| [frequency of neurologic diseases in cattle]. | the cases of neurological diseases at the institute of animal neurology, university of berne, from 1985-1994 were assessed. during this period 532 cattle with neurological symptoms were examined. after 1980 differential diagnostic investigation of rabies negative brains were not pursued anymore and the number of examined cattle brains had declined to 25-30 per year. with the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (bse) in 1990 in switzerland the number of cattle brains examined has incre ... | 1997 | 9297232 |
| purification and partial characterization of a new enveloped rna virus (berne virus). | in berne (switzerland), a virus was isolated from a horse which was found to be serologically unrelated to known equine viruses. its growth was unaffected by iododeoxyuridine and it was inactivated by organic solvents. a purification procedure involving ammonium sulphate precipitation and sucrose gradient equilibrium centrifugation was developed and viral activities were monitored using infectivity and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. purified virions of density 1.16 g/ml were shown by negati ... | 1983 | 6886677 |
| prevalence study of staphylococcus aureus in quarter milk samples of dairy cows in the canton of bern, switzerland. | in the present study, the prevalence of s. aureus in mammary gland quarters of dairy cows in switzerland was estimated and a risk factor analysis was carried out. dairy cows were selected by one-step-cluster sampling with stratification by herd size. forty-seven of 50 randomly chosen farms participated in the study, resulting in 603 cows and 2388 quarter samples. milk samples were collected in all herds on two occasions two weeks apart. in 6% of cows (95% ci: 2.7-9.3%) at least one milk sample w ... | 2009 | 18692924 |

| antibodies to berne virus in horses and other animals. | after inoculation into 2 foals, berne virus induced neutralizing antibody, but did not cause clinical symptoms. in a horizontal study of seropositive mares and their offspring, a decline of maternal antibodies and a sudden synchronous seroconversion in all foals were observed, again without clinical symptoms. the virus is widespread in the swiss horse population and has been so during the last decade; rises in antibody titers were noted in 9% of paired sera sampled at random. positive reactions ... | 1984 | 6506447 |
| [reproductive performance in herens cows from 2003 to 2007]. | herens cows have been treated at the clinic for ruminants, university of berne, more frequently for fertility problems than other breeds. the aim of the study was to overview the reproductive performance of the herens breed by analyzing data sets of the herens breeding book and of the animal traffic database of switzerland. in addition, a questionnaire was sent to the breeders concerning aspects of management and care to identify a possible influence on the reproductive performance of the animal ... | 2011 | 21210367 |

| [epidemiology and risk factors of cecal dilatation/dislocation and abomasal displacement in dairy cows]. | the aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of cecal dilatation/dislocation (cdd) and abomasal displacement (da) in switzerland, to identify risk factors for both diseases, and to compare directly their epidemiologic situation. the epidemiologic study included 158 cases of cdd and 149 cases of da from the cases referred to both university clinics of berne and zurich. the results showed that da was associated with nutrition-related risk factors: use of minerals and sodium chloride, ina ... | 1999 | 10500416 |
| cross-sectional study of streptococcus species in quarter milk samples of dairy cows in the canton of bern, switzerland. | a total of 2538 quarter milk samples from 638 lactating dairy cows from 47 farms in the canton of bern, switzerland, were investigated for streptococci. a novel, simple and inexpensive laboratory method was used for the differentiation of streptococcus species, and a risk factor analysis was carried out. the prevalence in the quarter milk samples was 0.2 per cent for streptococcus agalactiae, 1.3 per cent for streptococcus uberis, 1.3 per cent for streptococcus dysgalactiae, 0.1 per cent for ent ... | 2010 | 20693505 |
