recent trends in human salmonellosis in england and wales: the epidemiology of prevalent serotypes other than salmonella typhimurium.	in the period 1960-70 meat and poultry products caused over 70% of successfully investigated outbreaks of human salmonellosis. the number of human incidents of salmonellosis declined from 1960 to 1966, but then more than doubled between 1966 and 1971. this increase was mainly due to a threefold increase of incidents of salmonella serotypes other than salmonella typhimurium. the serotypes which increased most and contributed significantly to this trend were s. enteritidis, s. panama, s. stanley, ...	1974	4595088

the incidence of brucella infections in producer-retailer herds in north lancashire from 1965 to 1972.	the results are presented of testing untreated producer-retailer herd milk samples for the presence of brucella abortus during the period 1965-1972 in the north lancashire region.there was a steady decline in the incidence of infected herds from 22% in 1965 to 12% in 1971. a sharp fall to 5% in 1972 suggests that the introduction of the brucellosis incentives scheme and the eradication programme has helped to reduce the practice of selling brucella-infected cattle in the open market which was pr ...	1974	4213998
congenital heart disease in liverpool: 1960--69.	the incidence of congenital heart disease (c.h.d.) in liverpool from 1960 to 1969 inclusive has been determined from the liverpool congenital abnormalities registry with a follow-up period of 3 to 12 years. the incidence is 6-6 per 1000 total births and this probably represents a very small degree of under-reporting. there is no consistent seasonal variation in the incidence of any of the main congenital heart lesions. in general, infants with c.h.d. tend to be of lower birth weight and born aft ...	1975	125433
foot-and-mouth disease in british deer: transmission of virus to cattle, sheep and deer.	after exposure for two hours to cattle with foot-and-mouth disease, each of the five species of deer found in the british countryside became infected. clinical disease was typical and severe in the roe and muntjac deer, with some animals dying, less severe in the sika deer and usually subclinical in the fallow and red deer. each species transmitted disease to its own species and to cattle and sheep. the amounts of virus present in the blood, and in oesophageal/pharyngeal samples and excreted as ...	1975	167503

comparison of the specificity of human and bovine tuberculin ppd for testing cattle. 2. south-eastern england.	a tuberculin testing trial was carried out in eight counties of south-eastern england to compare the specificity for bovine tuberculosis of weybridge human ppd with that of rotterdam bovine ppd. the matching of these two tuberculins for potency in naturally infected cattle had already been established, the bovine ppd being approximately one-and-a-half times more potent than the human ppd per unit of weight. in 1110 cattle in 25 herds with histories of long-standing freedom from tuberculosis and ...	1975	47751
comparison of the specificity of human and bovine tuberculin ppf for testing cattle. 3. national trial in great britain.	a field trial on a country-wide basis was undertaken to compare the specificity for bovine tuberculosis of single and comparative tuberculin tests in cattle using either weybridge human or weybridge bovine ppd. the tests were made on 10,305 cattle in 179 herds distributed throughout all regions of england, scotland and wales. results showed that a comparative tuberculin test using avian ppd with either human or bovine ppd had a much higher efficiency than a single injection of mammalian tubercul ...	1975	47752

anthrax in england and wales 1963-1972.	the records of confirmed anthrax diagnoses held by the bacteriology department of the central veterinary laboratory, weybridge, for the years 1963 to 1972 inclusive, were analysed. during this decade, 86 per cent of the 2944 deaths recorded were in cattle and 11 per cent in pigs, correlating significantly with the cattle and pig populations in england and wales during this period. also, the country could be separated into high and low prevalence counties for cattle anthrax. norfolk and somerset ...	1975	1179615
a large scale mastitis control programme in somerset.	the results of a mastitis control programme operated in south west england for three years are given. farmers participating in the full mastitis control group agreed to treat each cow at drying off with 500 mg benzathine cloxacillin in each quarter, to have their milking machines tested and to correct any faults, and to practise teat dipping. data covering cell counts, milk production, milk quality and clinical mastitis, were assessed from herds taking part in the programme. cell counts were ana ...	1975	1189238

