Atypical scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that is rarely diagnosed in living animals. In March 2022, a 7-y-old Herdwick ewe was referred to the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety because of circling behavior and ill thrift. The ewe had a low body condition score, was obtunded, with a wide-based stance of the pelvic limbs, and was circling to the left.

Background: Ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is the causative agent of sheep associated malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). As sheep are the adapted host for OvHV-2, it is generally presumed that infection is not associated with disease in this species. However, a recent case review combined in-situ hybridisation, PCR and histopathology and correlated the viral distribution with systemic necrotizing vasculitis and concluded OvHV-2 was the likely agent responsible for sporadic, MCF-like vascular disease in sheep.

Article Synopsis
- Tail biting (TB) is a significant welfare and economic issue in pig farming, with its incidence in a non-tail-docking herd rising from 3% to 10% over 11 years, correlating with weight gain and daylight length.
- Implementing different feeding strategies and lighting conditions led to a notable reduction in tail injuries, with the best results seen in pigs with access to manipulable materials and non-flickering LED lights.
- The successful reduction in TB incidence emphasized the importance of enriched feeding and environmental factors, with low injury rates maintained even after the trial period.

Article Synopsis
- A study in Nepal, known as the COBIN trial, evaluated the long-term impact of a 12-month lifestyle intervention led by community health workers on reducing blood pressure among adults aged 25-65 years.
- After four years, the follow-up revealed that systolic blood pressure rose in both groups, with the intervention group experiencing an increase of 10.4 mm Hg and the usual care group an increase of 6.0 mm Hg.
- The trial initially included 1638 participants, with 1352 (92.1%) followed up at 60 months, demonstrating the challenges of maintaining health benefits from limited-duration interventions in community settings.
