Pinkeye In Cattle

This virus is an extremely common cause of respiratory disease and often results in chronic, often life-long, infection with intermittent recurrences causing respiratory and sometimes eye disease. It is spread easily through airborne respiratory secretions and direct contact with a carrier cat or contaminated objects. Calicivirus a common viral infectious respiratory disease, it can also cause mouth sores resulting in severe oral pain. Spread by direct contact with an infected cat or by contact with contaminated objects. The virus is very resistant to disinfectants and persists in the environment. Panleukopenia a severe, highly infectious and sometimes fatal disease of the gastrointestinal tract, the immune system and the nervous system. The disease is named for the characteristic severe decrease in white blood cells, the body’s defense against disease. The virus is very persistent in the environment. This virus spreads by direct contact with infected cats or by contact with viral particles in the

The meats that consumers eat are slabs of a cow’s muscle tissue and the infectious meat is only found in the nerve tissue. Of course there is the possibility of having some of the contaminated meat passed on to the meat that consumers eat when the cows are cut, but the chances are very slim. Since this disease is contracted through eating contaminated meat, the site of infection should be in the digestive tract, yet this disease eats away at the brain and nervous system.

The reason I chose to use my show cattle as the main part of my video is because they are really important to me and have probably had biggest impact on my life as a whole. For the last 10 years I have been showing cattle and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. Showing cattle has taught me more about life and responsibility then anything else in my life ever has. Throughout the years of showing my cattle I have made many friends and been lots of places. The reason I chose the pictures that I did for my show cattle part of the video is because they show the way that I have grown and learned more over the last few years about showing cattle in specific. Having pictures of multiple years of calves that I have showed, explain how my showing abilities have improved since I started showing cattle. I mixed the different cattle that I have showed so that my video would show different perspectives of my show calves and the different breeds that I have showed. These pictures help me look back at the different shows I have been too with different calves helps me understand what I have improved on. Each calf that I have had, has been different in many ways, and each one has made me go out of my comfort zone in different ways and helped me learn new things such as, showing a different breed that I had no experience in, breaking calves to lead, new techniques for showing and prep, and figuring out new feed rations for my calves.

The organism adheres to the epithelial cells in its host by pilli. This opportunistic pathogen can affect people of all ages and specifically targets patients that have immune deficiencies, debilitating diseases, and infants in the NICU. Patients are at greater risk of contracting the organism if they have recently had a surgery, mechanical ventilation, central venous catheter, arterial catheterization, inhalation medication therapy, tracheal tubes, or have low apgar scores. It can cause a variety of diseases and infections such as urinary tract infections, meningitis, pneumonia, respiratory tract infections, keratoconjunctivitis, osteomyelitis, keratitis, endocarditis, cutaneous infections, and endophthalmitis.

However, the infectious agent, although most highly concentrated in nervous tissue, can be found in virtually all tissues throughout the body, including blood (http://news.bbc.co.uk). Scientists believe that BSE is transmitted from animals to humans when humans eat meat contaminated with nervous tissue from infected animals. However, milk and milk products are not believed to pose any risk for transmitting mad cow disease to humans. Experiments have shown that milk from mad cow-infected cows has not caused infections (http://www.emedicinehealth.com).

The meat could be getting a disease anywhere from the time they leave the barn to the time they hit the consumers plate. (Hedges) When the cattle leave the barn they go to a huge packing plant which has cattle from hundreds of different lots and the cattle get handled by multiple people. They could be getting a disease from one of the other bunches of cattle that came in from a different state or could be coming from the people that are cutting the meat and processing it. After the meat leaves the processing plant it could also be getting a disease in the grocery store if it is not stored properly or even from the consumers kitchen if they do not prepare it on a clean surface or cook it to a proper

Mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is a transmissible, slowly progressive, degenerative, and fatal disease which affects the central nervous system of adult cattle. Many researchers believe that an abnormal version of a protein normally found on cell surfaces, called a prion is the main reason to cause mad cow disease. For some still unknown reasons, this protein becomes modified and ruins the nervous system tissue, the brain and the spinal cord.

According to Tortora, “they do not feed for about 24 hours, and it usually requires 2 or 3 days of attachment before transfer of bacteria and affection occur (658).” The pathogen of this disease is Borrelia Burgdorferi. Once the bacteria enter the bloodstream it causes a Bull’s eye rash, flu-like symptoms, and neurologic symptoms such as facial paralysis and memory loss may happen. These symptoms happen over a course of months. The reservoir is a field mice. The ELISA test should be performed to diagnosis the disease the treatment is antibiotics. Nursing interventions should be to make sure that proper test are ordered and antibiotics are given in a timely manner.

BoBo had passed it onto a bird in the vet area before the bird went back to his cage. In one of the shows the zoo has, the bird lands on someone’s shoulder in the audience. The bird landed on a woman in the audience named Kelly. Craig later found out about the bird and raced to Kelly, but it was too late. “Excuse me miss, but that bird that landed on your shoulder, he has a contagious disease

cows that were infected with BSE showed the symptoms early in the 1980's , they

Right when the US department of agriculture (USDA) found out, they launched an emergency investigation that involved the United States and Canada. Canada and the States had a goal which was to find out where this disease started and to stop it before it was too late. Some people say that all slaughtered cows should be tested, but the problem is that many of these cows are very young and the disease will not show up in the cows until they have reached 30 months of age. DeHaven also said that “This is a disease with a very long incubation period-typically three to eight years.”

Canadienne Cattle are dairy cattle that originated in Canada and is starting to become more popular in the United States. Canadienne cattle were the main cattle breed up until 1850. The breed developed it’s own official herd book in 1886 when they were almost extinct. The population of the Canadienne was nearly 300,000 head before the book was developed. Today, the breed is not as common, but it still thrives (The Canadienne Cow, 2009).

​The origin of the disease has been described at the end of the movie where we find out that a bat with a virus known as paramyxovirus that infects a pig. The pigs that are for human consumption were located near a forest that was being cut down. The pig in turn infects human beings of the earth through a chef. The agent which is very infectious is known as MEV-1 and its potential spread is estimated at 6-7 which suggests that the virus is highly transmissible from one person to the next. The virus has been compared to that of a smallpox virus with a mortality rate of up to 30%.

"Glanders is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Burkholderia mallei." (Glanders) This disease mainly affects horses, but also affects donkeys and mules and can be contracted by other mammals such as goats, dogs, and cats. "Burkholderia mallei are transmitted to humans through contact with tissues or body fluids of infected animals." (Glanders) "The bacteria enter the body through cuts or abrasions in the skin and through mucosal surfaces such as the eyes and nose." (Glanders) "The bacteria can also be inhaled via infected aerosols or dust contaminated by infected animals." (Glanders) There have been no reported cases of glanders in the US since the 1940s. Reports of glanders have been in Africa, Asia, The Middle East,

A number of studies have supported the theory that the virus had originally occurred in animals previous to human infections.5 The MERs-CoV virus is a type of coronavirus that has been known for infecting both birds and many species of mammals. These types of infections are commonly referred to as zoonotic diseases because the pathogens are able to be transferred from animals to humans. Zoonosis can happen with or without a vector in order to spread the infection. Although the exact origin of the MERs-CoV infections is unknown, there has been convincing research performed that has found related types of coronaviruses in bats and camels. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the coronavirus is found in multiple species and can cause respiratory illness and gastrointestinal upset.
