Hemorrhagic septicemia 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 and B:3,4 have caused a septicaemic disease
Australopithecus africanus age of the Taung child remains more difficult to determine and is the focus of a current dating project. Australopithecus africanus Australopithecus africanus is an extinct ("fossil") species of the australopithecines, the first of an early ape-form species to be classified as hominin (in 1924). Recently it was dated as living between 3.3 and 2.1 million years ago, or in the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene times; it is debated as being a direct ancestor of modern humans. "A. africanus" was of slender, or gracile, build and has been found only in southern Africa at four sites: Taung (1924), Sterkfontein
