Bartonellosis, caused by bacteria of the genus Bartonella, is a zoonotic disease with several mammalian reservoir hosts. In Somalia, country heavily reliant on livestock, diseases pose significant public health and economic challenges. To best our knowledge, no study has been performed aiming to verify occurrence Bartonella spp. in Somalia. This investigated molecular characterization dromedary (Camelus dromedarius, Linnaeus, 1758), cattle, sheep, goats from
Ehrlichioses, caused by Ehrlichia species, are tick-borne diseases (TBDs) that affect animals and humans worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the molecular occurrence of spp. in 530 (155 Dromedary camels, 199 goats, 131 cattle, 45 sheep) Benadir Lower Shabelle regions Somalia. Blood DNA samples were tested for PCR targeting dsb sodB genes PCS20 map1 E. ruminantium. The obtained sequences submitted phylogenetic analyses. detected 26.4% (140/530) dsb-PCR, with highest prevalence...
Abstract We amplified Ehrlichia and Anaplasma DNA from Amblyomma dubitatum tick–infested capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in southern Brazil. Sequencing of 16S rRNA, sodB, groEL indicated a novel species, sequencing rRNA 2 species. The tick vectors remain unknown.
ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of Leishmania spp., hemotropic Mycoplasma tick-borne pathogens (TBP), and co-infection in dogs with clinical signs suggestive visceral leishmaniasis (VL). It also determine factors associated infection map distribution co-infected an endemic area Northeast region Brazil. Blood samples from 168 were evaluated for serological analysis Anaplasma Ehrlichia Babesia molecular assays platys, canis, spp. In analysis, 29.8% 5.9%...
The Iguaçu National Park (INP) is the largest remnant of Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil, representing an ecological continuum with Argentina. INP harbours a diverse fauna, ring-tailed coatis (Nasua nasua Linnaeus, 1976, Carnivora: Procyonidae) close contact tourists either begging and/or snatching food from visitors. A potentially novel haemotropic Mycoplasma sp. has been previously detected central-western and Brazil. Therefore, aims this study were to investigate occurrence tick-borne...
The black-eared opossum (Didelphis aurita) is a South American synanthropic marsupial. presence of opossums in domestic spaces relevant the One-Health context since they are hosts pathogens and ectoparasites that may affect health animals humans. In this study, we aim to determine occurrence hemoplasmas selected tick-borne free-ranging opossums, along with their molecular characterization, hematological biochemical evaluation factors associated infection, municipality Viçosa, State Minas...
In Veterinary Education, non-harmful alternatives methods have been explored in order to replace the use of animals as a teaching resource. The objective this study was analyze students' opinion regarding low cost model for training ovariaosalpingohisterectomy small before vivo performance. There were 21 veterinary medicine students from Surgical Teaching class enrolled study. They underwent performing surgery on animal and then answered questionnaire model, including team organization,...
Abstract Hemoplasmas are epierythrocytic bacteria that infect mammals. ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoalbiventris’ was detected in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) from southern and central-western Brazil. The present study aimed at: i) screening for tick-borne (TBP) pathogens (Piroplasmida Anaplasmataceae) ii) detecting characterizing hemoplasma species infecting Curitiba Foz do Iguaçu cities the Paraná State, Thirty blood samples were evaluated by PCR assays. Animals not infested...
Abstract Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are small pleomorphic bacteria that parasitize the surface of red blood cells mammals. Hemoplasmas have been described in different species from Camelidae Family, such as llamas and alpacas (South American camelids), but data on dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) limited to a few reports. Somalia has one world’s largest camel populations, studies hemoplasmas tick-borne pathogens lacking. Accordingly, this study aimed screen dromedaries for by...
OBJETIVO: O presente estudo realizou diagnóstico molecular e analisou fatores de risco associados à infecção Leishmania spp. Hemoplasmas, Bartonella Pan-coronavírus em gatos do Nordeste Brasil. MÉTODOS: Foram obtidas 127 amostras sanguíneas 52 swabs retal domiciliados errantes que foram extraídas submetidas PCR convencional (cPCR) com alvo na região kDNA gene gltA spp.; triadas por tempo real (qPCR) direcionado para o 16S rRNA hemoplasmas. Amostras RNA dos sobrenadantes suspensões fecais...
The order Chiroptera is the second largest group of mammals with bats being identified as reservoir several viral zoonoses, although, little known about their role in other groups pathogens, including hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. To date, hemoplasma species have been found infecting high genetic diversity between 16S rRNA gene sequences. On this study, we aimed to identify occurrence and characterize 23S genes four (Artibeus lituratus, Carollia perspicillata, Sturnira lilium tildae) from...
Micoplasmas hemotrópicos (hemoplasmas) são microrganismos gram-negativos e que ficam aderidos aos eritrócitos de diversas espécies mamíferos. Em pequenos ruminantes, Mycoplasma ovis, em bovinos, wenyonii ‘Candidatus haemobos’ as já descritas. Nessas animais a transmissão dos hemoplasmas pode estar relacionada à infestação por carrapatos ou picadas moscas hematófagas. A infecção causar anemia hemolítica aguda, porém os sinais clínicos diferem acordo com espécie hemoplasma envolvido, do animal...
Bartonella is an emerging group of facultative intracellular bacteria causing circulatory and systemic disorders. Hosts for are mostly mammals, specifically rodents, having a growing number species related to their infection. Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) abundant native rodents Brazil, commonly found in urban parks. In the present study, we aimed perform molecular screening capybaras spp. Blood samples were collected from 17 free-ranging animals captured Paraná State, Southern...
