Brucellosis or CHV? Deadly Diseases for Puppies Dr. Marty Greer joins host Laura Reeves for a Veterinary Voice topic that can be devastating for breeders and deadly for puppies. Brucellosis and CHV (Canine Herpes Virus) can both decimate a litter. “If you lose even a single puppy in a litter, have testing done on that puppy,” Greer said. “Have a necropsy done of some form at your vet clinic or at a referral center or at a reference lab, so that you find out what happened because you can't learn from it if you bury your mistakes. You can't learn anything and you can't move your breeding program forward until you know what happened. “There is no diagnosis of fadubg puppy syndrome. So if your vet says that's what you have, you need to find another vet or dig a little harder with the one you're working with. Because you need to find out what happened. “Brucellosis hasn't gone away. There's no vaccine for it. So yes, you can have anything from a normal looking bitch and a normal looking stud dog to a stud dog that has inflamed testicles. You can see normal adult dogs develop brucellosis symptoms. “These can be uveitis, which is inflammation of the eye. They can be disco spondylitis, which is inflammation of a disc. So if you go in for a diagnosis at your vet clinic and you have certain symptoms, even in a normal dog that isn't a breeding dog they may test for brucellosis because it can cause other diseases. “In bitches we can see anything from apparent infertility where she looks like she didn't conceive but she actually conceived and lost the litter, to puppies that are born weak that died shortly thereafter, puppies that are born normal and die afterwards, bitches that have infertility. It is shared through venereal spread, which is male to female breeding, but it can be spread through any body fluid. So urine, placentas, all those things. “Brucellosis survives freezing semen, so it doesn't even get killed at that -300° that we see semen frozen at. So you need to be aware that when we say you should test for brucellosis, we're not joking around. You should test for brucellosis.” Listen in for more information.

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.

Send us a textDr. Scott Leibsle graduated from the University of Wisconsin but now serves as Idaho's State Veterinarian with the Idaho Department of Agriculture. Dr. Leibsle talks about how each state deals with different issues based on their location and the animals raised in those locations. In Idaho, his office is forever on the watch for Brucellosis from neighboring Yellowstone Park. He clarifies how the avian bird flu raised the alarm in 2024 and shares how a shortage of large animal veterinarians is a worry now and for the future.

What is a common-sense approach to testing for Tick-borne infection. I focus on the most common infections that I see a Lyme disease infection. I order a Lyme disease test as well as test for infections like Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis, and Babesia. I don't typically order Mycoplasma or Chlamydia unless there is evidence that there's active infection.  I order an ELISA test, which is also called Lyme titer.  I also order a western blot and IgG and IgM test. These are test where you need two out of three bands IgM bands. You need five out of 10 IgG bands to be called positive by the CDC criteria. These are bands that were identified and in 1994 at a consensus meeting in Dearborn Michigan.  These markers are protein that have been identified in Lyme disease infections.  For example, the 41 kDa band represents a protein contained in the tail of a spirochete. I have not been ordering a C6 peptide or VlsE protein tests for Lyme disease as they are not as reliable as I would like.  None of these tests for Lyme disease are all that sensitive in my experience.  I have often had to use clinical judgement to diagnose and treat Lyme disease. I also order IgG and IgM tests for co-infections with Babesia, Bartonella, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichia. I have not found PCR tests for these co-infections as helpful as I would like. I have found a blood smear for Babesia not helpful if a patient has been sick more than 2 weeks.   Some doctors have assumed Bartonella tests have been positive due to exposure to fecal matter from mites living on cats. I can't be sure the cause of positive tests for Bartonella in patients with Lyme disease.  I don't typically ordered labs for infections such as tularemia or Brucellosis despite concerns by some of my colleagues. I have found treatment for Lyme disease would take care of these infections if they were present. I typically do not sent bloods to a specialty lab if someone's on a budget. I also do not send bloods to these labs if I am going to treat clinically.   I also order extensive testing to rule other illnesses like a CBC, comprehensive metabolic profile, ANA, RA, thyroid, sed rate, vitamin B12 and D.    I may order a free T4 and free T3 if I am considering a thyroid condition.  I have found ANA frustrating as most of the ANA tests are false positive. A positive dsDNA supports the diagnosis of lupus. My patients don't typically have three other conditions that would support the diagnosis of Lupus. I refer my patients to see a rheumatologist if there is a need to rule out lupus. I typical order blood test for a tick-borne illness four weeks or 4 to 6 weeks after onset of their illness to increase the chances that I might get a positive test.  I have had to use clinical judgement to treat a tick-borne infection if my patient is sick for less than 4 weeks or if I suspect a false negative test,

