Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (ARs) can be critical for carnivores, due to their widespread use and impacts. However, although many studies explored the impacts of ARs on small mesocarnivores, none assessed extent which they could contaminate large carnivores in anthropized landscapes. We filled this gap by exploring spatiotemporal trends grey wolf (Canis lupus) exposure central northern Italy, subjecting a sample dead wolves (n = 186) LC-MS/MS method. Most 115/186, 61.8 %)...
Plastic marine litter is a critical issue that threatens ecosystems. This study investigated microplastics (MPs) contamination in the Italian seas, involving regions significantly affected by pollution from urban, industrial and agricultural sources. The research, conducted collaborations between 10 different Experimental Zooprophylactic Institutes throughout Italy, analyzed Mytilus galloprovincialis (common mussels) for its filtration capacity suitability as bioindicator. Using data two...
We report here on an outbreak of mastitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B Streptococcus, in a northern Italy (Lombardy Region) free stall dairy farm. This was unusual because it occurred closed herd and proved to be extremely difficult resolve even after the application classical control procedures, which are specifically focused contagious nature S. agalactiae. In order better understand potential origins pathogen critical points that could impair eradication program...
Paratuberculosis is a notable infectious disease of ruminants. Goats appear to be particularly susceptible. The survey aimed investigate the spread paratuberculosis in Italian goat farming and evaluate whether presence could influenced by welfare biosecurity deficiencies. A serological for 33 dairy farms northern Italy was conducted. Contextually, animal were assessed, using standardized protocol 36 indicators 15 which assigns each farm score from 0 (any application) 100% (full application)....
In recent years, the growth of wild ungulates has increased focus on their health monitoring. particular, status boars is relevant for economic impact pig industry. The Emilia-Romagna region activated a wildlife monitoring plan to better evaluate boar population. Between 2011 and 2021, samples found dead hunted have been examined trichinellosis, tuberculosis, brucellosis, african swine fever, classical Aujeszky’s disease, vesicular influenza A. Trichinella britovi was identified in 0.001%...
Abstract Background Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC), that can be found in wide variety of household products–from disinfectants to medicaments and home fragrances–but also professional products. In pets, cats have long been reported as more sensitive than dogs QACs; fact, signs irritation such oral ulcerations, stomatitis pharyngitis observed after contact with concentrations 2% or lower. review 245 cases BAC exposure cats, by the Veterinary Poisons...
Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (ARs) can be particularly critical for large carnivores, due to their widespread use and time-delayed impacts on populations. While many studies explored the of ARs small mesocarnivores, no study extent which they could contaminate carnivores in anthropized landscapes Europe.We filled this gap by exploring spatiotemporal trends grey wolf (Canis lupus) exposure central northern Italy, relying a dataset dead wolves (n = 186) tested with standardized...
The recent expansion of the habitat several wildlife species, comprising anthropized areas, is a relevant risk factor for many zoonotic diseases and should be considered in national regional sanitary monitoring systems. We evaluated adult intestinal Taenia spp. parasites isolated from wild carnivores cystic larval forms mammals analysed at Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Lombardia ed Emilia-Romagna (IZSLER) as part surveillance plan. Then, we assessed parasite species through...
A systematic surveillance against influenza viruses (IAVs) in the Suidae population is essential, considering their role as IAV mixing vessels. However, viral circulation wild Sus scrofa species poorly investigated comparison to knowledge of infection dynamics domestic pigs. This study and genetic diversity boars' IAVs detected Emilia-Romagna region (2017-2022). total 4605 lung samples were screened via an M gene real-time RT-PCR for SwIAV; positive subtyped by multiplex RT-PCR, isolation...

Abstract Background Sea turtles are well recognized sentinels of marine environment as carrier pathogens and contaminants. Chlamydial species have been described in reptiles, but scarce data regarding sea available literature (Pace et al., 2022). Hitherto, only one case listeriosis has reptiles (Di Renzo This study reports the detection Chlamydia Listeria monocytogenes loggerhead (Caretta caretta), suggesting role these animals carriers potential zoonotic agents. Methods In 2022, a total 11...
