The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance patterns against selected critically and highly important antibiotics (quinupristin/dalfopristin, vancomycin, linezolid) in 48 Enterococcus isolates obtained from wild (red deer Apennine chamois) domestic (cattle, sheep, goats) ruminants living with varying degrees sympatry protected area Maiella National Park (central Italy). According CLSI breakpoints, 9 out (18.8%) showed at least one antibiotic. One chamois isolate resistant all tested...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern that has been linked to humans, animals, and the environment. The One Health approach highlights connection between environment suggests multidisciplinary approached be used in studies investigating AMR. present study was carried out identify characterize antimicrobial profiles of bacteria isolated from wildlife livestock feces as well surface water samples Maiella National Park, Italy. Ecological georeferenced data were select two...
Seminatural grasslands are among the most threatened habitats in Europe and worldwide, mainly due to changes in/abandonment of their traditional extensive use by grazing animals. This study aimed develop an innovative model that integrates plant biodiversity, animal husbandry, geo-informatics manage preserve seminatural protected areas. With this objective, integrated was conducted on hilly, montane, (to a minimum extent) subalpine belts Maiella National Park, one Europe’s biodiversity-rich...
The Apennine wolf (Canis lupus italicus) is a subspecies of gray that widespread throughout Italy. Due to hunting and habitat loss, their population declined dramatically in the late 19th early 20th centuries, but conservation efforts improved restore species an estimated 3300 individuals. presence antibiotic-resistant bacteria Wolf may pose risk its health survival, as well other animals environment. In this study, we investigated antibiotic resistance profiles collected from wolves...
This article reports the results of a copromicroscopic and molecular investigation carried out on faecal samples wolves (n=37) brown bears (n=80) collected in two protected national parks central Italy (Abruzzo Region). Twenty-three (62.2%) from were positive for parasite eggs. Eight (34.78%) scored single infections, i.e. E. aerophilus (21.74%), Ancylostoma/Uncinaria (4.34%), Trichuris vulpis T. canis (4.34%). Polyspecific infections found 15 (65.21%), these being most frequent association:...
This study aimed to provide new insights about antimicrobial resistance genes abundance and microbial communities of wild domestic ruminants in wildlife-livestock interface. In total, 88 fecal samples were recovered from Apennine chamois, red deer, goat, cattle sheep, collected pools. The populations under selected based on ecological data useful define sympatric non-sympatric populations. Samples screened for commonly used farms or critically important (aadA2, TetA, TetB, TetK, TetM,...
This pilot study provides a multidisciplinary investigation to monitor livestock-wildlife interface. Ecological data, microbiological investigations, and whole genome sequencing were used characterize eight bacterial isolates obtained from sympatric domestic wild ruminants in Maiella National Park (Italy) terms of genetic patterns antimicrobial resistance.Using selective culturing fresh fecal samples monitored georeferenced populations Apennine chamois, goats, red deer, sheep, Escherichia...
The aim of this study was to determine and characterize potential resistance mechanisms against selected Critically Important Antibiotics in Escherichia coli isolates collected from wild domestic ruminants living the Maiella National Park, Central Italy. A total 38 were obtained red deer, Apennine chamois, cattle, sheep, goats grazing lands with different levels anthropic pressure. Antimicrobial susceptibility determined by Minimal Inhibitory Concentration testing, showing phenotypic...
Canine distemper is a contagious infectious disease, caused by canine virus (CDV) belonging to Morbillivirus genus, Paramyxoviridae family, representing serious threat for domestic and wild carnivores [...]
The Apennine chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata) is one of the rarest subspecies in Italy, listed Annexes II and IV Habitats Directive currently included as a vulnerable International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) Red List. Maiella National Park population has recently been defined source reintroduction into other parks. Since collective captures allow better selection target animals establishment new colonies, aim this study to evaluate physiological conditions animal welfare...
