(cELISA) only to definitively confirm results obtained in the aforementioned test. It performed a trial study to assess the status of brucellosis in the state of Lara, Venezuela. Initially, milk ring tests were performed in 320 farms, with 30% of them testing positive. Serum samples were collected from all animals of farms that tested positive to ring test. A total of 13,351 serum samples were collected <strong>and</strong> tested with RBT <strong>and</strong> cELISA assays. Positive index observed with RBT was lower when compared to cELISA (0.51 % vs 6.36 %, respectively). Furthermore, both tests confirm that positive index in the state of Lara is very low. However, relative sensitivity observed in RBT is also very low when compared to cELISA. This apparent low sensitivity could result in a high number of false negative animals that, consequently, will not be eliminated from the herds. Thus, this would constitute a constant source of infection to other animals <strong>and</strong> people.

Marketing, Boxmeer, The Netherl<strong>and</strong>s Objectives: In the field, cattle with BRD may receive different antibiotics simultaneously or successively. The objective of this study was to describe the interaction of cefquinome with other antibiotics frequently used to treat BRD. Materials <strong>and</strong> Methods: The effect of combinations of cefquinome with oxytetracyclin, marbofloxacin, florfenicol, tilmicosin <strong>and</strong> tulathromycin against the Pasteurellaceae involved in BRD: M. haemolytica, P. multocida <strong>and</strong> H. somni was tested in vitro. One strain of each bacterium isolated from clinical cases was used to assess the interaction of the combinations, determined by the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) <strong>and</strong> confirmed by time-kill kinetics. Four interactions were concerned: FICI
lesions in other organs. Young animals most frequently become infected by ingestion of infected milk. We present a case report of tuberculous meningoencephalitis in a dairy calf that was less than one year old, who presented nervous signs (recumbency, irritability <strong>and</strong> aggression, weakness, dizziness), which progressed to death in three days. At necropsy, white nodules were found in the liver, lungs <strong>and</strong> diaphragm. The clinically suspected diagnosis was rabies, but results were negative for direct immunofluorescence <strong>and</strong> intracerebral inoculation in mice. Brain samples <strong>and</strong> spinal cord were preserved in 10% formalin for histopathological analysis (HE staining). There was severe granulomatous meningomyelitis with Langhans’ giant cells. In cerebral neuropile there were some granulomas with a central area of necrosis, perivascular cuffing with mononuclear cells, gliosis <strong>and</strong> hyperemia. The lung had many caseated granulomas, a typical finding in bovine tuberculosis, with central necrosis, surrounded by epithelioid macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, Langhans’ giant cells <strong>and</strong> fibrosis at the periphery. There was mild calcification of the pulmonary granulomas. Samples of lung <strong>and</strong> brain were decontaminated by the Petroff method <strong>and</strong> inoculated into Petragnani <strong>and</strong> Stonebrink media <strong>and</strong> M. bovis was isolated. This case report shows that bovine tuberculosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of bovine neurological disorders. According to Brazilian regulation, sanitary measures in the heard infected (test-<strong>and</strong>slaughter) should be adopted.

Ali 1 , B. Ismaeel 2 1 College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Mosul, Iraq, Department of Microbiology, Mosul, Iraq 2 College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Dohuk, Department of Microbiology, Duhok, Iraq The current study tackles the isolation <strong>and</strong> identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from different human infection cases (wounds, otitis media, urine, stool, <strong>and</strong> burns) in Al-Zahrawi, Al-Salam <strong>and</strong> Ibn-Al-Atheer hospitals at Mosul city. From animals (sheep, cows, goats) samples were also collected (wounds, otitis, urine, feces <strong>and</strong> mastitis) cases for P. aeruginosa isolation <strong>and</strong> identification. The morphological, cultural <strong>and</strong> biochemical tests confirmed 43 (17.4%) isolates as P. aeruginosa from 250 human samples, <strong>and</strong> 17 (10.3%) from 165 animal samples. P. aeruginosa human <strong>and</strong> animals’ isolates virulence factors represented by enzymes (protease, lipease, lecithinase, b-lactamase gelatinase, coagulase, haemolysin, toxins) <strong>and</strong> capsule production were studied; 80% of human isolates showed capsule presence, while all animal isolates (100%) contained capsule. The pigments production especially pyocyanin, which differentiates P. aeruginosa from other microorganisms, was detected in 80% of the human isolates <strong>and</strong> in 100% of the animal isolates. The study showed similarity between P. aeruginosa of human <strong>and</strong> animal isolates in their virulence factors production ability. The study results revealed that 15 pathogenic isolates from 43 tested human isolates <strong>and</strong> 10 pathogenic isolates from 17 tested animal isolates produced positive results for an exotoxin A production in rabbit skin reaction test, through inducing hypersensitivity reactions of type I (early or immediate) <strong>and</strong> of delayed type (Type IV). Baby suckling mice test <strong>and</strong> rabbit ileal loop test confirmed that both human <strong>and</strong> animal P. aeruginosa isolates produced an enterotoxin. The histopathological study revealed different changes represented by elongation <strong>and</strong> blunted villi with necrosis. 713 Bovine Paralityc Rabies: Prevention <strong>and</strong> Control in Mexico M.

