Cattlemen warned of anaplasmosis in cattle
Texas livestock producers are urged to watch for ana plasmosis this year, says Kirby Clayton county agent with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. The disease spreads through biting insects and contaminated tools including needles and dehorning gear. Sterilize equipment between animals to prevent transmission as carriers may pass the parasite to others.

Control measures urged for anaplasmosis in cattle herds
Officials emphasize that infection can start outside corners when cattle are bitten by vectors and a small amount of infected blood is involved. Control is hard. producers should consult veterinarians, identify carrier animals, test and segregate carriers, test and treat infections, vaccinate before vector season, and consider low-dose antibiotics during insect season to curb spread and severity. The Texas Medical Diagnostic Laboratories aid in diagnosis alongside local vets.

Encephalitis Virus Details and Vehicle Safety Cautions
The report notes 1971 marks a point when a foreign disease reached South Texas. It outlines VEE’s complex history with multiple hosts and contrasts it with other equine encephalitis. Birds act as reservoirs for eastern and western strains while mosquitos transmit between birds, horses, and humans but VEE multiplies rapidly in horses enabling transmission by biting mosquitos. It also mentions testing a recreational vehicle for stability on windy days, urged by Claudia Kerbel.
