Brucellosis Found In Wyoming Cattle

Cowherds Quarantined Because Of Wyoming Brucellosis

Routine surveillance testing has identified brucellosis affected cattle herds in Wyoming. One herd is in Park County which borders Yellowstone National Park and Montana. The other is in Sublett County in west-central Wyoming. While the two counties are not contiguous, they are connected by forested areas and mountain ranges.

Both herds are located within Wyoming’s Brucellosis Designated Surveillance Area (DSA) and were quarantined following confirmation of the test results. No contact herd quarantines are anticipated. The Wyoming Livestock Board (WLSB) currently has three herds in Park County and another herd in Sublette County under brucellosis quarantine.

Testing of affected herds is a cooperative effort between herd owners and private veterinary practitioners. USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Veterinary Services (VS) personnel participate. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department cooperates with federal agencies in surveillance and diagnostics of brucellosis.

In cattle and bison, the bacteria of concern is Brucella abortus. Brucellosis or “bangs disease” has been in the U.S. since the 1930s. All 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are today considered brucellosis-free—except in livestock near the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) where wild bison and elk often intermingle with cattle in the last remaining reservoir of this disease in the U.S. For the full article, click HERE.
