Abstract
Sixteen serotypes of Salmonella spp. were isolated from 37 (26.8%) of 138 orphaned kangaroo and wallaby pouch-young which were in the care of guardians in north Queensland. Sal. lansing, Sal. virchow and Sal. wandsworth were the most prevalent serotypes. Orphaned macropodid joeys are a potential source of zoonotic infection for Salmonella spp. and recommendations to reduce the risk of transmission to humans are presented.

Cats--source of protection or infection? A case-control study of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Am J Epidemiol 1987; 126:942-8.

Abstract
In the first case-control study analyzing risk factors in sporadic hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, 111 cases occurring in Shanghai in 1983 and 1984 and 136 matched controls were studied. Three factors were associated with risk of disease: travel in the month before onset of illness, intense exposure to rodents in the home, and cat ownership. Risk associated with cat ownership was not confounded by exposure to rodents in the home. Neither cat ownership nor risk associated with rodent exposure was confounded by history of travel. The role of cats as reservoir hosts of Hantaan virus is undefined, but this epidemiologic study indicates that infected cats may pose an important risk in the spread of this virus to humans. A survey of peridomestic animals in suburban Shanghai disclosed Hantaan virus infections in two rodent species and in an insectivore, Suncus murinus.

Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni is the most common enteric pathogen isolated from university and college students in the United States. During the fall and winter quarters of the 1983-1984 academic year, the authors conducted a case-control study at the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, to identify risk factors for C. jejuni enteritis. Students with diarrhea whose cultures yielded C. jejuni were compared with controls matched by age, sex, and residence. A total of 45 case-control pairs were interviewed about exposures during the week before the case's onset of illness. The infections occurred sporadically and were caused by a wide variety of C. jejuni serotypes. Three risk factors were identified: eating fully cooked chicken, eating chicken reported to be raw or undercooked, and contact with a cat or kitten. No case reported drinking raw milk. No significant association was found between illness and the places where chicken meals were prepared or the specific manner in which chicken was cooked. Chicken may be the principal vehicle of transmission for sporadic Campylobacter enteritis among college students.

Abstract
During the period from July 10-26, 1984, 33 cases of serologically confirmed leptospirosis occurred in a small town in central Italy. The fatality rate, including the deaths of two unconfirmed cases, was 8.6% (3 of 35). Based on serologic evidence, the infection was caused by leptospires of the serogroup Australis. Epidemiologic study showed that the patients contracted the infection by drinking water from a fountain. The source of leptospiral contamination was probably a hedgehog trapped in a reservoir of water not in use but still connected to the water system of the fountain.

Abstract
A competitive-type solid phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) was developed for the detection of antibody to bovine polyomavirus. Comparison of RIA and counter-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) results on 273 cattle sera indicated that both techniques were detecting antibody of like specificity. Human sera from 256 blood donors, 219 people recently vaccinated against polio, rubella or rabies, 50 immunosuppressed patients and 472 people with various occupational exposure to cattle were tested for antibody to bovine polyomavirus, the foetal rhesus monkey kidney strain, (anti-FRKV) by RIA. Apart from one blood donor and one of 108 rabies vaccinees only those in close contact with cattle possessed anti-FRKV. Compared with 62 per cent seropositive in the natural hosts, cattle, 71 per cent of veterinary surgeons, 50 per cent of cattle farmers, 40 per cent of abattoir workers, 16 per cent of veterinary institute technical staff and 10 per cent of veterinary students were anti-FRKV positive. Our findings indicate that the theoretical hazard of FRKV infection from undetected contamination of current tissue culture derived vaccines may, in practice, be remote. Proposed wider use of primate kidney cells as substrates for new vaccines may increase this risk.

Abstract
The first isolation of zoonotic campylobacters in Argentina is described. Samples from intestinal contents and swabbing of carcasses of clinically healthy cattle and swine destined for consumption were analysed. In cattle, isolations of C. fetus subsp. jejuni and C. sputorum were made from intestinal content samples (1.7% and 6.9% respectively for each species), and only the former species was isolated from carcass swabbing samples (3.2%). Isolations in swine were made only from intestinal contents (6.9%). We discuss the significance of these isolations in relation to the role the animal species studied play in the epidemiological chain of this zoonosis.

