Abstract: Thrombotic meningoencephalitis (TME) is a fatal neurological disease of cattle, predominantly from North America, that is caused by Histophilus somniwith sporadic descriptions from other countries. This manuscript describes the occurrence of spontaneous TME in cattle from northern Paraná, Brazil. Most cattle had acute neurological manifestations characteristic of brain dysfunction. Hematological and cerebrospinal fluid analyses were not suggestive of bacterial infections of the brain. Histopathology revealed m… Show more

“…Descriptions of the HSDC in Brazil are incipient with abortions, 17 respiratory impairment, 18 systemic disease, 19 and TME 20 being described in cattle from different geographical regions; we believe that histophilosis might be a threat to the local beef cattle industry. 18 However, the participation of H. somni associated disease in sheep from Brazil is restricted to a single case report of a ewe with endometritis.…”

“…Data relative to the occurrence of BRD in Brazil is sparse. We have theorized that H. somni might be a threat to beef cattle feedlots due to the continual diagnosis of this pathogen in respiratory (HEADLEY et al, 2014), reproductive (HEADLEY et al, 2015b), systemic (HEADLEY et al, 2013), and neurological (HEADLEY et al, 2015a) disease syndromes in cattle from different geographical regions of Brazil. Further, BRSV was associated with BRD in several herds from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil (DRIEMEIER et al, 1997;BRASIL et al, 2013), while a retrospective study identified antigens of BRSV in cattle with bronchointerstitial pneumonia from Southern and Southeastern Brazil (FLORES et al, 2000).…”

“…Foram diagnosticados oito casos de meningoencefalite trombótica (METE) por Histophilus somni. Os casos ocorreram, normalmente, de forma isolada dentro do rebanho e quatro dos mesmos já foram descritos por Headley et al (2015). Acompanhou-se apenas um surto desta doença e nenhum bovino foi medicado como tentativa de tratamento.…”

“…Nos casos de febre catarral maligna (FCM) o diagnóstico foi confirmado por meio da histopatologia e da PCR em fragmentos do encéfalo (Headley et al 2013a). Os diagnósticos de meningoencefalite trombótica por Histophilus somni foram confirmados a partir do exame histopatológico e da PCR em material do encéfalo (Headley et al 2015). A Listeriose foi diagnosticada por meio da histopatologia e da PCR em fragmento do tronco encefálico (Headley et al 2014a).…”
