Nothing Reported
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Diagnostic testing remained relatively constantin the Wyoming State Vet Lab (WSVL) in 2020, despite COVID-related issues. 2. Brucellosis diagnostic challenges remain an issue but progress on novel diagnostics research was made under this project. Multipleoutbreaks of Mycoplasma bovis in prognhorns were diagnosed and both bacterial genetics and pathology described. Mortality was quite high in these outbreaks and it appears the Mycoplasma bovis represents a new threat to pronghorn populations. 3. As in #2 above, extensive testing was performed to track and establish patterns of seropositivity for brucellosis in cattle. 4. Staff were hired and are in training to develop next generation sequencing as a routine diagnostic tool in the WSVL. 5. Three publications related to this project were published in 2020.

Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Diagnostic testing was at an all time high in the Wyoming State Vet Lab (WSVL) in 2019. 2. Due to changes in testing protocols, brucellosis seropositivity was relatively quite high in cattle in 2019. Extensive efforts to establish the true infection status of individuals and herds were made including necropsy and culture of significant numbers of cattle. More work will be required to rule out false postivies as a source of seropositivity using approved testing protocols. 3. As in #2 above, extensive testing was performed to track and establish patterns of seropositivity for brucellosis in cattle. 4. Nothing to report for this objective this reporting period. 5. Ten publications related to this project were published in 2019.

Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1) Accessions to the WSVL at all time record levels in 2018. 2) Several field investigations of Brucella abortus cases were performed n 2018. These resulted in multiple isolates of Brucella abortus from cattle which were subsequently sequenced at NVSL to assist in determining source of infection. Studies on the impact of deer adenovirus A continue with genotyping of subtypes 3) The seroprevalence of pestiviruses (bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (BVDV-1), BVDV-2,Border disease virus (BDV) and HoBi-like pestivirus) in Wyoming sheep was determined. Seroprevalence to BVDV-1 was most common, with overall seroprevalence varying by region of the state. 4) Nothing to report this year. 5)Several extramural funding proposals based on the above results were submitted.

Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Numerous graduate and undergraduate students were involved in these projects. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results of work under this project have been presented to state and regional stakeholders at Wyoming Veterinary Medical Association meetings, the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association meeting, working group meetings including those with state and regional APHIS staff, the Wyoming Livestock Board and others. Direct contact with veterinarians and producers on specific problems occurs daily. In addition, this and related work is presented at national and international scientific meetings. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The Department of Veterinary Sciences and the WSVL will continue to provide diagnostic and surveillance support to the state of Wyoming and the region. Case and other material resulting from this work will be analyzed and characterized to provide new knowledge and insights into the pathogenesis, immunity and behavior of pathogens in animal populations.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
Animal Health and Hatch-related projects at the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory (WSVL) have traditionally been interrelated. The Department of Veterinary Sciences and the WSVL are actively involved in diagnosis and reporting of disease in all animal species within the state. For high impact or unusual occurrences of disease, we combine our diagnostic and scientific expertise to identify the source of the problem, recognize possible etiologies and enable the development of disease control strategies. In addition to direct and laboratory investigation of animal health problems in Wyoming, faculty and staff of the VeterinaryScience Department and WSVL invested significant time on development of standard procedures and operational standards for the recently completed BSL-3 diagnostic and laboratory facility at the University of Wyoming. Notable accomplishments this year include description of aspects of pathogenesis of cardiac lesions associated with Histophilus somni infection in cattle, econominc benefits of various types of bluetongue vaccination and analysis of the risks and benefits of BHV-1 vaccination in cattle.