As the National Mammal and a symbol closely tied to the National Park Service and the national parks, bison are highly revered in the United States. But that doesn't mean they're free of controversy. Recently the staff at Yellowstone National Park released the Final Environmental Impact Statement on a bison management plan for the park. The preferred alternative in that plan calls for a bison herd ranging in number between "about 3,500 to 6,000 animals after calving." It also calls for a continuation of the transfer of bison to tribal lands via the Bison Conservation Transfer Program, and continuation of both a "tribal treaty harvest" and public hunting outside the park to regulate numbers. But is that a good plan? We're going to discuss that today with Erik Molvar, the executive director of the Western Watersheds Project which long has followed how the Park Service has managed bison in Yellowstone. 

Bovine brucellosis affects the health and well-being of cattle and also poses a threat to human health.In this episode, we explore the basics of this disease and its impact on cattle herds and human health, particularly through the consumption of unpasteurised milk. Dr Didi Claassen, general manager at Afrivet technical and training services, offers insights into the complexities of diagnosing, treating, and preventing bovine brucellosis.

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. Evidence indicates that the risks of consuming unpasteurized foods greatly outweigh the benefits, especially for immune-compromised people.  (CREDITS)

Did you know that dogs can get STDs!? Well, now you do. You'll hear about exchanges of fluids from body secretions. It's more entertaining than it sounds. The Idiots also discuss spaying and neutering. They didn't give me much to work with for an episode description. Does anyone even really read these? Anyway, bullet points-dogs can get STDs, the disease can jump species, Bob Barker made neutering gender specific to dogs, Kent doesn't like milk but does love cheese, Cory can't make sense of this. Please keep listening.

Once numbering at least 40-60 million, settler colonial men once hunted the buffalo through the train windows for sport – who had the most kills. By 1890, however, there were less than 1,000 buffalo with only 23 surviving in Yellowstone's Pelican Valley. Today, in Yellowstone National Park, the buffalo are trapped for slaughter and quarantine. In fact, once migrating into Montana, the buffalo are under the control of the Department of Livestock instead of Yellowstone Park National Service. When trapped, the buffalo are often tested for Brucellosis – the disease given to them by cattle. In Gardiner, MT, a group of 28 buffalo migrating into Gardiner Basin were recently trapped by Yellowstone National Park at Stephens Creek near Gardiner, Montana. The group was the first buffalo to migrate into the basin this season. Another group of 49 buffalo migrated beyond Yellowstone National Park's trap and the remaining buffalo retreated from the National Forest to Yellowstone National Park. Today on American Indian Airwaves, our guest provides in-depth updates on the U.S. National Park Services failed Bison Management program and the Yellowstone National Park continued operations causing the depopulation of the last remaining original genetically pure buffalo herds (~9,000), the failed Endangered Species Act, how the climate crises is impacting the ecosystems throughout the region and the buffalo relations, as well as how the U.S. government's divide and conquer strategy in creating buffalo policies simultaneous benefits larger Native American nations buffalo management programs from far way compared to local and smaller Native American nations near the Yellowstone Nation Park regions. Moreover, our guest highlights the cultural importance of the buffalo relations for Native American lifeways and what is threatening the cultural sustainability for future Native America nations.

