In sheep and goats, the wool or hair is often damaged and easily shed, and diarrhea is uncommon. In deer, paratuberculosis can progress rapidly. Intestinal disease has also been reported in rabbits and nonhuman primates. [citation needed] Unlike cattle and sheep, infections in deer often present with clinical illness in animals under one year ...
MAP has been found in larger numbers within the intestines of Crohn's disease patients [10] and in significant amount of irritable bowel syndrome patients [11] compared to those with ulcerative colitis or otherwise healthy controls. One study concluded that MAP "may act as a causative agent, have a role in the context of secondary infection ...
Parasitic bronchitis, also known as hoose, husk, or verminous bronchitis, [1] is a disease of sheep, cattle, goats, [2] and swine caused by the presence of various species of parasite, commonly known as lungworms, [3] in the bronchial tubes or in the lungs. It is marked by cough, dyspnea, anorexia and constipation.
The disease has also been found in African buffalo in South Africa. [citation needed] M. bovis can be transmitted from human to human; an outbreak occurred in Birmingham, England, in 2004, [44] and from human to cattle, [45] [46] but such occurrences are rare. In Mexico, the disease is prevalent and rising among humans. [47]
Trichomoniasis, found in cattle and cats, is caused by both T. fetus and T. blagburni. In cats, it infects the digestive tract, causing chronic disease and large bowel diarrhea. Infected cattle show signs of pyometra and mid- to late-term abortions. [4]
Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), bovine viral diarrhoea (UK English) or mucosal disease, previously referred to as bovine virus diarrhea (BVD), is an economically significant disease of cattle that is found in the majority of countries throughout the world. [1]
S. bovis is commonly found in the alimentary tract of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, [9] and may cause ruminal acidosis. [10] [11] It is also associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, a frequent complication occurring in patients affected by cirrhosis. [12] Equivalence with Streptococcus equinus has been contested. [4]
Cattle should be treated symptomatically when possible. Antibiotic treatment may also be indicated to prevent secondary infection. The disease can be controlled by ensuring that calves receive adequate colostrum at birth. Management factors such as separating different age groups, and providing good ventilation and clean bedding also reduce ...
