Ramsey

A dog named Ramsey snuggles in a quilt. Dog owners, dog breeders and dog rescue groups are struggling with the rise in canine brucellosis in Montana.

While canine brucellosis (scientific name Brucella canis) has been known in the U.S. since 1966 and in Montana since 2015, a recent rise in the number of dogs testing positive for the disease has led the Montana Department of Livestock to issue warnings to dog breeders, dog owners and dog shelters.

Sadly, the disease has no cure, so the dire recommendation for infected dogs is usually euthanasia.

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition.

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A...
