| the transfer of strontium-90 and caesium-137 to milk in a dairy herd grazing near a major nuclear installation. | a field investigation of the transfer of artificially produced radionuclides in the pasture--cow--milk pathway has been made at a farm close to the nuclear fuel reprocessing installation at sellafield on the north-west coast of england. this paper reports results from analyses of samples collected during 1981, reports transfers coefficients for 90sr and 137cs from various types of feed to milk, and discusses factors that affect the transfer of these radionuclides. it is shown that during 1981 a ... | 1984 | 6710139 |
| corynebacterium ulcerans in humans and cattle in north devon. | a case of corynebacterium ulcerans sore throat in a community that drank raw milk from its own farm led to the discovery of another symptomless human infection. eight cows in the herd were found to be infected and the intermittent pattern of excretion was demonstrated in another cow followed through its lactation. further evidence of milk infected by c. ulcerans was found by examining all raw milk samples submitted to the laboratory. two other human cases were diagnosed in devon during the perio ... | 1984 | 6707468 |
| the use of the morantel sustained release bolus in second-season grazing cattle. | the efficacy of the morantel sustained release bolus in controlling gastrointestinal helminth infection in second-season grazing cattle was investigated on a total of seven farms in southeast england. on each farm only animals which had grazing experience from the previous summer pasturing season were used. the animals on each farm were allotted into two equal groups and turned out onto divided pastures of equal size. all the cattle in one group received a bolus at turnout while the cattle in th ... | 1983 | 6684360 |

| the herring gull larus argentatus as a likely transmitting agent of salmonella montevideo to sheep and cattle. | this paper presents evidence for the involvement of herring gulls (larus argentatus) as vectors in the recent outbreaks of salmonella montevideo in sheep and cattle in scotland and suggests that the transfer can take place over considerable distances. the breeding area in scotland of herring gulls which overwinter in n.e. england is remarkably similar to the geographical distribution of the outbreaks. this pattern, together with the feeding behaviour of herring gulls on farmland, the presence of ... | 1983 | 6663059 |
| salmonella saint-paul infection in calves. | a natural outbreak of salmonella saint-paul infection in two institute herds was monitored clinically, bacteriologically and immunologically. this paper describes the findings in calves. morbidity and mortality became apparent 30 days after s. saint-paul was first isolated on routine sampling of neonatal calf faeces. all heifer calves were treated with a tetracycline or ampicillin preparation when they showed clinical signs of disease, while the effects of intradermal vaccination with heat-kille ... | 1983 | 6644011 |
| salmonella saint-paul infection in two dairy herds. | an outbreak of salmonellosis due to salmonella saint-paul in two dairy herds was first detected during routine examination of calves soon after calving; infection reached 100% amongst calves and up to 60% amongst milking cows. excretion by cows continued for over 12 months and by calves for up to 18 months. the most important factor in controlling the spread of infection was reduction of environmental contamination by removal of carriers, prompt antibiotic treatment of sick calves and reduction ... | 1983 | 6644010 |
| milk-borne campylobacter enteritis in a rural area. | during november and december 1981 more than 50 residents in a village in derbyshire had an acute gastrointestinal illness. one month later a second outbreak occurred affecting another 22 people. campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 12 patients; no other gastrointestinal pathogens were identified. a case-control study showed an association with the consumption of unpasteurized milk from one particular farm. no new cases were identified for 6 months following the application of a pasteurization ... | 1983 | 6644009 |
| indirect haemagglutination test for the detection and assay of antibody to bovine respiratory syncytial virus. | an indirect haemagglutination (iha) test was used for the rapid assay of antibody to bovine respiratory syncytial virus. antigens for the sensitisation of formalised tanned erythrocytes were prepared by treatment of virus infected cells with non-ionic detergent. a close serological relationship was shown by the iha test between the strain of bovine respiratory syncytial virus used and the a2 strain of human respiratory syncytial virus. the iha test was sensitive and reproducible. a linear correl ... | 1983 | 6636489 |

