| trichinosis surveillance, united states, 1986. | trichinella spiralis is a parasite of carnivorous animals that causes the disease trichinosis. in the united states, people become infected by eating poorly cooked pork products or wild animal meat that is infected with the parasite. although fewer than 100 cases per year are reported to cdc, trichinosis continues to persist as a public health problem in this country. public health officials believe that the reported cases represent only a fraction of the total number of cases, since many of the ... | 1988 | 3148105 |

| the isolation of antibiotic-resistant salmonella from retail ground meats. | salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness. the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant salmonella is associated with the use of antibiotics in animals raised for food; resistant bacteria can be transmitted to humans through foods, particularly those of animal origin. we identified and characterized strains of salmonella isolated from ground meats purchased in the washington, d.c., area. | 2001 | 11642230 |
| prevalence of campylobacter spp., escherichia coli, and salmonella serovars in retail chicken, turkey, pork, and beef from the greater washington, d.c., area. | a total of 825 samples of retail raw meats (chicken, turkey, pork, and beef) were examined for the presence of escherichia coli and salmonella serovars, and 719 of these samples were also tested for campylobacter spp. the samples were randomly obtained from 59 stores of four supermarket chains during 107 sampling visits in the greater washington, d.c., area from june 1999 to july 2000. the majority (70.7%) of chicken samples (n = 184) were contaminated with campylobacter, and a large percentage ... | 2001 | 11722889 |
| emergence and re-emergence of vesicular stomatitis in the united states. | vesicular stomatitis (vs) is an important disease of cattle, horses and pigs. the causal agent is an arbovirus; vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) of which two distinct serotypes new jersey (nj) and indiana (in) have been described. the clinical signs in cattle and pigs are undistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease (fmd), one of the most devastating viral infections of livestock. vsv is the most important cause of vesicular disease in fmd-free countries in the americas, causing thousands of ou ... | 2002 | 12034487 |

| brucella suis infection associated with feral swine hunting - three states, 2007-2008. | historically, brucellosis from brucella suis infection occurred among workers in swine slaughterhouses. in 1972, the u.s. department of agriculture national brucellosis eradication program was expanded to cover swine herds. subsequent elimination of brucellosis in commercial swine resulted in a decrease in b. suis-associated illness in humans. currently, swine-associated brucellosis in humans in the united states is predominantly associated with exposure to infected feral swine (i.e., wild boar ... | 2009 | 19521334 |
| diagnostic characterization of a feral swine herd enzootically infected with brucella. | eighty feral swine were trapped from a herd that had been documented to be seropositive for brucella and which had been used for brucella abortus rb51 vaccine trials on a 7,100-hectare tract of land in south carolina. the animals were euthanized and complete necropsies were performed. samples were taken for histopathology, brucella culture, and brucella serology. brucella was cultured from 62 (77.5%) animals. brucella suis was isolated from 55 animals (68.8%), and all isolates were biovar 1. bru ... | 2007 | 17459850 |
| brucellosis in feral swine. | some 255 feral hogs were serologically tested for brucella titers at a location in the lower coastal plain of south carolina. eighteen percent were reactors. the organism was cultured from lymph node tissues in one 3+ years old boar and identified as brucella suis biotype 1. prevalence of sero-positive animals increased with age. there were no important differences between sexes. | 1976 | 16502703 |
| sequence variation among group iii f-specific rna coliphages from water samples and swine lagoons. | typing of f-specific rna (frna) coliphages has been proposed as a useful method for distinguishing human from animal fecal contamination in environmental samples. group ii and iii frna coliphages are generally associated with human wastes, but several exceptions have been noted. in the present study, we have genotyped and partially sequenced group iii frna coliphage field isolates from swine lagoons in north carolina (nc) and south carolina (sc), along with isolates from surface waters and munic ... | 2006 | 16461670 |
| rabies surveillance in the united states during 2003. | during 2003, 49 states and puerto rico reported 7,170 cases of rabies in nonhuman animals and 3 cases in human beings to the cdc. this represents a 10% decrease from the 7,967 cases in nonhuman animals and 3 cases in human beings reported in 2002. more than 91 (n = 6,556) were in wild animals, and 8.6% (614) were in domestic species (compared with 92.5% in wild animals and 74% in domestic species in 2002). the relative contributions of the major groups of animals were as follows: 2,635 raccoons ... | 2004 | 15643834 |
| brucellosis in two hunt club members in south carolina. | we report two cases of brucellosis in members of a hunt club, both of whom had killed and dressed wild boars. serologic studies usually suffice for screening patients with suspected or possible brucellosis; however, and as illustrated by our index case, one should ask the laboratory to dilute serum out beyond the customary 1:160 titer if results are negative yet the clinical suspicion high. hunters should be advised to wear gloves prior to dressing wild mammals. | 2004 | 15162669 |
