Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) circulate between the environment, animals and humans entailing a double concern: their ability to interfere with tuberculosis diagnosis potential cause infections in hosts. However, published records on NTM are still scarce. The aims of present study were describe diversity circulating among wild domestic species from Spain analyze implications as pathogenic microorganisms or sources interferences bovine tuberculosis. Overall, 293 isolates 277 obtained...
Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) constitute an emerging public health concern favoured by multidimensional global changes. Amongst these, increase and spread of wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations are special since this species can act as a reservoir zoonotic promote tick abundance. Thus, we aimed to make first assessment the risk TBPs resulting from ticks in vicinity highly populated area. Between 2014 2016, collected spleen samples 2256 261 boars (out 438 inspected) metropolitan area Barcelona...
Interactions taking place between sympatric wildlife and livestock may contribute to interspecies transmission of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex or non-tuberculous mycobacteria, leading spread relevant mycobacterioses interferences with diagnosis tuberculosis. The aim this study was characterize spatiotemporal patterns interactions cattle in a low bovine prevalence Atlantic region. Camera traps were set during one-year period farms history and/or mycobacterioses. frequency duration...
Animal tuberculosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused principally by Mycobacterium bovis, member of the complex (MTC). In southern Iberian Peninsula, wild reservoirs such as boar, among other factors, have prevented eradication bovine tuberculosis. However, most studies been focused on south-central Spain, where prevalence high ungulates and cattle herds. northern regions, boar density are lower, fewer carried out role this species still under debate. The aim study was to describe...
Badgers (Meles meles) are a major tuberculosis (TB) reservoir in Europe, with the potential to transmit infection cattle. Here we assessed whether recently described oral vaccine based on heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis (HIMB), delivered as edible baits, can protect badgers from infection. Eight were given individually five each one consisting of ball peanut butter, natural and oat flakes including dose containing 5 × 107 colony-forming units. In parallel, control group seven did not...
Between 2010 and 2013, an outbreak of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) occurred in a captive stock Iberian ibexes (Capra pyrenaica, Schinz 1838) maintained for conservation purposes the National Game Reserve 'Ports de Tortosa i Beseit' (PTB), northeastern Spain. The aim this study was to assess CLA status free-ranging donor population ibexes. An ELISA test detect antibodies performed 360 hunter-harvested between 2007 2013. A spatial analysis recursive partitioning approaches with regression tree...
Mycobacterial infections caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are of great medical veterinary relevance. The aim this research was to study whether small mammals play a role in epidemiology mycobacterioses. Four samplings 100 traps were performed each three cattle farms with previous history or NTM between 2017 2018. A total 108 animals belonging seven species trapped, classified, necropsied, tissues submitted microbiological molecular...
