Incidental finding of a human-like tusavirus in a lamb with lip lesions and fatal pneumonia.

Tusaviruses in the genus of family were first identified in a diarrhoeic Tunisian child in 2014. Thereafter, high prevalence of a genetically similar virus was demonstrated in faeces from caprine and ovine species in Hungary. Here, we describe an investigation into the cause of scabby lip lesions in a 6 month-old lamb, submitted from a farm experiencing weight loss and scouring in lambs in England.

Ecotype Analysis in Cattle from Great Britain.

() is the aetiological agent of tick-borne fever in cattle and sheep, and granulocytic anaplasmosis in human and dogs. Livestock, companion animal and human infections with have been reported globally. Across England and Wales, two isolates (called ecotypes) have been reported in ticks.

Surveillance and Risk Analysis for Bovine Babesiosis in England and Wales to Inform Disease Distribution.

is a zoonotic piroplasm that infects both cattle and humans in Europe. Disease transmission occurs through tick bites, a species that is increasing in abundance and distribution across Europe in response to climate and land-use changes. Developments in agri-environment policy and changing consumer demands may also have unintended consequences on tick-borne disease rates.

Retrospective analysis of necrotizing typhlitis cases associated with spp. in British rheas.

This paper describes a retrospective analysis of necrotizing typhlitis in common rheas () diagnosed in the United Kingdom by the Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA). From January 2008 to January 2020, seven cases of spirochaetal typhlitis associated with spp. were identified using the Veterinary Investigation Diagnosis Analysis database.

An outbreak of bovine babesiosis in February, 2019, triggered by above average winter temperatures in southern England and co-infection with Babesia divergens and Anaplasma phagocytophilum.

Background: Bovine babesiosis, commonly known as redwater fever, is a sporadic tick-borne disease in the United Kingdom. Outbreaks occur during the spring, summer and autumn months when ticks are active. This study reports the findings of an investigation of an outbreak of bovine babesiosis during the winter month of February, 2019.
