| control and eradication of animal diseases in new zealand. | new zealand is free from all the major epidemic (office international des epizooties list a) diseases of animals and other important diseases, such as rabies and the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. the once endemic conditions of sheep scab (psoroptes ovis), bovine brucellosis (brucella abortus), hydatids (echinococcus granulosus) and aujeszky's disease have been eradicated. anthrax (bacillus anthracis) is no longer considered endemic and pullorum disease (salmonella pullorum) has effe ... | 2002 | 16032229 |
| anthrax epizootic in white-tailed deer. | bacillus anthracis caused high mortality among white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) on beulah island, desha county, arkansas. sixty-seven carcasses were located and the total loss was estimated between 200 and 300 deer. range conditions indicated that the deer herd had greatly exceeded carrying capacity. lesions in deer were similar to those ascribed to anthrax in domestic cattle, sheep, and goats. | 1970 | 16512117 |
| genotype analysis of bacillus anthracis strains circulating in bangladesh. | in bangladesh, anthrax, caused by the bacterium bacillus anthracis, is considered an endemic disease affecting ruminants with sporadic zoonotic occurrences in humans. due to the lack of knowledge about risks from an incorrect removal of infected carcasses, the disease is not properly monitored, and because of the socio-economic conditions, the situation is under-reported and under-diagnosed. for sensitive species, anthrax represents a fatal outcome with sudden death and sometimes bleeding from n ... | 2016 | 27082248 |
| bacillus anthracis: molecular taxonomy, population genetics, phylogeny and patho-evolution. | bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, manifests a particular bimodal lifestyle. this bacterial species alternates between short replication phases of 20-40 generations that strictly require infection of the host, normally causing death, interrupted by relatively long, mostly dormant phases as spores in the environment. hence, the b. anthracis genome is highly homogeneous. this feature and the fact that strains from nearly all parts of the world have been analysed for canonical si ... | 2011 | 21640849 |
