Wild birds are considered as a reservoir for avian chlamydiosis posing potential infectious threat to domestic poultry and humans. Analysis of 894 cloacal or fecal swabs from free-living in Poland revealed an overall Chlamydiaceae prevalence 14.8% (n = 132) with the highest noted Anatidae (19.7%) Corvidae (13.4%). Further testing conducted species-specific real-time PCR showed that 65 samples (49.2%) were positive C. psittaci whereas only one was avium. To classify non-identified chlamydial...
Abstract Coxiella burnetii and Chlamydia spp. are known to have a wide range of hosts, e.g., mammals, birds, reptiles, including free-living animals, which serve as vectors for its transmission human animal population. The aim this study was verify the occurrence Chlamydiaceae in samples collected from red deers, roe deers fallow living various regions Poland. Serum (n=385) were analyzed using an ELISA test detect C. antibodies, while tissue (i.e. lungs, liver, spleen) 372 animals tested by...
Q fever is a worldwide zoonotic disease reported in humans and many animal species including cattle. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence Coxiella (C.) burnetii shedding Polish dairy cattle herds identify pathogen's genotypes sequence types (STs) using multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) multispacer typing (MST) methods. presence C. DNA was detected commercial real-time PCR kit, targeting IS1111 element. Overall, 1,439 samples from 279 tested...
Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of Q fever, a zoonosis affecting many animal species including sheep and goats. The aims this study were to evaluate shedding in small ruminant herds identify pathogen's genotypes sequence types (STs) using multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) multispacer typing (MST) methods.Overall, 165 samples from 43 goats 9 flocks collected bulk tank milk (BTM), individual samples, vaginal swabs, tissue sections stillborn kids, feces...
Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of Q fever. The cases disease are recorded in various species, including domestic animals. aim this investigation was to estimate seroprevalence C. ruminants cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. Totally, 2082 serum samples from 936 933 89 124 horses, horse breeds, were tested by ELISA or complement fixation test. examination revealed that Polish horses seronegative while populations cattle small ruminants, seropositive animals presented. percentage goats...
Abstract The aim of the study was to assess seroprevalence Coxiella burnetii in cattle herds different regions Poland. A total 1150 serum samples collected from 443 14 provinces were tested using complement fixation test. individual average percentage seropositive 40.41% and these identified each province tested.
Abstract Introduction Different Chlamydia species affect cattle and contribute to economic losses. One of them, C. pecorum , is a globally endemic livestock pathogen. Despite its endemicity, prevalence data from Poland have so far been limited. The present study aimed obtain insight into the chlamydiae in Polish dairy cattle. Material Methods A screening chlamydial seroprevalence was initially performed, followed by Chlamydiaceae - species-specific real-time qPCR. Vaginal swabs (n = 239)...
Q fever (coxiellosis) is an infectious disease of animals and humans, caused by.C. burnetii widely distributed throughout the world. It known that people acquire predominantly.via inhalation aerosols. The possibility transmission pathogen by alimentary route still a matter debate remains controversial. Therefore aim this study was to fill gaps in knowledge oral of.C. conducting biological tests on guinea pig model.Guinea pigs, divided into five groups comprising negative control four...
Chlamydia gallinacea is one of the new species, encountered predominantly in birds and occasionally cattle, its dissemination, pathogenicity zoonotic potential have not yet been fully elucidated. Until now, no case clinical infection has described poultry, but number studies limited. This study was conducted to evaluate course impact on production parameters chicken broilers inoculated with strain 15-56/1 isolated from a Polish flock. The presence C. confirmed oropharyngeal cloacal swabs by...
Abstract Introduction The intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii is the aetiological agent of Q fever, a zoonosis affecting many animal species worldwide. Cattle and small ruminants are considered major reservoirs bacteria they shed it through multiple routes. Material Methods A total 2,180 sera samples from 801 cattle herds in all Polish voivodeships were tested by ELISA for presence specific antibodies. Milk obtained seropositive cows 133 as part separate study. milk examined real-time...
