Coccidiosis represents a serious threat to the poultry industry, affecting production and causing high morbidity, mortality significant costs resulting from treatment prophylaxis. In-feed anticoccidials have been used for decades managing avian coccidiosis were very effective until drug resistance emerged. The use of natural remedies has become promising alternative in combating chickens. Therefore, purpose present study was assess efficiency commercial herbal formula (H), as oral liquid...
The West Nile Virus (WNV), a member of the family Flaviviridae, is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus causing potentially severe infections in humans and animals involving central nervous system (CNS). Due to its tendency, WNV now occurs many areas where other flaviviruses are co-occurring. Cross-reactive antibodies with or vaccination (e.g., tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), Usutu (USUV), yellow fever (YFV), dengue (DENV), Japanese (JEV)) therefore remain major challenge diagnosing...
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and severe haemorrhagic disease of Suidae, with mortalities that approach 100 percent. Several studies suggested the potential implication non-biting dipterans in spread ASFV pig farms due to identification DNA. However, our knowledge, no study has evaluated viral DNA load collected outbreak risk factors have been analysed. In this context, aimed analyse associated presence from ASF outbreaks relation
West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu (USUV), and the tick-borne encephalitis (TBEV) are all arboviruses belonging to Flaviviridae family. All characterized by vectorial transmission sometimes associated with neuroinvasive infections. The circulation of these viruses is considered endemic in parts Europe, human cases reported many countries. Among hosts, vectored hematophagous arthropods, such as mosquitoes (WNV, USUV) ticks (TBEV). Considering currently outdated knowledge regarding epidemiology...
African swine fever has a significant economic, social and environmental impact due to official regulation of the disease, namely mass depopulation all pigs in confirmed outbreaks. The main objective present study was statistically analyze possible correlation between number outbreaks infected from backyard farms with altitude, seasonal average annual humidity, temperature during spring, summer, autumn winter, as well distance forests, rivers, lakes Romania. included virus (n = 7764) 404)...
In the context of climate change, globalization, and enhanced human traveling, arboviruses continue to represent a threat public health. West Nile Usutu viruses are mosquito-borne belonging Flaviviridae family (Flavivirus genus) members Japanese encephalitis virus serocomplex. Included in Togaviridae (Alphavirus genus), Sindbis is also vectored by mosquitoes. present study, we aimed analyze presence antibodies concerning abovementioned migratory resident birds South-Eastern region Romania,...
(1) Background: Various studies on artemisinin and its derivatives have shown that Artemisia annua may be of therapeutic interest for different diseases, including chicken coccidiosis. This study aimed to evaluate the effects farm-reared broiler chickens by analyzing both anticoccidial efficacy effect intestinal microbiota poultry. (2) Methods: The experiment was performed within three houses a farm located in Romania. House 1 experimental group received diet with an addition A. annua....
Chickens raised in backyard free-range systems are confronted with a significant threat of parasitic infections. Among the agents, protozoa belonging to genus Eimeria and helminths, including Ascaridia galli, Capillaria spp., Heterakis gallinarum, Strongyloides avium, stand out as most prevalent. The sampling protocol included sixteen localities four counties within Transylvania region Romania. Fecal samples were collected from chickens reared system. screened for oocysts (O) eggs (E) by...
Abstract Background The Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) genogroup is the causative agent responsible for Lyme borreliosis, a common tick-borne infectious disease in some temperate regions of Northern Hemisphere. In humans, clinical manifestations borreliosis vary from dermatological infection to severe systemic manifestations. Romania, data on seroprevalence and associated risk factors are scarce outdated, as only study with large dataset was published more than 20 years ago....
West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most prevalent mosquito-borne viruses. Although infection in humans mostly asymptomatic, 15–20% cases show flu-like symptoms with fever. In 1% infections, develop severe nervous and even die, a condition known as neuroinvasive disease (WNND). The aim our study was to analyze influence abiotic biotic factors human WNND during period 2015–2019. A database containing all localities Romania developed. Abiotic predictors were included for each locality:...
Abstract Background Apicomplexan haemoparasites are protozoans that infect a variety of domestic and wild animal species, as well humans. Data regarding haemoprotozoans in cats limited; therefore, the aim this study was to assess occurrence Babesia spp., Cytauxzoon Hepatozoon spp. Romania using molecular tools. Methods Blood samples from 371 were screened for presence piroplasmids. All yielded visible band agarose gels subsequently tested by specific assays targeting 18S rDNA Moreover,...
Introduction Lice infestation negatively impacts the welfare and productivity of domestic animals. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy a commercial polyherbal formula (PHF) containing Asarum europaeum , Lavandula angustifolia Artemisia absinthium Tanacetum vulgare in managing lice infestations chickens goats within backyard farming system Romania. Methods The PHF was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determine its phytochemical composition. Chickens with...
