26
Q

How does contagious ecthyma present a hazard?

A

Infected sheep have abrasions and prickles in the mouth, lips, nose and tongue where it causes blisters, forming scabs. Trans to inspectors through minute breaks in the skin,

Looks like Herpes. lol.

Ovations sampling of CCS is 10/100 CCSs.
Alternatively %100 of CCS may be checked.

32

Alternatively %100 of CCS may be checked.

33
Q

Body, Contains the viral DNA/RNA
Several Projections, Attach to host cells, injecting viral DNA into host cells.

34
Q

What is a Parasite?

A

Org that infest an animal/human without giving any benifits to the host.

35

Tape Worm

36
Q

Describe the typical traits of Round Worms. Example?

A

Liver Fluke. Shaped like a Flounder.

38
Q

A

Cysticercus Bovis/Cysticercus Cellulosae. Long, flat, segmented body.

39
Q

Trichinosis hazard to human health?

A

Trichinosis is listed in the Biosecurity (Notifiable Org) order 2016. It is a Round Worm parasite of pigs causing Dx in humans, it is contracted by ingesting contaminated Pork containing the live worms. They lodge in the S/ intestines and lay large numbers of larvae that travel through the blood and arrive at muscles and eye causing degeneration. Because they are not visible at inspection, pig and horse meat are sampled and examined at the Lab

40
Q

Cysticercus Cellulosae and Cysticercus Bovis hazards to human health?

A
  • Cysticercus Cellulosae (pigs) is listed in the Biosecurity (Notifiable Org) order 2016. It is a parasitic Tape Worm in humans, adult 5m T/W live in the S/ intestines, shedding segments containing 1000s of eggs onto pasture where pigs ingest, Eggs hatch in the stomach, burrow through the wall into blood and travel the body, lodging in muscle where they form Cysts. When Humans eat affected meat, cycsts develop into new T/W. In some cases, T/W in the S/I can cause the movement of the intestine to reverse, carrying eggs to the stomach, resulting in hatching larvae entering the blood, and developing cycsts in the brain and muscles.
  • Cysticercus Bovis (Cattle) is a parasitic Tape Worm in humans, adult 4-10m T/W live in the S/ intestines, shedding segments containing 1000s of eggs onto pasture where pigs ingest, Eggs hatch in the stomach, burrow through the wall into blood and travel the body, lodging in muscle where they form Cysts. When Humans eat affected meat, cycsts develop into new T/W. In some cases, T/W in the S/I can cause the movement of the intestine to reverse, carrying eggs to the stomach, resulting in hatching larvae entering the blood, and developing cycsts in the brain and muscles.
41
Q

Consequences of Cysticercus Cellulosae

A

EU OMAR 7.3 Prohibition/Restrictions
1a. Meat from pigs must not be exported to the EU

42
Q

Cysticercus Bovis or C. Bovis consequences:

A
  • Customer restrictions
  • Market Access
  • Increased costs
  • Impacts on farmers, stock movement
  • Increased inspection procedures. CoP 7, 4.2.3
43
Q

What is Hydatids?

A

A parasitic Tape worm of dogs, larval stage affects cattle, sheep, pigs and deer. Humans contract the Dx when handling infested dogs.

44
Q

What are the Biological hazards to human/animal health from Fungi in the meat inspection industry?

A

Fungi that infect humans are not common. However Ringworm can be present

45
Q

Caseous Lymphandenitis CLA is commonly caused by what?

A

Bacteria entering small cuts, eg. shearing wounds, or inhaled or ingested. It can affect LN, liver, spleen, kidneys and lungs
