Nearly 60 turtles returned
By Kelly Baker, News-Sun Staff Writer Almost 60 illegal turtles have been returned to the Upper Valley Mall and several people have called the health department reporting possible turtle-related illnesses after a stand selling red ear sliders was ordered closed Monday. Clark County Health District officials are now manning the kiosk accepting the tiny reptiles that reportedly have been sold in nearby counties in the weeks prior to Clark County. The turtles, with less than 4-inch-long shells, have been illegal to sell since 1975 because of the health risks involved. An employee of the pet stand told health officials he did not know how many turtles had been sold locally. Continue reading "Nearly 60 turtles returned"

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES
OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS For Immediate Release: July 27, 2005 URGENT: Salmonellosis Alert LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services is responding to an outbreak of salmonellosis that appears to have occurred at a Beverly Hills restaurant. Patrons who ate at Il Fornaio restaurant (Beverly Hills location only) between Tuesday, July 12 and Saturday, July 16, 2005 may have become ill from Salmonella, a bacteria that causes gastrointestinal symptoms. The restaurant has been inspected by Public Health and is cooperating by correcting problems that may have contributed to the outbreak. Raw and undercooked eggs were used in some recipes. “The purpose of this alert is to prevent spread of salmonellosis between family members or from those whose occupation may expose others to disease, such as food handlers, healthcare workers, and childcare workers, and to remind people that all egg dishes need to be fully cooked,” said Jonathan Fielding, M.D., M.P.H., Director of Public Health and Health Officer. “The risk of transmission from this source is considered slight and we have not received notice of any secondary cases resulting from this outbreak to date,” said Laurene Mascola, M.D., M.P.H., Chief of the Acute Communicable Disease Control Program. “However, those who were already ill could still be able to transmit the disease.”

However, people of all ages can catch Salmonella . Illness is usually worse in very young and very old people. Salmonella bacteria are found in some raw foods and in feces (stool) The bacteria can be found in foods such as raw chicken, turkey, beef, pork, other meat, eggs, and unpasteurized milk products. Infected people and animals, especially reptiles (like iguanas and turtles), ducks, and chickens can also have Salmonella in their feces. Infected people may spread the bacteria to others through their feces for several weeks or more, even after they feel better.

Salmonellosis
Salmonellosis is a bacterial disease caused by strains of Salmonella . It occurs in animals and man. In both cases it is an enteric disease of varying severity, usually involving diarrhoea. With poultry, however, most Salmonella infections are symptomless.
Salmonella infection is a Public Health Concern
Many strains of Salmonella are zoonotic agents, spreading to man from contaminated food products. In humans Salmonellosis is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. The commonest serotypes causing disease in humans are Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium. Since 1987 S . Enteritidis has been the main cause of Salmonella poisoning in humans from poultry products.

    What is Salmonellosis?
    Salmonella are bacteria which cause an infection called salmonellosis in the stomach and intestines. About 2,000 types of Salmonella have been identified. However, only a small number of those types account for cases in Utah. Typhoid fever is the most serious type of Salmonella infection. Who gets Salmonellosis? Anyone can get salmonellosis, but it occurs more often in infants and young children. How are Salmonella bacteria spread? Salmonella bacteria are spread by eating or drinking infected food or water. It can also be spread by direct contact with an infected person or animal. Person-to-person spread often occurs in day-care centers and nursing homes where personal hygiene may be poor due to age or disabilities. What are the symptoms of Salmonellosis?

    What is Salmonellosis? Salmonellosis is an infection caused by Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella typhimurium and S. enteritidis are the two most commonly found in the United States. Salmonellosis is also called salmonella. Where does Salmonellosis Occur? Salmonellosis can occur anywhere and is found worldwide. It usually occurs in small, contained outbreaks in the general population or in large outbreaks in hospitals, restaurants, or institutions for children or the elderly. Symptoms of Salmonellosis? Symptoms of salmonellosis usually begin from 12 hours to 3 days after you are infected. They are most severe in the elderly, infants, and people with chronic conditions. People with AIDS are particularly vulnerable to salmonellosis-often suffering from recurring episodes. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are:
    • Diarrhea
    • Fever
    • Abdominal cramps
    • Headache Loss of appetite Vomiting
    Salmonellosis can become a chronic infection in some people who may not have symptoms. Though they may have no symptoms, they can spread the disease by not washing their hands before preparing food for others.

It is primarily an intestinal infection, but in a small number of cases, it can infect the bloodstream and cause focal infections, such as abscesses and meningitis, in nearly any part of the body. Salmonella bacteria are subdivided into serotypes based upon their biochemical properties. In the United States, Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis are the most common. Although salmonellosis can occur throughout the year, most cases occur during the summer months. Salmonella typhi is the serotype which causes Typhoid fever. This illness is different from that caused by the other serotypes of Salmonella, and is described separately (see Typhoid Fever). Who gets Salmonellosis? Anyone can get salmonellosis. Severe cases of illness requiring hospitalization are more often seen in infants, the elderly, and individuals with impaired immune systems. How is Salmonellosis spread?

