Over the last two winters, there have been large-scale, unexplained losses of managed honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies in United States. In absence a known cause, this syndrome was named Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) because main trait rapid loss adult worker bees. We initiated descriptive epizootiological study order to better characterize CCD and compare risk factor exposure between populations afflicted by not CCD.Of 61 quantified variables (including physiology, pathogen loads,...
Bluetongue (BT) is a reportable disease of considerable socioeconomic concern and major importance in the international trade animals animal products. Before 1998, BT was considered an exotic Europe. From 1998 through 2005, at least 6 virus strains belonging to 5 serotypes (BTV-1, BTV-2, BTV-4, BTV-9, BTV-16) were continuously present Mediterranean Basin. Since August 2006, BTV-8 has caused severe epizootic northern The widespread recrudescence extension infections Europe during 2007 suggest...
Q fever is an ubiquitous zoonosis caused by resistant intracellular bacterium, Coxiella burnetii . In certain areas, can be a severe public health problem, and awareness of the disease must promoted worldwide. Nevertheless, knowledge remains limited to this day. Its (intracellular environmental) infectious properties have been poorly investigated. Further understanding interactions between infected host bacteria necessary. Domestic ruminants are considered as main reservoir bacteria....
Pathogens that are capable of infecting more than one host, taxonomic order and wild hosts, all present a higher relative risk (re-)emergence. A long environmental persistence gives pathogens selective advantage. In case an emerging or re-emerging zoonosis, the prevalence infection in animals exposure determine incidence humans. Human to zoonotic agents depends on lifestyle occupation (e.g., veterinarians farmers at for zoonoses related livestock). Efforts increase awareness, provide...
Colony collapse disorder (CCD), a syndrome whose defining trait is the rapid loss of adult worker honey bees, Apis mellifera L., thought to be responsible for minority large overwintering losses experienced by U.S. beekeepers since winter 2006-2007. Using same data set developed perform monofactorial analysis (PloS ONE 4: e6481, 2009), we conducted classification and regression tree (CART) in an attempt better understand relative importance interrelations among different risk variables...
The epidemiological link between brucellosis in wildlife and livestock people is widely recognised. When studying wildlife, three questions arise: (i) Is this the result of a spillover from or sustainable infection one more host species wildlife? (ii) Does represent reservoir Brucella strains for livestock? (iii) it zoonotic concern? Despite their different preferences, B. abortus suis have been isolated variety species, whereas melitensis rarely reported wildlife. pathogenesis spp....
Although Ixodes spp. are the most common ticks in North-Western Europe, recent reports indicated an expanding geographical distribution of Dermacentor reticulatus Western Europe. Recently, establishment a D. population Belgium was described. is important vector canine and equine babesiosis can transmit several Rickettsia species, Coxiella burnetii tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), whilst vectors pathogens causing babesiosis, borreliosis, anaplasmosis, rickettsiosis TBEV. A survey...
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies continue to experience high annual losses that remain poorly explained. Numerous interacting factors have been linked colony declines. Understanding the pathways linking pathophysiology with symptoms is an important step in understanding mechanisms of disease. In this study we examined specific pathologies associated honey bees collected from suffering Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and compared these apparently healthy colonies. We identified a set...
Vaccines form the cornerstone of any control, eradication and preventative strategy this is no different for lumpy skin disease. However, usefulness a vaccine determined by multiplicity factors which include stability, efficiency, safety ease use, to name few. Although vaccination campaign in Balkans against disease virus (LSDV) was successful has been implemented with success past other countries, data failure have also reported. It therefore purpose study compare five homologous live...
