Generell ist erstrebenswert sich Süßigkeiten und Naschen abzugewöhnen. Egal ob Zucker oder Süßungsmittel, der Griff zum Goodie sollte die Ausnahme bilden. Nun zur aktuellen Studie: [Hootman, Katie C., et al. "Erythritol is a pentose-phosphate pathway metabolite and associated with adiposity gain in young adults." Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2017): 201620079.](http://www.pnas.org/content/114/21/E4233.abstract) Die Arbeit von Katie Hootman und Kollegen hat zu einem großen Aufschrei in der LCHF Gemeinde geführt. Erythrit soll zu Übergewicht führen, oder Übergewicht begünstigen? Kann denn das sein? Die Erythrit-Gegner haben auch nicht lange auf sich warten lassen und in der Studie eine Bestätigung der Grundsätzlichen Skepsis dem Zuckeralkohol mit dem suspekt wirkenden Namen gesehen. Erythrit, kann ja nicht gut sein, ist ja nicht „natürlich“ – oder doch? Aber dazu später. Erst einmal zur eigentlichen Studie. Was wurde gemacht und was waren die Ergebnisse?   Methode Untersucht wurden Collage Studenten (n=172) im Alter zwischen 18-19 Jahren. Die Auswahl der Teilnehmer war Randomisiert und auf gleichmäßige Verteilung der Geschlechter wurde geachtet. Erfasst wurden anthropometrische Daten, Blutplasma (nicht nüchtern) sowie die Körperzusammensetzung via DXA (dual -energy x-ray absorptiometry). Untersucht wurden verschiedene Metabolite (Stoffwechselprodukte) hinsichtlich ihrer möglichen Rolle als Prädiktor für die Entwicklung von Übergewicht. Die Studenten wurden dann hinsichtlich ihrer Fettmasse und dem Hba1c eingeteilt. Daraus ergaben sich 4 Phänotyp Gruppen: Fettmasse Zunahme in der Bauchregion (incident central adiposity gain) Stabiles Fettmasse (stable adiposity) Hba1c in den Top 25% Hba1c in den untersten 10% Ergebnisse der Studie Nach einem Jahr haben 75% der Studenten an Körpergewicht zugelegt. (>0.5kg). Bei 66 Teilnehmern konnten die Forscher eine Fettzunahme in der Bauchregion feststellen. Metabolite als Prädiktor für Fettzunahme in der Bauchregion Die Forscher haben sich verschiedene Metabolite angesehen. Neben Erythritol, auch Fructose, Lactat, Valin und Leucin. Es gab Unterscheide in allen genannten Metaboliten zwischen den Gruppen, allerdings erreicht nur Erythritol das Signifikanzlevel. Interessant ist, dass die höchsten Eryhtritol Konzentrationen in der Gruppe zu finden waren, mit der geringsten Zunahme an Bauchfett. Während die niedrigsten Erythritol Werte in der Gruppe mit den Größten Veränderungen der Bauchfettmasse zu beobachten waren. Eigensynthese von Erythritol Nimmt man Erythrit über die Nahrung auf, dann werden 90 – 95% über den Harn ausgeschieden. 5 – 10% werden zu Eryhtronat oxidiert. Der menschliche Körper ist allerdings auch in der Lage Erythritol selber aus Glucose zu synthetisieren. Diskussion Die Autoren der Studie fanden signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen was Fructose und Erythritol Konzentrationen betrifft. Sie sehen eine positive Assoziation zwischen Erythritol im Plasma und dem Auftreten von Fettmassezuwachs in der Bauchregion. Weitere Untersuchungen werden benötigt um diese Ergebnisse verstehen zu können.   Assoziation ist kein ursächlicher Zusammenhang Soweit die Kurzfassung der Studie. Bevor wir die Ergebnisse weiter besprechen und in wie weit sie für uns relevant sind, ein paar Worte zu statistischen Zusammenhängen. Die Forscher sehen eine positive Assoziation. Das bedeutet, dass Wert A und Wert B gemeinsam auftreten, einen ursächlichen Zusammenhang kann man aus dieser Studie noch nicht ableiten. Wir können also nicht sagen: A verursacht B. Endogene Produktion vs. Exogene Exposition Was die Autoren der Studie auch bemerken ist, dass wir noch nicht wissen, was das mit der exogenen Aufnahme von Erythrit zu tun hat, und ob überhaupt. Das Erythrit, das die Autoren in den Blutproben gefunden haben, stammt ja aus endogener Synthese, und zwar aus Glucose. Jetzt kommen wir zu einem interessanten Punkt. Die Autoren schreiben, dass in bisherigen Studien nicht gezeigt werden konnte, dass Menschen Erythritol endogen synthetisieren können. Sie zitieren dazu eine Studie aus dem Jahr 1993 von Hiel et. al.[1] Dies scheint jedoch nicht mehr ganz aktuell zu sein. Bei weiterer Recherche stellt sich heraus, dass Erythrit von Föten diverser Wiederkäuer selbst produziert wird[2], und nicht nur von Wiederkäuern, sondern auch vom Menschen.   