More simply stated, vaccines are intended to be used to prevent disease and generally do so through establishing and maintaining relatively high levels of circulating antibody titers. Because antibody titers wane over time, it is important that vaccines be administered and readministered (often referred to as "boostered") at the times necessary to result in antibody coverage throughout expected or potential exposure to disease-causing pathogens. It is critically important to recognize that vaccines are intended to be preventive tools, and the efficacy of any tool can be impacted by how it is used. Because vaccines are biological products, they are often susceptible to environmental abuse and exposure to conditions outside of certain optimal ranges. As such, vaccines should be stored, handled, and administered in ways that are described on the label using techniques that protect product efficacy. The product label contains the information necessary to ensure that product storage, handling, and administration practices do not limit or negate product efficacy. Deviations from such instructions may result in decreased product efficacy. In general, most vaccines should be refrigerated, but not frozen, and should remain within the desired refrigerated temperature range throughout storage, transportation, and up to the time of administration. The most common causes of decreased efficacy are storage, transportation, and handling abuse. Examples include not transporting vaccines in coolers, not storing vaccines in coolers on working days, and storing vaccines in refrigerators that do not maintain temperature within the necessary range. Vaccines that will be stored for extended periods of time should be stored only in refrigerators that have been verified to maintain the correct temperature range. Data-logging thermometers are an inexpensive but valuable investment. Vaccines, including vaccine vials and loaded syringes, should also be protected from direct exposure to sunlight. In addition, vaccines that have been exposed to the environment by puncturing the seal with a needle should not be stored and reused. If a needle has been inserted into the vial, the vaccine should be used during that working event, and any unused contents discarded per label directions. Storing previously opened vaccines allows for the potential growth of harmful microorganisms, and thus should be avoided in order to minimize the risk of unintentionally causing an adverse reaction or health event. Some vaccines require reconstitution by adding diluent to a dehydrated powder. All vaccines require mixing or agitating before administration. Mix vaccines gently by slowly swirling and inverting unless the label specifies otherwise. If reconstitution is required, reconstitute and mix only the amount of vaccine that will be used within an hour or less. Do not mix the entire day's allotment of vaccine at the beginning of a working event. It is good practice to reconstitute and mix only a single bottle of vaccine at a time. Disposable syringes and needles should be discarded after each use. Repeatable, repeater, or "pistol-grip" style syringes should be cleaned after each use. Do not use soap, cleaning agents, or chemical disinfectants to clean reusable syringes. Rather, flush them repeatedly with hot water. Water should be boiled and allowed to cool slightly before repeatedly filling and emptying the syringe. Transfer needles should be boiled in water, then allowed to dry before storage and eventual reuse. Syringe lubricants are not recommended because they represent a potential risk to product efficacy through interaction with the active components of the vaccine. Syringe lubricants are also unnecessary because the initial draw of a vaccine into the syringe provides adequate lubrication. Syringe O-rings should be replaced as necessary, and extras should be kept on hand so that they are available when needed. This will help to minimize the risk of a syringe failure. Similarly, vaccine efficacy may be limited by the ability of the animal's immune system to adequately respond to the vaccine. There are a number of animal-related factors that may influence vaccine efficacy. Of these, nutrition and environmental stressors are the most common. Both nutrient deficiencies and toxicities can impair immune function and, as a result, influence an individual animal's response to a vaccine. Trace mineral, protein, and energy deficiencies are the most common nutrition-related issues that limit vaccine efficacy. Energy deficiencies are generally easy to identify through low levels of animal performance, low body condition, and general unthriftiness. Trace mineral and protein deficiencies are often more difficult to visually identify. Trace mineral deficiencies, however, are easy to correct through supplementing with minerals or including trace mineral sources at adequate (but not excessive) levels in a complete ration. Consumption of mycotoxins, other toxins, or other antinutritional factors may also impact vaccine efficacy. In addition, pre existing disease, heavy parasite loads, heat stress, and cold stress are all conditions that may also influence the animal's immune system and as a result, its ability to fully respond to a vaccine. Although certain vaccinations are highlighted in this chapter, their mention should be considered a general rule of thumb. Their necessity for a given herd health program, or the lack thereof, may be subject to interpretation or opinion. The herd veterinarian is best positioned to provide direct recommendations on vaccination programs, including which components should be considered essential, and their optimum timing of administration. Generally speaking, modified live virus (MLV) vaccines typically do not require revaccination to result in an effective antibody response. Killed virus (KV) vaccines, or combined KV and MLV vaccines, generally do require a revaccination (or booster) to result in an effective vaccination as defined by antibody response. Vaccines that require revaccination should be readministered within the period of time described on the product label. Vaccines that do not require revaccination should be administered at or near the time of weaning. Nonetheless, the product label and herd veterinarian should determine if and when revaccination is necessary to result in an effective antibody response. A strong, comprehensive beef cattle vaccination program begins with implementation at the cow-calf level. From a life cycle standpoint, preweaning calfhood vaccinations are the greatest opportunity to initiate a comprehensive and