Outbreak of Q-fever in the UK
Avon, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire Health Protection unit has received 5 reports of acute Q fever with onset dates between the end of May and 14 Jun 2007. All 5 confirmed cases are residents of the town of Cheltenham (Gloucestershire).

Q fever (caused by Coxiella burnetti) is thought to account for approximately one percent of community acquired pneumonia in the UK
each year and can result in serious complications such as endocarditis.

The main reservoir is sheep and other animals that can shed massive numbers in placental tissues. The main reservoirs are sheep, goats and cattle.

Transmission of Q fever occurs primarily
through inhalation of contaminated aerosols. The organism is robust and can survive in dust and animal litter for many weeks and in dried
blood for at least 6 months at room temperature.

The most infectious animal materials are the fluids of birth and afterbirth, followed by
blood, milk, urine and feces. Such infectious materials can be derived from livestock as above or from domestic animals, particularly parturient cats.

The myostatin gene and its relevance to livestock animalsmembers
Myostatin, also known as growth differentiation factor 8, a member of the transforming growth factorâ€beta superâ€family, is a negative regulator of muscle development. Myostatin acts at key points during pre†and postâ€natal life of amniotes that ultimately determine the overall muscle mass of an animal. A fascinating summary about the current an overview of mechanisms of action and its potential relevance in livestock animals.
