| evaluation of bovine abortion cases and tissue suitability for identification of infectious agents in california diagnostic laboratory cases from 2007 to 2012. | establishing a definitive cause of bovine abortion is a challenging problem faced by veterinary practitioners and diagnosticians. detection of an infectious or noninfectious source for abortion may facilitate interventions that mitigate future fetal loss in the herd. the purposes of this study were to identify the most common causes of bovine abortion in cases submitted to the california animal health and food safety laboratory system, davis (cahfs) from 2007 to 2013 and to determine if detectio ... | 2016 | 26679514 |
| genome report: identification and validation of antigenic proteins from pajaroellobacter abortibovis using de novo genome sequence assembly and reverse vaccinology. | epizootic bovine abortion (eba), or "foothill abortion," is the leading cause of beef cattle abortion in california and has also been reported in nevada and oregon. in the 1970s, the soft-shelled tick ornithodoros coriaceus, or "pajaroello tick," was confirmed as the disease-transmitting vector. in 2005, a novel deltaproteobacterium was discovered as the etiologic agent of eba (aoeba), recently named pajaroellobacter abortibovis this organism cannot be grown in culture using traditional microbio ... | 2017 | 28040777 |
