This report describes the characterization of a new genotype foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A responsible for recent FMD outbreaks in Middle East. Initially identified samples collected 2003 from Iran, during 2005 and 2006 this FMDV lineage (proposed to be named A-Iran-05) spread into Saudi Arabia Jordan then further west Turkey reaching European Thrace January 2007. Most recently A-Iran-05 has been found Bahrain. To east it recognized Afghanistan (2004-07) Pakistan (2006-07)....
An orbivirus identified as St Croix River virus (SCRV) was isolated from cells of Ixodes scapularis ticks. Electron microscopy showed particles with typical morphology. The SCRV genome sequenced completely and compared to previously characterized genomes. Significant identity scores (21–38%) were detected between proteins encoded by segments S1, S2, S4, S5, S6, S8, S9 S10 those S3, S7, S10, respectively, Bluetongue (BTV), the prototype species. protein segment 3 (VP3) is thought be...
The design of surveillance strategies is often a compromise between science, feasibility, and available resources, especially when sampling based at fixed locations, such as slaughter-houses. Advances in animal identification, movement recording traceability should provide data that can facilitate the development, interpretation activities. Here, for first time since introduction electronic identification sheep, utility statutory sheep database to inform slaughter-house activities has been...
Regular evaluation is a prerequisite for systems that provide surveillance of animal populations. Scotland's Rural College Veterinary Services' Disease Surveillance Centre (DSC) network plays an integral part in to detect new and re-emerging threats within populations, predominantly livestock. In response reviews proposed changes the network, initial diagnostic submissions data 2010 mid-2012 established baseline “footprint,” while highlighting challenges with data. this recent period...
