Diagnostic sensitivity of nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs for the molecular detection of ehv-1
TL;DR: EQUINE herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) is a major equine pathogen, responsible for well documented syndromes of respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal foal death and myeloencephalopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrauterine infection with Ehrlichia phagocytophila in a cow
TL;DR: An infection with Ehrlichia phagocytophila, the agent of tickborne fever, can cause abortion or stillbirth in cows in late pregnancy but, to the authors' knowledge, there have been no reports of intrauterine infection in cows followed by clinical signs in the calf.

Nicola Pusterla,Samantha Mapes,John E Madigan,Nigel J Maclachlan,Gregory L. Ferraro,Johanna L. Watson,Sharon J. Spier,William D Wilson +7 more
TL;DR: Equine herpesvirus type 1 produces well-documented syndromes and outbreaks of respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal losses and myeloencephalopathy and it is believed that EHV-1 circulates in a large number of horses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the humoral immune response and fecal shedding in weanling foals following oral and intra-rectal administration of an avirulent live vaccine of Lawsonia intracellularis.
Nicola Pusterla,Hugo G. Hilton,Suphot Wattanaphansak,J. Collier,Samantha Mapes,Robert M. Stenbom,Connie J. Gebhart +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the humoral immune response and onset and duration of fecal shedding in foals after oral and intra-rectal administration of a modified-live vaccine of L. intracellularis found an earlier and stronger detectable humoral response compared to non pre-medicated foals.
Journal ArticleDOI
