European-wide antimicrobial resistance monitoring in commensal Escherichia coli isolated from healthy food animals between 2004 and 2018
(Oxford University Press, 2022-10-07)
Objectives: To describe the susceptibility of Escherichia coli to medically important antibiotics, collected over four periods (2004-2006, 2008-2009, 2013-2014, 2017-2018), from food-producing animals ...
Persistence of low pathogenic avian influenza virus in artificial streams mimicking natural conditions of waterfowl habitats in the Mediterranean climate
(Elsevier, 2022-12-13)
Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) can affect wildlife, poultry, and humans, so a One Health perspective is needed to optimize mitigation strategies. Migratory waterfowl globally spread AIVs over long ...
Zoonotic Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. carried by wild boars in a metropolitan area: occurrence, antimicrobial susceptibility and public health relevance
(Elsevier, 2022-01-29)
Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. are the most reported zoonotic agents in Europe. They can be transmitted from wildlife to humans, and wild boars (Sus scrofa) can harbour them. In the Metropolitan ...
In a warm climate, ventilation, indoor temperature and outdoor relative humidity have significant effects on Campylobacter spp. colonization in chicken broiler farms which can occur in only 2 days
(Elsevier, 2022-08-28)
A longitudinal study was conducted in five conventional broiler farms during a 2-year period to determine the dynamics of Campylobacter infection in a warm climate region (north-eastern Spain). Weekly ...
Environmental detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in breed-to-wean farms
(Elsevier, 2022-02-05)
There is a need to develop cost-effective and non-invasive approaches to sample large populations to evaluate the disease status of breeding herds. In this study we assessed the detection of the M. ...
Clinical, imaging, and pathologic features in cases of neurologic disease in 3 psittacine birds
(SAGE Publications, 2022-05-21)
We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the CNS, and confirmed CNS lesions histologically, in 3 psittacine birds with neurologic signs. One bird was recumbent as a result of non-ambulatory ...
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 metabolite is reduced in diabetes
(Nature Research, 2022-05-09)
A glucose-like metabolite, which is reduced in the serum of diabetic patients, inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into key cellular targets. The work led by Cheng and colleagues provides a molecular ...
Characterization and cross-protection of experimental infections with SeCoV and two PEDV variants
(Wiley, 2022-08-02)
The aim of this study was to characterize the infection of weaned pigs with swine enteric coronavirus (SeCoV) -a chimeric virus most likely originated from a recombination event between porcine epidemic ...
P22 protein complex in the serodiagnosis of animal tuberculosis: Antigenic stability and cross-reactivity with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection
(Elsevier, 2022-10-07)
The P22 ELISA was recently developed for the serodiagnosis of animal tuberculosis. Herein, the stability of the P22 antigen in different presentations and storage conditions, and the cross-reactivity ...
Improving Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae diagnostic capabilities by harnessing the infection dynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-07-25)
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae remains one of the most problematic bacterial pathogens for pig production. Despite an abundance of observational and laboratory testing capabilities for this organism, diagnostic ...
