Demyelinating leukoencephalomyelitis of sheep and goats caused by the Visna-maedi virus. It is similiar to but not the same as scrapie.
Industry:Agriculture
A self-limiting bacterial infection of the regional lymph nodes caused by Afipia felis and Bartonella henselae. It usually arises one or more weeks following a feline scratch, with raised inflammatory nodules at the site of the scratch being the primary symptom.
Industry:Agriculture
A myodegeneration most frequent in calves and lambs whose dams have been fed during gestation or longer on feeds, especially legumes (Fabaceae), grown in certain areas where selenium is either deficient or unavailable in the soil. It has been recorded in many countries. It has been produced experimentally in several species of animals on low-selenium intake. A similar myopathy occurs naturally in goats, deer, foals, and dogs but proof of the etiology is lacking.
Industry:Agriculture
A disease affecting susceptible plants such as apples, pears, plums, cherries and roses when they are placed into soil previously occupied by a related species. The exact causes are not known, but in the first year the new plants will grow poorly. One theory is that replant disease is due to a whole menagerie of tree pathogens - fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses and other organisms.
