I could not save poor dear General
Glanders, who was dying under the hands of that ignorant man--dying.
A horse is mortal; suppose mine had had the glanders or the farcy?"
A horse slips and injures a joint; a horse stumbles and breaks his knees to the bone; a horse eats out of a manger in which a glandered horse has eaten.
According to
Glanders, one Hunting machine operator says that he has been able to save a number of parts because of the variable speed threading option.
(3) The Germans used anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) and
glanders (Pseudomonas mallei) against the horses and mules of the US Army and its Allies in World War I.
Iraq was busy brewing veritable swimming pools full of anthrax, tularemia,
glanders, bubonic plague, as well as smaller amounts of other agents.
`It's almost embarrassing - they say, `Here come the
Glanders again,' ' said Art
Glander, who has kids at Thurston Middle and Ridgeview Elementary.
Popovic is the Subject Matter Expert for anthrax, brucellosis, melioidosis, and
glanders for the National Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Network and runs the BSL-3 laboratory designed and established to develop expertise in isolation, identification, rapid diagnosis, and molecular subtyping of B.
* Category B - Brucellosis, Q fever, ricin toxin from castor beans,
Glanders, epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens, and enterotoxin B of Staphylococcus)
Bioterrorists don't need rare pathogens like smallpox or
glanders to inflict misery.
Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) involved several pathogenic bacteria, including Burkholderia mallei, the causative agent of
glanders. This report summarizes the first human case of
glanders in the United States since 1945, and emphasizes the importance of considering occupational exposures among laboratory workers with a febrile illness, the difficulty of characterizing unusual agents, including potential agents of biological terrorism such as
glanders using routine laboratory techniques, the appropriate isolation practices for patients who may be infected by these agents, and laboratory safety.
