“…9,23 In ruminants in general and goats in particular, Y. pseudotuberculosis has been associated with enterotyphlocolitis and drop of milk production, 24 lymphadenitis, 24 abortion and neonatal death, 36 mastitis, 6,15,25 septicemia, and ocular disease. 19,34,35 However, most cases of Y. pseudotuberculosis published in goats are of individual animals or small groups of goats; no systematic studies of large numbers of Y. pseudotuberculosis cases in goats have been published. The objective of the current study is, therefore, to characterize the main syndromes caused by Y. pseudotuberculosis in a large number of goats diagnosed at the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System (CAHFS) during a 23-year period, aiming to contribute to the knowledge of this zoonotic disease in California.…”

Abstract. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a recognized zoonotic food-borne pathogen; however, little is known about the ecology and epidemiology of diseases caused by the bacterium in California. The objective of the current study was to contribute to the knowledge of the diseases caused by Y. pseudotuberculosis in goats, the animal species most frequently reported with clinical yersiniosis to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System, to better understand the epidemiology of this disease. A 23-year retrospective study was conducted to characterize the syndromes caused by the bacterium in goats and their temporospatial distribution, and to determine the number of cases in other animal species. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis-associated disease was diagnosed in 42 goats from 21 counties, with a strong seasonality in winter and spring. Most cases (88%) were observed within particular years (1999,(2004)(2005)(2006)(2010)(2011). The most frequently diagnosed syndrome was enteritis and/or typhlocolitis (64.3%), followed by abscessation (14.3%), abortion (11.9%), conjunctivitis (4.75%), and hepatitis (4.75%). Among other animal species, 59 cases were diagnosed in non-poultry avian species and 33 in mammals other than goats.

“…are commensals of the skin and mucus membranes and are therefore unsurprisingly found in the highest frequency in birds with no ophthalmic disease. Yersinia pseuodotuberculosis , found in one raptor, is a major pathogen and is known to cause ophthalmic disease both in humans and goats . In the months following this study, several mammals were afflicted with Yersinia pseuodotuberculosis infections in the Zoological Center Tel Aviv‐Ramat Gan.…”

Phenol red thread test and STT are both valid methods to measure tear production; however, a separate baseline must be determined for each species using these methods, as the results of one method cannot be extrapolated to the other. Due to significant differences observed within diurnal and nocturnal species, it appears that a more intricate division should be used when comparing these parameters for raptors, and the classification of diurnal or nocturnal holds little significance in the baseline of these data.
