C. pseudotuberculosis causes a disease known as caseous lymphadenitis that most commonly affects small ruminants, such as goats and sheep. [9] [10] The disease often presents with pyogranulomatous abscess formation. [11] Abscessation can occur in numerous areas, but it most commonly affects the cutaneous region and superficial lymph nodes.
Treatment Drainage of abscesses, chemical cauterization, removal of external lymph nodes, antibiotics Caseous lymphadenitis ( CLA ) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis , that affects the lymphatic system , resulting in abscesses in the lymph nodes and internal organs .
Chlamydia psittaci is a lethal intracellular bacterial species that may cause endemic avian chlamydiosis, epizootic outbreaks in other mammals, and respiratory psittacosis in humans. Potential hosts include feral birds and domesticated poultry, as well as cattle, pigs, sheep, and horses.
Chlamydia abortus is endemic among ruminants such as cows and sheep and has been associated with abortion in a horse, a rabbit, guinea pigs, mice, pigs and humans. Infected females shed bacteria near the time of ovulation, so C. abortus is transmitted orally and sexually among mammals.
Electron micrograph of Bluetongue virus, scale bar = 50 nm. Bluetongue (BT) disease is a noncontagious, arthropod-borne viral disease affecting ruminants, [1] primarily sheep and other domestic or wild ruminants, including cattle, yaks, [2] goats, buffalo, deer, dromedaries, and antelope. [3]
Oxfendazole is an anthelmintic (wormer) compound used in veterinary practice. It comes under the chemical class of the benzimidazoles. This drug is barely used in horses, [3] goats, sheep, and cattle. It is very scarcely applied on dogs and cats.