effective vaccination program. Timing of preweaning vaccinations generally coincides with other working events, such as branding, pre breeding vaccinations of the cow herd, or bull turnout. Vaccinating calves at this time will help to minimize the risk of preweaning disease and will better prepare them to withstand the stress of weaning. Calfhood vaccination programs should at minimum include vaccination against various clostridial and viral respiratory diseases. Common essential components of calfhood viral respiratory disease vaccines include: bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) types I and II infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) parainfluenza type-3 (PI-3) In addition, clostridial disease vaccinations commonly include coverage against the following: Clostridium chauvoei C haemolyticum C novyi C perfringens types C & D C septicum and may also include C sordelli and/or C tetani. Some calfhood vaccination programs may also include vaccination against bacteria such as Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, which cause bovine respiratory disease (BRD). It is important to recognize that this is not a comprehensive list, and specific vaccine decisions should be made in consultation with the herd veterinarian. The vaccination programs of calves that will be developed to become replacement heifers also commonly include vaccination against reproductive diseases and should be similar to the vaccine program used for the mature cow herd. In addition to IBR and BVD, and depending upon local disease risk, vaccination against Brucella, Leptospira, Vibrio, Trichomonas, Campylobacter , or anthrax may also be warranted or recommended. Brucellosis vaccination must be performed according to state regulations. Modified live vaccines for IBR and BVD give the broadest immunity to strain differences and should be administered twice to ensure a high level of immunity. Some evidence suggests that MLV BVD and IBR vaccines may affect the ovary for a short period of time after vaccination and potentially result in a minor decrease in fertility when administered immediately before or during the breeding season. For this reason, MLV IBR and/or BVD vaccines should be administered at least 1 month before the beginning of the breeding season. While vaccination of heifers with Trichomonas vaccine may increase calving rate and decrease the duration of infection in infected herds, it is important to recognize that it may not prevent infection. Vaccination against trichomoniasis may be useful in infected herds or in herds at high risk of infection, but may not yield a positive return on investment in low-risk herds. These decisions should be made in consultation with the herd veterinarian and should be based upon risk of exposure and potential economic impact. Pre Breeding vaccinations should be completed at least 4 weeks before the onset of the breeding season. Pre Calving vaccinations are intended to protect the newborn calf through colostral transfer. It may be possible for pre calving vaccinations to serve as effective pre breeding vaccinations; however, it is important to ensure that the vaccination program will provide sufficient duration of immunity to cover cattle throughout the time of greatest risk. In addition, vaccination against bacterial scours (calf diarrhea) can be a beneficial component of a herd health program. Bulls should receive the same vaccines as the cow herd, with some exceptions. Bulls should not be vaccinated for brucellosis. Similar precautions with MLV IBR vaccines should be taken for bulls as for cows. COW COUNTRY NEWS U.S Lawmakers, Cattlemen Seek Ban On Paraguayan Beef Imports U.S. Senators Jon Tester from Montana and Mike Rounds from South Dakota on Monday filed a Congressional Review Act that would overturn USDA's removal of a long-standing ban on beef imports from Paraguay. Congress may use a Congressional Review Act to overturn final rules issued by federal agencies by a simple majority vote. The move is supported by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, United States Cattlemen's Association, R-CALF USA, Livestock Marketing Association, National Farmers Union, Montana Farmers Union, Montana Stockgrowers Association, and the Montana Farm Bureau Federation.  Opponents to the Biden administration's decision to allow beef imports from Paraguay argue it is based on outdated inspections, without recent visits to confirm no risk of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).   Tester and Rounds also introduced bipartisan legislation late last year to suspend beef imports from Paraguay in response to such animal health concerns. That bill would also require the establishment of a working group to evaluate the threat to food safety and animal health posed by Paraguayan beef. The two senators have called on the USDA to collect more up-to-date data before resuming beef imports from Paraguay, whose last case of Foot and Mouth Disease occurred in 2012. Also last year, Tester and Rounds introduced bipartisan legislation to suspend Brazilian beef imports to the U.S. until experts can conduct a systemic review of the commodity's impact on food safety and animal health.   The American Farmer Continues To Grow Older The American Farmer continues to grow older. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service announced the results of the 2022 Census of Agriculture, spanning more than 6 million data points about America's farms and ranches. The average American farmer is now 58.1 years old, which is an increase of about half a year compared to the last census conducted in 2017. Farmers who are 65 and older increased by 12% in this census, while farmers aged 35-64 decreased by 9%. There were 1.9 million farms and ranches, down 7% from 2017, with an average size of 463 acres.  That is up 5% on 880 million acres of farmland, which is 39% of all U.S. land. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asks “This survey is essentially asking the critical question of whether as a country are we okay with losing that many farms? Are we okay with losing that much farmland or is there a better way? That's the importance of this survey. It allows us to take a snapshot in time, allows us to compare what has occurred over the five-year period, and begins to ask ourselves questions about the policy formation and the direction that we need to take in order to correct or deal with some of the challenges that the data presents.” Ag census data provides a valuable insight into demographics, economics, land use and activities on United States farms and ranches.

