Listeriosis is an infectious but not contagious disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, far more common in domestic animals (domestic mammals and poultry), especially ruminants, than in human beings. (wikipedia.org)
One of our goals was to see if we could shed light on how Listeria enters homes and if ruminant-farm households were at greater risk for contamination," LeJeune says. (hobbyfarms.com)
Listeriosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Listeria, the neurological form being more common in ruminants. (pvb.com.br)
Considering that listeriosis is a common disease in this region and the fact that isolates are scarcely recovered from small ruminants, it would be important to emphasize the need for Listeria isolation to better characterize the strains that affect animals. (pvb.com.br)
Mr. Neuman last year also penned - "As Cheesemaking Blooms, So Can Listeria" and "Small Cheesemaker Defies F.D.A. Over Recall" - following a Listeria recall linked to Estrella Family Creamery ( See Inspection ) and an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to Sally Jackson Cheese ( See Inspection ) - both producers from the state of Washington.

Goats2
The aim of this study was to report sheep and goatslisteriosis cases from 2016 to 2021 in northwestern Uruguay. (pvb.com.br)
There are four genetically distinct lineages of L. monocytogenes (I-IV), with most lineage III and IV isolates obtained from ruminants. (unl.edu)
An epidemiologic investigation of patient 5 indicated exposure to milk produced by dairy A. On December 21, a L. monocytogenes isolate obtained from the milk sample taken from the home of patient 5 was confirmed to have a PFGE pattern indistinguishable from that of the isolates from the four identified listeriosis patients. (cdc.gov)
MDPH then investigated all 11 cases of listeriosis reported during 2007 in Massachusetts residents for whom no clinical isolates had been submitted to the State Laboratory Institute (SLI) of MDPH for PFGE analysis. (cdc.gov)
This study revealed serial outbreaks and numerous matches to concurrent food and animal isolates and highlighted the potential of whole-genome sequencing for improving routine surveillance of C. jejuni by enhancing outbreak detection, source tracing, and potentially prevention of human infections. (cdc.gov)
a substantial number of Campylobacter outbreaks may be overlooked because of a lack of routine microbiological typing of isolates. (cdc.gov)
This hypothesis is supported by evidence from a recent study, in which whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based typing of selected clinical Campylobacter isolates from patients in Denmark identified numerous small outbreak-like clusters ( 6 ). (cdc.gov)
To achieve a national surveillance system that will detect ongoing Campylobacter outbreaks in real time, highly discriminatory subtyping of isolates is needed. (cdc.gov)
Cattle4
In a beef cattle facility an outbreak of abortions occurred over a 36-day period and included samples from two aborted (non-viable) fetuses and 21 post-abortion clinical cases. (unl.edu)
This is the first report of L. monocytogenes genomics being used as part of an outbreak investigation of cattle abortion. (unl.edu)
It's particularly active, however, on farms with ruminant animals, like sheep or cattle , regardless of the farm's size. (hobbyfarms.com)
Nine animals (n=9) of three outbreaks and five sporadic cases of listeriosis were studied. (pvb.com.br)
Encephalitis2
Three main forms are usually recognized throughout the affected species: encephalitis, the most common form in ruminants. (wikipedia.org)
Among a number of disease conditions in listeriosis, encephalitis and uterine infection with abortion are the most common and serious ones (Low & Donachie, 1997 ). (auburn.edu)
Foodborne1
FSMA attempts to shift the focus of food safety from reacting to foodborne outbreaks to preventing them from occurring. (osu.edu)
Pasteurella1
Reinvestigations of so called Pasteurella haemolytica obtained from ruminants. (bisgaard.eu)
Isolate1
On October 24, 2007, MDPH identified a listeriosis isolate (from patient 3) with a PFGE pattern indistinguishable from an isolate (from patient 1) submitted approximately 120 days earlier ( Table ). (cdc.gov)
Lambs2
late abortion gastrointestinal sepsis with liver damage, in monogastric species as well as in preruminant calves and lambs Listeriosis in animals can sometimes be cured with antibiotics (tetracyclines and benzyl penicillin) when diagnosed early. (wikipedia.org)
Sheep of all ages may become affected during the first outbreak on the property, but in subsequent years usually only the lambs are affected. (vic.gov.au)
20171
