[current zoonoses from the food hygiene point of view (author's transl)].of the numerous zoonoses part of which are reportable, according to the federal communicable diseases act, the food hygienist attributes topicality at present to salmonellosis, brucellosis, toxoplasmosis, taeniasis (t. saginata), trichinellosis, and sarcosporidiosis. in salmonellosis, combating is directed to breeding and keeping of salmonella-free flocks, poultry offering favourable conditions for this purpose. moreover, one tries to decontaminate feeds through certain pelleting machines with t ...1979113956
detection of igm and igg against hepatitis e virus in serum and meat juice samples from pigs at slaughter in bavaria, germany.hepatitis e virus (hev) is an emerging foodborne pathogen with domestic and wild pigs (and likely other species such as deer or rabbits) recognized as reservoir. pathogenesis in pigs usually leads to an asymptomatic course of disease. since there is no enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) kit for the detection of anti-hev antibodies in pigs commercially available, the objective of this study was to assess the seroprevalence in fattening pigs at slaughter and at herd level using a newly deve ...201222690762
age-related and regional differences in the prevalence of hepatitis e virus-specific antibodies in pigs in germany.an increasing number of acute autochthonous human hepatitis e virus (hev)-infections was noticed in germany and other developed countries, most likely the result of a zoonotic virus transmission from pig, wild boar and deer. currently there is still a lack of profound data concerning the actual prevalence of hev-specific antibodies in domestic pig herds in germany, in particular for regions with high pig density, and its age-dependency. 2273 domestic pig sera were collected in 2011 mainly from b ...201324238666
hepatitis e virus in wild rabbits and european brown hares in germany.recently, a change of hepatitis e from being a typical travel-associated disease to an autochthonous zoonosis in germany was observed. an increasing number of autochthonous infections with the hepatitis e virus (hev) have been recognized in developed countries. venison from wild boar is already known to be a potential source of infection, if not prepared properly by the consumer. in germany, certain wild animals are known to be a reservoir for hev. however, current information is missing about e ...201728371421
[Effect of a synthetic GnRF vaccine (Improvac®) on daily weight gain and carcass quality of boars. A field trial in Bavaria].Objective: The effects of vaccination against gonadotropin releasing factor (GnRF) with Improvac® (Pfizer Animal Health) were compared with surgical castration in fattening pigs. Material and methods: A total of 205 pigs were surgically castrated (group K) and 191 were vaccinated twice (group V) using the boar taint vaccine (Improvac®; 2ml s.c.). The first dose was administered atthe age of 12 weeks when the animals were moved into the fattening unit and the second dose in week 18, 4-6 weeks ...201122167079
[analysis of the situation of swine influenza in the districts upper bavaria, swabia, freiburg and tübingen based on antibody profiles of piglets from bavarian breeding farms].a total of 1026 serum samples from 388 pigs from three bavarian rearing farms in the region of swabia were investigated in the course of investigations into the development of antibodies against influenza a virus subtypes h1n1, h1n2 and h3n2 by haemagglutination inhibition test during the period from november 2002 to february 2004. there were no signs of respiratory disease during this period. the antibody titres decreased steadily in this period which corresponds to the kinetics of maternally-d ...201021043147
qualitative and quantitative detection of human pathogenic yersinia enterocolitica in different food matrices at retail level in bavaria.yersinia enterocolitica is a major foodborne pathogen and the third most important bacteriological cause of diarrhea in germany. however, studies investigating the occurrence of human pathogenic y. enterocolitica in food at the retail level are very rare. most of the studies published so far show qualitative but not quantitative data concerning the prevalence of this human pathogen. in this study the qualitative and quantitative assessment of human pathogenic y. enterocolitica in different food ...201021034270
diet and mobility in early medieval bavaria: a study of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes.this study investigates patterns of mobility in early medieval bavaria through a combined study of diet and associated burial practice. carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were analyzed in human bone samples from the late roman cemetery of klettham and from the early medieval cemeteries of altenerding and straubing-bajuwarenstrasse. for dietary comparison, samples of faunal bone from one late roman and three early medieval settlement sites were also analyzed. the results indicate that the average ...201020853478
epidemiological data on pathogenic yersinia enterocolitica in southern germany during 2000-2006.yersinia enterocolitica is the most common species causing enteric yersiniosis, which is still the third most frequently reported foodborne gastroenteritis in europe. y. enterocolitica generally causes sporadic human infections, and outbreaks are rare. the most important infection source of yersiniosis is believed to be contaminated pork and pork products. data on the prevalence of pathogenic y. enterocolitica in animals and foodstuffs are very limited and old; thus, more information on the exte ...200818564908
occurrence of listeria spp. in mattress dust of farm children in bavaria.several epidemiological studies have shown that the farm environment impacts allergy protection mechanisms in children. these associations are not well understood, but it is thought that contact to microorganisms may mediate this effect. for example, heat-inactivated listeria (l.) monocytogenes have been successfully used as an adjuvant in mouse immunotherapy to modulate airway hyperreactivity and inflammation. in investigating the link between farming lifestyle and prevention of childhood aller ...200818377890
endotoxin concentration in modern animal houses in southern bavaria.agricultural work, particularly livestock farming, is considered to be a notable risk factor for occupational diseases. endotoxin as a major component of organic dust causes adverse health effects of the airways among farmers. endotoxin concentrations in airborne and settled dust were measured in modern, naturally ventilated animal houses for different species. median values of airborne inhalable endotoxin ranged from 16.9 eu/m3 for dairy cattle, 557.9 eu/m3 for beef cattle, 668.7 eu/m3 for pigs ...200717655190
investigations of the potential risk factors associated with cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in bavaria, germany.in order to identify the management and feeding practices that might have contributed to the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (bse) in bavaria, germany, information from 110 dairy farms on which a case of bse had been reported was compared with information derived from a questionnaire sent to approximately 10,000 bavarian farms on which no case of bse had been reported up to february 2003. representative information was obtained from 4006 dairy farms. the results indicated that in ...200616617042
[meat juice elisa for determination of salmonella incidence in slaughter pig herds in bavaria].meat samples from diaphragm pillars were randomly taken from 3,048 pigs of 52 bavarian herds after slaughtery. meat-juice was collected and tested for salmonella antibodies in an indirect elisa. the number of samples was calculated according to the annual production of slaughter pigs of a farm outlined in the "leitlinien für ein programm zur reduzierung des eintrags von salmonellen durch schlachtschweine in die fleischgewinnung" from february 05th, 1998 (< 100 slaughter pigs: 45 samples, 100-200 ...200111225495
corynebacterium species nasal carriage in pigs and their farmers in bavaria, germany: implications for public health.reports on cases of human diphtheria caused by toxigenic corynebacterium ulcerans that were linked to occupational swine contact as well as isolation of c ulcerans from wild boars have suggested that pigs might serve as reservoir for human infections. therefore, a prevalence study on corynebacterium species nasal carriage in pigs and their farmers was performed between august 1 and december 31, 2009, in 41 swine farms from bavaria, germany. all 411 asymptomatic pigs and 29 of 30 healthy farmers ...201425037890
mitochondrial genotyping of fascioloides magna from bavaria, germany.in last few years, a great effort has been made to understand genetic interrelationships of european and north american populations of giant liver fluke fascioloides magna (trematoda, fasciolidae). in europe, spatial distribution of this parasite is evidently dynamic and ongoing process since new f. magna populations have constantly been emerging. most recently, occurrence of f. magna in red deer (cervus elaphus), sika deer (cervus nippon), fallow deer (dama dama), roe deer (capreolus capreolus) ...201729035851
