| actinobacillus seminis infection in sheep in the republic of south africa. iii. growth and cultural characteristics of a. seminis. | bacteriological tests were done on a large number of different strains of actinobacillus seminis and also, repeatedly, on the same culture or on different cultures taken periodically from the same donor animal. these tests were also applied to strains of a. seminis representing different serological types, which in turn were compared with strains of brucella ovis. the tests as applied proved that a. seminis strains have defined, morphological, staining, cultural and biochemical properties, altho ... | 1979 | 95214 |
| actinobacillus seminis infection in sheep in the republic of south africa. i. identification of the problem. | a clinical palpation and semen smear examination of 647 rams submitted to the regional veterinary laboratory during 1967 revealed that 42 (6,5%) of these animals had clinical epididymitis or orchitis, 6 (0,9%) showed other types of genital lesions and 98 (15,1%) suffered from subclinical genital infection. a. seminis and a. seminis-like organisms were isolated from semen specimens of 18 out of 35 rams with clinical epididymitis or orchitis, 25 out of 33 rams with subclinical infection and none o ... | 1979 | 551360 |
| actinobacillus seminis infection in sheep in the republic of south africa. ii. incidence and geographical distribution. | to obtain information on the incidence and distribution of actinobacillus seminis infection in the republic of south africa, a clinical and serological survey was carried out on 409 farms situated in 29 districts. all rams submitted for certification to the regional laboratory from 1/1/69 to 31/1/74 were included in a separate investigation. these particular rams represented different breeds and originated from farms in over 48 districts. examinations were also carried out on all rams on 11 stud ... | 1979 | 551361 |
| testicular pathology of merino rams. | the scrotal contents of 2,281 merino rams of wide age range examined at 3 abattoirs in perth, western australia, showed a 40% prevalence of rams with 1 or more gross lesions. the percentage prevalence of gross lesions found on autopsy were: adhesions 21, testicular atrophy/hypoplasia 14, testicular calcification 13, congenital cyst of the epididymis 6, cryptorchidism 4, chronic epididymitis/scrotal abscesses 2, varicocoele 2, testicular aplasia less than 1, seminoma less than 1. the prevalence o ... | 1978 | 743044 |
| serological comparison between histophilus ovis, actinobacillus seminis and brucella ovis. | the serological relationships between 4 strains of histophilus ovis, the neotype strain of actinobacillus seminis and brucella ovis were examined using a cross-absorption complement-fixation technique. it was found that the 4 strains of h. ovis were serologically homologous and that an incomplete relationship existed between these organisms and a. seminis. anteriserums prepared against one strain of h. ovis and the strain of a. seminis gave a weak, apparently non-specific cross-reaction with br. ... | 1978 | 743054 |
| saprophytic and keratinophilic fungi isolated from desert and cultivated soils continuously exposed to cement dust particles in egypt. | forty soil samples collected from desert (uncultivated) and cultivated soils, exposed continuously to cement dust were screened for their content of saprophytic and keratinophilic fungi using the hair baiting technique and the dilution plate method. using the hair baiting technique, 21 genera and 31 species were collected from 20 samples of each of desert (15 genera and 21 species) and cultivated (17 genera and 24 species) soils, on sabouraud's dextrose agar. these included chrysosporium keratin ... | 1992 | 1325092 |
| isolation of actinobacillus seminis from rams in the united kingdom. | actinobacillus seminis was isolated from the semen of five rams on four farms. four of the rams had abnormal semen and three were also infertile. the isolates of a seminis showed similar phenotypic profiles and electrophoretic protein patterns to the type strain of a seminis but were distinct from histophilus ovis previously isolated from rams with epididymitis in scotland. the infection appeared to be subclinical but two of the five rams had palpable abnormalities of their testes. three rams we ... | 1991 | 1746101 |
| a model for demonstrating the adhesion of actinobacillus seminis to epithelial cells. | the objective of this study was to demonstrate that a field isolate of actinobacillus seminis (as8c) will adhere to epithelial cells and that this adhesion can be inhibited by pretreating the bacteria with mouse serum containing polyclonal antibodies (poabs) prepared against this isolate. an indirect fluorescent antibody test, transmission electron microscopy, and phase-contrast microscopy confirmed the adhesion of as8c to an established culture of bovine kidney epithelial cells (bkecs). in a ba ... | 1991 | 1884292 |
| trials with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the diagnosis of subclinical genital infections in rams caused by histophilus ovis and actinobacillus seminis. | the performance of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was evaluated in the serological diagnosis of subclinical genital infection in 6 naturally infected ram flocks and 2 experimentally infected ram hoggets. the test employs lipopolysaccharide (lps) antigen prepared by autoclaving from actinobacillus seminis and histophilus ovis. a total of 193 sheep (118 unmated virgin rams and 75 mature breeding rams) were examined clinically, serologically (by elisa) and bacteriologically (semen bac ... | 1990 | 2220189 |

| genetic homogeneity of actinobacillus seminis isolates. | isolates of actinobacillus seminis from clinical cases and reference sources had markedly similar bam h1 restriction endonuclease profiles but were readily distinguishable from the bam h1 profiles of the histophilus-haemophilus group as well as from a lignieresii. for epidemiological purposes this lack of interstrain variation in bam h1 profiles makes restriction endonuclease analysis of isolates of a seminis unsuitable. | 1989 | 2740636 |
| characterisation of histophilus ovis and related organisms by restriction endonuclease analysis. | the banding profiles generated by bam h1 restriction endonuclease cleavage of bacterial dna from clinical and reference isolates of histophilus ovis, haemophilus somnus and related bacteria were compared. h. ovis, h. somnus and haemophilus agni isolates were found to have distinct similarities in banding profiles characterised by 10 common bands between 2.0 and 9.6 kilobases (kb). the close taxonomic relationship of these isolates was reinforced by these findings. the reference isolates examined ... | 1986 | 3026298 |
| rapid identification of haemophilus somnus, histophilus ovis and actinobacillus seminis using the api zym system. | the api zym system, a commercially-available technique that measures bacterial enzyme activity was used to test 43 isolates identified as h. somnus, h. ovis or a. seminis and 19 from related genera. the enzyme patterns resulting from the api zym differentiated h. somnus and h. ovis from a. seminis and related genera but not from each other. an identification scheme based on 9 of the enzymes in the api zym and a few simple biochemical tests is proposed for the rapid and reliable identification of ... | 1988 | 3051648 |
| comparison and partial characterization of the protein profiles and outer membrane antigens of actinobacillus species isolated from ram lambs with epididymitis. | three monoclonal antibodies (lg17, lg30, lg33) were used in the indirect fluorescent antibody test, the elisa, and the immunoelectrotransfer blot technique to identify group-specific and strain-specific epitopes on the outer membranes of actinobacillus seminis, a actinomycetemcomitans, and 17 field isolates of actinobacillus spp. the field isolates had been obtained by bacteriologic culture of specimens from ram lambs with epididymitis. only antibody lg33 consistently had specificity for an oute ... | 1988 | 3073675 |

| ovine contagious epididymitis: a review. | ovine contagious epididymitis is predominantly associated with brucella ovis, actinobacillus seminis and a variety of organisms including histophilus ovis. transmission occurs venereally or by homosexual activity and, in the case of actinobacillus seminis, ewe to lamb transmission is probably important. a chronic infection, mainly in the cauda epididymis may result in formation of spermatic granulomata and a reduction in ram fertility. eradication of ovine brucellosis can be achieved by serologi ... | 1982 | 6762755 |
