Potomac Horse Fever
Potomac Horse Fever (PHF) is a potentially-fatal febrile illness affecting horses caused by the intracellular bacterium '' Neorickettsia risticii''. PHF is also known as Shasta River Crud and Equine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis. It was first described in areas surrounding the Potomac River northwest of Washington, D.C., in the 1980s, but cases have been described in many other parts of the United States, such as Minnesota, California, and Pennsylvania. Currently, it is found in more than 40 U.S. states and Canada.Pascoa, Elaine. "PHF Prevention." ''Practical Horseman'' July 2008: 60-66. Cause The causative agent of PHF is ''Neorickettsia risticii'' (formerly ''Ehrlichia risticii''), an intracellular rickettsial bacterium. Transmission The vector of ''Neorickettsia risticii'' is believed to be a trematode (fluke). The life cycle of the fluke takes it through freshwater snails and back into water, where it is ingested by the larval stages of several aquatic insects, including cadd ...

1345 Potomac
1345 Potomac (), provisional designation , is a dark Hildian asteroid from the outermost regions of the asteroid belt, approximately in diameter. It was discovered on 4 February 1908, by American astronomer Joel Metcalf at the Taunton Observatory in Massachusetts, United States. The X-type asteroid has a rotation period of 11.4 hours. It was named for the Potomac River on which Washington, D.C. is located. Orbit and classification ''Potomac'' is member of the dynamical Hilda group, which stays in 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter. It is, however, not a member of the Hilda family but a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the Hierarchical Clustering Method to its proper orbital elements. It orbits the Sun in the outermost asteroid belt at a distance of 3.3–4.7 AU once every 7 years and 12 months (2,910 days; semi-major axis of 3.99 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.18 and an inclination of 11 ° with respect to t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Army Of The Potomac
The Army of the Potomac was the principal Union Army in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War. It was created in July 1861 shortly after the First Battle of Bull Run and was disbanded in June 1865 following the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in April. History The Army of the Potomac was created in 1861 but was then only the size of a corps (relative to the size of Union armies later in the war). Its nucleus was called the Army of Northeastern Virginia, under Brig. Gen. Irvin McDowell, and it was the army that fought (and lost) the war's first major battle, the First Battle of Bull Run. The arrival in Washington, D.C., of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan dramatically changed the makeup of that army. McClellan's original assignment was to command the Division of the Potomac, which included the Department of Northeast Virginia under McDowell and the Department of Washington under Brig. Gen. Joseph K. Mansfield. On July 26, 1861, the Department of the S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
