Abstract. This paper deals with the risk assessment to alluvial fan flooding at piedmont zone of carbonate massifs southern Apennines chain (southern Italy). These areas are prime spots for urban development and generally considered be safer than valley floors. As a result, villages towns have been built on fans which, during intense storms, may affected by and/or debris flow processes. The study area is located foothills Maddalena mountains, an elongated NW-SE trending ridge which bounds...
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent against hematogenous and solid tumors with undesirable side effects including immunosuppression. Quercetin (QUR), natural flavonoid abundant in fruits vegetables, has potent antioxidant activity. The aim of the current study was to assess impact QUR on DOX-induced hematological immunological dysfunctions rodent model. Randomly grouped rats were treated as follows: control, alone (50 mg/kg for 15 days per os), DOX (2.5 I/P, three times week, two...
Avian malaria, a vector-borne disease caused by Plasmodium spp., poses significant threats to various bird populations, particularly captive penguins like the endangered African penguin (Spheniscus demersus). Penguins, originating from regions with low malaria prevalence, are highly susceptible when housed in malaria-permissive areas. This study evaluates efficacy of an atovaquone/proguanil hydrochloride treatment protocol manage avian colony Italian zoo. The involved 30 monitored over 3...
Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health concern with profound implications for human, animal, and environmental health. Marine ecosystems are emerging as reservoirs of resistant bacteria due to contamination from anthropogenic activities. This study aimed investigate fluoroquinolone-resistant multidrug-resistant in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Methods: Cloacal swabs were collected 28 at rescue center southern Italy. Swabs cultured nutrient...
ABSTRACT The flooding susceptibility of alluvial fans in the Southern Apennines has long been neglected. To partly address this oversight, we focus on region Campania which contains highly urbanized piedmont areas particularly vulnerable to flooding. Our findings are based stratigraphic analysis and morphometric basin‐fan systems. Using geomorphological recognized active while together with statistical variables was used classify terms transport process involved. results indicate that...
Data on reptile analgesia are scarce for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids almost completely lacking in sea turtles, even though emergencies requiring correct pain management very frequent their rehabilitative medicine; therefore, dosage regimens extrapolated from other species involve the risk of clinical failure damage to animals. We describe pharmacokinetic behavior meloxicam loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). chose because its selective anti-cyclooxygenase-2...
After the 6 April, 2009 normal faulting L'Aquila earthquake (Mw 6.3), attention of many scientists was drawn to Abruzzo Apennines. Until that time few studies had addressed geomorphological and morphotectonic features this area none extensive mapping.
We report the surgical techniques used to remove accidentally ingested hooks and branchlines localized in different parts of digestive tract 129 loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta, together with characteristics localization lesions, final outcome related their severity. Hooks were removed from cervical esophagus via ventral surface neck, while supraplastron approach was performed for wedged intracoelomic portion esophagus. An through left axillary region preferred fishhooks stomach, long...
This study provided a preliminary framework for the effects of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil (EO) on sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) health status over 60-day feeding trial. Fish were fed twice day until apparent satiety with three different diets: control diet (CD), and two experimental diets supplemented 100 (D100) 200 (D200) ppm oregano EO. No mortality was observed in each treatment. Feeding D100 resulted high growth performances better food conversion protein efficiency ratios....
The present study investigated the protective efficacy of dietary supplementation with clove essential oil (CEO), its main constituent eugenol (EUG), and their nanoformulated emulsions (Nano-CEO Nano-EUG) against experimental coccidiosis in broiler chickens. To this aim, various parameters (oocyst number per gram excreta (OPG), daily weight gain (DWG), feed intake (DFI), conversion ratio (FCR), serum concentrations total proteins (TP), albumin (ALB), globulins (GLB), triglycerides (TG),...
Nanotechnology has gained tremendous attention because of its crucial characteristics and wide biomedical applications. Although zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are involved in many industrial applications, researchers pay more to their toxic effects on living organisms. Since the olfactory epithelium is exposed external environment, it considered first organ affected by ZnO-NPs. Herein, we demonstrated cytotoxic effect ZnO-NPs adult zebrafish after 60 days post-treatment. We opted for...
Aspergillus section Nigri includes species of interest for animal and human health, although studies on distribution are limited to cases. Data the antifungal susceptibilities molecular mechanism triazole resistance in strains belonging this scant. Forty-two black from patients (16 isolates), animals (14 environment (12 isolates) were molecularly characterized their vitro investigated. tubingensis was isolated humans, animals, environmental settings, whereas awamori niger exclusively humans....
Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) has been documented as agent of ocular infection in domestic animals (dogs and cats), wildlife (e.g., foxes, hares, rabbits), humans. In the last two decades, this parasitosis increasingly reported several European countries. Both adult larval stages eyeworm are responsible for symptoms ranging from mild lacrimation, discharge, epiphora) to severe conjunctivitis, keratitis, corneal opacity or ulcers). The present study evaluated clinical efficacy...
A strain belonging to the genus Psychrobacter , named PraFG1 T was isolated from peritoneal effusion of a stray dog during necropsy procedures. The characterized by phylogenetic analyses based on nucleotide sequences 16S and 23S rRNA genes gyrB which placed in . sequence chromosome confirmed placement, showing an average identity 72.1, 77.7, 77.5 % with closest related species, namely sanguinis piechaudii phenylpyruvicus respectively, thus indicating novel species. polyphasic...
