Abstract Background The role of wildlife as a brucellosis reservoir for humans and domestic livestock remains to be properly established. aim this work was determine the aetiology, apparent prevalence, spatial distribution risk factors transmission in several Iberian wild ungulates. Methods A multi-species indirect immunosorbent assay (iELISA) using Brucella S-LPS antigen developed. In regions having livestock, individual serum samples were taken between 1999 2009 from 2,579 bovids, 6,448...
The occurrence of tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) human and veterinary interest was studied in questing feeding ticks collected from wild animals a region North-Western Spain. A total 529 (489 questing, 40 feeding) seven different species (386 Ixodes ricinus, 53 Haemaphysalis concinna, 27 punctata, 25 Dermacentor marginatus, 21 inermis, 15 reticulatus, two Rhipicephalus bursa) were analyzed. Molecular analysis the 16S rRNA gene I. ricinus ticks, revealed presence phylogenetic groups region. Most...
Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1) is responsible for infectious canine hepatitis. The disease has been described in captive American black bear (Ursus americanus) and European brown arctos arctos), with just one recently reported case a cub of free-ranging horribilis) from Alaska. aim this work to summarize findings related presence associated mortality CAdV-1 21 Cantabrian bears arctos) submitted necropsy Asturias Castilla y León (northwestern Spain) 1998 2018. On the basis...
Implicitly, parasite molecular studies assume temporal genetic stability. In this study we tested, for the first time to our knowledge, extent of changes in diversity and structure Sarcoptes mite populations from Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) Asturias (Spain), using one multiplex 9 microsatellite markers samples sympatric chamois, red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe (Capreolus capreolus) fox (Vulpes vulpes). The analysis an 11-years interval period found little change (allelic diversity,...
This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of C. burnetii in domestic ruminants, wild ungulates, as well current situation Q fever humans a small region northwestern Spain where close contact at wildlife–livestock–human interface exists, and information on infection is scarce. Seroprevalence was 8.4% sheep, 18.4% cattle, 24.4% goats. Real-time PCR analysis environmental samples collected 25 livestock farms detected Coxiella DNA dust and/or aerosols 20 them. Analysis sera from 327...
Abstract Background In Spain, sarcoptic mange was first described in native wildlife 1987 Cazorla Natural Park , causing the death of nearly 95% local population Iberian ibex ( Capra pyrenaica ). Since then, additional outbreaks have been identified several populations and other wild ungulate species throughout country. Although epizootic outbreak attributed to introduction an infected herd domestic goats, origin cause its persistence remain unclear. The main aims this study are understand...
Multi-host pathogens emerging and re-emerging at the wildlife-domestic animal interface affect wildlife management conservation. This is case of canine distemper virus (CDV), a paramyxovirus closely related to human measles rinderpest cattle. With an area 10,603 km2 , Asturias region in Atlantic Spain hotspot carnivore diversity, which includes largest Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) population one wolf (Canis lupus) populations south-western Europe. In 2020-2021, we recorded...
Abstract Understanding mortality causes is important for the conservation of endangered species, especially in small and isolated populations inhabiting anthropized landscapes where both natural human-caused may hinder these species. We investigated 53 free-ranging brown bears ( Ursus arctos ) found dead between 1998 2023 Cantabrian Mountains (northwestern Spain), a highly human-modified region are currently recovering after being critically threatened last century. detected traumatic...
Wild and domestic ruminants are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection. Three BTV serotypes (BTV-4, BTV-1 BTV-8) have been detected in Spain the last decade. Even though control strategies applied livestock, circulation has frequently wild ruminant populations Spain. The aim of present study is assess role for maintaining after vaccination programs livestock mainland A total 931 out 1,914 (48.6%) serum samples, collected from eight different species between 2006 2011, were positive...
Abstract Background The roe deer is the most abundant and widespread wild Eurasian cervid. Its populations are expanding increasingly in contact with livestock. This may affect distribution of infectious diseases shared other domestic ungulates. Methods We investigated antibody seroprevalence against Pestivirus, Herpesvirus, Bluetongue (BT) virus, M. avium paratuberculosis (MAP), Brucella sp. 519 from different regions Spain, south-western Europe. Results No antibodies were detected BT...
The impact of carnivore parvovirus infection on wild populations is not yet understood; disease signs are mainly developed in pups and assessing the health litters carnivores has big limitations. This study aims to shed light virus dynamics among thanks analysis 213 samples collected between 1994 2013 ecosystems from Spain. We determined presence DNA by real-time PCR sequenced vp2 gen 22 positive characterize strains perform phylogenetic analysis. was confirmed 18% samples, with a higher...
