We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Animal trypanosomiasis — The entry states that T. simiae is a cause of animal trypanosomiasis in livestock such as cattle, but T. simiae primarily infects pigs and is not a significant cause of disease in cattle.
Animal trypanosomiasis — The entry claims that the disease is also present in South America (T. vivax), but the entry's primary vector is listed as tsetse flies without clarifying that tsetse flies are not found in South America and transmission there is mechanical by biting flies.
Annual ryegrass toxicity — The claim that the disease has spread to 'similar areas' in South Australia as in Western Australia is inaccurate; South Australia's infested area is much smaller (around 2,000–3,000 square kilometres) compared to Western Australia's 40,000–60,000 square kilom
Annual ryegrass toxicity — The statement that the twist fungus was introduced as a biological control agent in 1997 is incorrect; the first commercial release occurred in 1998.
Babesia divergens — The claim that Babesia divergens is the most common cause of human babesiosis is incorrect; Babesia microti is the most common cause globally and in the United States.
Babesia divergens — The claim that B. divergens is found in cottontail rabbits on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, with infection rates of 11-23% is incorrect; the parasite associated with those rabbits is Babesia microti, not Babesia divergens.
Bovine herpesvirus 4 — The claim that vaccines exist in the USA but are not widely used is factually incorrect, as there is no widely recognized commercial vaccine for BoHV-4 approved for use in the USA.
Bovine leukemia virus — The entry lists 'capybaras' as primary hosts for BLV; capybaras are not established primary hosts in widely-known veterinary literature—BLV primarily infects cattle and water buffalo, with capybaras not being a recognized natural host.
Bovine leukemia virus — The entry lists 'Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles freeborni, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, Anopheles stephensi' as vectors; these mosquito species are not established vectors for BLV in standard references—BLV transmission by insects is primarily associated with bi
Bovine viral diarrhea — The genus is incorrectly listed as 'Orthopestivirus' and the family as 'Pestiviridae'; the correct classification is genus Pestivirus, family Flaviviridae.
Bovine viral diarrhea — The statement that BVDV-2 represents up to 11% of cases in Europe and 50% in North America is not supported by established canon; typical figures for Europe are lower (often <5%) and the 50% figure for North America is outdated or exaggerated.
Buffalopox — The incubation period for animals is stated as 2–4 days, but established sources typically report an incubation period of 3–7 days for buffaloes.
Cache Valley virus — The small segment of Cache Valley virus uses overlapping reading frames to produce N and NSs, not alternative start sites from a single ORF.
Cache Valley virus — Culicoides midges are not recognized as significant vectors for Cache Valley virus; it is primarily mosquito-borne.
