Disease characteristics The disease is characterised by inflammation of the mucous membranes, congestion, swelling and haemorrhages. Sheep are generally the worst affected, while cattle and goats do not usually show any clinical signs of disease and can carry the virus for a certain period of time and transmit it to other ruminants. Transmission Transmission takes place via bite of certain species of Culicoides midges, which are biological vectors. It is not transmitted by direct or indirect contact between animals in the absence of the insects.

FSIS will conduct activities aimed at improving inspection-system compatibility with the Pathogen Reduction/HACCP regulations. FSIS will develop inspection models in which slaughter process control is an industry responsibility under FSIS oversight and verification. One step in the development of these inspection models is that of distinguishing, at post-mortem, animal diseases and conditions that are food-safety hazards from diseases and conditions that are objectionable for other reasons. This document reflects the current FSIS view of that distinction. In the course of the inspection models project, the volunteer establishments will decide how best to verify the removal from the food supply of carcasses or parts affected by these diseases and conditions and FSIS will decide how best to verify their removal. These decisions will depend partially on a consideration of this document.

SFKC Home Program Summary Climate change. Deforestation. Intensive farming. Wildlife trade. Sounds like a short list of environmental hot buttons. Now add SARS, monkeypox, West Nile virus, and Ebola virus. What do these two lists have in common? Scientists blame the migration of diseases such as those mentioned from animals to humans partly on environmental changes and economic policies that make their spread all the easier. As Ira’s guest Dr. Peter Daszak says, “One of the key characters that defines emerging diseases is that things we do to the environment drive their emergence. So as we move around the planet and take these strange new wild animals into different areas and keep them as pets, as we move domestic animals from one place to another, we also move their pathogens, and we spread diseases and cause emerging diseases.” Monkeypox can be traced to the pet trade. The prairie dogs that transmitted the disease to people in the U.S. picked up the bug from an African rat the dogs came into contact with in a pet shop. SARS seems to have jumped from civet cats to the people who handled their meat. The emergence of Lyme disease may be related to a loss of biodiversity. Thanks to deforestation, rabies is on the rise in the Amazon. Extreme weather related to the 1997–98 El Nino may have played a role in an outbreak of Nipah virus in Malaysia. And the intensive confinement of animals in modern farming operations not only incubates diseases such as mad cow, but also stokes the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria because of the large quantities of antibiotics the animals must be given to stave off disease in their unnaturally cramped housing.

Skip navigation Animal health and welfare Home Contact Defra About Defra News ... Veterinary surveillance Q What is veterinary surveillance? A Veterinary surveillance collects data on diseases of animals, both within the country or abroad; infections, such as those that may affect humans but may not be apparent in the animals themselves; intoxications caused by chemicals in the environment or resulting from spoilage of foodstuffs; other environmental factors; changing systems of animal management etc. Stakeholders include Government, animal owners, consumers, the veterinary profession, those involved in the control of animal diseases, the medical profession and many others. Q What is it for? A The aim is to identify significant hazards as soon as possible, to gather enough information to make accurate judgements on their importance, to advise those responsible for control measures, and to monitor the effect of any that are put into place. Prompt detection of problems such as animal diseases, welfare problems or adverse environmental effects enables early and sound decisions to be made to control or manage the problems, and helps make sure that appropriate research is carried out. Furthermore, surveillance enables us to certify that certain diseases are not present, and so supports our ability to export certain animals or animal products.

The Secretary of State accepted these recommendations and the Strategy was developed for Great Britain by Defra, the Scottish Executive and the Welsh Assembly Government, in consultation with animal owners, industry, vets and others. Firstly, informal discussions were held leading to a formal consultation document in January 2003. Sector-based meetings and a series of regional workshops were then held, leading to the issue for consultation of an Outline of an Animal Health and Welfare Strategy in July 2003. Following this consultation the Strategy was launched by Defra on 24 June 2004 in London by Ben Bradshaw, Minister for Animal Health and Welfare, and Debby Reynolds, the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO).

Animal Diseases in Samoa Conditions Affecting Dogs and Cats in Samoa Significant testing for disease identification in dogs and cats in Samoa has, to date, not been carried out. In 1997, a very small number of dogs were blood tested for common diseases present world-wide. Below is a summary of infectious diseases and conditions seen or possibly present in Samoa. Other diseases may also exist, as yet, unidentified. Infectious Diseases Viruses Rabies - This is not present in Samoa so let's help to keep it that way by observing quarantine regulations when bringing animals into the country, particularly from areas where rabies is present. Rabies can affect dogs and cats. Parvovirus Distemper In Samoa, many young pups 6 to 12 weeks of age are seen with neurological signs. Distemper is highly contagious and whole litters can be affected in varying severity. The Distemper virus can remain dormant in nervous tissue cells for many years and may manifest as fitting or muscle tremors in elderly dogs. Feline Panleukopaenia (feline enteritis) Virus Feline Respiratory Disease Transmissible Venereal Tumours Parasites Toxocara canis (roundworm) Roundworms can infect humans especially young children who play with young puppies and kittens. Humans injest the roundworm eggs and may develop clinical signs which include a skin rash, fever, poor weight gain,a cough, lung disease or eye disease.

