| differentiation of babesia bigemina, b. bovis, b. divergens and b. major by western blotting--first report of b. bovis in austrian cattle. | to establish an assay for the serological differentiation of bovine babesia species ( b. bigemina, b. bovis, b. divergens and b. major), antigens from experimentally infected cattle were western blotted and probed with homologous and heterologous sera. varying antigen patterns for each species allowed the determination of species-specific diagnostic antigens. blood samples from 36 naturally infected cattle from the province of styria were tested by indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (ifat ... | 2004 | 14745547 |
| [mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in wild animal species and cattle in styria/austria]. | infections with mycobacterium ovium ssp. paratuberculosis (m. paratuberculosis) are increasingly recognised worldwide. in addition to an increased prevalence of paratuberculosis in austrian cattle herds, recent years have also shown a rise in infections with m. paratuberculosis in wild red and roe deer, chamois and mouflon. during the period from june 2002 to september 2004, mesenteric lymph nodes were taken from a total of 483 wild animals hunted or found dead and from 338 deceased cattle. samp ... | 2005 | 16048043 |
| a decision-support system for real-time risk assessment of airborne spread of the foot-and-mouth disease virus. | [corrected] the application of epidemic models during the first days following the confirmation of a virus outbreak should significantly contribute to minimize its costs. here we describe the first version of a decision-support system for the calculation of the airborne spread of a virus and its application to foot-and-mouth disease (fmd). the goal is to provide geographical maps depicting infection risk for various animal species to support the national health authorities. | 2005 | 16342927 |
| detection of bovine torovirus in neonatal calf diarrhoea in lower austria and styria (austria). | faeces of 230 calves with and without diarrhoea collected during the winter period 2004/2005 in 100 austrian farms (styria and lower austria) were examined for viral, bacterial and parasitic enteropathogens. torovirus-specific nucleic acid confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was found in 12 of 230 calves (5.2%). ten of these calves were clinically ill, several of them showing signs of dehydration and abnormal faecal consistency at the time of sampling. computer assisted ... | 2006 | 16629982 |
| genetic diversity of recent bovine viral diarrhoea viruses from the southeast of austria (styria). | to characterise the bovine virus diarrhoea virus (bvdv) isolates circulating in the southeastern region of austria, namely in the province of styria, 71 blood samples collected between 1998 and 2000 from persistently infected cattle in 62 herds were subjected to genetic typing. for this, 288bp fragments from the 5' untranslated region (5'-utr) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction after reverse transcription (rt-pcr). the products were sequenced and used for phylogenetic analysis. seventy ... | 2003 | 12458175 |
| bhv-1 infections in styria (austria) caused by intra-community trade. | the present paper describes the prevalence of bhv-1 (bovine herpes virus 1) infections in the austrian province of styria from 1990 to 1997 and the corresponding eradication programme. based on the description of bhv-1 infections on seven holdings caused by intra-community trade, the additional guarantees granted under directive 64/432/eec (cec, 1964) are discussed and measures for improved protection of bhv-1-free regions suggested. | 1999 | 10422369 |

| associations between fasciolosis and milk production, and the impact of anthelmintic treatment in dairy herds. | liver fluke is a ubiquitous parasite that causes extensive production losses in cattle and is a zoonosis. the aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of fasciolosis in 178 dairy cattle herds in styria (federal state of austria) and its influence on production, to detect the risk factors for infection, and to explore effective strategies in management and control. a questionnaire on farm management, prophylaxis, and therapy was developed and applied. furthermore, production parameters ... | 2017 | 28585078 |
| the effect of bovine viral diarrhoea virus on fertility in dairy cows: two case-control studies in the province of styria, austria. | bovine viral diarrhoea (bvd) leads to substantial economic losses in beef and dairy herds worldwide. two case-control studies were carried out using production data from 1996 to 2012 to analyse the impact of bvd virus (bvdv) on fertility in dairy herds in the province of styria during an eradication programme. in study 1, herds in which at least one persistently bvdv-infected (pi) animal was detected (case herds) were compared to a group of control herds proven free from bvdv infection (contro h ... | 2016 | 27169147 |
| lifetime accumulation of (137)cs and (40)k in the ribs and sternum of an austrian "mountain pasture" cow. | the accumulation of natural and artificial radionuclides in humans and domestic animals is of interest in estimating effective doses of exposed humans and to decide whether animal products can be used for nutrition of the population. in this paper we present an investigation of the (137)cs- and (40)k-activity levels of the ribs and sternum of a "mountain pasture" cow, born in a highly contaminated region of styria, austria, at the time of the radioactive fallout following the chernobyl accident. ... | 2008 | 18950906 |
| prevalence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the tick ixodes ricinus in the styrian mountains of austria. | a total of 691 ixodes ricinus (22 male, 39 female, 501 nymphs and 129 larvae), the tick vector of lyme borreliosis, were collected by flagging from vegetation in 11 areas at altitudes between 789 m and 1350 m above sea level in mixed woodland with pasture land (cattle) in the province of styria in austria. the ticks were individually examined for presence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by dark-field microscopy and 107 of them by real-time pcr. attempts to cultivate borreliae were made in bsk ... | 2006 | 17160607 |
| bvdv infection risk in the course of the voluntary bvdv eradication program in styria/austria. | a total of 1362 persistently bvdv-infected animals were identified in 850 herds during the first 3 years of the voluntary bvdv eradication program in styria/austria. within the same period of time, the prevalence of bvdv-infected herds dropped from 7.3% to 2.2% of the 4412 herds covered by the program. the relative bvdv infection risk decreased at least four-fold in herds on common grazing and at least five-fold in herds which purchased cattle during the first 30 months of the bvd control progra ... | 2005 | 16183155 |
