Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a lagovirus that can cause fatal hepatitis (rabbit disease, RHD) with mortality of 80–90% in farmed and wild rabbits. Since 1986, RHDV has caused outbreaks rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) Europe, but never European brown hares (Lepus europaeus, EBH). In 2010, new RHDV-related virus, called RHDV2, emerged causing extended epidemics because it largely overcame the immunity to present most rabbit populations. RHDV2 also was identified Cape hare...
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) prevalence has been minimally investigated in wild boar; dynamics of infection and viral tissue distribution are currently unknown. In this study, serum samples from 518 boar (from years 2004 to 2018) were used study frequency infection. Also, 19 captured recaptured at least two times for a period time 1 month year collected determine PCV-3 dynamics. Finally, elucidate DNA organic distribution, sera, different tissues faeces obtained 35 additional boar. was...
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic intracellular protozoan parasite of worldwide distribution that infects many species warm-blooded animals, including birds. To date, there scant information about the seropositivity T. and risk factors associated with infection in wild bird populations. In present study, was evaluated on sera obtained from 1079 birds belonging to 56 (including Falconiformes (n = 610), Strigiformes 260), Ciconiiformes 156), Gruiformes 21), other orders 32), different areas...
Seroprevalences of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies were assessed with the use a commercial indirect ELISA in 1,501 domestic ruminants southern Spain. Antibodies against T. detected 420 (83.3%) 504 cattle, 248 (49.3%) 503 sheep, and 124 (25.1%) 494 goats. The herd seroprevalence was 100% (72/72), 84.7% (61/72), 72.2% (52/72) for goats, respectively. Seropositivity significantly higher herds low density animals (P < 0.001). Significant differences 0.05) among municipalities also found. observed...
This study aimed to provide information regarding viral pathogenesis and molecular epidemiology linked with recently reported atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) strains determine the circulation of APPV in Spain from 1997 2016. Two-day-old piglets moderate-severe congenital tremor (CT) a Spanish farm were received for diagnostic purposes. Sera, nasal rectal swabs tissue samples collected. qRT-PCR was performed these samples, retrospective detect RNA carried out using serum collection genome...

Fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis was diagnosed in a Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus) dam and its fetus on the basis of pathologic findings, immunohistochemistry, structure parasite. The stranded alive Spanish Mediterranean coast died few hours later. At necropsy good condition. From standpoint pathology, however, it had generalized lymphadenomegaly splenomegaly, enlargement multifocal hemorrhage adrenal glands, diffuse mucosal glandular pyloric stomach, ulcerative glossitis stomatitis,...
In the recent past, peste des petits ruminants (PPR) emerged in East Africa causing outbreaks small livestock across different countries, with evidences of spillover to wildlife. order understand better PPR at wildlife–livestock interface, we investigated patterns virus (PPRV) exposure, disease outbreaks, and viral sequences northern Albertine Rift. PPRV antibodies indicated a widespread exposure apparently healthy wildlife from South Sudan (2013) Uganda (2015, 2017). African buffaloes kobs...
Leishmania infantum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite distributed worldwide that transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. Dogs are the main reservoir for human infections. However, in recent years, capacity of lagomorphs to contribute transmission has been confirmed. The present study aimed assess spp. exposure and infection sympatric domestic dogs NE Spain. Sera from European hares, rabbits, rural were tested antibodies against L. using an in-house indirect ELISA. PCR analysis targeting was...
Abstract Peccaries (collared peccary—CP—and white-lipped peccary—WLP) are an essential source of protein and income for rural communities in the Amazon region. Since 1980s, researchers have reported recurrent local disappearances WLP populations. Although such impact species conservation food security societies, no studies drawn consistent conclusions about causes these population collapses. However, it has recently been proposed that overabundance this before its decline would be related to...
<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Hyalomma marginatum</italic> is a hard tick vector of various pathogens, including Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic fever virus, recently detected in French specimens. This species has wide distribution from North Africa to Eastern Europe and only been considered established Southern France. These changes led us explore the genetic structure populations Mediterranean basin attempt infer origin populations. We used two mitochondrial markers (12S rRNA Cytochrome...
