TL;DR: In this paper, a broad profile of antimicrobial residues in animal wastes and surface water and groundwater proximal to large-scale swine and poultry operations was obtained using both radioimmunoassay and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) techniques.

TL;DR: This compendium provides standardized procedures for controlling avian chlamydiosis in birds and public health officials, physicians, veterinarians, the pet bird industry, and others concerned with controlling these diseases and protecting public health.

TL;DR: A unique strain of this virus was traced back to hamsters from an Ohio rodent distribution facility and was found to be linked to E.coli infection in hamsters.

TL;DR: Higher bait densities may be more appropriate and less costly to address focused outbreaks than labor intensive trap-vaccinate-release and local population reduction campaigns, and indicate that a relatively extreme bait density when evenly distributed may be necessary to obtain a significant increase in seroprevalence.

TL;DR: Analysis of the cost of 8 distributions of oral rabies vaccine (ORV) with strains known to infect raccoons in Ohio between 1997 and 2000 shows use of ORV is a promising new tool that can be used to control rabies in raccoon.
