wasps are the cause of an increasing mastitis problem in dairy cattle in israel.the german wasp vespula germanica (fabr.) (hymenoptera: vespidae) has been observed to injure dairy cows teats, causing lesions which can lead to mastitis. the number of dairy herds in israel reported to be affected in this way has increased from five prior to 1989 to 32 from 1989 to 1993. likewise, the geographical distribution of the colonies of these wasps has expanded from the galilee to the northern negev. most cases of mastitis appeared during august and september when the wasps were most ...19989684301
temporospatial clustering of foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in israel and palestine, 2006-2007.foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) is endemic to the middle east and there is a perception that political instability and limited resources have led to the uncontrolled circulation of fmd virus throughout the region. certain aspects of fmd epidemiology in the middle east remain unknown. the goal of this study was to identify the geographical location, temporal extent and direction of spread of clusters of 70 fmd outbreaks reported in israel and palestine from february 4, 2006, through july 15, 2007. t ...200919245666
assessment of the productivity effects associated with epizootic hemorrhagic disease in dairy herds.epizootic hemorrhagic disease is caused by a culicoides-borne orbivirus. in cattle, the disease is characterized by reduced milk production and mortality. recent outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) in north africa, israel, and turkey increase the risk of its invasion into central and northern europe. an outbreak of ehdv in israel during the fall of 2006 enabled an assessment of the consequent production losses to the dairy cattle industry. reduction in milk production and inv ...201020494156
using synoptic systems' typical wind trajectories for the analysis of potential atmospheric long-distance dispersal of lumpy skin disease virus.lumpy skin disease virus (lsdv) is an infectious, arthropod-borne virus that affects mostly cattle. solitary outbreaks have occurred in israel in 1989 and 2006. in both years, the outbreaks occurred parallel to a severe outbreak in egypt, and lsdv was hypothesized to be transmitted from egypt to israel via long-distance dispersal (ldd) of infected vectors by wind. the aim of this study was to identify possible events of such transport. at the first stage, we identified the relevant synoptic syst ...201726011073
