Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (ARs) can be critical for carnivores, due to their widespread use and impacts. However, although many studies explored the impacts of ARs on small mesocarnivores, none assessed extent which they could contaminate large carnivores in anthropized landscapes. We filled this gap by exploring spatiotemporal trends grey wolf (Canis lupus) exposure central northern Italy, subjecting a sample dead wolves (n = 186) LC-MS/MS method. Most 115/186, 61.8 %)...
Salmonella is diffused worldwide, and enterica subsp. spread worldwide with many serovars associated the infection of domestic bovines. The most are S. Dublin, Typhimurium Infantis. Napoli is, however very rarely reported in ruminants. Here, we report an outbreak on a dairy cow farm Northern Italy (Piacenza). A total 18 isolates were recovered from aborted fetuses, feces, tissues environmental samples. Whole genome sequencing suggested that all belonged to same cluster. After application...
Over the last 40 years gray wolf (Canis lupus) re-colonized its historical range in Italy increasing human-predator interactions. However, temporal and spatial trends mortality, including direct indirect persecution, were never summarized. This study aims to fill this gap by focusing on situation of Tuscany Emilia-Romagna regions, hosting a significant proportion Italian population, by: (i) identifying prevalent causes (ii) summarizing their patterns (iii) applying spatially-explicit...
Consumption of milk and dairy products is considered one the main routes human exposure to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Quantitative data on MAP load in raw cows' are essential starting point for assessment. Our study provides this information a regional scale, estimating bulk tank (BTM) produced Emilia-Romagna region (Italy). The survey was carried out 2934 BTM samples (88.6% farms herein present) using two different target sequences qPCR (f57 IS900). Data about...
Paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) is a globally widespread infectious disease affecting domestic and wild ruminants, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). The bacterium excreted in the feces characterized high environmental resistance. new Animal Health Law (Regulation EU 2016/429) on transmissible animal diseases, recently force throughout European Union, includes within diseases requiring surveillance EU, listing some Bovidae, Cervidae, Camelidae as potential...
The causative agent of paratuberculosis in ruminants, Mycobacterium avium subsp. (MAP), although still a matter debate, has been linked with Crohn's and other human diseases. availability rapid methods for assessing the viability MAP cells food, particular milk, could be great use risk management food safety. is generally assessed using culture techniques that require prolonged incubation periods growth MAP. To differentiate between viable nonviable milk samples, this study explores...
We report here on an outbreak of mastitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B Streptococcus, in a northern Italy (Lombardy Region) free stall dairy farm. This was unusual because it occurred closed herd and proved to be extremely difficult resolve even after the application classical control procedures, which are specifically focused contagious nature S. agalactiae. In order better understand potential origins pathogen critical points that could impair eradication program...
Paratuberculosis is considered one of the most economically devastating infectious diseases domestic livestock, and effective control strategy a combination 'test-and-cull' on-farm biosecurity measures. In Italy, Voluntary National Control Plan (VNCP) guidelines have been introduced to reduce impact disease, farmers can voluntarily enroll in plan. The main aims this study were: i) description trend over 4-year period on total, within-herd (WH) between herd (BH) apparent seroprevalences...
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) is the etiological agent of paratuberculosis. The aim our study was to combine Mini-and Microsatellite loci analysis in order explore effectiveness this sub-typing method a group Map isolates. For purpose, 84 Italian Type C isolates, each from different cattle herd, were submitted MIRU-Variable-Number Tandem-Repeats (VNTRs) typing and Short Sequence repeats (SSRs) sequencing. Moreover, used analyse variability inside 10 herds (from three 50...
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B , GBS) is one of the most important agents bovine mastitis and causes remarkable direct indirect economic losses to livestock sector. Moreover, this species can cause severe human diseases in susceptible individuals. To investigate zoonotic potential S. 203 sympatric isolates from both humans cattle, isolated same time frame (2018) geographic area (Emilia Romagna region, Northern Italy), were characterized by molecular capsular typing (MCT), pilus island...
The study describes the development of a simple and rapid tool to identify yeast-like microalgae belonging genus Prototheca.The method, based on two-step Real Time PCR reaction followed by DNA Resolution Melting Analysis (qPCR/RMA), has been developed using reference strains both pathogenic (P. zopfii genotype 2, P. wickerhamii blaschkeae) non-pathogenic species 1, stagnora ulmea). In order validate seventy recently isolated Prototheca were thus tested in parallel with first qPCR/RMA...
Objectives An epidemiological survey was carried out in order to obtain a better understanding of the role wild boars epidemiology influenza virus. Design The samples were submitted Real‐Time PCR testing for gene M swine virus ( SIV ), and isolation performed from positive samples. Genome sequence analysis on isolates. Additionally, 1,977 boar sera analyzed using ELISA hemoagglutination inhibition. Setting Over recent years, population has greatly increased Italy, including areas...
In recent years, the growth of wild ungulates has increased focus on their health monitoring. particular, status boars is relevant for economic impact pig industry. The Emilia-Romagna region activated a wildlife monitoring plan to better evaluate boar population. Between 2011 and 2021, samples found dead hunted have been examined trichinellosis, tuberculosis, brucellosis, african swine fever, classical Aujeszky’s disease, vesicular influenza A. Trichinella britovi was identified in 0.001%...
