Expert Panel Issues White Paper Identifying Needs in PRRS Vaccine Research

On June 1 and 2, 2007, researchers at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine convened a group of 22 national experts in PRRS, virology, immunology, and vaccinology to discuss the state of current knowledge about PRRS vaccination.

Pathogen pathways – Best management practices : 3. Summary of key transmission pathways

Figure 1 serves as a conceptual ‘model’ to anchor the following discussion of transmission pathways (Section 3) and mitigation measures (Section 4) for faecal microbes of concern.

Pathogen pathways - contamination of water bodies via artificial drainage : 1. Introduction and

Two thermophilic Campylobacter subspecies, C. jejuni and C. Coli, are responsible for almost all human cases of Campylobacteriosis. Campylobacter have a low infectious dose: less than 1000 organisms ingested have been reported to cause enteritis in people (Reid, 1991).

Pathogen pathways - contamination of water bodies via artificial drainage : 5. Experiment 2:

Two plots (Plots C and D) were grazed overnight and the dairy cows were removed on the morning of 7 October 2003. In this experiment Plot C and D are the ‘Grazed plots’ and Plots A and B were left ungrazed (being last grazed 12 days prior to rainfall simulation).

Pathogen pathways – Best management practices : 5. Conclusions

This report describes the key pathways, arising from the Pathogen Transmission Routes Research Program (and related studies), by which faecal microbes are transferred from farm animals to waterways.

Pathogen pathways – Best management practices : 1. Executive Summary

This report describes the key pathways by which faecal microbes are transferred from farm animals to waterways, that were identified in the Pathogen Transmission Routes Research Program (and related studies).
