Brucellosis Found In Madison County Herd | MTPR - MTPR

-

The Montana Department of Livestock says a brucellosis-infected cow from a Madison County ranch was identified during a voluntary whole-herd test. The animal was euthanized, and the infection confirmed at the National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Iowa. The cow tested negative last year.

Officials say past cases of brucellosis in livestock were the result of transmission from infected wild elk. Montana’s Livestock agency issued a press-release Monday, but officials could not be reached for comment by deadline.

DOL’s press release did not specify when the discovery was made or identify the specific ranch which is now under quarantine. An epidemiological investigation is underway.

The infected animal was discovered in Montana’s Designated Surveillance Area, a four-county zone in southwest Montana where risk of brucellosis transmission from elk runs high. Montana’s Department of Livestock says this is the tenth brucellosis affected herd found since the creation of the DSA in 2010. Livestock officials say due to current USDA regulations and the surveillance area, Montana is not at risk of losing its brucellosis free status.

Freddie Mercury's haunting last picture before tragic death from Aids - Irish Mirror

-
Freddie Mercury's final days in 1991 remain enshrined in mystery, nearly 30 years on. The Queen frontman succumbed to his battle with Aids on November 24, having released a public statement just 24 hours previously that confirmed he was HIV+. Rumours had been swirling about his health status for a number of years, with speculation that he had been tested for HIV and Aids as far back as 1986, after his health declined so rapidly that Queen had to halt their 1987 Magic Tour before it was due to finish. Freddie, real name Farrokh Bulsara, had been something of a recluse in his last two years, preferring to stay at his lavish Garden Lodge home in west London's Kensington than rub shoulders with other celebrities at showbiz parties. Tragically, Freddie's health continued to deteriorate in private, as feverish speculation mounted that he was gravely sick. The last known photos of him show how much weight he had lost during his rare public appearances towards the end. On Sep
