Mannheimia haemolytica • late 1800’s – introduced from sheep • Population decline; 2 M to ~70,000 • Pneumonia leading cause mortality; up to 90% • Domestic sheep - developed immunity • http://blogs.opb.org/fieldjournal/2011/01/24/new-evidence-disease-jumps-from-domestic-to-wild-sheep/ • Environmental stressors • Mortality - All age classes • Neonate mortality – 1 to 15 yrs suppressed recruitment
Mannheimia haemolytica • Commingling - bighorn herd die-offs • Harvest strategies (DD) • Public grazing policies = limit interaction with sheep • BLM = Bureau of Land Mgt • USFS = U.S. Forest Service
Bovine TB Animal’s macrophage Mycobacterium bovis
Bovine TB • Intracellularin macrophages
Bovine TB Granuloma
Bovine TB • The lung contains multiple coalescing foci of caseous necrosis surrounded by thin pale fibrous tissue capsules (tubercles). Most of the lymph node is replaced by caseonecrotic debris.
Bovine TB • More severely infected cervids can have multiple pea-sized nodules or large cheesy or pus-filled masses in lymph nodes of head, neck, lungs. • In cervids, lesions can occur throughout the chest cavity, under the skin of the chest, and in the abdominal cavity as well.
Bovine TB • In some instances, superficial lymph nodes in the neck will develop large abscesses that may rupture and drain through the skin.
Bovine TB • UK • Badgers (Meles meles) and cattle
Bovine TB • Biosecurity
Bovine TB • New Zealand • Brushtail possum
Bovine TB – Population Models • R0 : basic reproductive ratio • Depends on social behavior (e.g., contact rates) & bio. parameters (e.g., latency) • Crucial statistic – control of epidemics; represents threshold • R0 > 1 epidemic propagates • R0 < 1 epidemic dies out • R0 = b/d
Bovine TB – Population Models • Decrease k (monitor) or reduce R0 by increasing mortality (culling)
Bovine TB • Brushtail possums • Badgers Models: Chance (Prob) of bovine TB epidemic for initial introduction of infectious individuals into populations R0 = 1.6 – 2.3 (possums) and 1.1 – 1.2 (badgers)
Bovine TB • Models: Probability bovine TB epidemic for introductions of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 individuals, with culls. • Chance of epidemic declines to 0 when cull mortality occurs at a rate of 2.4 y−1. Life expectancy = 5 mo. • R0 = (pb + β) / (α + d)
Bovine TB in MI • History of bovine TB in Michigan cattle • Bovine TB into wild deer herd; reservoir for reinfection of cattle • Triggers testing of deer
Bovine TB in MI • Michigan Bovine TB Eradication Project • Multi-agency team of experts from the MDA, DNR, DCH, MSU, USDA
Bovine TB in MI • Surveys of deer pop. • Testing of harvested deer • Ban baiting • Reduce interactions with cattle (conc. feed) • Testing of cattle herds, depopulate if +
Response variables (different potential modes of TB transmission): • direct aerosol transmission due to close spatiotemporal association between potentially infected deer and uninfected cattle • indirect transmission by temporally segregated contact with dispersed feed by deer and cattle. • indirect transmission by temporally segregated contact with concentrated feed by deer and cattle VerCauteren et al. 2008
Bovine TB in MI • Coyotes as sentinels • 58 of 175 coyotes tested positive • Prevalence by county ranged from 19% to 52% (mean 33%, SE 0.07) • Prevalence in deer (n = 3,817) was lower (i.e., 1.49% • Focus on coyotes rather than deer, sampled 97% fewer individuals and increased the likelihood of detecting M. bovis by 40%. VerCauteren et al. 2008
Bovine TB in MN • Since 2005, 12 cattle farms • Since fall 2007, 27 wild deer (+) 8000+ deer tested; within 5 mi • TB free since 1976
Bovine TB in MN • Fall 2006: Ban on rec. feeding in 4,000 mi2 area • 2006-07: aerial survey = 900+ deer in core area; 29 illegal bait sites • Feb 2007, contract with APHIS-WS = sharpshooting in core area • Removed 488 deer (6+) • Fall 2007, new deer permit area created for TB zone • 1,166 deer harvested (4+) • Prevalence estimated at 0.37%
Bovine TB in Manitoba • Since 1991, >40 elk and >8 white-tailed deer have positive in Riding Mountain area
