BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS eradication is carried on in co-operation with the U.S.A. Bureau of Animal Industry. 1, 242, 325 cattle were tested and 0.2% reacted. All...

An epidemiological model for echinococcosis in Zacatecas, Mexico, was developed. Of 6063 animals examined, 190 (3.1%) were found to have Echinococcus granulosus infections. Of these, 188 were pigs and 2 were cattle. Liver (99%) and lungs (1%) were the infected organs. The dynamics of the disease...

ARIZONA, 1942-43.-A 75% reduction in WARBLE FLY INFESTATION in cattle was achieved by the application by power spray of a mixture of 10 lb. derris root (5% rotenone) with 100 lb. fine sulphur in 1, 000 gal. water. Lice were also successfully eliminated.
COLORADO, 1942-43.-LISTERIASIS was diagnosed...

A single treatment of range cattle with derris in soapy water was ineffective in control of WARBLE FLIES....

ARIZONA, 1939-4.-Short notes are given on (1) negative bacteriological research into INFECTUOUS-KERATITIS in range cattle, (2) calf losses and their prevention by more skilful management, (3) control of ox-warble flies by derris, and (4) the breeding of strains of fowls resistant to FOWL PARALYSIS. ...

Echinococcus granulosus is a taeniid cestode and the etiological agent of an infectious zoonotic disease known as cystic echinococcosis (CE) or hydatid disease. CE is a serious public health concern in many parts of the world, including the Americas, where it is highly endemic in many regions. ...

We evaluated the genetic variation of Echinococcus G7 strain in larval and adult stages using a fragment of the mitochondrial cox1 gen. Viscera of pigs, bovines, and sheep and fecal samples of dogs were inspected for cystic and canine echinococcosis, respectively; only pigs had hydatid cysts....
