Brucellosis Most
Costly Malady
In Cattle Herds
No cattle disease in the United
States is more important from an
economic viewpoint than brucel
losis, writes an O. S. C. veteri
narian, Dr. O. H. Muth, in a new
extension bulletin, number 682,
entitled "Brucellosis of Cattle"
which is now ready for distribu
tion. The disease is frequently called
Bang's disease or contagious
abortion.
In cattle, the veterinarian
writes, the disease is caused by
a bacterium, Brucella abortus.
Related bacteria cause a similar
disease in goats and hogs. How
ever, tne latter are not commonly
affected in Oregon.
Either of the three organisms
will infect humans, causing un
dulant fever.
The act or aborting is the only
easily recognized disease symp
tom. Dr. Muth states the time ot
incubation between infection and
the period when animals react to
tests may vary from 14 to 100
days. The blood agglutination
test, now commonly used, is tne
only reliable method for diagnos
ing the disease.
Vaccination Helps
The bulletin covers such topics
related to brucellosis disease as
calfhood and adult animal vacci
nation, public health, and con
trol. "Vaccination of calves between
the ages of five and eight months
results in considerable protection
to a high percentage of calves,"
the author points out. "Such vac
cination, however, does not give
complete and lasting immunity
to the animals as does the vac
cination of calves for blackleg,
or the vaccination of pigs for hog
cholera.
"Evidence has accumulated
during the past several years re
vealing the liimtation of calfhood
vaccination. It has been found
that vaccination does not always
protect against severe exposure
and that the immunity acquired
diminishes after the first year,
he adds.
Copies of the bulletin are avail
able through the local county ex
tension office or by writing di
rect to the college.
