glanders/fever

Six horses were challenged experimentally with a strain of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolated from a fatal case of the infection in a dromedary camel years earlier in the Emirate of Dubai. Three horses were inoculated subcutaneously and in 3 the bacterium was administered by the oral route. Four of

Glanders or farcy, caused by Burkholderia mallei, is an infectious and zoonotic disease of solipeds. Horses, donkeys and mules are the only known natural reservoir of B. mallei. Although glanders has been eradicated from most countries, it has regained the status of a re-emerging disease because of

In 1777 the "Economic Section" was founded as a branch of the "Dutch Society for Sciences" in Haarlem. It is the oldest organization in the area of economy in the Netherlands. The aim of the society was to stop the economic recession in the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and to stimulate

Infectious diseases have been used as warfares since ancient times. Since the 1920s military organizations have studied bacteria of anthrax, plague, tularemia, botulism, brucelloses, glander, Q-fever, and smallpox virus, Filo-, Arena-, Bunyaviruses causing hemorrhagic fever or Alphaviruses eliciting

An aerosol physics test facility was used in a series of eight experiments to gather an integrated comprehensive broad base of data on the fate of surrogates of microorganisms that cause smallpox, plague, glanders, anthrax, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. The results are directly relevant to the

Livestock farming was going on in the then Southern Rhodesia, before the advent of colonization in 1890. However, history of conventional veterinary medicine dates back only to the arrival of the Pioneer Column, 115 years ago. At that time, veterinary infrastructure and staffing was poor relative to

1. It must be accepted from a comparison between the histological changes described in the focal necroses due to abrin and ricin, diphtheria, eclampsia, blood-serum intoxication, typhoid fever, lobar pneumonia and glanders, and those described here in three cases of tuberculosis, that the last are

METHODS Two weeks after returning from a trip to Thailand a 79-year-old man developed a higher fever, pain in the right flank and progressive clouding of consciousness. She had meningism on admission. METHODS There was a marked leukocytosis (WBC count 17,700/microliter) and raised C-reactive protein

A protein chip has been developed that allows the simultaneous detection of a multitude of different biowarfare agents. The chip was developed for the ArrayTube platform providing a cheap and easy to handle technology solution that combines a microtube-integrated protein chip with the classical

During the anthrax outbreak and threat in Trenton (2001), our allergy practice experienced increased visits from approximately 50 of our regular patients with symptoms they believed resulted from anthrax exposure. In all cases, their symptoms were caused by a combination of an exacerbation of their

Many vaccines for bioterrorism agents are investigational and therefore not available (outside of research protocol use) to all at-risk laboratory workers who have begun working with these agents as a result of increased interest in biodefense research. Illness surveillance data archived from the

BACKGROUND Until recently, the use of biological weapons was considered more from an academic than practical point of view. The list of agents and/or toxins that can be used as biological weapons is long. Some of them are highly lethal, while others cause morbidity and

The possible cutaneous manifestations of infectious biological warfare are multiple and vary depending on the agent used. An ulcerous and/or necrotic syndrome and/or regional lymphadenitis syndrome are possible with anthrax, tularaemia, bubonic plague and emission of trichotecene mycotoxins. A
