The role of wild ruminants in the epidemiology of bovine petechial fever.

After experimental inoculation of Cytoecetes ondiri, the agent of bovine petechial fever (BPF), multiplication occurred in impala, bushbuck, Thomson's gazelles and wildebeest, as shown by infectivity studies and clinical findings. Similar attempts to infect one eland failed. As a sequel to this, blood and spleen samples were collected from four species of wild ruminants in an area where BPTF was endemic. Isolations of C. ondiri were made from three of five bushbuck, but not from any other species.

Lactobacillus sp. isolates from mouse livers: saprophyte or potential pathogen?

Serology has failed to detect presence of mouse hepatitis virus antibodies in any of these mice. Histopathological examination revealed only mild fatty change and small monocytic infiltrates.

Haematological investigations in east African birds of prey.

Packed cell volume, haemoglobin and erythrocyte counts are given for 52 East African birds of prey of 21 species. Whilst the majority of the birds sampled were "normal", some were injured or diseased. The results are discussed and attention is drawn to the possible value of haematology in clinical diagnosis.
