A national survey of the gastrointestinal nematode control practices used by goat producers in the United States.

Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites are a major constraint to goat production. GIN parasite control has relied primarily on the use of anthelmintic drugs. A major issue in goat operations globally, including in the United States (U.

in domestic doe goats in the United States, 2019-2020.

is a bacterial pathogen capable of causing serious disease in humans and abortions in goats. Infected goats can shed . through urine, feces, and parturient byproducts, which can lead to infections in humans when the bacteria are inhaled.

Antimicrobial Resistance Characteristics of Fecal and Species in U.S. Goats: 2019 National Animal Health Monitoring System Enteric Study.

and species are normal bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract and serve as indicator organisms for the epidemiology and emergence of antimicrobial resistance in their hosts and the environment. Some serovars, including O157:H7, are important human pathogens, although reservoir species such as goats remain asymptomatic. We describe the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of generic , O157:H7, and species collected from a national surveillance study of goat feces as part of the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) Goat 2019 study.

Coxiella burnetii seroprevalence in domestic goat does in the United States: Prevalence, distribution, and associated risk factors.

Infection with the bacterium Coxiella burnetii can cause coxiellosis in animals and Q fever in humans. Coxiellosis a consistently underreported infectious disease. The infection can result in reproductive consequences for humans and animals.
