| 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 ... | 2010 | 20494156 |

| epidemiological investigations of outbreaks of bovine ephemeral fever in israel. | in two epidemics of bovine ephemeral fever (bef) in israel, one in 1990 and one in 1999, the virus was probably carried by vectors transported by air currents across the rift valley and through the red sea trough. the disease broke out under optimal ecological conditions among vulnerable cattle populations and spread rapidly; it developed in the spring and summer and ended soon after the daily average ambient temperature fell below 16 degrees c in late autumn. the proportion of herds affected re ... | 2002 | 12180660 |
| what can akabane disease teach us about other arboviral diseases. | viruses of the simbu serogroup cause lesions to foetuses that are seen at birth and that correlate with the stage of pregnancy at which the dam first contracts the virus. the simbu serogroup comprises arboviruses known to cause outbreaks of abnormal parturitions in domestic ruminants; these abnormalities include abortion, stillbirth, and congenitally deformed neonates. simbu serogroup members include: akabane virus (akav), aino virus, cache valley virus, and schmallenberg virus. lately, dairy he ... | 2016 | 27723047 |
| genetic and phenotypic analysis of daily israeli holstein milk, fat, and protein production as determined by a real-time milk analyzer. | the objective was to test the hypothesis that more frequent but less accurately analyzed milk components may give a more representative measure of a cow's total lactation production. daily records for milk production and fat and protein concentration collected by the afilab recording system (afimilk, kibbutz afikim, israel) from january 2014 to january 2016 from 47 large kibbutz (communal) herds distributed throughout israel with a total of 37,486 israeli holstein cows were compared with the sam ... | 2016 | 27720152 |