Note: This is a rebroadcast from Season 1 of the show that covers a pivotal period of time in Florida's cattle industry. Brucellosis, a devastating bacterial disease, wreaked havoc on the Florida cattle industry for many years until a federal eradication program was instituted. On this episode, we discuss the history of the program in Florida and hear firsthand accounts from Linda Crane and Evelyn Tiencken, two ladies who served as field technicians in the fight against this costly disease. Most importantly, these two ladies used their natural grit and grace to navigate what was widely considered a man's domain winning over the respect, trust, and admiration of the cattlemen in the process paving the way for a successful eradication outcome.

In this episode we are joined by Haematology Specialist Registrar Dr Claire Kelly to discuss splenomegaly and some important haematological disorders as potential stations in the MRCPI Part II clinical exam. We discuss the approach, physical findings, a differential diagnosis, investigations and management. We then go on to briefly talk through some potential follow-up questions including differentiating a large spleen versus a large kidney, management of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) and Myelofibrosis, a brief review of Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia (AIHA) and Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), splenectomy indications and splenectomy precautions. Common causes of splenomegaly in exams are CML and myelofibrosis. A possible way to learn and work through a splenomegaly differential diagnosis (taken from Pastest Splenomegaly case notes): The causes of splenomegaly can be stratified into three main categories: "1 . Infiltration, malignant or benign - (including myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders), lymphomas, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, Gaucher's disease (ie lipid storage disease), thyrotoxicosis. 2. Increased function – with increased removal of defective red blood cells with spherocytes, thalassaemia, nutritional anaemias and early sickle cell anaemia. Also there is immune hyperplasia in response to infection (viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic) including tropical splenomegaly with chronic malaria and visceral leishmaniosis i.e. Kala-azar. Also consider glandular fever, infectious hepatitis, subacute bacterial endocarditis, brucellosis and disordered immunoregulation (rheumatoid arthritis with Felty's syndrome, SLE, sarcoidosis) 3. Abnormal blood flow, either with cirrhosis, or secondary to a vascular problem, such as hepatic or portal vein obstruction. As there are so many causes of splenomegaly, you may find the examiner will give you a clue to guide you to the diagnosis. Listen carefully for this. So, for example, if the examiner asks you to examine this farmer's abdomen, they may be likely to have Brucellosis. If you were only asked to examine the abdomen itself but given an opportunity to examine elsewhere, you may request to examine the throat for glandular fever. If the examiner asks you to examine this man and informs you he is an Ashkenazi Jew, there may be increased likelihood that the patient may have type 1 Gaucher's. If you are informed the patient has recently returned from Africa, then you should consider chronic malaria, although there would likely be other clinical features such as anaemia."