Erythrit und andere Polyole im menschlichen Fötus und der Plazenta 2005 im Journal „Pediatric Research“, welches zu Nature Publishing gehört, veröffentlichte Brusati et al. eine Arbeit mit dem Titel: „Fetal and Maternal Non-glucose Carbohydrates and Polyols Concentrations in Normal Human Pregnancies at Term“[3]. Andere Zucker und Zuckeralkohole wie Inositol, Sorbitol und Erythrit, sind wichtige Energielieferanten für das Ungeborene. Diese Zuckeralkohole finden sich in signifikanten Mengen in der Nabelschnur und, in geringeren Mengen, auch im Blut der Mutter. Besonders interessant ist, dass es zwischen Mutter und Fötus einen relativ großen Konzentrationsgradienten gibt. Dies unterstützt die Annahme, dass der Fötus selbst Polyole (Inositol, Sorbito und Erythritol) synthetisiert. […] Finally, that polyol concentrations are elevated sufficiently in fetal blood to lead to the establishment of relatively large fetal–maternal concentration gradients for polyols such as inositol, sorbitol, and erythritol suggests that the trophoblast may be relatively impermeable to these compounds. The presence of large fetal–maternal concentration ratios for the polyols also suggests that the reduction of sugars to their corresponding alcohols is favored. The role of the polyols in developing tissues is currently unknown. […]   Erythrit in Samen und Reproduktionsorganen Die biologische Bedeutung von Polyolen hat zugenommen, da man größere Mengen in Samen und Reproduktionsorganen findet [4] [5].  Erythritol Produktion beim Rind, steigt mit Fortschreiten der Trächtigkeit an und erreicht einen Peak in der Mitte der Trächtigkeit[6]. Die Bedeutung und der Fokus der Forscher auf Erythritol, gerade in der Veterinärmedizin, hat einen etwas mit einem Bakterium namens Brucella zu tun. Brucellen sind kurze, stabförmige Bakterien. Sie kommen in Geschlechtsorganen und Harntrackt von Rindern, Schafen und Schweinen vor. Sie führen, unter anderem, zu Placentitis, Frühgeburten[7] und Vergrößerung der Geschlechtsorgane. Brucellen haben eine besondere Vorliebe für Erythritol entwickelt. Mit steigender Erythritolkonzentration, steigt auch die Anfälligkeit für eine Brucelleninfektion. Das heißt jetzt nicht, dass Erythritaufnahme über die Nahrung zu einer Brucelleninfektion führt. Die metabolische Besonderheit der Geschlechtsorgane, liefern Nährstoffe, die dem Stoffwechsel von Brucella sehr entgegenkommen. So etwas nennt man auch Parasite-Host Co-Evolution. Erythritol im Serum als Indikator für Übergewicht Welche Rolle könnte Erythritol im Serum nun als Marker für Übergewicht spielen? Das ist ja die zentrale Frage. Wir wissen nun, dass die endogene Synthese von Erythritol nicht wirklich etwas Ungewöhnliches ist und sehr wohl im Menschen bereits beschrieben wurde. Erythritol ist besonders hoch konzentriert in Samen, Geschlechtsorganen, Plazenta, Nabelschnurblut und im Fötus selbst. Erythritol, und andere Polyole dürften eine Rolle in sich entwickelnden Geweben spielen. Mannose ist zum Beispiel notwendig für die Synthese von Glycoproteinen und Glycophospholipiden[8]. Die signifikant höheren Plasmalevel von Erythritol in der Gruppe, die eine deutliche Zunahme an Bauchfettmasse hatten, gegenüber der Gruppe mit stabiler Adipositas, sind interessant und könnten ein Hinweis auf Fehlregulation im PPP (Penthosephosphat Pathway) sein. Bei Übergewicht und Fettleibigkeit sehen wir oft, dass Signalwege überexpremiert werden, welche Zellwachstum, Proliferation und generell anabole Prozesse regulieren. Ähnliches könnte auch hier der Fall sein. Endogene Erythritsynthese könnte auch ein Marker für gestörte Energiegewinnung sein. Wird aus Glucose-6-Phospaht nicht Pyruvat, sondern vermehrt Erythritol synthetisiert, könnte das auch ein Hinweis auf eine gestörte Glycolyse sein. Eine andere Hypothese, die ich nicht allzu weit hergeholt finde, wäre die der Dysbiose. Wir wissen, dass Bakterien in unserem Darm eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung von Übergewicht spielen. Erythritolsynthese wurde zuerst bei Bakterien beschrieben. Es wäre durchaus denkbar, dass das Erythritol im Plasma seinen eigentlichen Ursprung in bakterieller Synthese im Darmlumen hat, von dort, über eine gestörte Barrierefunktion der Darmwand, in das Blut übertritt und aus diesem Grund dort auch nachweisbar ist. Ähnliches sehen wir bei Lipopolysacchariden (LPS). LPS sind Bestandteile der Zellmembran von Gram-negativen Bakterien. Sie provozieren eine starke Immunantwort und können im Plasma nachgewiesen werden. Fazit Abschließend bleibt zu sagen, dass wir eigentlich noch nicht wirklich viel wissen. Von der Beobachtung höherer Erythritolwerte im Plasma bei Übergewichtigen, zu der Vermutung, Erythrit fördert Übergewicht – das ist schon ein sehr großer Schritt und höchst spekulativ. Ich denke aber, es ist eine spannende Beobachtung, die definitiv weiterer Forschung bedarf. Vor allem im Hinblick auf meine Alternativhypothesen was die Aktivierung von Wachstumsfaktoren, die Fehlregulation der Energiegewinnung oder sogar die bakterielle Komponente betrifft.

