Highlights. WI-HER and RTI collaborated with NTDCP to conduct a GESI Pause and Reflect (P&R) meeting in Arusha from October 17-19, 2022. The meeting brought together the six councils (Ulanga DC, Mlimba DC, Longido DC, Monduli DC, Simanjiro DC and Kiteto DC) where the GESI behavior change activity was implemented in FY22 to document lessons learned and plan for GESI implementation in FY23. The meeting highlighted the importance of health education in addressing barriers to MDA uptake and involving government and traditional community leaders in MDA. Participants also discussed how to integrate GESI lessons learned into the CDD training package and potential activities for CCHPs. • Act | East supported the NTDCP to conduct a preparation meeting for the upcoming CCHP Pause and Reflect meeting in November. The preparation meeting was conducted in Singida from October 21-23, 2022. The technical team involved officers from PORALG, Directorate of Policy and Planning (DPP) office of the MOH, R4D, and WI-HER who collaboratively reviewed the meeting agenda, presentations, and documentation tools.

Highlights. Using single- or double-guarded swabs for deep nasopharyngeal sampling of preweaning calves shows a high agreement for recovery for Pasteurella multocida as evaluated by traditional culture methods. • Unguarded swabs had a higher percentage of polymicrobial growth compared with guarded swab methods, and their use should take this finding into account. ® JDS ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,1 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇,1 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇,2 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇,3 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,1 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,1,4 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇,1,4 and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Pereira1* Abstract: Accurate isolation and identification of pathogens for an animal with bovine respiratory disease are of critical importance to direct appropriate decision-making related to the treatment of individual animals, as well as control and prevention options in a herd setting. The objective of this study was to compare nasopharyngeal sampling approaches to evaluate accuracy and agreement for the recovery of Mannheimia haemolytica (MH) and Pasteurella multocida (PM) from deep nasopharyngeal swabs (DNS) using 3 different swabs. Deep nasopharyngeal samples were collected from 45 dairy calves using 3 swabs: (1) double-guarded culture swab (DGS); (2) single-guarded culture swab (SGS); and (3) unguarded culture swab (UGS). To evaluate the degree of agreement between DGS, SGS, and UGS, culture results were compared for each calf sampled by using a kappa agreement test. Overall, findings from our study support that when using either SGS or DGS for DNS sampling of preweaning calves, a high agreement for recovery of PM is observed. A low recovery of MH was observed in the study, limiting the conclusion comparing the 3 DNS methods. Use of UGS is considered a potential alternative; however, a higher percentage of polymicrobial growth was found with UGS samples. ovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a multifactorial disease and can cause persistent negative economic impacts on the cattle industry due to higher morbidity and mortality rates of dairy calves and cattle in feedlots in the United States (Miles, 2009; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2014; Peel, 2020). This multiagent complex is responsible for inducing clinical disease and lung pathology in young calves (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2015), leading to a decrease in feed intake and growth, increased antibiotic use and resistance, and higher mortal- ity rates (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2010; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2020). Bovine respira- tory disease is a complex disease involving the interaction between environmental factors, host immuni...
