Bien que l'origine de l'ESB chez les bovins ne soit toujours pas confirmée, l'épizootie au Royaume-Uni semble être attribuable à l'alimentation de ces animaux avec de la farine de viande et d’os(protéines de ruminants obtenues lors de l'équarrissage) contenant des tissus d’animaux atteints d’ESB depuis les années 70. 2, record 1, French, - enc%C3%A9phalopathie%20spongiforme%20bovine

La vibriose des poissons [...] est très répandue dans les stations d’aquaculture qui élèvent le turbot ou qui pratiquent l'élevage des Salmonidés en deux temps. Les symptômes de cette affection septicémique se développent rarement en eau douce, mais plus généralement après le passage en eau salée. Ils s’apparentent à ceux observés dans d’autres affections bactériennes propres aux piscicultures d’eau douce(Furonculose, yersiniose). La forme aiguë ou suraiguë est fréquente au début de l'épizootie : poissons enflés de couleur sombre, recouverts de taches hémorragiques surtout observées en partie péri-anale. 3, record 4, French, - vibriose
