Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in White-Tailed deer
...diseases such as foot and mouth disease (FMD), vesicular stomatitis (VS), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). Serum is used for the detection of EHDV antibodies by the AGID test, virus neutralization or ELISA. EHDV can be isolated in cell culture from heparinized blood and from the spleen and other blood-rich tissues. Numerous real-time RT-PCR formats for the detection and serotyping of EHDV are used in diagnostic lab...

Arsenic toxicosis in two calves
...liver found an arsenic concentration of 109.74 µg/g on a dry weight basis. Bovine liver arsenic concentrations are normally below 2 µg/g dry weight, and concentrations over 8 µg/g dry weight are present in cases of acute arsenic poisoning. A Reinsch test of the rumen content indicated the source was an inorganic arsenic compound (a salt, probably an old pesticide formulation) rather than an organic source (monosodium – or disodium – methyl arsenat...

Diagnostics of a disaster: Animal disease concerns during floods
...logy sections can perform a Clostridium fluorescent antibody (FA) assay on bovine, ovine, and cervid samples. This acute, highly fatal disease of cattle and sheep is caused by the Clostridium chauvoei bacteria and is one of the more common clostridial infections. The bacterial spores may be found on farms after flooding where it was not previously known to exist. This is also true for the other clostridial diseases. Signs of infection include emph...

Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory wraps up surge testing for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)
...d. CWD by the numbers CWD, a naturally occurring prion disease, similar to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE, in cattle and scrapie in sheep and goats, has a relatively short history in Texas. Compared to other states where the disease has ravaged deer herds for decades, CWD was first detected in Texas in free-ranging mule deer in 2012, and in captive white-tailed deer in 2015. Since then, the state’s approximate 1,200 deer breeders in additio...
