The global crisis of plastic pollution, particularly involving microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), has profound ecological implications. Birds, serving as bioindicators, are especially susceptible to these pollutants. This systematic review synthesizes the current research on presence, distribution, impact MPs NPs avian species, alongside advancements in detection methodologies. have been identified over 200 bird species across 46 families, encompassing several ecosystems, from...
The presence of AMR bacteria in the human-animal-environmental interface is a clear example One Health medicine. Several studies evidence resistant wildlife, which can be used as good indicator anthropization level on ecosystem. fast increase environment last decade has been led by several factors globalization and migration. Migratory birds travel hundreds kilometers disseminate pathogens through different regions or even continents. aim this study was to compare three migratory bird species:
Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are emerging zoonotic pathogens. Micromammals have received little attention as hosts for hemoplasmas despite their ubiquitous presence, high population abundances, and close association with humans. A PCR protocol targeting a fragment of the 16 S rRNA gene direct sequencing in blood samples 189 adult specimens 35 fetuses belonging to three species Eulipotyphla (shrews) seven Rodentia, captured ecologically diverse habitats North-Eastern Spain (Steppe,...
Salmonella is mostly noted as a food-borne pathogen, but contact with chelonians has also been reported source of infection. Moreover, high levels antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have in isolated from wild and captive reptiles. The aim this study was to assess the occurrence AMR carriage by admitted two zoological institutions Spain, characterizing isolates epidemiology wildlife. To end, 152 nine species were sampled upon their arrival at nuclei. identification based on ISO 6579-1:2017 (Annex...
The increasing urbanization of ecosystems has had a significant impact on wildlife over the last few years. Species that find an unlimited supply food and shelter in urban areas have thrived under human presence. Wild birds been identified as amplifying hosts reservoirs Campylobacter worldwide, but information about its transmission epidemiology is still limited. This study assessed prevalence 137 admitted at rescue center, with 18.8% individuals showing positive. C. jejuni was most frequent...
Most hemoparasites hosted by wild birds appear to be harmless, but most of the blood parasite studies in avian wildlife are mainly focused on passerines or migratory species. This study aimed assess occurrence parasites nocturnal raptors (Strigiformes order) and their effect hematological parameters. A total 134 samples were collected during a four-year period for analysis hemoparasite detection quantification microscopical examination samples. Overall, was 35.1%, with Leucocytozoon being...
Avian trichomonosis is a parasitic disease caused mainly by Trichomonas gallinae and other species. It can be asymptomatic, or it produce necrotic lesion in the upper digestive tract spread to organs, causing death of infected birds. In this study, we aimed evaluate an adapted real-time PCR method for diagnosis different genotypes species avian oropharyngeal trichomonads. Fifty-six samples from oropharynx Bonelli's eagles (Aquila fasciata) obtained between 2018 2019 were analyzed using...
Sperm quality decreases over time, so bull semen may need to be preserved after field collection. However, the effect of handling such samples from commercial farms and placing them in very short-term storage has not been elucidated. Therefore, ejaculate 25 bulls 1 dairy 14 beef cattle were collected under farm conditions evaluated for during first two hours Two extenders (AndroMed® BIOXcell®) different temperatures (5 °C room temperature) used evaluate influence on sperm kinetics ejaculates...
The introduction of invasive species into an ecosystem could result in biodiversity loss and the spread infectious agents that cause re-emergent or emergent zoonotic diseases. Monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) rose-ringed (Psittacula krameri) are considered widespread exotic urban habitats from Iberian Peninsula. aim this study was to assess presence relevant wild captured parks Madrid Seville (Spain).A total 81 cloacal samples were collected analysed using molecular techniques.The...
Abstract The Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra , faced adversity in Europe the 1950s and 1960s due to hunting, declining fish populations American mink invasion. Slow recovery since 1970s led a ‘Near Threatened’ IUCN Red List status, but recent pollution, fishing pressure habitat loss caused slight population declines. Otters, known for aquatic habits, are mainly piscivorous exhibit solitaire or social behaviours. Infanticide with parent‐offspring cannibalism has been previously reported otter...
The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a critical health challenge. This, plus the discovery void, had led scientists to search for an effective alternative antimicrobials. In this context, nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO), two-dimensional (2D) carbon molecule with oxidized functional groups, have been shown interact physically and chemically bacteria. Moreover, addition polyethylene glycol (PEG) its surface enhances GO’s biocompatibility water solubility, making it...
Injuries and bone fractures are the most frequent causes of admission at wildlife rescue centers. Wild birds more susceptible to open due their anatomical structure, which can lead osteomyelitis necrosis. Antibiotic therapy in these cases is indispensable, but increase antimicrobial-resistant isolates has become a significant concern recent years. In this context, likelihood antibiotic failure death animals with infectious issues high. This study aimed isolate, identify, assess antimicrobial...
Abstract Pathogens affect wild bird populations worldwide, contributing to their decline. Considering the scarce health data regarding endangered Pyrenean Capercaillie ( Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus ), we molecularly surveyed selected pathogens (Newcastle disease virus, Avian influenza Chlamydia psittaci , avian pathogenic Escherichia coli Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella spp.) in 30 feces collected field (Catalonia, northeastern Spain). Additionally, swab tissue samples from eight...
Nowadays, wild animals are threatened by humans, with the number of species and individuals decreasing during recent years. Wildlife rescue centers play a vital role in conservation wildlife populations. This study aims to describe new release technique, Speaker Method, facilitate reunion different baby mammals that arrived at center their mothers within natural habitat, avoiding need for captivity. method is based on recorded baby's cry played speaker make "call effect" mother.