In America this involves a serious problem. One of the determining factors to prevent cases of rabies in animals <strong>and</strong> in humans is, without any doubt, the diffusion <strong>and</strong> training on measures of prevention <strong>and</strong> control of the disease. A DVD on this kind of measures was recorded in the City of Puebla, Mexico, by the Committee of Promotion <strong>and</strong> Animal Health <strong>and</strong> the Foundation “PRODUCE”, Puebla. First, the DVD has been presented all over the country, <strong>and</strong>, on a subsequent occasion, it was presented in the RITA (The international meeting on research advances in rabies control in the Americas) meetings of Brazil <strong>and</strong> Mexico, in coordination with the Panamerican Health Organization. The DVD was distributed to all American countries through these meetings.The mentioned DVD shows two aspects of this problem: in the first part a case of an outbreak of paralytic rabies is narrated in the colloquial language of the cattle farmers from the northern mountains belonging to the Puebla State; while the second part includes recommendations about the cold chain, antirabies vaccination, sending specimens to the laboratory, classification of bats <strong>and</strong> control of hematophagous bats.Furthermore, molecular studies are currently being realized in the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Madrid, Spain) to complement the field work made in Mexico. For all the reasons exposed it is of great interest to share this experience with European Buiatric groups. 714 Effect of Cow Vaccination against BRSV <strong>and</strong> PI3 on Immune Status ante Partum <strong>and</strong> the Transfer of Colostral Antibodies to Calves B.

Material <strong>and</strong> Methods: The study was performed on a dairy farm where the dams <strong>and</strong> their calves are housed at two different locations. A commercial vaccine containing inactivated antigens of BRSV, PI3 <strong>and</strong> Mannheimia haemolytica (M. haemolytica) (Bovipast ® RSP / Bovigrip RSP plus, Intervet) was used. Twenty-six dams (n=26) were vaccinated twice (6-8 <strong>and</strong> 2-4 weeks before the anticipated date of calving). A group of 19 cows was not vaccinated with the respiratory vaccine. In addition, all cows (n=45) were routinely immunized with a neonatal calf diarrhea containing inactivated bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus <strong>and</strong> E. coli at 6 weeks before calving. Colostrum was collected from each cow <strong>and</strong> fed to the respective calf at a volume of at least 4 liter within the first 12 hours of life. Blood samples of the dams were taken at the time of the first vaccination <strong>and</strong> around calving. Moreover, samples of the first milkings were collected. Blood samples of the calves were taken two days after birth. Neutralising antibody titers against BRSV <strong>and</strong> PI3 were measured in the serum <strong>and</strong> colostrum samples. Results: The interpretation of results regarding BRSV was troubled by high pre-vaccination antibody levels in a certain proportion of animals. Significantly higher antibody titres against BRSV were found in dams from the vaccinate group after adjustment of measured titres by subtracting individual pre-vaccination values. Moreover, there was a correlation between the BRSV antibody titer in the cows <strong>and</strong> the titers measured in the calves. With regard to PI3, vaccination of dams resulted in a booster of neutralizing antibodies <strong>and</strong> a transfer of the antibodies to their newborn calves via colostrum regardless the pre-vaccination titer against PI3. Moreover, the PI3 antibody titers in the cows correlated well with the titers measured in the two days old newborns. Conclusions: Cow vaccination against BRSV <strong>and</strong> PI3 could be a strategy to achieve more homogeneous antibody levels in the serum of the dams <strong>and</strong> their calves <strong>and</strong> can therefore complement the active immunisation program in the calves. 715 Detection of Prevalence of Rotaviral <strong>and</strong> Corona Viral Diarrhea in Newborn Calves B.