Evolutionary, genetic, structural characterization and its functional implications for the influenza A (H1N1) infection outbreak in India from 2009 to 2017. (cdc.gov)
Abortions2
There are many potential causes of abortions in small ruminants, but infectious diseases are the main culprits. (oregonstate.edu)
Abortions occur in the last one to two months of pregnancy and rates can range from 20 to 90% in a herd/flock during an outbreak. (oregonstate.edu)
Investigation3
MDPH, in collaboration with local public health officials, conducted an investigation, which implicated pasteurized, flavored and nonflavored, fluid milk produced by a local dairy (dairy A) as the source of the outbreak. (cdc.gov)
Outbreak investigation has been initiated in collaboration with relevant municipal chief physicians, the Veterinary Institute, and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. (ceezad.org)

Illnesses1
While the current listeriosis outbreak is one of the worst cases the U.S. has experienced in recent history-the last major outbreak occurred in 2002 and resulted in 54 illnesses and 8 deaths-the bacterium is fairly common. (hobbyfarms.com)
Species1
The good news is that although L. monocytogenes can infect many animal species, dogs and cats rarely get listeriosis. (rawlovepets.co.za)
Strains2
Three genetically distinct strains within two lineages of L. monocytogenes caused the abortion outbreak. (unl.edu)
outbreak-related Salmonella typhi strains are recovered from 30-day-old cheese, but not from 48- or 63-day-old cheese resulting in Alberta, Canada halting the sale of raw milk cheese unless ripened for at least 90 days (Marth 1969). (foodpoisonjournal.com)
Occur1
This finding suggests that more outbreaks occur in Denmark than the few typically large outbreaks associated with a single event that are detected by the current surveillance system ( 7 - 10 ). (cdc.gov)
Deaths1
Contamination of cheese production facilities with milk from infected cows has caused numerous episodes of deadly human outbreaks of listeriosis with deaths of affected, typically immunocompromised individuals, and stillbirth or abortion. (auburn.edu)
Disease2
Definitive diagnosis of L. monocytogenes as a causative agent in disease outbreaks relies upon case identification, appropriate sample collection, and laboratory confirmation. (unl.edu)
However, outbreaks are rarely reported, which may reflect limitations of surveillance, for which molecular typing is not routinely performed. (cdc.gov)
Frequency1
Thus, we more comprehensively evaluated the frequency of Campylobacter outbreaks among humans in Denmark by using WGS-based typing. (cdc.gov)
Humans2
Often animals and humans can be carriers of the bacterium without displaying any symptoms of listeriosis, LeJeune says. (hobbyfarms.com)
Some infections in animals, the so-called zoonoses, such as brucellosis , salmonellosis and listeriosis , can be transmitted to humans in particular through contaminated food and in some cases, by contact with the live or slaughtered animal. (europa.eu)
Clinical2
There are numerous etiologies, including clinical listeriosis. (unl.edu)
Recent studies have proven WGS to be applicable for Campylobacter outbreak investigations ( 17 - 22 ), and it has recently been shown that WGS could trace back clinical infections directly to chicken slaughter batches ( 23 ). (cdc.gov)
Infection1
Symptoms of listeriosis include flu-like symptoms and can progress into a more severe infection of the nervous system, causing headache, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. (hobbyfarms.com)
Contamination1
This outbreak illustrates the potential for contamination of fluid milk products after pasteurization and the difficulty in detecting outbreaks of L. monocytogenes infections. (cdc.gov)
Small3
This document provides a list of common hazards to consider in the manufacturing of feed for small ruminants. (osu.edu)
Small ruminant vibrio is spread by ingestion of the organism and often introduced to a farm through the purchase of an infected carrier animal. (oregonstate.edu)
There are many reports of listeriosis in small ruminants in the region that includes Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. (pvb.com.br)
L. monocyogenes infects animals, in particular ruminants, via lesion in the upper alimentary tract that result in many cases from uptake of frozen silage. (auburn.edu)
Source1
The patients are interviewed, and the local Norwegian Food Safety Authority takes samples from food products in the homes of those who are infected, if residues are available, to identify the source of the outbreak if possible. (ceezad.org)
Recent3
A recent major outbreak of listeriosis in cantaloupes serves as a warning to hobby farmers to guard against food-borne diseases. (hobbyfarms.com)
