Fox rabies re-emerged in northeastern Italy 2008, an area bordering Slovenia. In 2009, the infection spread westward to Veneto region and 2010 provinces of Trento Bolzano. Aerial emergency oral fox vaccination was implemented winter 2009-10. Since this performed at altitudes below freezing level, a statistical analysis conducted evaluate its impact. Of foxes sampled following campaign, 77% showed antibody titre >or=0.5 IU/ml.
After more than 10 years of absence, in 2008 rabies re-emerged and spread wild foxes north-eastern Italy. In order to control the infection minimize risk human exposure, three oral vaccination campaigns were first carried out by manual distribution baits between January September 2009, followed four emergency (ORV) aerial affected regions starting December 2009. Ordinary ORV spring fall 2011 2012, although no cases reported after February 2011. our paper, we describe main characteristics...
Abstract Noroviruses (NoVs) are one of the major causative agents non-bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. NoVs, belonging to Caliciviridae , classified into ten genogroups (G) and eight P-groups based on capsid protein (VP1) RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase (RdRp), respectively. In swine, main genogroup P-group identified GII GII.P; which can infect too. To date, only case GIIP.11 have been swine Italy while circulation other P-types is currently unknown. present study, 225 faecal...
The illegal trade of companion animals in the European Union poses several legal, ethical and health issues to entire community. In framework Biocrime Interreg project between Italy Austria, we surveyed puppies kittens confiscated at borders identify most frequent pathogens associated with (i) risk spread within shelter, (ii) development fatal disease (iii) zoonotic potential. From January 2018 December 2020, examined a total 613 62 coming from 44 requisitions. Feces, skin specimens blood...
After more than 10 years of absence, sylvatic rabies re-appeared in Italy 2008. To prevent disease spread, three oral vaccination (ORV) campaigns targeting red foxes were performed through manual distribution vaccine baits between January and September 2009. As these proved unsuccessful, at the end December 2009, started being distributed using helicopters, allowing uniform coverage larger areas a shorter time period. From winter 2009 to autumn 2016, total 15 ORV (four emergency, four...
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a major health concern in beef cattle, with several pathogens and environmental risk factors being involved. Clinical signs of BRD may remain undetected, preventing proper diagnosis. Yet, BRD-associated lung lesions can be detected at slaughter, providing more sensitive way to estimate prevalence, as these are present also subclinically affected animals. In April–August 2016, the lungs 518 Charolaise males from 8 farms North-Eastern Italy were scored...
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) has spread across Europe since mid-2011, causing unspecific and transitory symptoms in ruminants congenital malformations their offspring. Evidence for the impact of SBV on cattle (re)productive performance is limited. Using a comprehensive data set from SBV-affected province North-East Italy, this study aimed at assessing potential emergence 11 productive reproductive indicators dairy herds, accounting weather conditions other herd-level factors that could also...
This surveillance study aimed to estimate the proportion of antimicrobial resistant strains and resistance (AMR) profiles
Laboratory tests provide essential support to the veterinary practitioner, and their use has grown exponentially. This growth is result of several factors, such as eradication historical diseases, occurrence multifactorial obligation control endemic epidemic diseases. However, introduction novel techniques counterbalanced by economic constraints, establishment evidence- consensus-based guidelines pathologist. Therefore, we developed standardized protocols, categorized species, type...

Purpose: West Nile virus (WNV) has circulated in north-eastern Italy 2008, and is considered to have become endemic the area. In 2009, a national surveillance programme was implemented, following re-modulated Veneto Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) regions, Italy, since 2011. The aims of regional plan were early detection WNV seasonal reactivation, inform Public Health control measures. Hereby we report results FVG for 2018. Methods & Materials: A risk-based approach allowed define area where...
Feline blood donation requires sedation to allow for good collection, avoiding venous damage and unnecessary donor stress. In the present study, we describe variation of hematological parameters in a population 74 healthy blood-donor cats that underwent same protocol, including medetomidine, alfaxalone, butorphanol. Changes were evaluated samples collected from conscious (group A), sedated B), feline whole-blood units (FBUs) C). Significant differences observed between unsedated cats: mean...