examination of slurry from cattle for pathogenic bacteria.	one hundred and eighty-seven samples of slurry from cattle were examined forthe presence of salmonellas, pathogenic leptospires and brucellas. small numbers of salmonellas, generally less than 1/g., were isolated from 20 samples (11%). these were s. dublin (12), s. typhimurium (4), s. indiana (1), s. bredeney (1), s. cerro (1) and s. unnamed 4, 12:d:-(1). leptospires were isolated from 56 samples (30%) but none was pathogenic for hamsters. no brucellas were isolated. the results of this survey a ...	1975	1054059
the effect of storage in slurry on the virulence of salmonella dublin.	the mouse was used as a model to determine whether storage of salmonella dublin in slurry and in broth reduces the virulence of the organism. no reduction in virulence of s. dublin stored in slurry for 36 days or in maintenance broth for 70 days was observed. the disease hazard involved in pasture-spreading of slurry contaminated with salmonellas is related to factors other than virulence.	1975	1054060
outbreaks of bovine salmonellosis caused by serotypes other than s. dublin and s. typhimurium.	outbreaks of salmonellosis caused by serotypes other than s. dublin and s. typhimurium were investigated on 41 farms in north-west england. of these, 37 (90 per cent) were in dairy cows. there was strong circumstantial evidence that contaminated dairy cake was the source of infection in at least four herds and probably many more. twenty-six serotypes were encountered with s. newport, the commonest, causing the most severe disease. most cattle seemed to rid themselves of infection during the foll ...	1975	1054726
trends in salmonella food poisoning in england and wales 1941-72.	cattle and pig herds and flocks of domestic fowl have formed the main reservoir of human salmonella food poisoning in england and wales from 1941 to 1972. changes in the incidence of human salmonella food poisoning and in the serotypes of salmonellas isolated from human infections are shown to have been associated with the introduction of new foods, with changes in animal husbandry, and with changes in the relative proportions of flesh food from different species consumed. new foods, dried powde ...	1975	1054731
salmonellosis in wild mammals.	one thousand two hundred and sixty-nine freeliving, wild mammals, representative of 16 species from estates in berkshire, oxfordshire and surrey, were examined for the presence of salmonellas. salmonella typhimurium was isolated from 1 and s. dublin from 7 house mice (mus musculus). there were no isolations from the other species examined. it was concluded that the house-mice infected with s. dublin acquired the organism from experimentally infected cattle. the wild mammal population does not at ...	1976	1068191
studies on the 1967--68 foot and mouth disease epidemic: incubation period and herd serial interval.	the incubation period during this epidemic was studied using both a spectral analysis-cum-filtering method and analysis of case histories. using spectral analysis, the modal herd serial interval was estimated to be 8--10 days based on the record of the daily number of outbreaks and an adjusted cattler series. the case histories tended to confirm these estimates but indicated that the serial interval varied considerably between species. the filtering method revealed that the herd serial interval ...	1976	1068194
epidemiological studies on the 1967-1968 foot-and-mouth disease epidemic: the reporting of suspected disease.	from an analysis of the telephone reports in ten fmd control centres in the west midlands, the veterinary officers' reports on each outbreak, the farm patrol reports and the daily number of outbreaks announced on the 17.50 h b.b.c. t.v. news, it would appear that the reporting of suspected outbreaks was indirectly related to the local disease activity. private veterinary practitioners reported older cases of fmd at the beginning and end of the epidemic than in the middle.	1976	1069810

incidence of salmonella infection in animals in england and wales 1968--1974.	of a total of 23,609 incidents of salmonella infection reported during the period 1968--74, 20,326 occurred in cattle, 1744 in poultry and other birds, 675 in sheep, 558 in pigs and 306 in other species of animals. despite the large number of serotypes isolated (153), 88% of incidents were due to only two stereotypes: s. dublin (15,929 incidents of which 15,446 occurred in cattle ) and s. typhimurium (4842 incidents of which 3785 occurred in cattle and 732 in birds). s. choleraesuis was the thir ...	1977	319168
the rebound phenomenon of gordon holmes.	contrary to a prevalent belief, the rebound phenomenon of gordon holmes is not a sign of cerebellar disease. it is elicited by having the patient attempt to move a limb against resistance. when the resistance is suddenly removed, the limb normally moves a short distance in the desired direction and then rebounds (jerks back in the opposite direction). gordon holmes pointed out that the rebound phenomenon is (1) present in normal libs, (2) exaggreated in spastic limbs, and (3) absent in limbs aff ...	1977	320970

