In Europe, badgers (Meles meles) are recognized as major tuberculosis (TB) reservoir hosts with the potential to transmit infection associated cattle herds. Recent studies in Spain have demonstrated that vaccination a heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis vaccine (HIMB) successfully protects captive wild boar and red deer against progressive disease. The aim of this study was evaluate efficacy two oral vaccines TB badger model: live-attenuated M. bacillus Calmette-Guérin BCG (Danish strain)...
Yersiniosis is a zoonosis widely distributed in Europe and swine carry different serotypes of Yersinia enterocolitica Y. pseudotuberculosis. The aim this study was to determine the prevalence pseudotuberculosis wild boars northern Spain. blood (n = 505) sampled between 2001 2012. Seroprevalence determined 490 serum samples with an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Seventy-two animals were also examined for presence or tonsils real-time polymerase chain reaction. All analysed twice,...
Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and environment are scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival transmission under laboratory conditions through mathematical modelling. However, more integrated studies performed field required to validate these results. In this study, we combined information bird community, environmental factors epidemiology assess contribution of biotic abiotic in occurrence low pathogenic AIV Spanish...
Animal tuberculosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused principally by Mycobacterium bovis, member of the complex (MTC). In southern Iberian Peninsula, wild reservoirs such as boar, among other factors, have prevented eradication bovine tuberculosis. However, most studies been focused on south-central Spain, where prevalence high ungulates and cattle herds. northern regions, boar density are lower, fewer carried out role this species still under debate. The aim study was to describe...
The H5N1 strain of avian influenza virus has been involved in severe mortality domestic poultry, and also found different species wildlife Europe. Basque Country surveillance program began sample collection processing the fall 2005.Here we report first confirmation presence highly pathogenic a Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) dead pond near Vitoria on North Spain. Regarding survey for generic type A virus, have obtained positive results about 8% more that 3500 birds examined.We think...
During 2007–2009 and 2012–2014, avian influenza virus (AIV) was studied in a wild community of northern Spanish wetland using non-invasive sampling methods host identification by COI barcoding. The aim this longitudinal study to evaluate AIV dynamics natural ecosystem, taking into account both virological aspects ecological traits hosts. Global prevalence decreased significantly during the second period (0.3%) compared first (6.6%). Circulating subtype distributions were also different...
ABSTRACT: A prospective study was conducted to assess the dynamics of infection and host response Anaplasma marginale in one closed herd dry tropical forest Costa Rica. The subjects were dams their calves born during 1 breeding season (1995‐1996). All cows sampled at 3 month intervals for antibody detection using a competitive ELISA (cELISA) antigen PCR/nonradioactive probe assay. 24 individually identified birth subsequently each PCR cELISA. Ticks from all animals throughout entire period....
Wild birds often harbor infectious microorganisms. Some of these microorganisms may present a risk to domestic animals and humans through spillover events. Detections certain have been shown increase host susceptibility infections by other microorganisms, leading coinfections altered host-to-host transmission patterns. However, little is known about the frequency its impact on wild bird populations. In order verify whether avian influenza virus (AIV) natural infection in waterbirds was...
