Case study: Pathological and phylogenetic analysis of coccidiosis in two goats with heavy infection of unrecorded Eimeria sp.

Two 3-month-old goats (Capra aegagrus hircus and C. hircus coreanae) died after ataxia. In both goats, white nodules 3 mm in diameter were scattered from the duodenum to the ileum and well-raised white nodules 2-3 mm-diameter in the mucosa of the small intestine.

A case of carboxyatractyloside intoxication by ingestion of the cocklebur () in a Korean native cow.

A 19-month-old Korean native cow died the following day after consuming new silage. Grossly, the liver showed enlargement, redness, and haemorrhages in all the lobes. Additionally, many of the bur-shaped fruits of the cocklebur () were found in the gastric contents.

Clinical cases of zoonotic (subtype IIdA15G1) infections in Korean goats.

is an enteric protozoan, which causes severe diarrhoea in a wide range of vertebrate hosts including ruminants and humans. infections are responsible for immense economic losses to the livestock industry; furthermore, the zoonotic spread of the infection may lead to mortality in immunosuppressed humans. In the present study, we report two cases of severe cryptosporidiosis in goat kids in the Republic of Korea.

Astrovirus Infection in Cattle with Nonsuppurative Meningoencephalitis in South Korea.

Neurological diseases in cattle can be caused by several infectious agents. Astroviruses are increasingly recognized as the causative agent of encephalitis in various animals, including humans. In this study, a neuroinvasive astrovirus (BoAstV 20B05) was discovered in the brain tissues of an 81-month-old Korean native cattle with neurological symptoms.

sp. nov., isolated from soil.

A Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive, aerobic, orange-pigmented, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium designated strain MMS17-SY002 was isolated from island soil. The isolate grew at 20-37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0-9.

sp. nov., isolated from pine grove soil, exhibiting antimicrobial potential.

A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of an acidophilic isolate designated MMS16-CNU292 (=JCM 32302) from pine grove soil, and provisionally assigned to the genus . On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the strain formed a novel evolutionary lineage within and showed highest similarities to KCTC 9699 (98.75 %), IFO 15206 (98.

sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from soil.

Three aerobic, rod-shaped actinobacterial strains, designated MMS17-SY117, MMS17-SY207-3 and MMS17-SY213, were isolated from soil and their taxonomic positions were analysed using a polyphasic approach. The isolates showed best growth at 30 °C, pH 7 and 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the isolates were affiliated to the genus , and the closest species to MMS17-SY117, MMS17-SY207-3 and MMS17-SY213 were JC2056 (97.

sp. nov., isolated from an island soil.

A mycolic acid-containing actinobacterium designated strain MMS17-SY073 was isolated from island soil. The isolate showed best growth at 25 °C, pH 6, and 0 % (w/v) NaCl. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MMS17-SY073 belongs to the genus , and is mostly related to the type strains of (98.

Streptomyces fodineus sp. nov., an actinobacterium with antifungal activity isolated from mine area soil.

A novel actinobacterial strain producing an antifungal substance was isolated from a sample of acidic mine area soil, and its taxonomic position was evaluated. The novel strain, designated TW1S1, formed white-grey aerial mycelium and yellow substrate mycelium on oatmeal agar. Growth occurred at 10-45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 4-9 (pH 6-7) and in the presence of up to 8 % (w/v) NaCl.

Streptacidiphilus pinicola sp. nov., isolated from pine grove soil.

A moderately acidophilic actinobacterial strain, designated MMS16-CNU450, was isolated from pine grove soil, and its taxonomic position was analysed using a polyphasic approach. The isolate showed best growth at 30 °C, pH 6 and 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl.