| possible role of leptospires of the pomona serogroup in sporadic bovine abortion in the south west of england. | an investigation of a small outbreak of abortion in mixed-age cows in a dairy herd in somerset produced circumstantial evidence that a leptospire belonging to the pomona serogroup was the causative agent. although the initial epidemic involved more than 30 per cent of the herd, agglutination titres did not persist in the majority of animals and bacteriological monitoring produced no evidence that this leptospire could establish endemic infection in dairy cattle. an isolate recovered from the kid ... | 1984 | 6523702 |
| bacteria associated with calf pneumonia and their effect on gnotobiotic calves. | samples of pneumonic lung tissue from 140 calves with subclinical pneumonia and 65 calves with fatal pneumonia were examined bacteriologically. sixty-eight (48 per cent) of the lungs from the subclinical cases and 27 (41 per cent) of the lungs from the fatal cases contained bacteria at more than 10(4) colony forming units (cfu) per gram of tissue. pasteurella haemolytica was associated more with fatal cases than subclinical cases (p less than 0.001). of the seven species of bacteria inoculated e ... | 1984 | 6505400 |
| a comparison of biotypes and serotypes of campylobacter sp. isolated from patients with enteritis and from animal and environmental sources. | the origin of sporadic campylobacter infections has been investigated by means of a collaborative study. from a total of 1152 cases reported in north west england in 1982, campylobacter strains isolated during one month in each quarter of the year were biotyped and serotyped. for comparison, 875 strains of campylobacter isolated from environmental and animal sources were similarly examined. most strains from human beings were campylobacter jejuni; about half of them were of three serotypes. thos ... | 1984 | 6501895 |
| infection by leptospires of the pomona serogroup in cattle and pigs in south west england. | leptospires belonging to the pomona serogroup were isolated from calves involved in two outbreaks of acute haemolytic disease which were characterised by jaundice, haemoglobinuria and high death rates. retrospective case studies in which serological evidence of pomona serogroup infection was found are also presented. serovar pomona is the leptospire of the pomona serogroup most commonly incriminated in clinical disease in domestic species, but the organisms isolated in this study were antigenica ... | 1984 | 6495570 |

| outbreak of listeria meningoencephalitis in young lambs. | an outbreak of listeriosis occurred in five-week-old lambs in a flock of 200 dorset ewes and 240 lambs in-wintered. nine lambs were lost within a period of 10 days. no cases of stillbirth or abortion or cerebral listeriosis occurred in the ewes. silage had been fed on this farm to both cattle and sheep for 10 years without any previous problems. a description of the outbreak and the findings are reported. | 1983 | 6415890 |
| the effect of udder infection on the bacterial flora of the bulk milk of ten dairy herds. | the significance of udder infection as a factor increasing the bacterial count of herd bulk milk was measured monthly for one year in ten dairy herds in southern england. staphylococcus aureus or mastitis streptococci were detected in 86% of samples, usually in numbers between 1000 and 10 000 c.f.u./ml of milk. however, in 8 and 2% of samples respectively greater than 20 000 or 100 000 c.f.u. of mastitis pathogens/ml of milk were detected. this occurred most commonly in the herds with a high inc ... | 1984 | 6389466 |
| prevalence of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli in calves in scotland and northern england. | eighty-eight of 1529 (5.7 per cent) escherichia coli isolates from diarrhoeic and clinically normal calves in scotland and northern england were found to possess the k99 pilus antigen (k99+). there was complete correlation between possession of k99 antigen, heat stable enterotoxin production and ability to dilate intestinal loops. the diagnosis of calf enterotoxigenic e coli infections may therefore be based on the detection of k99 antigen alone. enterotoxigenic e coli was isolated from 23 of 30 ... | 1983 | 6356571 |
| the excretion of salmonella typhimurium in the faeces of calves fed milk substitute. | a total of 495 calves in 16 batches were examined (117 calves in 4 batches in 1979 and 378 in 12 batches in 1982). they were purchased in markets, transported by road to a farm in somerset and reared on a milk substitute diet for a period of up to five weeks. salmonella typhimurium phage type dt 193 was endemic in 1979 and phage type dt 204c in 1982. the mortality rates in the two years were 9.4% and 1.9% respectively. the causes of death were not investigated although the majority were probably ... | 1983 | 6350444 |
| the incidence and level of contamination of british fresh sausages and ingredients with salmonellas. | a five-tube most probable number (mpn) method, with the pre-enrichment and enrichment stages, was used in a study of the incidence of salmonella contamination of british fresh sausages and the ingredients used in their manufacture. all samples were taken from a large factory in the course of routine production. there was an incidence of 65% contamination of pork (n = 20) and 55% (n = 20) in pork and beef sausages. the incidences of contamination of uncooked ingredients varied from 95% for mechan ... | 1983 | 6339611 |

| observations on the epidemiology of dictyocaulus viviparus in north west england. | a five year ley pasture was used as a source of natural infection with dictyocaulus viviparus for cattle in anthelmintic trials. pasture larval counts, faecal larval counts of permanently grazing calves and lungworm burdens harboured by tracer calves were monitored in three grazing seasons to assess the pattern of infection. carrier calves were introduced at the beginning of the grazing season in the first two years of the study but not in the third. in the fourth year the pasture was subdivided ... | 1982 | 6210944 |
| the use of genetic relationships among cattle breeds in the formulation of rational breeding policies: a re-examination of the example of the south devon and the gelbvieh. | it has been claimed that the origin of the south devon breed of cattle is 'unknown' and that biochemical polymorphisms '. . . indicate that gelbvieh and south devon had a common ancestry on the continent and are distinct from other british breeds such as hereford, angus and jersey' (kidd et al., 1974). in fact, historical records indicate that the south devon evolved largely from native devon cattle and is a close relative of other english lowland breeds such as the north devon and hereford. inf ... | 1982 | 6185019 |