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

A little fishing update to start off the episode as Michael is still out there swinging bugs. For news we start off with talking about environmental groups suing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service trying to get them to place Arctic Grayling on the endangered species list. It's a never ending saga that has been going on for 30 years, but a lot of effort has been done to try and save them. Idaho released their results of CWD testing in the state and a little glimpse into their plan and hope to stop the spread. In Montana 149 elk were recently tested for Brucellosis to see if the Montana Department of Livestock's Designated Surveillance area needs to be expanded. Bird flu continues to impact more and more mammals with a surprising amount of species being added to the list of detections. For the Deeper Dive we have Randy to talk about the recent discussion around grizzly bear de-listing and what that means for hunters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.  

In this episode (episode #230) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy talks with Brian Yablonski of the Property & Economic Research Center (PERC) about a new strategy to increase winter elk tolerance by private landowners who own most of the winter range north of Yellowstone National Park. Brucellosis is a disease for which elk are a risk to cattle, with strange Federal rules placing huge economic liability on cattle operators. PERC has started a brucellosis compensation fund to lower landowner financial risk when elk winter on their lands and bring brucellosis risk with them. Using partnerships, PERC has brought together landowners, hunters, and environmental groups to find solutions that allow for higher tolerance of elk on their winter range and create a solution that helps wildlife using private lands.

In today's episode, the state health services has vowed significant spending on the national health service Gesy with a projected €250 million for 2022-2024, while also acknowledging complaints and the need to constantly improve. In other news, Patriarch of Jerusalem Theofilos III arrived yesterday to visit Archbishop Chrysostomos II, who has been fighting intestinal cancer. According to reports, the archbishop's health has been deteriorating in recent hours, prompting the patriarch's visit. Elsewhere, the public service commission has suspended director of Veterinary Services Christodoulos Pipis for three months. The reason is the instances of Brucellosis found in cattle in a Larnaca livestock farm, which resulted in the need to cull approximately 1,200 animals. All this and more in the Cyprus Beat briefing brought to you by the Cyprus Mail.

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.

If you drink cow's milk, you have Alice Evans to thank for making sure you don't get sick from brucellosis. Before dairy was commonly pasteurized, a debilitating fever was plaguing many who drank raw milk. Microbiologist, Alice Evans was the first to suggest pasteurization to prevent this painful disease.

