| on-farm starling populations and other environmental and management factors associated with the presence of cefotaxime and ciprofloxacin resistant e. coli among dairy cattle in ohio. | wild birds that forage around livestock facilities have been implicated as vectors of antimicrobial resistant organisms. although antimicrobial resistant bacteria have been isolated from european starlings (sturnus vulgaris), their role in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistant elements in livestock facilities needs further investigation. to determine whether on-farm starling density and other factors were associated with the presence of cefotaxime and ciprofloxacin resistant e. coli among ... | 2016 | 27836033 |
| spatial clustering of escherichia coli with reduced susceptibility to cefotaxime and ciprofloxacin among dairy cattle farms relative to european starling night roosts. | european starlings (sturnus vulgaris) have been implicated in the dispersal of zoonotic enteric pathogens. however, their role in disseminating antimicrobial-resistant organisms through their home range has not been clearly established. the aim of this study was to determine whether starling night roosts served as foci for spreading organisms with reduced susceptibility to antimicrobials among dairy cattle farms. bovine faecal pats were collected from 150 dairy farms in ohio. each farm was visit ... | 2017 | 27460156 |
| dairy cattle management factors that influence on-farm density of european starlings in ohio, 2007-2009. | potential dairy farm management and environmental factors that attract european starlings (sturnus vulgaris) to dairy farms were explored. during the period from 2007 to 2009, 150 dairy farms were each visited twice (once during the summer and again in the fall) and the number of starlings was recorded. risk factors were assessed for possible association with the number of starlings per milking cow (starling density), using a zero-inflated negative binomial model. starling density was higher on ... | 2015 | 25940010 |
| spatial epidemiology of escherichia coli o157:h7 in dairy cattle in relation to night roosts of sturnus vulgaris (european starling) in ohio, usa (2007-2009). | the goal of our study was to use spatial scan statics to determine whether the night roosts of european starlings (sturnus vulgaris) act as point sources for the dissemination of escherichia coli o157:h7 among dairy farms. from 2007 to 2009, we collected bovine faecal samples (n = 9000) and starling gastrointestinal contents (n = 430) from 150 dairy farms in northeastern ohio, usa. isolates of e. coli o157:h7 recovered from these samples were subtyped using multilocus variable-number tandem repe ... | 2014 | 24279810 |
| association of wild bird density and farm management factors with the prevalence of e. coli o157 in dairy herds in ohio (2007-2009). | our objective was to determine the role that european starlings (sturnus vulgaris) play in the epidemiology of escherichia coli o157:h7 in dairy cattle. we visited 150 dairy farms in ohio twice during summer and fall months from 2007 to 2009. fresh faecal pats from 30 lactating cows were collected during each visit. information on farm management and environmental variables was gathered through a questionnaire administered to the farm owner. the number of starlings observed on the farm was also ... | 2012 | 22333436 |
| use of dairies by postreproductive flocks of european starlings. | knowledge of the behavior and movement patterns of european starlings (sturnus vulgaris l.) is important to wildlife managers that seek to resolve conflicts at livestock facilities. we captured and radio tagged 10 starlings at each of 5 dairies in northeastern ohio. from september 19 to october 31, 2007, we obtained sufficient data from 40 birds to study their behavior and movements. the birds visited the dairies where they were initially captured (home sites) on 85% of the days, spending 58% of ... | 2013 | 23684017 |
