Reportable Diseases and Conditions in Tennessee Reportable Diseases and Conditions In Tennessee The reporting of evidence of certain animal diseases is a requirement under the Standards for Accreditation of Veterinarians in Tennessee and all other states. These diseases must be reported to the State Veterinarian or USDA, APHIS, VS Area Veterinarian in Charge. It is the professional responsibility of the veterinarian to report these diseases properly and promptly so that appropriate control measures may be instituted. Reportable diseases include all diseases for which control or eradication programs are in effect, and all foreign animal diseases not known to exist in this country. In addition to the evidence of diseases, there are certain conditions that should be reported as soon as possible to the State Veterinarian‘s office. The State Veterinarian’s office is located at Ellington Agricultural Center, 440 Hogan Rd. Porter Bldg., P.O. Box 40627, Nashville, Tennessee 37204. The office phone number is (615) 837‐5120.

In addition to causing loss and consumer rejection of products, these pests can elicit allergic reactions and perhaps spread disease-causing microorganisms. Booklice (Liposcelis spp.), grain mites (Acarus siro), and flour beetles Tribolium( spp.) are common stored-product pests that have pre- viously been identified in our laboratory animal facility. These pests traditionally are described as harmless to our animals, but their presence can be cause for concern in some cases. Here we discuss the biology of these species and their potential effects on human and animal health. Occupational health risks are covered, and common monitoring and control methods are summarized. Several insect and mite species are termed ‘stored-product Furthermore, the presence of these pests in storage and hous- pests,’ reflecting the fact that they routinely infest items such ing areas can lead to food wastage and negative human health as foodstuffs stored for any noteworthy period of time.

Lice infestation is common and may be associated with significant disease especially in young moribund calves. The chewing louse Bovicola bovis is a particular challenge to eradicate given its limited response to various therapies and emerging evidence of reduced susceptibility to pyrethroids. Chorioptes is the most common cause of mange in cattle and given its surface feeding habits can be difficult to eradicate with current treatments.

Hier werden neue Ansätze für Diagnose, Prävention und Therapie von Herz-Kreislauf- und Stoffwechselerkrankungen, Krebs sowie neurologischen Erkrankungen entwickelt und zeitnah am Patienten eingesetzt. Sie sind eingelanden, um uns beizutreten. Bewerben Sie sich! An otherwise healthy 10-year-old girl presented to the primary care clinic with a 10-day history of multiple itchy papules on the soles of her feet and on her toes. The lesions had black dots in the center and were painful. Two weeks earlier, the family had traveled to rural Brazil. During that time, the patient had played in a pigsty without wearing shoes. Sand fleas were removed from multiple lesions. What is the most likely diagnosis? Coxsackievirus infection Furuncular myiasis Foreign body granulomas Tungiasis Scabies infestation Correct! The correct answer is tungiasis. Tungiasis is a skin infestation caused by the sand flea Tunga penetrans, an ectoparasite that is found throughout tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Treatment included flea removal and local wound care. Die Myiasis (nach griechisch μυῖα myia = „Fliege“) oder auch Fliegenmadenkrankheit ist der Befall von Lebewesen mit den Larven (Maden) von Fliegen, welche von dem Gewebe, den Körperflüssigkeiten oder dem Darminhalt des Wirtes leben. Sie ist bei Menschen in Mittel- und Südamerika sowie in Regionen mit tropischen oder subtropischem Klima verbreitet. In der Tiermedizin kommt ein Fliegenmadenbefall auch in Europa häufiger vor. Betroffen sind vor allem stark geschwächte oder anderweitig erkrankte Tiere, die nicht mehr in der Lage sind, sich selbst zu putzen.

  • Sarcoptes Also Called: • Scabies • Sarcoptic Mange • Sarcoptic
    Sarcoptes Also called: • Scabies • Sarcoptic mange • Sarcoptic acariasis What is Sarcoptes? Sarcoptes is a microscopic mite that burrows in the outer layer of the skin of dogs. In doing so, it causes tremendous irritation: sarcoptic mange is one of the itchiest conditions in dogs. Although it can affect any area of the skin, the itching is often most severe on the dog’s abdomen, chest, legs, and ears. Where does the mite come from? The mites can be transmitted when a dog is in contact with another infected pet dog or other member of the canine family (such as a fox). Although the mites spend their entire lives on the dog, some mites do fall off into the environment when the dog scratches. These mites can survive in the environment for up to 3 weeks in the right climate, and provide a source of infection for other dogs. Also, because some dogs can harbor (and transmit) the mite without showing signs of skin disease, all the dogs in the home of an infected dog have the potential to be infected and to require treatment. Can the mite infect humans? Yes. The mites prefer to live on dogs, but can also live for at least 6 days on humans. They cause an itchy, uncomfortable skin condition. If you are exhibiting any unusual symptoms, please see your physician or dermatologist. How is it diagnosed? The mite infestation is usually diagnosed by a skin scraping, which is a simple in- clinic procedure performed by a veterinarian. Since the mites can be very difficult to find, we sometimes make the diagnosis based on the signs exhibited by the dog and their subsequent response to treatment.

  • Children Hospitalized for Myiasis in a Reference Center in Uruguay
    Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México RESEARCH ARTICLE Children hospitalized for myiasis in a reference center in Uruguay Martín Notejane1,2*, Cristina Zabala1,2, Lucía Ibarra2, Leticia Sosa2, and Gustavo Giachetto1,2 1Clínicas Pediátricas, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de la República; 2Hospital Pediátrico, Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell. Montevideo, Uruguay Abstract Background: Myiasis is an emerging disease caused by tissue invasion of dipteran larvae. In Uruguay, Cochliomyia homini- vorax and Dermatobia hominis are the most frequent species. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics and the follow-up of children < 15 years hospitalized for myiasis in a reference center in Uruguay between 2010 and 2019. Methods: We conducted a descriptive and retrospective study by reviewing medical records. We analyzed the following variables: age, sex, comorbidities, origin, the month at admission, clinical manifestations, other parasitoses, treatments, complications, and larva species identified. Results: We found 63 hospitalized children: median age of 7 years (1 month–14 years), 68% of females. We detected risk comorbidities for myiasis (33%), of which chronic malnutrition was the most frequent (n = 6); 84% were from the south of the country; 76% were hospitalized during the summer. Superficial and multiple cutaneous involvements were found in 86%: of the scalp 50, furunculoid type 51, secondary to C. hominivorax 98.4%, and to D. hominis in 1.6%. As treatments, larval extraction was detected in all of them, surgical in 22%. Asphyctic products for parasites were applied in 94%, ether in 49. Antimicrobials were prescribed in 95%; cephradine and ivermectin were the most frequent. About 51% presented infectious complications: impetigo was found in 29, cellulitis in 2, and abscess in 1.
