West Nile virus (WNV), a neurovirulent mosquito-transmissible zoonotic virus, has caused recent outbreaks in Europe, including Serbia from August until October 2012. Although humans can be infected, birds are the main natural WNV reservoir. To assess circulation northern Serbia, 133 wild were investigated. These comprised resident and migratory birds, collected between January September 2012 Vojvodina province. The belonged to 45 species within 27 families. Blood sera (n=92) pooled tissues...
Abstract Infection of cattle with lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is very important from the aspect livestock production. Although it can cause significant economic losses, available serological assays are still not sufficiently efficient and reliable. A 3-day VNT was performed using Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cell line LSDV isolated clinically infected cow to improve diagnostics (LSD). In total, 325 sera samples were tested in order compare performances ELISA. Tested originated 125...
Studies conducted during the past few years have confirmed active West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Serbia. Based on these studies and epidemiological situation, Veterinary Directorate of Ministry Agriculture Environmental Protection launched national WNV surveillance programmes 2014 2015. The encompassed territory Serbia were by veterinary service collaboration with entomologists ornithologists. objective was early detection timely reporting to public health local authorities increase...
The results of the Serbian national integrated West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance program conducted in 2018 and funded by Veterinary Directorate are presented. WNV encompassed entire territory Serbia was veterinary service collaboration with entomologists ornithologists. objective early detection circulation environment timely reporting to public health local authorities increase clinical mosquito control preparedness. based on presence wild birds (natural hosts) mosquitoes (virus vectors)...
Abstract To implement effective lumpy skin disease (LSD) control measures, such as timely vaccination, particularly in calves and serological monitoring, it is necessary to evaluate immune response after both adult cattle their calves. The aim of this study was passive immunity transfer duration maternal antibodies against virus (LSDV) born vaccinated cows by two different methods. longitudinal carried out on farms Serbia where no cases were reported during LSD outbreak 2016. Fifteen each...
Equine arteritis virus (EAV) is responsible for infections in equids. It can spread easily within the horse population and has a major impact on breeding industry. No EAV outbreak ever been reported Serbia. To determine whether nonetheless circulating there, especially Vojvodina region, 340 serum samples were subjected to serology testing detect antibodies. In parallel, semen from three seropositive stallions collected evaluate their status, using RT-qPCR isolation cell culture.Horse sera...
To establish the presence of West Nile virus (WNV) infection in animal population Serbia after human WNV outbreak, anti-WNV IgG antibodies was examined by commercial ELISA blood sera samples 130 horses collected 2012 from 6 stables and 1 settlement Vojvodina Province, northern Serbia. During sampling, hibernating mosquitoes vicinity sampled were (31 pools 4 locations) tested for real-time RT-PCR. The observed 49.23% (64/130) horses. Per stable, percent seropositive animals ranged 35% to 64%....
The aim of this study is to summarize the data on occurrence, presence and prevalence some zoonotic flaviviruses, which have been actively circulating in territory Republic Serbia during past decade. genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae,encompasses vector-transmitted viruses with potential. comprised more than 70 transmitted humans by mosquitoes ticks. Some those are associated only human diseases (such as yellow fever dengue fever), whereas others can cause both animals. Animals major...
This article reports on the occurrence and diagnosis of Aujeszky’s disease in a dog. The procedure for isolation identification Aujeszky’sdisease virus was described. A dog unknown breed aged about two years died after consuming animal offal (internal organs: lungs, spleen, kidneys) fed by owner slaughtering piglets preparing meat cooking. As early as 24 hours offal, manifested characteristic symptoms disease, which were immediately recognized veterinarian. death occurred within less than...
Levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) and copper (Cu) in the liver, kidney muscle 11 individual roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) were determined. Th e samples prepared by microwave wet digestion. Content investigated elements was determined method coupled plasma with mass spectometry. The concentrations ranged from <0.001 (liver) to 8.455 mg/kg (meat), Cd 0.004 (muscle) 0.818 (kidney) As 0.002 0.031 (kidney). Concentrations Hg examined tissues (liver, kidney, muscle)...
The paper presents the findings of specific antibodies in blood sera donkeys against following viruses: equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), African horse sickness (AHSV), herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), influenza subtype H3N8 (EIV) and arteritis (EAV). analyses were conducted during year 2022. From a total 199 bred "Zasavica", was sampled from 53 animals (2 male 51 female donkeys), aged 3 to 10 years. Specific EIAV not detected any tested using agar-gel immunodiffusion (AGID) assay. No AHSV,...
Abstract During July 2018, the first clinical case of neurological West Nile virus (WNV) infection was reported in a Belgian sports mare Belgrade, Serbia. Typical symptoms, such as hypersensitive skin reaction, disorientation, weakness, ataxia and loss equilibrium were reported. Detection WNV IgM antibodies by commercial ELISA serum samples diseased strongly indicated acute infection. The positive results confirmed VNT. Hematological biochemical parameters reference range. only finding minor...
West Nile virus (WNV) danas je jedan od najrasprostranjenijih arbovirusa. U posljednja se dva desetljeća WNV infekcije kontinuirano pojavljuju na području Europe u obliku manjih ili većih epidemija i epizootija. ovom preglednom radu prikazujemo epidemiološke značajke infekcija koje su dokazane Hrvatske Srbije kontekstu “Jednog zdravlja”. Prikazani rezultati potvrđuju značaj multidisciplinarne regionalne suradnje dijagnostici praćenju ove (re-)emergentne virusne zoonoze.
The avian influenza virus (AIV), traditionally confined to hosts, has recently been detected in various mammal species, raising significant concerns for both animal and public health, necessitating efficient accurate methods detection characterization. This study presents a sequencing protocol combined with comprehensive bioinformatics pipeline designed the analysis of AIV genomes. presented streamlined approach encompasses whole genome PCR-amplification viral genome, enabling...
Serological and virological examination of the presence human animal infection caused by West Nile Virus (WNV) as well virus in vectors, which has been conducted during past few years, confi rmed an active circulation territory Republic Serbia. Based on obtained results anticipated intense WNV, poses substantial risks for both public health Serbia, having mind its crucial role protection health, Veterinary Directorate Ministry Agriculture Environmental Protection infront Service launched...
Abstract The results on serological testing of blood sera from stallions and mares used for breeding the presence viral genome Equine Arteritis Virus (EAV) in stallion semen are presented. samples were taken a horse stable territory Republic Serbia during 2012, 2013 2014.

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) are diseases that affect cattle population of all breeds, categories and age. Both diseases, especially infectious rhinotracheitis (IBR), poses severe health threat causes major economic losses is considered one the ?most costly? disease in industry. The causal agent a virus any detection IBR/IPV specific antibodies non-vaccinated cattle, either blood or milk, indicates animal infected represents source infection....