    Salmonella and salmonellosis
    Salmonella enterica Salmonella is a Gram-negative facultative rod-shaped bacterium in the same proteobacterial family as Escherichia coli, the family Enterobacteriaceae, trivially known as "enteric" bacteria. Salmonella is nearly as well-studied as E. coli from a structural, biochemical and molecular point of view, and as poorly understood as E. coli from an ecological point of view. Salmonellae live in the intestinal tracts of warm and cold blooded animals. Some species are ubiquitous. Other species are specifically adapted to a particular host. In humans, Salmonella are the cause of two diseases called salmonellosis enteric fever typhoid ), resulting from bacterial invasion of the bloodstream, and acute gastroenteritis , resulting from a foodborne infection/intoxication. Discovery of the Typhoid Bacillus At the beginning of the 19th century, typhoid was defined on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms and pathological (anatomical) changes. However, at this time, all sorts of enteric fevers were characterized as "typhoid". In 1880s, the typhoid bacillus was first observed by Eberth in spleen sections and mesenteric lymph nodes from a patient who died from typhoid. Robert Koch confirmed a related finding by Gaffky and succeeded in cultivating the bacterium in 1881. But due to the lack of differential characters, separation of the typhoid bacillus from other enteric bacteria was uncertain.

    Salmonellosis (paratyphoid)
    Simon Bewg, DPI. Salmonellosis can be caused by any one of the salmonella group of bacteria. There are a large number of salmonella species spread widely throughout the environment. Two individual salmonella species S. pullorum and S. gallinarum cause pullorum disease ( S. pullorum ) and fowl typhoid ( S. gallinarum ) in poultry. In the past these two diseases have caused significant problems, and both diseases are now very well controlled in the poultry industry. However, these diseases may still exist in backyard poultry. It would appear that there is little risk of emus being exposed to these two types of salmonella. Of more significance to the emu industry are the large number of remaining salmonella species that are capable of infecting a wide range of hosts including man. Infection and disease caused by these salmonella is given the general term paratyphoid.
    Distribution and transmission
    Paratyphoid occurs worldwide.

An investigation by the New Mexico Environment Department determined that these cases were associated with beef jerky processed at a local plant. An investigation by NMDOH identified 91 additional cases. This report summarizes the investigation of this outbreak. On January 26, 1995, two men presented to the emergency department of a local hospital after onset of diarrhea and abdominal cramps. On January 24, the men had purchased and consumed carne seca, a locally produced beef jerky. Cultures of leftover beef jerky and stool obtained from one patient grew Salmonella .

    1. Name of the Organism:
    Salmonella spp. Salmonella is a rod-shaped, motile bacterium nonmotile exceptions S. gallinarum and S. pullorum , nonsporeforming and Gram-negative . There is a widespread occurrence in animals, especially in poultry and swine. Environmental sources of the organism include water, soil, insects, factory surfaces, kitchen surfaces, animal feces, raw meats, raw poultry, and raw seafoods, to name only a few. 2. Nature of Acute Disease: S. typhi and the paratyphoid bacteria are normally caused septicemic and produce typhoid or typhoid-like fever in humans. Other forms of salmonellosis generally produce milder symptoms. 3. Nature of Disease: Acute symptoms Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, minal diarrhea, fever, and headache. Chronic consequences arthritic symptoms may follow 3-4 weeks after onset of acute symptoms. Onset time 6-48 hours. Infective dose As few as 15-20 cells; depends upon age and health of host, and strain differences among the members of the genus. Duration of symptoms Acute symptoms may last for 1 to 2 days or may be prolonged, again depending on host factors, ingested dose, and strain characteristics.

    Back SALMONELLOSIS Note for Pet Owners: This information is provided by Provet for educational purposes only. You should seek the advice of your veterinarian if your pet is ill as only he or she can correctly advise on the diagnosis and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for your pet. Salmonella can be transmitted to humans, and so this disease is a zoonosis. Proper hygienic precautions should be taken after contact with animals which could be carrying the disease, especially children and people with impaired immune function. For practical purposes this means all pets and domestic livestock as well as wild animals. Topics on this Page: Description
    Salmonella poisoning (or salmonellosis) is one of the commonest forms of zoonosis with infection being transmitted directly or indirectly from animals to humans, or from infected food products (meat, eggs, dairy products) to humans. Salmonellosis occurs in most countries and affects all animal species. Cause
    Th e cause of Salmonellosis are gram-negative, motile bacteria called Salmonella which are part of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and are usually found in the intestinal tract. These bacteria infect many species of animal including amphibians, birds, mammals (including humans), insects and reptiles. In addition, the organism can survive in the environment so in-contact objects, bedding etc can carry them. However, the commercial heat-processing of foods kills the organism.
