A new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan 2019 and spread rapidly to the rest of world causing pandemic disease named (COVID-19). Little information is about impact this virus can cause upon domestic stray animals. The potential has become great interest cats due transmission among severe phenotypes described recently a cat. In context, there public health warning that needs be investigated relation with epidemiological role cats. Consequently, order know possible chain, blood...
Animal infections with SARS-CoV-2 have been reported in different countries and several animal species proven to be susceptible infection both naturally by experimental infection. Moreover, under natural conditions more than 20 mink farms where humans could the source of for minks. However, little information is available about susceptibility pet animals currently there no epidemiological assessment occurrence household ferrets. In this study, presence antibodies was evaluated serum samples...
The objective of this work was to develop, use and present a detailed questionnaire for the evaluation health management in dairy small ruminants; it includes 442 questions organised seven sections: general, infrastructure, animals, production characteristics, management, nutrition, human resources. Consistency replies evaluated 27 farmers, interviewed twice. Inconsistent were given by all farmers 30 different (Cronbach's coefficient alpha: 0.987). Then, interviews performed 444 farms around...
The European Bison (Bison bonasus) is the largest mammal in Europe and classified as an endangered species. Leishmaniosis a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan Leishmania infantum. In general, this infection has been associated with dogs, cats, humans. However, epidemiologic studies reports confirm that parasite able to infect many other mammalian Recent evidence demonstrated ruminants endemic areas are exposed L. infantum infection. Moreover, climate change allowed northward spread of...
The origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains unknown. However, it is likely that the virus spillover occurred from an animal reservoir to humans. Identifying species susceptible SARS-CoV-2 crucial for understanding cross-species transmission This study distinguishes itself by focusing on susceptibility European bison (Bison bonasus), endangered species, SARS-CoV-2. objective this was investigate occurrence antibodies in a substantial number (n = 238)...
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) cause multisystemic chronic inflammatory disease and significant economic losses in sheep goats worldwide. However, no vaccines or therapies are currently available. In this study, a recombinant Sendai virus (SeV) vector encoding the SRLV gag-P25 gene (rSeV-GFP-P25) from EV1 strain was generated using In-FUSION cloning rescued SeV reverse genetic system. Transgene expression stimulation of innate immunity interferon-stimulated genes (ovine A3Z1, OBST2...
Abortion imposes a substantial economic burden on the global small ruminant industry, not only reducing herd productivity but also contributing to spread of zoonotic diseases. This study examines primary factors associated with abortion, both infectious and non-infectious, in 623 goat herds across Iran. A comprehensive evaluation was performed, incorporating history, laboratory results, statistical analyses using univariate tests multivariable binary logistic regression. Key findings...
The use of vaccines including aluminum (Al)–based adjuvants is widespread among small ruminants and other animals. They are associated with the appearance transient injection site nodules corresponding to granulomas. This study aims characterize morphology these granulomas, understand role Al adjuvant in their genesis, establish presence metal regional lymph nodes. A total 84 male neutered lambs were selected divided into 3 treatment groups 28 animals each: (1) vaccine (containing Al-based...
The European mink (Mustela lutreola) is listed as a critically endangered species because of ongoing population reduction from habitat degradation and the effects introduced species, such American (Neovison vison). This small, fragmented becomes vulnerable to many other threats, including diseases. Leishmaniosis zoonotic disease caused by protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum found in Mediterranean area, which affects mammals, wild small mammals. Furthermore, clinical L. has recently been...
Abstract Ovine anaplasmosis is an emerging vector-borne disease in Europe caused by Anaplasma ovis . The infection has spread quickly recent years, causing moderate to severe outbreaks sheep flocks, leading relevant economic losses farming. This wider been associated with global warming and climate change, favouring the maintenance life cycle of their main vector, ticks. However, another epidemiological aspect could favour this quick spread. Long persistence proposed as a hypothesis several...
In Europe, feline vector-borne infections are gaining importance because of the changing climate, expanding habitats potential vectors and pathogen reservoirs. The main objective this study was to assess prevalence pathogens (VBPs) in stray cats Zaragoza, Spain, investigate risk factors for infection, including leukaemia virus (FeLV) immunodeficiency (FIV).Blood samples from presented veterinary faculty Zaragoza between February 2020 2022 were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