This week's Dairy Edge celebrates the evolution of the Kildalton dairy herd over the last 50 years with contributions from past and present staff at the college. James Ryan and Zerlina Pratt as well as John Connolly and Norman Storey join Emma-Louise Coffey with their insights and memories. In fifty years, the dairy herd has grown from 40 pedigree British Friesian cows producing ~3,500 litres of milk at 3.5% fat and 3.0% protein (260 kg MS) in 1971 to 120  high EBI Holstein-Friesian and crossbred cows in 2021 producing 530 kg MS.   The dairy herd has also contended with animal health challenges such as depopulation due to two Brucellosis in the 1970s and Mycoplasma Bovis in 20% of the herd in the 2000s. The dairy herd aims to achieve high productivity per cow and per ha through sustainable farming practices while also facilitating skills training for agriculture students who attend the college to help put theory into practice. For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

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.

Ep. 45: "In Defense of the Last Wild Buffalo" feat. Stephany Seay of the Buffalo Field Campaign Current battles in a centuries-long range war The last wild herd of Buffalo in North America spend most of the year in Yellowstone National Park. They are descended from a mere 23 individuals who survived the massive Buffalo slaughters of the late 19th Century by hiding out in a valley there. Today the herd numbers in the low thousands, but is still not allowed to live a life free of harrassment from humans. The Buffalo Field Campaign was formally founded in 1997, and they employ a variety of tactics to defend and advocate for these Buffalo. On December 16th, I spoke with the campaign's media coordinator, Stephany Seay. She's been an earth activist since the late 80's, has apprenticed as a wildlife rehabilitator, and is a student of horses. In 2003, she looked into the eyes of a wild buffalo and was never the same again. Since 2004 she has been on the front lines with BFC. In our conversation, we talked about the history of the Yellowstone herd and what makes it unique; the annual killing of Buffalo every year when they migrate out of the park to forage; the Brucellosis myth; how the ranching industry opposes Buffalo; the effort to have Buffalo listed under the Endangered Species Act; how the Park Service rounds up buffalo every year and sends them to slaughterhouses; the genetic concerns with a herd that is kept so small; the importance of Buffalo as a keystone species; how domesticated cows do not fill the same ecological role as Buffalo; the relationship between Buffalo and Native Americans; how activists have mostly halted the "hazing" of Buffalo; and the work of Buffalo defense, which has included direct action. This interview was short, so I filled out the episode by adding a reading from my 2019 book, "Roadtripping at the End of the World." The excerpt is from a section about Nine Mile Prairie in Nebraska in which write about the Tall Grass Prairie ecosystem and the Buffalo's place in it. "Roadtripping at the End of the World" is available at my website as an autographed paperback or a digital download.

D. Hadžović - Evaluation of a brucellosis control strategy in small ruminants in Bosnia by European Commission for the Control of FMD

Have your lambing percentages been impacted without any obvious cause?Did you get new rams this year? Have the neighbour's ewes or rams found their way into your flock? If you answered yes to any of those questions, your operation may have been exposed to Ovine Brucellosis. Ovine brucellosis is a highly detrimental reproductive disease that can affect all breeds of sheep.

In China, a leak from a vaccine plant has left thousands of local residents with chronic illness. Nikkei reports that in Northwest China’s Lanzhou city, a biopharmaceutical plant exposed residents to an animal-borne bacterial disease that’s highly contagious and difficult to treat, known as brucellosis. The cause of the outbreak was contaminated exhaust from the Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Plant, which is under the state-owned China Animal Husbandry Industry. Symptoms of the disease include recurring fever, severe headaches, joint pain, and other symptoms that can last years. Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that the Chinese regime has a database of around 2.4 million people and 650,000 institutions that heavily targets influential people overseas. Financial Review reported that a Chinese military contractor was boasting about spreading disinformation and promoting conflicts. We'll go in-depth into this.