You are here: Animal Diseases COMMON HEALTH PROBLEMS The export of live Australian animals to Saudi is currently suspended however the Federal Minister for Trade; Mr Mark Vaile has been in Saudi Arabia as recently as November 2003 along with his delegation in an effort to reactivate the trade between the two nations. Although the handbook is for the Saudi trade, the information contained will apply equally to all other countries that we export our live 'feeder' cattle, sheep, goats, camels, deer and horses to. The industry is fully aware and acknowledges in the handbook that there will be animal suffering and mortalities. The industry knows that the animals will suffer and more than likely die, they acknowledge this fact, yet continue to export live because it is a money making venture. Animal welfare plays no active part in this trade, it is an after thought because animal welfare groups have been outraged at the realities of the suffering and deaths of thousands and thousands of animals and so have FORCED the industry to 'tidy up their act'! The industry would have you believe that there is no suffering, no deaths and that the animals live 'first class' all the way! Truth is the animals suffer from the day they are transported from the farm gate and their suffering does not stop, until they are dead either from disease etc on board, from being very cruelly treated at destination.or from bleeding to death after having their throat slit. The industry goes to great lengths to avoid any focus on the suffering of the animals, and tries to reduce the animals that have died to mere mortality rates. With this, they effectively take away any humanity and the animals become a number. It should be remembered that there are allegations of falsifying paperwork to deliberately reduce mortality number and so we have serious doubts as to the accuracy of the 'official' mortality rates. We understand that the true mortality rates are much higher than the industry want the public to believe.

36. AHRC | Mission - Improved Health Through Technology Under safe and secure conditions, scientists will study infectious diseases and Domestic and foreign animal diseases are a greater threat than ever. http://www.vet.uga.edu/ahrc/mission.htm

AHRC Home Helpful Definitions Related Links Steering Committee Members Mission: Improved Health Through Technology Research into animal and human diseases has become increasingly vital to both animal and human health. With the addition of the Animal Health Research Center (AHRC, pronounced "ark") to the University of Georgia, investigators will have a new opportunity to contribute to this important area of research. Under safe and secure conditions, scientists will study infectious diseases and toxicity problems that plague animal and human populations. The following are some of the research areas investigators will be studying. Animal Diseases Domestic and foreign animal diseases are a greater threat than ever. Because of the constantly expanding human population, increased production of animal protein is needed to feed that population. The resulting increase in the concentration of animal populations places animals at risk for infectious diseases. Many of the organisms that cause infectious animal diseases can also infect humans. For the benefit of both animals and people, control of these diseases requires a thorough understanding of the disease agent as well as the ability to contain these agents. Environmental Toxicants Animal and human health throughout the world are increasingly threatened by environmental toxicants. Even in our own backyards, the impact of environmental toxicants on the health of our pets and livestock is of great concern. Wildlife, too, is at risk for developing diseases that are caused by toxicants or infectious agents, and this risk is escalating as native habitats are disrupted.

37. Canine Eyelid Diseases - Animal Eye Care Canine Eyelid diseases. The two most common problems associated with dog At animal Eye Care, both conditions are treated surgically under general http://www.animaleyecare.net/diseases/canine.htm

Canine Eyelid Diseases The two most common problems associated with dog eyelids are abnormal conformation and eyelid tumors. Abnormal conformation simply means anything other than a nice, tight-fitting almond-shaped eyelid to the eyeball. Many breeds of dogs are bred to have unusual lid conformation, such as bloodhounds, St. Bernards, and flat-faced breeds such as Pugs (see Macropalpebral Fissure Syndrome ). Sometimes the unusual lid conformation leads to medical problems that damage the eye. Some of these conditions are: This dog has entropion and secondary corneal ulcers. His eyes are quite painful. 1. ENTROPION , which is a rolling-in of the eyelid. This causes the hair on the surface of the eyelid to rub on the eyeball, which is both painful and often causes corneal ulcers or erosions. The corneal damage can also result in corneal scarring, which can interfere with vision. Usually the dog will squint and tear excessively. However, many flat-faced dogs with medial entropion (involving the inside corner of the eyes) show no obvious signs of discomfort. Entropion is treated by surgical correction ( "blepharoplasty" ), which is essentially plastic surgery. Excessive folds and sections of facial skin are removed, and the eyelids tightened. It is uncommon for entropion to recur after surgery unless the entropion is quite involved, particularly in the Shar Pei breed. Very young puppies with entropion will often have "lid tacking" performed (rather than plastic surgery), in which temporary lid sutures are placed to roll out the lids. Often, these puppies do not require permanent plastic surgery once they have matured and "grown into" their facial skin. Permanent plastic surgery is usually not performed in puppies less than 5 or 6 months of age, giving the dog some time to develop its mature head conformation.

Educational Resources Life Sciences Research Just the Facts Reference Library ... Why do we need product and environmental safety research? Why Are Animals Needed in Research? Historical Perspectives A wonderful book entitled Cattle, Priests and Progress by Calvin W. Schwabe, D.V.M., M.P.H., Sc.D. is a fascinating and wonderful description of the evolution of medicine and especially veterinary medicine. The following shares a few of the ideas provided by Dr. Schwabe. The idea of stewardship of animals developed in ancient times, as early humans domesticated animals. Additionally in early cultures, priests or shaman began to observe the relationship between human health and animal diseases (for example Judaic Law prohibiting the eating of pork). In Roman times Galen, the father of anatomy, dissected animals learning about their internal structures and then using them to teach others. However, it was not until the time of the American Revolution that we begin to see experimentation on animals rather than experimentation on humans. In Western Europe in the late 1700's an event of major economic consequence was in part responsible for the emergence of the research process as we know it today. Rinderpest (a fatal plague of cattle) was introduced to Europe from southern Russia by returning soldiers. In a decade the disease swept westward and reduced the cattle herds of Europe "in orders of several millions." The first quarter of the 18th century had already witnessed a dynamic expansion of efforts to promote (human) medical sciences. There was wide spread public outcry about Rinderpest and other little understood and devastating epidemic diseases like anthrax, foot and mouth disease, and pleuropneumonia. These were threats to the economic existence of not only household but of countries. Remember that during this time the economic base of most European countries was grounded in agriculture.
