Between the years 2000 and 2004, 93,107 sera from 1,997 pig herds in 11 regions of Croatia were tested for presence antibodies against brucellosis. Positive results observed 67 seven (mean individual prevalence: approximately 1%; herd 3.4%). The all but two infected farms reared outdoors thus almost certainly came into contact with wildlife. From 2003 to 424 sera, which randomly collected hunted wild boar (Sus scrofa), also shown have a mean seroprevalence 27.6%. Brucella was isolated 88 out...
This review paper briefly overviews various methods used to detect and identify Salmonella, a common foodborne zoonotic pathogen in veterinary medicine. Salmonella bacteria is mainly found food products and, when ingested, causes severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Due the ongoing presence of pathogenic production systems, it poses serious public health threat. Therefore, constant need remains enhance identification detection capable identifying this preventing outbreaks. The conventional...
Brucellosis is a ubiquitous emergent bacterial zoonotic disease causing significant human morbidity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. So far, high rate of resistant Brucella has been found worldwide. This study prospectively analysed the rates resistance among melitensis strains isolated Herzegovina.This included 108 B. isolates from 209 patients diagnosed at five medical centres The profiles for 13 most commonly used antimicrobials were studied standard broth (BB) cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton...
Ferrets are highly susceptible to a wide range of mycobacteria, mainly M. bovis, avium, and triplex. Therefore, ferrets pose risk transmission mycobacteriosis, especially zoonotically relevant tuberculosis. The aim this study was describe the findings xenopi mycobacteriosis in pet ferret emphasize its zoonotic potential. A had history weight loss, apathy, hyporexia, hair loss. Abdominal ultrasound revealed splenomegaly with two solid masses cystic lesions liver. Fine-needle aspiration...
AimTo present the surveillance data on Brucella melitensis, B. suis, and ovis infection in cattle, sheep, goats, swine Croatia obtained 2008 by serological, bacteriological, molecular methods for diagnostics of brucellosis domestic animals.MethodsWe serologically tested 42 785 cattle serums, 22 686 sheep goat 28 520 serums using Rose Bengal test, complement fixation various immunosorbent assays. We also 10 173 ram blood samples test. Bacteriological examination was conducted 214 collected...
During a five-year period (2000 to 2004) 74,342 pigs were tested by the intradermal tuberculin test in Croatia. Of them, 248 (0.33%) positive and 91 (0.12%) found be suspicious 7 out of 13 farms included study. Gross pathological changes characteristic tuberculosis observed tuberculin-positive and/or swine. Mycobacterium was isolated from lymph nodes 183 234 swine (78.2%). For better epidemiological understanding, isolates typed conventional methods, PCR hybridisation. The results show that...
<p><strong>Objective. </strong>The aim of this study was to evaluate an ongoing outbreak brucellosis in southern region Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) on the epidemiological, clinical molecular level.</p><p><strong>Patients methods. </strong>This included 19 patients affected by between 2015 2017, Trebiševo (BIH). Out patients, 16 were admitted treated at Department Infectious diseases University Clinical Hospital Mostar, while three ambulatory care...
Rapid-growth mycobacteria were isolated from two cases of cow mastitis with similar clinical appearance and within a narrow time frame. Mycobacteria on blood esculine agar. The Gram stained, Ziehl-Nielsen stained tested for growth at 25°C, 37°C 42°C, iron uptake, Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) agar without 5% NaCl, arylsulphatase (3 days), tween 80 hydrolysis, tellurite reduction, nitrate reductase niacin synthesis. Molecular identification was performed using the GenoType CM AS tests (Hain...
During the years 2001 and 2002 on seven localities in Croatiaa survey prevalence of brucellosis wild boar was carried out. The included 271 (52.7%) female 243 (47.3%) male animals between 7 months 4 age weighing from 14 to 135 kg. On that occasion 514 blood samples were serologically analysed. For serological analysis indirect enzyme immunoassay (iELISA), Rose Bengal test (RBT), complement fixation (CFT) slow agglutination (SAT) used. In all investigated positive reactions established. Most...
In total the samples of blood and kidneys 379 small rodents 154 wild swine were analysed. The antibodies to different serovars leptospires determined in 12.7% rodents, most often species Mus musculus (34.4%), A. agrestis (14.8%), flavicolis (10.8%), C. glareolus (9.4%) sylvaticus (6.5%). Most frequent findings sv. pomona (27.1%), sejroe (20.8%), australis (14.6%), hardjo, saxkoebing, tarassovi, grippotyphosa, bataviae icterohaemorrhagiae also established. Seventeen (4.5%) isolates...
Summary The aim of the study was to give an account epidemic abortions in sheep caused by Salmonella enterica ssp. serovar Abortusovis, which occurred Dalmatia, south Croatia, winter 2003–2004. Five flocks with rate abortion ranging from 22% 38% during last‐third gestation were examined. Abortusovis isolated 13 vaginal smears and two fetuses. Direct inoculation found be superior pre‐enrichment enrichment selective broth for isolation. isolates biochemically identified, characterized...
Bacillus anthracis can infect both livestock and humans. The importance of the treatment disease in humans has been underscored by bioterrorism events 2001 United States. presence PA B/C genes (pX01 pX02 plasmids) as well susceptibility to several antimicrobial substances was determined 11 strains isolated during two recent epizooties anthrax which occurred Croatia 2002 among sheep 2006/2007 cattle. pX01 plasmid observed all examined strains, including vaccinal Sterne strains. However,...
Abstract In March 2022, an outbreak of Q fever ( Coxiella burnetii ) with non‐occupational exposure was confirmed in a semi‐urban area Čavle, Croatia. Veterinary and human epidemiological investigations were conducted to identify the source implement appropriate control measures. Three farms settled next each other near homes first cases at end street. The closest farm less than 500 meters away. These contained 161 adult sheep goats. Among animal samples analysed, all 16 goats (100%) 24/50...
Abstract Background Cats are the primary reservoirs of bacterium Bartonella henselae , main cause cat-scratch disease in humans. The vector is cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis . In southeastern Europe, data lacking on prevalence B. infection cats, strains involved and risk factors associated with infection. Methods Blood samples collected ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-containing tubes from 189 domestic cats (156 pet 33 stray cats) Zagreb, capital city Croatia, 10 counties throughout Croatia...

Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax disease, is a worldwide threat to livestock, wildlife and public health. It also considered one most important pathogens bioterrorism. Rapid reliable diagnosis administration antimicrobials are essential for effective treatment. In this study, we determined in vitro susceptibilities 40 isolates B. anthracis isolated Croatia over recent two decades 18 antimicrobials. Whole-genome sequencing was performed, bioinformatics tools were used...
