Hemorrhagic septicemia and the greater economic impact of HS. Hemorrhagic septicemia Haemorrhagic septicaemia is one of the most economically important pasteurelloses. Haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffaloes was previously known to be associated with one of two serotypes of "P. multocida": Asian B:2 and African E:2 according to the Carter-Heddleston system, or 6:B and 6:E using the Namioka-Carter system. The disease occurs mainly in cattle and buffaloes, but has also been reported in goats ("Capra aegagrus hircus"), African buffalo ("Syncerus nanus"), camels, horses and donkeys ("Equus africanus asinus"), in pigs infected by serogroup B, and in wild elephants ("Elephas maximus"). Serotypes B:1
Selenogyrus africanus Selenogyrus africanus Selenogyrus africanus is a species of tarantula, which is native to the Ivory Coast and is a member of the Selenogyrinae subfamily. Female "Selenogyrus africanus" have procurved foveae, and many spines on the labium. The cephalothorax is 12mm long and 9.4mm wide. It has some long, thick greyish-yellow hairs. The abdomen is 15mm long and 10mm wide. It is black, with long grey hairs. "Selenogyrus africanus" was originally described as "Hapalopus africanus" by Eugène Simon in 1889, but Reginald Innes Pocock, in 1897, recognized that it had all the characteristics of "Selenogyrus" and placed it in that genus.