serological studies of mucosal disease virus in england and wales.	a survey of the cattle population in england and wales showed that about 62 per cent of animals had neutralising (sn) antibody to bvd-md virus in their serum. fewer seropositive individuals were detected by immunodiffusion (53 per cent), and complement fixation (cf) tests (34 per cent). the prevalence of antibody was not affected by herd size, but some variation was found between various regions of the country, and the proportion of animals seropositive rose markedly with age. the immunodiffusio ...	1978	203990
a serological survey on the prevalence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis in buckinghamshire, berkshire and oxfordshire.	of the 2368 cattle sera from herds in buckinghamshire, berkshire and oxfordshire examined for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis antibody by an indirect haemagglutination test, 162 (6.8 per cent) proved positive. positive titres were more prevalent in older cows and they tended to show higher titres. there was little evidence of infection in the bulls tested. the percentage of positive animals in berkshire and oxfordshire was 4.7 compared with 10.5 in buckinghamshire. the infection was not known ...	1978	211700
virus-induced papillomas of the alimentary tract of cattle.	an abattoir survey was carried out to determine the incidence and aetiology of squamous papillomas of the alimentary tract of cattle in scotland and north england as they were suspected of being involved in the genesis of alimentary carcinoma in certain localized geographical areas. a total of 7,746 cattle of a wide age range was examined. various subsets of this number were subjected to analyses of certain specific factors. the calculated overall incidence was 19% and the detailed site incidenc ...	1978	212374
the distribution of antibodies to border disease virus among sheep in england and wales.	within a sample of the sheep population of england and wales, 10.8 per cent of 3506 individuals had immunodiffusion test antibody to bovine viral diarrhoea mucosal disease virus antigen. there were marked differences between various geographical regions in the proportion of sheep with antibody, and border disease may be more common in some areas than disease records indicate.	1978	214835
studies on bovine leukosis as it is seen in england and wales.	a random series of 14 clinical cases of bovine leukosis as it is seen in england and wales has been studied clinically, haematologically, serologically (by the indirect fluorescent antibody test and later by agar gel immunodiffusion as well), virologically (for evidence of bovine leukaemia virus--blv) and using the electron microsocope to count intranuclear pockets in circulating lymphocytes. additionally calves have been inoculated with whole blood and a tissue lymphocyte suspension from the fi ...	1978	224793
a survey of thelazia worms in the eyelids of british cattle.	thelazia skrjabini and t gulosa were found in the eyes of 237 of 566 bovine heads (41.9 per cent) examined in a surrey abattoir during 1976. the prevalence of infection increased during late june, july and august, when a new generation of worms emerged in eyes. the burden in eyes ranged from one to 170 worms, with a mean count of 10.44 +/- 3.23. worms were found behind and in third eyelids and in the lacrimal ducts of lower eyelids, which makes their detection very difficult by clinical examinat ...	1978	565553
cot deaths and water-sodium.	over a thirty-year period in scunthorpe, during which there were two changes in the sodium content of the water supply, there were significantly more sudden deaths in infancy during the decade when sodium levels were highest. this is compatible with the hypothesis that hypernatraemia is a factor leading to cot death. changes in the incidence of breastfeeding over the same period may have contributed to, but are unlikely to account for, the result because the pattern was different in a neighbouri ...	1978	82031

the prevalence of sarcocystis spp in dogs and red foxes.	protozoan parasites of the genus sarcocystis have been recognised for many years as intramuscular cysts of numerous vertebrates. it is only comparatively recently that the two-host nature of the life cycle has been recognised and that the intramuscular cysts are a stage in the developmental cycle of coccidian parasites of flesh eating mammals (fayer 1974, fayer and johnson 1973, 1974, rommel and others 1972, dubey 1976). carnivores ingest the intramuscular cysts from herbivores and presumably fr ...	1978	416553
campylobacter enteritis associated with consumption of unpasteurised milk.	in october and november 1978 two outbreaks of enteritis occurred in the north of england. symptoms lasted two to over eight days but in no case necessitated admission to hospital. faecal specimens from most of the patients were found to contain thermophilic campylobacter sp. inquiry disclosed that all patients had consumed unpasteurised milk from local farms. examination of rectal swabs from the cattle concerned and milk socks yielded strains of campylobacter sp indistinguishable from those isol ...	1979	444995
