Reptiles may act as reservoirs or spreaders of potential pathogenic microorganisms including Candida yeasts. While the epidemiology yeast species has been thoroughly studied, virulence profile isolated is not well investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to assess haemolytic, phospholipase, lipase activities and biofilm formation yeasts from cloacal swabs venomous snakes Marrakech, Morocco (Group I, n = 40) non-venomous Cocullo, Italy II, 32). All Group 1 showed low production (Lz ≥ 0.90)...
Abstract Background Malassezia pachydermatis (MP) is implicated in severe dermatitis and otitis externa (OE) of companion animals recently gained attention for its increasing resistance to azole compounds. For this reason, developing novel therapeutic strategies great interest. In a previous work, we used reference yeast isolates evaluate several compounds bearing acyl/selenoureido moieties primary/secondary sulfonamide groups antifungal activity through organic selenium carbonic anhydrase...
Canine parvovirus (CPV) and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), now included in the unique species Carnivore protoparvovirus 1 (CPPV1), have been circulating dogs cats for several decades are considered causes of clinically important diseases, especially young animals. While genetic evidence circulation parvoviruses Egyptian domestic carnivores has provided since 2016, to date, all available data based on partial fragments VP2 gene. This study reports molecular characterization CPPV strains...
Animal trade favors the spreading of emerging and re-emerging pathogens. Concerns have been previously expressed regarding risks dog in zoonotic pathogens Nigeria. However, role these dogs disseminating highly pathogenic canine viruses has not yet explored. The present study aimed to identify selected traded for meat consumption A total 100 blood samples were screened carnivore protoparvovirus-1 (CPPV-1), adenovirus 1/2 (CAdV-1/2), circovirus (CaCV), distemper virus (CDV) by using real-time...
Influenza D virus (IDV) is a novel orthomyxovirus initially isolated from pigs exhibiting influenza-like disease in the USA. Since then, IDV has been detected worldwide several host species, including livestock animals, whilst specific antibodies have identified humans, raising concerns about interspecies transmission and zoonotic risks. Few data regarding seroprevalence of small ruminants available to date. In this study, we assessed prevalence against ovine serum samples Sicily, Southern...
Reptiles in the wild or as pets may act spreaders of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. However, studies on mycobiota these animals are scanty. This study investigates occurrence yeasts from cloacal swabs snakes different origins antifungal profile isolated strains. A total 180 samples were collected Morocco (Group I: n = 68) Italy II: 112). Yeast species biochemically molecularly identified. 72 yeast strains belonging to 13 genera, 8 Group I five II The most frequently Trichosporon...
Lassa Fever (LF) remains a health burden in several endemic areas of Nigeria, and its toll unabated over decades.Although most studies have focused on virological clinical considerations, few attempted to address the perceived psychosocial component LF disease Nigeria.Evaluation stigmatization discrimination faced by survivors is an important step improving individual protecting public health.This study aimed assess LF-associated associated among staff students University Benin.Descriptive...
Massive sequencing techniques have allowed us to develop straightforward approaches for the whole genome of viruses, including influenza generating information that is useful improving levels and dimensions data analysis, even archival samples. Using Nanopore platform, we determined sequence an H3N8 equine virus, identified from a 2005 outbreak in Apulia, Italy, whose origin had remained epidemiologically unexplained. The virus was tightly related (>99% at nucleotide level) all segments...
Introduction: as Ebola virus disease (EVD) continues to pose public health challenge in West Africa, with attending fears and socio-economic implications the current epidemic challenges. It is compelling estimate social preventive costs of EVD containment a Nigerian city. Hence, this study was determine cost among selected institutions Lagos, Nigeria, from July December, 2014.
Contamination of surgical sites often resulting from inadequate site preparation and poor asepsis is a common cause infection (SSI) postoperative complications. Standard practice ensuring preoperative skin disinfection helps to prevent the incidence SSI. The choice antiseptic therefore poses serious counterbalance for surgeon. This study was carried out determine whether immediately prior incision will reduce microbial burden that may potentiate SSI compare clinical effectiveness...
This study examined the ameliorative effect of D-3-O-methyl-chiroinositol, isolated from stem bark Piliostigma thonningii, on cadmium chloride-induced osteoporosis in male Wistar rats.Thirty-six rats were assigned to three treatment groups (n = 12). Group A (2 mL distilled water), group B: (2.5 mg/kg b.w. CdCl2) and C: CdCl2 D-3-O-methyl-chiroinositol 2 b.w.). Bone ash, calcium, phosphate, magnesium, zinc content, as well bone histological changes determined at end months 1, 2, 3.There...
In mammals and across rat species, the variation in conformation is markedly observed head shape of mostly determined by skull. Hence comparative topographic analysis morphometry a veritable tool precise categorization peri-domestic rats species identification. Killed rodents around residential dwellings students on campus were collected measurements taken external morphology. Thirty-one corporal parameters; 40 cranial respectively obtained.

Incidence data from 17-year veterinary neoplasm surveillance and registration were reviewed. Most of the neoplastic cases diagnosed in Nigerian teaching hospitals (VTHs) avian (49%) canine species (44%). Fewer recorded equine (3.2%), bovine (2.4%), ovine (1.5%), caprine (0.3%) porcine (0.15%) species. Marek’s disease was most prevalently domestic animals VTHs 2000–2017. Also, local breed had a higher mean distribution than any other dog this statistically significant (p < 0.05). Nearly...
Goat may represent a valid large animal model for human pathogens and new vaccines testing. Appropriate vaccine administration is critical component of successful immunization program. The wrong route reduce the efficacy vaccine, whereas proper strategy can enhance it. Viral vectors have been employed successfully goat sheep immunization; however, no data concerning vaginal are available. A viral vector's ability to transduce site inoculation primary interest. In this study, fast reliable ex...
