Garrett provided simple statistics such as graphs‚ percentages

body secretions which contain blood cells are potential sources of virus to other goats in the herd. Since not all goats that become infected with CAE virus progress to disease‚ it is important to test goats routinely for infection by means of a serology test which detects viral antibodies in the serum. In a simple sense‚ CAE is a viral infection that surfaces as a form of arthritis. It impacts adult goat mobility and quality of life. There is no known cure for CAE‚ so proactive herd monitoring

may be a marker for H. pylori infection; also because of its high sensitivity and specificity it has been widely used in epidemiologic studies and many physicians didn’t further diagnose their patients for H. pylori infection after an IgG negative serology (13‚ 14). Although the diagnostic utility of IgG antibodies to H. pylori is well established‚ the usefulness of IgA tests is less well documented. Authors reported a subset of H. pylori infected individuals who were positive for IgA but negative

Two other systems (P and MN) very rarely cause HTR and HDN and the Lutheran and Lewis systems rarely cause HTR but not HDN. Current understanding of the serology and genetics of the major blood group antigens has enabled prevention of both HTR and HDN and this understanding forms the topic of this lecture.
