The valued comments from Prof. Wiwanitkit echo the self-criticism of the authors on the topic. The study aimed to investigate the survival potential of M. bovis in dried meat. The most effective or ideal food preparation method was not discussed but was recommended for further study. It must be emphasised, however, that no pathogens - only non-tuberculous mycobacteria - were isolated from the processed samples.

The 2nd edition of the Vetdiagnostix Laboratory Manual has just been released.Weighing in at 3 kg, this 412-page comprehensive diagnostic laboratory guide is lavishly illustrated with in excess of 1500 full-colour images. Species covered include canine, feline, bovine, small ruminant, porcine, equine and exotic avians. The title is somewhat misleading, as the manual is not restricted to laboratory techniques, but takes a systematic, practical, step-bystep approach to collecting suitable specimens and interpreting results.

This DVD is essentially a teaching tool. It is a result of a stated aim to provide practitioners as well as students and academics with a visual and 3-D appreciation of normal and abnormal parturition. In addition, there is provision by a panel of experienced clinicians of recommended therapeutic methods for correction of abnormal parturition (dystocia).

The Scientific and Technical Review of the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) is published every 4 months for the use of the veterinary and medical professions, and especially for veterinary services. A vast body of literature appeared as a result of intensified interest in avian influenza since the emergence and subsequent spread of highly pathogenic notifiable (HPNAI) H5N1, boosted by massive increases in funding for research.

October 2008 saw the commemoration of the centenary of the inauguration of the first building on the Onderstepoort campus. This building was declared a national monument in 1983. The roots of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute actually go back further, to 1896, when the rinderpest pandemic sweeping down the African continent prompted the government of the then Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek to establish a 'disinfection station' at Daspoort, on the outskirts of Pretoria, under the supervision of Arnold Theiler. The activities of that rather basic laboratory were transferred in October 1908 to the state-of-the-art building that had been erected on the farm 'De Onderstepoort', north of Pretoria. The name Onderstepoort has since become synonymous with veterinary research and education, not only in South Africa, but also far beyond its borders.
