Abstract Biological invasions by exotic species impose substantial ecological, economic and social costs worldwide, being a major threat to biodiversity conservation. Because not all individuals introduced in the new environments become successful invaders, identification of factors underlying variation invasion success would be essential for evaluating risk. Here, we test several host–parasite hypotheses accounting house sparrows Passer domesticus Peru. According Enemy Release Hypothesi s,...

Birds secrete preen oil from the uropygial (preen) gland which is used to maintain feather integrity and communicate through odour. The secretion believed influence host attractiveness biting insects, thereby altering risk of infection by vector‐transmitted blood parasites. Previous studies have documented a presence bacteria in secretion; however, microbial community still largely unknown. In addition, we no information yet as whether there are any associations between these microbes...

Abstract Aim The increasing spread of vector‐borne diseases has resulted in severe health concerns for humans, domestic animals and wildlife, with changes land use the introduction invasive species being among main possible causes this increase. We explored several ecological drivers potentially affecting local prevalence richness avian malaria parasite lineages native introduced house sparrows ( Passer domesticus ) populations. Location Global. Time period 2002–2019. Major taxa studied...

Characterizing the diversity and structure of host-parasite communities is crucial to understanding their eco-evolutionary dynamics. Malaria related haemosporidian parasites are responsible for fitness loss mortality in bird species worldwide. However, despite exhibiting greatest ornithological biodiversity, avian haemosporidians from Neotropical regions quite unexplored. Here, we analyze genetic (Plasmodium Haemoproteus) 1,336 individuals belonging 206 explore differences parasite lineages...

Established antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in companion animals is lacking, particularly low-middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to analyze AMR and its risk factors Escherichia coli isolated from dogs at two veterinary centers Lima (Peru). Ninety were included the study. Antimicrobial susceptibility established by disk diffusion, whereas microdilution used determine colistin susceptibility. Mechanisms related extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) determined...

Abstract Acinetobacter spp. are often isolated from natural sources, but knowledge about their presence in wild animals is fragmented and uncomplete. The present study aimed to characterize a series of radioresistens Humboldt penguins ( Spheniscus humboldti ). Fifteen an inhabited northern Peruvian island were sampled. Microorganisms identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Antibiotic susceptibility 12 antimicrobial agents was established, clonal relationships determined. A representative isolate...

The presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in feces 42 Peruvian Boobies (Sula variegata) from a Northern Peru island was evaluated using MicroScan and disk diffusion. Fourteen microorganisms were recovered, including three Pseudomonas spp. resistant to one antibiotic each, four multiresistant Escherichia coli. Antimicrobial-resistant are reported S. variegata.

During a survey in wetlands from southern Lima, Peru, two non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae isolates were obtained samples collected an American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) and Wren-like Rushbird (Phleocryptes melanops). was identified by amplification sequencing of 16S rRNA, differentially grown on CHROMagar media, confirmed ompW amplification. Isolates to be serotypes lack the ctxA gene as inferred using PCR. Susceptibility eight antimicrobial agents assessed, with one isolate being...

Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem worldwide. While the most visible aspect direct effect of antimicrobial in clinical settings, this affects all microorganisms environments. Nevertheless, data available on antibiotic outside settings are from high-income countries, with current situation low- and middle-income countries remaining under-reported. Escherichia coli considered good marker “antibiotic pressure” due to its cosmopolitan distribution. In scenario, we selected E. as an...
