After the Civil War in the United States, Texas cattle went north. The journeys to the cattle towns of the Midwest were hundreds of miles away. The Longhorns themselves remained healthy. And the local livestock who shared their pastures with them soon became sick. The mortality rate among the northern livestock was up to 90 per cent. In 1866, the pastoralists Kansas and Missouri protested against the passage of Texas herds. The following year, the lawmakers of these states closed down parts of the districts for Texas cattle. In August 1868, cattlecars with cattle suffering from Texas fever arrived in New Jersey's livestockyards. More than half of the animals died on their way. The mystery was solved by scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Livestock Office, including Teobald Smith and Frederick Kilborn. In 1893, their bulletin on the nature, causes and prevention of Texas fever was published. It was the mite that carried it. In the report, the authors recalled that veterinarians who had not seen disease doubted early observations and some called them "roman in pathology". Texas fever is also called babiasiasia. It's called Babesia bovis and B. Bigemina, carry the Ripicephalus annulatus and R mites. microplus. The claw-babesia system was one of the first vector-borne diseases described in detail. The idea came out of this: to destroy the transmitter, and the disease would cease to spread. On July 1, 1906, the Bureau launched a mites elimination campaign involving 15 states. By that time, losses had been estimated at over $130 million per year. The territories were kept quarantined, cattle were driven through the baths at times, and peeled areas were protected from re-suspension. By 1943, the mites had been eliminated in most parts of the country. In Florida, it took another 17 years, including because the mites used white-tailed reindeer as backup owners. In the south of Texas, a permanent quarantine zone remained along the border with Mexico. For her protection, the Ministry has horse inspectors, "tic-riders." They catch stray cattle, examine them on mites and process them.

The Moscow Public Prosecutor's Office found a fake passport in one of the series of Multi-Channel 8 vaccines: it was after the party had been used that the deaths of dogs were recorded. In September, Rosselkhoznadzor found an animal-mortality virus in the 20th series of vaccines.
In 1999, the Western Nile virus was first detected in the western hemisphere. The first signs were dead ravens in New York City and the surrounding area, and the death of exhibition birds at the zoo. At the same time, encephalitis was registered in humans and first diagnosed as St. Louis'encephalitis. A real agent of human and animal disease was discovered when the virus was isolated from dead birds. In the autumn of 1999, veterinarian doctors in Long Island noticed an unusual group of neurological diseases in horses. The lab confirmed 20 cases: 19 horses and one pony. The first animal became ill on August 26, the last on October 23. The disease began acutely with an attack on the hind limbs, marked by a muscle tremor, and a part of animals'inability to rise. Four animals fell or were put to sleep, and 16 recovered completely. 20 out of 69 horses with no symptoms standing next to the sick found antibodies for the virus. In 2000, 23 cases were confirmed in the state of New York. Only 32% of sick horses had fever. They were compared to horses by the clinic with similar neurological signs, where no virus was found, and statistically significant differences were not detected. The authors'conclusion: No diagnosis of the West Nile virus in horses is available on one clinical basis. And the horses weren't an early signal: where they were sick, the virus was already found in wild birds, mosquitoes, or both.