Anthony Fauci has published a paper blaming farming and ranching for pandemics, jumping on the UN’s Biodiversity agenda, and setting the stage for new Senate Bill 4453, “Food Supply Protection Act of 2020,” which codifies the Rockefeller Foundation’s takeover of food. After a year of predictive programming about the next deadly pandemic having its genesis […]

Episode 274: An Invisible Enemy Part 2 Linda Emmanuel returned for a very crucial update, even more, devastating news ahead. A long list of 5G hotspots or “KILL ZONES”. Did your city make the list? Find out right now, Linda encourages everyone to share the video and information and get out of these zones before it’s too late. “They have put the Brucellius bacteria in the mean in these products and they will be on the shelves ONLY in the kill zone cities around early September. People who eat these products (in the kill zone) will experience flu-like symptoms (like corona) and this will give them the opportunity to lock down the kill cities. He just told me this morning. SO ironically the Jesuits are giving us a clue which cities are going to be the kill cities way in advance so people will get out of a kill zone. Your listeners, if their media reports a pandemic outbreak, they will know to get out right away. That is why MOSH wanted me to get out of STL county by the 10th. The lockdown could be earlier, depending on when people get sick from eating the contaminated products. Get it? MOSH says the Brucellosis bacteria have a cell wall and is more resistant to heat. Perfect bio-weapon for food that will be “microwaved or heated”. Also, this will prove to your listeners that MOSH is real if a pandemic breaks out. (I can’t make this stuff up)

In this episode, Heidi Hartman, breeder and owner of Harbor Run Labradors talks to us about stud dog maintenance, nutrition, and important points when considering putting, and using a dog at stud.  In today's discussion we cover 3 main themes: So you want your dog to be a stud, So you've proven your dog for stud now what, and So you want to use my stud dog. We approach this topic with considerations to both popular and rare breeds alike. No two breeding programs are the same, and we respectfully breakdown considerations of fundamentals, in addition to different views when considering and using stud dogs. This discussion is based on breeder opinions only, we highly suggest you consult your veterinarian with any breeding advice.  8:40 – I have great dog, want to be used at stud one day 11:25 – Breed Standard 13:00 – Form & Function – field titles to prove ability 14:50 – Health Test Recommendations 23:00 - Other considerations for a prospective stud dog 29:35 – Check Fertility 30:20 – Freezing semen 35:00 – Brucellosis 38:00 – Keeping Stud Dog Health & Fertile 43:20 – Type of person it takes to own a stud dog 46:00 – Using stud that's being campaigned 47:15 – Brief on contracts 48:50 – Stud fee vs Service fee 54:00 – Breeder Intentions 1:00:00 – Breeding options 1:03:30 – Duties/Responsibilities of a stud dog owner 1:11:00 – I have a stud dog, but don't have interest in the work -------------------------------------------------- Connect with Heidi of Harbor Run Labradors Support this podcast on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thebirddogbabe Thank you to our Sponsors: Dakota283 Kennels use promo code: BirdDogBabe for 10% off through end of June Prois Hunting Apparel for Women: Use promo code: BirdDogBabe for 10% off through end of June Connect with Courtney Follow Bird Dog Babe: Instagram Facebook YouTube  

Brucellosis, a devastating bacterial disease, wreaked havoc on the Florida cattle industry for many years until a federal eradication program was instituted.  Instituting the eradication program was the first step, but had the right people not been in the right place at the right time, the Brucellosis eradication effort could have failed miserably.  On this episode, we discuss the history of the program in Florida and hear firsthand accounts from Linda Crane and Evelyn Tiencken, two ladies who served as field technicians in the fight against this costly disease. Most importantly, these two ladies used their natural grit and grace to navigate what was widely considered a man's domain winning over the respect, trust, and admiration of the cattlemen in the process and paving the way for a successful outcome for the eradication effort.

Government feeding programs for elk are controversial. However, the guys don't shy away from controversy. Topics covered in this episode include: the history of elk feedgrounds; how feeding programs work; disease transmission; costs of operation; challenges with ending programs; opportunities for adaptive management; local and national political impacts; and more. There's a lot to unpack here, and not nearly enough time to discuss it all.
