Bridge scour is the removal of sediment such as sand and gravel from around bridge abutments or piers. Hydrodynamic scour, caused by fast flowing water, can carve out scour holes, compromising the integrity of a structure. [1] In the United States, bridge scour is one of the three main causes of bridge failure (the
Sheep and goats are both small ruminants with cosmopolitan distributions due to their being kept historically and in modern times as grazers both individually and in herds in return for their production of milk, wool, and meat. [1] As such, the diseases of these animals are of great economic importance to humans.
In sheep and goats, the lesions mostly appear on or near the hairline and elsewhere on the lips and muzzle.

This species is the most prevalent for causing anaplasmosis in sheep and goats, although Anaplasma phagocytophilium can also cause the disease. Anaplasma phagocytophilium has a prevalence of 11.9% in sheep, and 15.2% in goats. [14]

The cause of this is unknown, and it is also difficult to distinguish between the different species of fasciola as well as distinguishing them from echinostomes and Fasciolopsis. [4] Most immunodiagnostic tests detect infection with very high sensitivity, and as concentration drops after treatment, it is a very good diagnostic method. [ 4 ]