Abstract
Vaccination of humans against rotavirus (RV) diarrhea may be accomplished by oral immunization with attenuated animal strains known to be antigenically very similar to human strains. To define better the degree of infectivity in nature of these animal strains for humans, we conducted surveillance for RV infection/diarrhea in 180 farm workers, their 161 family contacts, and the 566 animals (512 cattle, 35 pigs, and 19 sheep) on 14 farms in rural Panama. No correlation between the high infection rates in farm workers (72%) and their family contacts (78%) and in cattle (56%) could be demonstrated. Heads of families with four or more children with RV infection experienced a twofold greater rate of RV infection compared with heads of families of similar size without RV infection. Despite the close similarity between human and bovine RV, in Panama intrafamilial (particularly child-to-child or child-to-parent) rather than interspecies transmission appeared to be the most important route for the spread of this highly infectious virus.

Abstract
During the course of the recently concluded smallpox eradication program, a new human orthopoxvirus infection was discovered which is caused by monkeypox virus. The disease occurs sporadically in remote villages within tropical rain forests of West and Central Africa. The disease is rare; only 155 cases having been reported from 1970 to 1983. The symptoms and signs of human monkeypox resemble those of smallpox, differing significantly only in the occurrence of lymphadenopathy with human monkeypox disease. Of 155 cases, some 80% are believed to have resulted from infection from an as yet unknown animal reservoir; the rest occurred among unvaccinated close contacts among whom a secondary attack rate of 15% was observed. Although person-to-person spread appears to have occurred in some instances, few cases were observed in the third or fourth generation of transmission and none thereafter. Since 1982, the incidence of human monkeypox infections in Zaire has increased concomitant with an intensified surveillance program. Additional reasons which might explain the increased incidence are discussed. Further surveillance and research of this primarily zoonotic infection are warranted and are in progress.

Abstract
Hairsamples of domestic and laboratory animals suspected of dermatophytosis were examined for the presence of dermatophytes. A nutritionally poor base-medium developed by the author was successfully used in the isolation and identification of dermatophytes. Casein-medium supplemented with vitamins and Sabouraud-liquid medium were used in special cases. Dermatophytes were isolated in 36 of 331 samples (10.9%). The dermatophytes recovered were Microsporum canis: 13 isolates from cat. 4 from dog. 1 from horse; Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. granulare: 3 isolates from dog, 3 from horse, 2 from guinea pig and 1 from rabbit; Trichophyton terrestre 1 isolate from dog. Eleven of the 13 feline isolates originated from house cats and the relative frequency was higher among the purebred cats. Two of the cat isolates were connected with human dermatophytosis.

Abstract
The presence of Taimyr of independent natural tularemia foci of tundra type was revealed on the basis of isolation of tularemia causative agent from lemmings and the objects of external environment and detection of a specific antigen in the pellets of birds-myophages and mummified cadavers of animals. Possible ways of circulation of the microbe in the lemming population are discussed.

Abstract
Cases of skin (skin-artericular) form of erysipeloid were recorded in the islands of the Sea of Okhotsk. The natural foci of the causative agent of this infection were polyhostal and polyvectoral in character. The causative agent of erysipeloid exists among the animals habitating on land and sea. Mass species of animals characteristic of the island landscape served as the sources of infection. Their four landscape types (mountaineous-taiga, of sea coast and rocks, anthropurgic settlement, and of water bodies--salt and freshwater) were preliminarily distinguished by the combination of biocenological, epidemiological, and epizootological peculiarities of natural erysipeloid foci.

Abstract
A 62-year-old woman developed bubonic plague with an epitrochlear bubo one to two days after skinning two cottontail rabbits. The implicated rabbits were later recovered from the patient's freezer, and Yersinia pestis was isolated from marrows of both rabbits. Although human plague cases in the United States have occasionally been traced to exposure to wild rabbits, this is the first documentation of plague infection in the actual rabbits to which the patient was exposed. All reported cases of rabbit-associated plague in the United States were then reviewed. Eight cases were characterized by direct exposure to rabbit tissues. Seven of the eight cases occurred in adult males who had hunted rabbits during winter months in plague-endemic areas. These patients had upper extremity buboes, and the case-fatality ration for the group was 50%. Three other cases in which rabbit exposure was indirect or its role less clear, were also analyzed.