På Världsvattenveckan i Stockholm möter vi Tony Allan som fick vattenpriset 2008. Tony Allan har unika kunskaper som blivit högaktuella. Det handlar om Libyen. Redan 1966 kom han till Libyen för att för sin doktorsavhandling studera hur grundvattnet sjönk uppe vid den libyska medelhavsskusten. Det var tre år innan Muhammar Kadaffi grep makten. Just det sjunkande grundvattnet ledde fram till Kadaffis kanske största monument, the Great man made river, den stora människoskapade floden. På den officiella hemsidan kallas den världens 8:e underverk. Det är ett enormt system av runt 800 djupa brunnar i öknen i södra Libyen, och ur de här brunnarna pumpar man upp fossilt vatten som sedan rinner i gigantiska rör, pipelines, norrut upp till medelhavskusten där de flesta libyer bor. 70% av befolkningen får sitt vatten från dessa ökenbrunnar. Tony Allan menar att Great man made river är Kadaffis största monument, ett våldsamt överdimensionerat system som blivit på tok för dyrt. Tony Allan som är vattenforskare och professor vid School of Oriental and African studies vid Kings college i London. En annan person med väldigt bra koll på Libyens stora vattenprojekt är Anders Nilsson. Efter det att han tog sin civilingejörsexamen på KTH 1980 jobbade han med oljeborrning för oljebolaget Shell. Men sedan 25 år är han bosatt i Benghazi i Libyen. Hans familjeföretag jobbar främst med att borra efter vatten i den libyska öknen. Numera är han också tillförordnad svensk konsul i Libyen. Under revolutionen och inbördeskriget har vi hört honom många gånger i både Ekot och Studio ett, där han har kommenterat den våldsamma utvecklingen. Men till vardags jobbar Anders Nilsson alltså med vattenborrning men också med underhåll på Great man made river. Forskningen på kroniskt trötthetssyndrom gör framsteg. För många människor som ständigt är trötta lyckas läkarna inte hitta någon bakomliggande orsak. De får idag ofta diagnosen kroniskt trötthetssyndrom, och enligt vissa forskare kan så många som 30 000 svenskar vara drabbade. Tidigare har drabbade ofta avfärdats, och man har betraktat kroniskt trötthetssyndrom som något helt psykologiskt. Men allt mer forskning pekar på att det skett verkliga biologiska förändringar i kroppen hos den som är drabbad. Man har länge vetat att infektioner kan utlösa vissa sjukdomar, som till exempel diabetes typ 1 eller multipel skleros. På samma sätt verkar ungefär tio procent av dem som drabbas av en allvarlig infektion, få bestående problem i form av kroniskt trötthetssyndorm, säger Susan Vernon som är i många år lett forskningen om kroniskt trötthetssyndrom på amerikanska smittskyddsmyndigheten. Vissa framsteg har gjorts - i våras publicerades forskning som visade att man kan mäta skillnader i hjärnaktivitet hos personer med kronisk trötthet. Enbart utifrån så kallade EEG-mätningar kunde forskarna se skillnad på personer med kronisk trötthet, och personer som led av depression, och andra som var fullt friska. Vi hör Lena Steinbüchel, som lider av kroniskt trötthetssyndrom och Per Julin som driver ett nystartat forskningsprojekt vid Danderyds sjukhus. Nyheter i korthet. Det första svenska fallet av den smittsamma hundsjukdomen, Brucella canis som gör hundar sterila eller gör att tikar föder döda valpar, har upptäckts hos en tik i Perstorp i Skåne. Tiken har avlivats och sjukdomen beskrivs som en mardröm för hunduppfördare Den smittade tiken var importerad från Polen och den hane som misstänkt ha smittat henne är född i Serbien. Sjukdomen sprids framför allt via parning. En kinesisk studie har visat en ökning av antalet fall av narkolepsi efter att HIN1-influensan drabbade främst pekingområdet. Infektionen i sig har bedömts kunna öka risken för sjukdomen. Studieresultaten motsäger inte slutsatsen från studier i Sverige att det finns ett samband mellan vaccination med Pandemrix och en ökad risk för narkolepsi hos barn och ungdomar, men pekar på möjligheten att H1N1 influensa skulle kunna vara en samverkande faktor. Förmänniskan Homo erectus kan ha varit den första kocken.
