Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) Killing Idaho Deer Behavior displayed by the dying deer is consistent with epizootic hemorrhagic disease or one similar to it, FandG conservation officer Dave Cadwallader said. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease is common in southern states with high summer temperatures, he said. It was considered a new disease of deer, and the name "epizootic hemorrhagic disease" was suggested to describe its main clinical and pathological features. www.rense.com /general40/kling.htm   (1052 words)

DNR - Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) Since these initial confirmed outbreaks of EHD, documented epizootics have occurred in white-tailed deer in South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming and Alberta, Canada. Die-offs involving small numbers of deer - as experienced in South Dakota and Nebraska - occur almost annually, and the disease appears to be enzootic in these areas. Useful aids in obtaining a diagnosis are the epizootic nature of the disease, its seasonal occurrence, and its spectacular hemorrhagic lesions. www.michigan.gov /dnr/0,1607,7-153-10370_12150_12220-26647--,00.html   (875 words)

Anthrax Epizootic in Zimbabwe, 1978-1980: Due to Deliberate Spread Yet in the rest of the world, epizootics generally occur in areas that are known to have produced anthrax outbreaks in the past, where there is assumed to be low-density contamination of the soil. Epizootics do not spread beyond these areas, al though sporadic cases are seen in areas that lack a history of anthrax. Their work was initiated partly in response to the Zimbabwe epizootic to resolve whether insect vectors could account for the massive spread of disease. www.anthraxvaccine.org /zimbabwe.html   (6677 words)

Epizootic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An epizootic is the nonhuman equivalent of an epidemic, meaning that large numbers of animals are infected with a disease. As in epidemics, high population density is a major contributing factor to epizootics, with aquaculture being one notable example of an industry plagued by disease because of the large number of fish in a small area. Due to the pathogens' specificity to a host, the risk to humans and other non-target species in the environment is minimal and the capacity for control has proven to be quite effective. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Epizootic   (150 words)

Extension of the raccoon rabies epizootic - United States, 1992 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report - Find Articles The extension of the epizootic was largely responsible for the 43% increase in the total number of reported cases of animal rabies in the United States from 1990 (4881) to 1991 (6975). Since the raccoon rabies epizootic was first detected in New Jersey in November 1989, more than 1880 cases of animal rabies have been diagnosed, with 460 cases in 1990, 983 in 1991, and 420 as of July 14, 1992. The raccoon rabies epizootic was first detected in New York in the summer of 1990 and now extends on a 350-mile front involving 24 counties of southern New York. findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0906/is_n36_v41/ai_12686809?lstpn=article_results&lstpc=search&lstpr=external&lstprs=other&lstwid=1&lstwn=search_results&lstwp=body_middle   (861 words)

Culture-dependent characterization of the microbial community associated with epizootic shell disease lesions in ... ABSTRACT Epizootic shell disease in the American lobster is an important factor affecting lobster fisheries in and around the Long Island Sound. Chitinoclastic bacteria comprised a very small traction of bacteria present in the lesions, suggesting that their role in epizootic shell disease may be limited. Epizootic shell disease has been found at 22.7% and 11.6% in wild lobster populations from eastern Long Island Sound to Buzzards Bay, respectively (Castro and Angell 2000). findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0QPU/is_3_24/ai_n15861070?lstpn=article_results&lstpc=search&lstpr=external&lstprs=other&lstwid=1&lstwn=search_results&lstwp=body_middle   (875 words)

The Coyote's Role in a Rabies Epizootic This second case of human rabies with the Texas canine strain of rabies virus emphasizes the fact that, because it involves the domestic dog population, the canine rabies epizootic is particularly dangerous to humans due to increased exposure rates. From 1988 through June 1995, the epizootic encompassed 20 South Texas counties and 644 laboratory-confirmed cases of canine rabies consisting of 245 dogs, 327 coyotes, 25 raccoons, 21 cats, 15 cows, 5 bobcats, 4 horses, 1 goat, and 1 skunk (Fig. To prevent the translocation of animals that play a critical role in the epidemiology of the canine rabies epizootic (and the gray fox rabies epizootic in west-central Texas) to unaffected portions of Texas or to other states/countries, a statewide rabies quarantine was enacted in January 1995 (Rules of the Board of Health, Rabies Control Act). texnat.tamu.edu /symposia/coyote/p8.htm   (2221 words)

