investigations on a babesia isolated from scottish sheep.the pathognomic, serologic and morphometric identity of a babesia sp. recently isolated from sheep in argyllshire was studied. initially, problems were encountered due to the occurrence of eperythrozoon ovis as a contaminant of the isolate and treatment with neoarsphenamine failed to remove it. finally, a combination of oxytetracycline therapy and rapid passage allowed isolation of the babesia sp. and its preservation in the form of a glycerolized, infected blood stabilate. inoculation of the st ...19817329723
haemobartonella felis infection in cats from the glasgow area.a survey of 155 cats for haemobartonella felis infection in the glasgow area revealed a prevalence of 23.2 per cent. the infection occurred in all age groups and there was no significant difference between sex or breed type. infection with h felis was more prevalent among cats with fleas and those with feline leukaemia virus infection than among the other cats in the sample. h felis organisms identified were mainly coccoid with diameters between 0.63 micron and 1.73 micron. rod forms, found in t ...19863787999
infectious agents associated with respiratory disease in pheasants.in a case-control study of the infectious agents associated with natural outbreaks of respiratory disease in pheasants, 28 batches of birds from sites affected by disease and eight batches of birds from unaffected sites were examined by six veterinary laboratories in england, wales and scotland, and tested for mycoplasmas, other bacteria and viruses. sinusitis was the commonest sign of disease and was associated with mycoplasma gallisepticum as detected by pcr in the trachea (p < 0.05) and conju ...200212054135

keratoconjunctivitis in a hill sheep flock.keratoconjunctivitis affected many ewes on a large, experimental husbandry, hill farm in early and midwinter in two consecutive years. small sporadic outbreaks occurred among ewes during the following winters and among ewes and lambs in the summer and autumn. mycoplasma conjunctivae was isolated from conjunctival swabs taken from affected sheep. keratoconjunctivitis had not been recognised on the farm before and the infection was probably introduced with purchased rams. prompt treatment prevente ...19883363825

mycoplasma species isolated from harbor porpoises (phocoena phocoena) and a sowerby's beaked whale (mesoplodon bidens) stranded in scottish waters.mycoplasma species were recovered from 10 cetacean carcasses that stranded around scotland. mycoplasma phocicerebrale was isolated from the lungs of three harbor porpoises (phocoena phocoena) as well as from the liver of one of these animals. novel mycoplasma spp. were isolated from the lungs of five additional harbor porpoises and the kidney of another. in addition an isolate closely related to mycoplasma species 13cl was obtained from the kidney of a sowerby's beaked whale (mesoplodon bidens). ...201121270010

prevalence of pasteurella multocida and other respiratory pathogens in the nasal tract of scottish calves.the prevalence of pasteurella multocida, a cause of bovine respiratory disease, was studied in a random sample of beef suckler and dairy farms throughout scotland, by means of a cross-sectional survey. a total of 637 calves from 68 farms from six geographical regions of scotland were sampled between february and june 2008. deep nasal swabs were taken, and samples that were culture-positive for p multocida were confirmed by pcr. prevalence of p multocida was 17 per cent (105 of 616 calves); 47 pe ...201021257416
prevalence of bartonella species, haemoplasmas and toxoplasma gondii in cats in scotland.the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence rates for select infectious agents of cats presented to the royal (dick) school of veterinary studies at the university of edinburgh, scotland. whole blood, serum, and oral mucosal and nail bed swabs were collected. while ehrlichia species, anaplasma species or rickettsia felis dna were not amplified from any cat, 44.2% of the cats had evidence of infection or exposure to either a bartonella species (15.3% were seropositive and 5.8% pol ...201121570883
