The aim of this study was molecular identification Cryptosporidium species and assessment their prevalence in different breeds sheep goat reared Poland. In addition, the relationship between animal age, breed type, frequency infections determined. Fecal samples from 234 lambs 105 kids aged up to 9 weeks, representing 24 cross-breeds were collected 71 small ruminant farms across performed at 18 SSU ribosomal RNA (rRNA) COWP loci followed by subtyping C. parvum hominis strains GP60 gene locus....
In the literature, there is absent or weak evidence on effectiveness of biosecurity measures to control Salmonella spp. and hepatitis E virus (HEV) pig farms. Therefore, present study aimed collect, weigh, compare opinions from experts relevance several measures. An online questionnaire was submitted selected experts, multiple European countries, knowledgeable either HEV spp., in indoor outdoor farming systems (settings). The ranked eight categories with regards reducing two pathogens...
Abstract Background Implementation of clinical metagenomics and pathogen genomic surveillance can be particularly challenging due to the lack bioinformatics tools and/or expertise. In order face this challenge, we have previously developed INSaFLU, a free web-based platform for virus next-generation sequencing data analysis. Here, considerably expanded its component new module (TELEVIR) metagenomic identification. Results The routine was strengthened with workflows functionalities, including...
Aims: To study the pulsed ultraviolet (UV) inactivation of poliovirus and adenovirus. Methods Results: Viral suspensions 2 ml volume were exposed to varying numbers polychromatic light pulses emitted from a xenon flashlamp. Ten produced an approximately 4 log10 reduction in titre, no infectious remained after 25 pulses. With adenovirus, 10 resulted 1 infectivity. Adenovirus required 100 produce 3 infectivity, 200 greater than reduction. Conclusions: was more resistant UV treatment although...
The most important wildlife species in the epidemiology of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections are wild boars, which also main reservoir a sylvatic environment. aim study was serological and molecular assessment prevalence HEV boars Poland. In total, 470 pairs samples (wild boar blood livers) 433 faeces were tested. An ELISA (ID.vet, France) used for analysis. For detection RNA, real-time (RT)-qPCR employed. presence specific anti-HEV IgG antibodies found 232 (49.4%; 95%CI: 44.7–54%) sera,...
Abstract Pig’s blood and liver are valuable edible slaughter by-products which also the major ingredients of offal-derived foodstuffs. The aim study was an evaluation occurrence hepatitis E virus (HEV) porcine adenovirus (pAdV) as index faecal contamination in pig’s for human consumption. In total, 246 samples retail ( n = 100) pooled 146) were analysed presence HEV pAdV. Blood individually collected from 1432 pigs at age. Viral genomic material, including RNA a sample process control...
Cryptosporidium intestinal parasites have been detected in farmed pigs worldwide. Infections are usually asymptomatic with a low number of oocysts shed pig feces. This makes the recognition infection difficult or unsuccessful when microscopic methods used. The aim this study was molecular identification species herds raised Poland regard to occurrence zoonotic species. In total, 166 fecal samples were tested. examined aged 1 20 weeks. Overall, 39 farms monitored for parasite presence....
