West Nile virus (WNV), a neurovirulent mosquito-transmissible zoonotic virus, has caused recent outbreaks in Europe, including Serbia from August until October 2012. Although humans can be infected, birds are the main natural WNV reservoir. To assess circulation northern Serbia, 133 wild were investigated. These comprised resident and migratory birds, collected between January September 2012 Vojvodina province. The belonged to 45 species within 27 families. Blood sera (n=92) pooled tissues...
West Nile virus (WNV), the most widely distributed flavivirus worldwide, has lately reemerged in Europe, causing worrisome outbreaks humans and horses. Serological analysis by enzyme-linked immunoassay plaque reduction neutralization test showed for first time Serbia that 12% of 349 horses presented specific neutralizing WNV antibodies, which one case also cross-neutralized Usutu (USUV). This is anti-USUV high antibody titers are reported All these data indicate USUV circulating region...
The Balkan donkey (Equus asinus asinus), an endangered and historically significant breed native to Serbia, is critically understudied in terms of its health physiology. As the population dwindles, a deeper understanding physiological parameters vital for developing tailored conservation strategies. This study evaluated hematological biochemical 70 clinically healthy donkeys across three age groups (Group A: 5-7 months, Group B: 12-14 C: 4–7 years) uncover age-related trends provide...
Abstract Infection of cattle with lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is very important from the aspect livestock production. Although it can cause significant economic losses, available serological assays are still not sufficiently efficient and reliable. A 3-day VNT was performed using Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cell line LSDV isolated clinically infected cow to improve diagnostics (LSD). In total, 325 sera samples were tested in order compare performances ELISA. Tested originated 125...
Some Staphylococcus aureus strains, identified as causative agents of mastitis in cattle, exhibit the ability producing a viscous extracellular polysaccharide layer (slime), which is nowadays considered to be virulence factor, it promotes bacterial adhesion onto mammary epithelial cells and protects bacteria from opsonization phagocytosis. strains this genus are believed exist form biofilm udder tissue, may partly explain frequent therapeutic failures chronic course infection. In study we...
Introduction: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is rarely reported in industrialized countries, but recent studies have revealed quite variable seroprevalence rates among European populations, including blood donors. In Serbia, very limited data about HEV are available. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anti-HEV IgG antibodies and RNA sera volunteer donors Serbia. Methodology: Serum samples from 200 were tested for presence by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using...
Studies conducted during the past few years have confirmed active West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Serbia. Based on these studies and epidemiological situation, Veterinary Directorate of Ministry Agriculture Environmental Protection launched national WNV surveillance programmes 2014 2015. The encompassed territory Serbia were by veterinary service collaboration with entomologists ornithologists. objective was early detection timely reporting to public health local authorities increase...
ABSTRACT The lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) isolate SERBIA/Bujanovac/2016 consists of 150,661 nucleotides and has a 99.95% nucleotide identity with the Neethling Warmbaths LW strain isolated in South Africa 1999. This is first complete LSDV genome determined Serbia also Balkan area.
ABSTRACT Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) causes a of economic importance affecting cattle. Its global epidemiology is complex due to the combination vector-borne and anthropogenic spread, circulation vaccine-like recombinants, use vaccines. The slow molecular evolution its DNA genome limits utility genetic variation for accurate tracing based on evolutionary analyses, but this limitation has not yet been formally assessed. Furthermore, until present, whole sequencing in affected areas...
Sheeppox (SPP), goatpox (GTP), and lumpy skin disease (LSD) are economically significant pox diseases of ruminants, caused by sheeppox virus (SPPV), (GTPV), (LSDV), respectively. SPPV GTPV can infect both sheep goats, while LSDV mainly affects cattle. The recent emergence LSD in Asia Europe the repeated incursions SPP Greece, Bulgaria, Russia highlight how these spread outside their endemic regions, stressing urgent need to develop high-throughput serological surveillance tools. We expressed...
Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a respiratory disease of poultry characterized by high morbidity and variable mortality. ILT caused Gallid alpha herpesvirus-1 (GaHV-1), which transmitted horizontally most susceptible are chickens older than 4 weeks. After almost two decades since last appearance this in Vojvodina, an outbreak occurred from April 2020 to August 2021 on five laying hen farms one broiler breeder flock farm. Clinical signs were mild severe symptoms, unilateral or bilateral...
Lyme disease is a tick borne zoonotic infection, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. bacteria. For the transmission of disease, presence ticks prerequisite. borreliosis mostly occurs in people and dogs, but it may occur other animals. Ticks which carry B. Serbia are Ixodes ricinus specis. In Serbia, was detected for first time late '80-es. clinical symptoms even months after bite, include weakness, lymphadenopathy, fever, lameness, arthritis, etc. our survey, we have observed dog populations...
Recent variants of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) were obtained from tissues domestic pigs with associated disease and randomly selected wild boar samples Serbia Slovenia. A 450-base-pair nucleotide sequence was by PCR the ORF2. The derived amino acid sequences aligned compared to corresponding region closely related PCV2 determined in previous years retrieved GenBank. 30 Serbian 17 Slovenian clustered into three previously genotypes (PCV2a: 7), (PCV2b: 38) (PCV2d: 2). Three major variable...
Summary Rabies is one of the oldest known zoonotic diseases that has significant impact on public health, but still remains neglected in Serbia. virus can infect humans and other mammals causes inflammation brain associated with encephalomyelitis neurological symptoms. In 2010, Veterinary Directorate (national Competent Authority for animal health Serbia) started multi‐annual project oral rabies vaccination foxes wild carnivores (e.g. jackals), as support long‐term programme eradication...
The results of the Serbian national integrated West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance program conducted in 2018 and funded by Veterinary Directorate are presented. WNV encompassed entire territory Serbia was veterinary service collaboration with entomologists ornithologists. objective early detection circulation environment timely reporting to public health local authorities increase clinical mosquito control preparedness. based on presence wild birds (natural hosts) mosquitoes (virus vectors)...
Abstract To implement effective lumpy skin disease (LSD) control measures, such as timely vaccination, particularly in calves and serological monitoring, it is necessary to evaluate immune response after both adult cattle their calves. The aim of this study was passive immunity transfer duration maternal antibodies against virus (LSDV) born vaccinated cows by two different methods. longitudinal carried out on farms Serbia where no cases were reported during LSD outbreak 2016. Fifteen each...