Human Anthrax Associated With an Epizootic Among Livestock --- North Dakota, 2000 This report summarizes the investigation of this case, which was associated with an anthrax epizootic among livestock in North Dakota, and emphasizes the importance of increased vigilance for human cases of anthrax during and following outbreaks of anthrax among livestock. This case was associated with an anthrax epizootic in North Dakota, during which 32 farms were quarantined for anthrax in 2000*, compared with an average of two farms per year during the preceding 40 years (Figure 1). During the epizootic, which extended from July 6 through September 24, 2000, 157 animals died on 31 farms on which 62 persons were involved with animal care, vaccination, specimen processing, or carcass disposal. www.cdc.gov /mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5032a1.htm   (1439 words)

CDC - West Nile Virus Surveillance in Connecticut in 2000: An Intense Epizootic without High Risk for Severe Human ... The town of residence and likely exposure to WN virus was Norwalk, a town in Fairfield County with a high level of epizootic activity (peak number of 24 dead crows reported in a week and a density of 1.05 dead crows per square mile in a week). The level of epizootic activity in coastal Fairfield county initially paralleled that in Staten Island, New York, the only county with a clear outbreak of human illness in 2000 (17). Thus, the ecology of the area of Connecticut where the most intense epizootic activity was documented, the seroprevalence survey area, and Staten Island may differ sufficiently that, although they are similar in population density, the intrinsic potential for a human outbreak of WN virus may be very different. www.cdc.gov /ncidod/EID/vol7no4/hadler.htm   (4552 words)

Epizootic Enterocolitis of the rabbit: Review of current research It was only in mid-1998 that mortality began to be controlled, after establishing very strict hygiene and sanitation measures, combined with the use of certain antibiotics (bacitracin, tiamulin). At the present time it is estimated that 90 — 95% of breeding colonies are or have been affected by rabbit epizootic enterocolitis (ERE), whatever the rabbit race and strain. Several arguments supported a viral hypothesis in ERE, particularly the epizootic nature and the diffusion of the pathogen, the transmissibility of the disease and the existence of histologically-proven lung lesions suggesting a viral infection (Wyers, 1998). wcentre.tours.inra.fr /urbase/internet/resultats/enterocolite/licois2.htm   (3078 words)

section paris By synchronizing the towns to the epizootic front, we may be able to determine a ``typical'' response to the epidemic. The salient point is that neither trapper data nor nuisance data is changed dramatically during the period of the epizootic, preliminary evidence that the population structure of the underlying raccoon population may not have been radically altered during the period. As to where rabies is moving now that the epizootic front is past, the disease is now endemic, and continues to appear ``haphazardly'' about the state (based on Moran's I calculations and the form of the local epidemic activity curve). www.nku.edu /~longa/paris/paris.html   (4081 words)

Update: Raccoon Rabies Epizootic United States, 1996 During 1994-1995, however, a focus of raccoon rabies re-emerged in the 11 counties that were affected first by the epizootic during 1990-1991: from 1994 through 1995, the total number of raccoon rabies cases in these 11 counties increased 245% (from 40 to 138, respectively). Both epizootic foci continued to spread, and by late 1994 and early 1995, cases were confirmed in the central section of the state. The raccoon rabies epizootic has continued to spread northward up the Champlain basin and the Connecticut River valley; in 1995, cases were detected in all 14 counties within the state. aepo-xdv-www.epo.cdc.gov /wonder/prevguid/m0045024/m0045024.asp   (1577 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: ) "Epizootic hemorrhagic disease is a viral disease very similar to bluetongue in sheep and cattle, but EHD tends to be most common in white-tailed deer. When you see an abnormal number of dead deer in August and September, and the mortalities are near water holes, epizootic hemorrhagic disease is often the culprit." Davis agreed with Rollins that so far, the first-hand reports he's received are consistent with bluetongue and/or epizootic hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer. But we cannot entirely rule out other diseases." Davis said neither bluetongue virus nor epizootic hemorrhagic disease are a threat to public health, but since a definite diagnosis is yet to be made, extreme caution should be used when handling dead deer in the affected area. www.promedmail.org /pls/promed/f?p=2400:1202:2527209997300794380::NO::F2400_P1202_CHECK_DISPLAY,F2400_P1202_PUB_MAIL_ID:X,34396   (874 words)

Rabies Epizootic Among Foxes Periodic epizootics (epidemics among animals) have been documented every 3-5 years; one is currently underway. Epizootics tend to occur early fall through early spring. Because elimination of rabies from the fox population is impractical, a mainstay of preventing human rabies is to reduce the chance of rabies transmission from wildlife reservoirs to domestic animals that in turn can transmit the fatal virus to humans. www.epi.hss.state.ak.us /bulletins/docs/b2002_01.htm   (736 words)

[No title] Experimental infection of animal models with the enzootic and epizootic VEE subtype IE viruses resulted in no significant difference in viremia or virulence. The lack of a small animal model for equine virulence may necessitate the use of experimental infection of equines to definitively determine which substitutions are responsible for its epizootic phenotype.
