The complex aetiology of gastric lesions in pigs remains largely unknown and effective preventive measures pharmaceutical treatment the disease have not been developed yet. Regardless fact that overwhelming majority previous research works dealing with ulceration focused on role nutritional determinants, including chemical composition feeds, cereal type, finely ground pelleted diets, feed additives, conclusions presented therein remain highly ambiguous. Thus, purpose this study was to...
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and BSE-related disorders have been associated with a single major prion strain. Recently, 2 atypical, presumably sporadic forms of BSE distinct strains that are characterized mainly by Western blot profiles abnormal protease-resistant protein (PrPres), named high-type (BSE-H) low-type (BSE-L), also differed from classical BSE. We 5 atypical BSE-H isolates analyzing their molecular neuropathologic properties during transmission in transgenic mice...
Biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are vectors bluetongue virus (BTV), African horse sickness and Schmallenberg (SBV). Outbreaks both BTV SBV have affected large parts Europe. The spread these diseases depends largely on vector distribution abundance. aim this analysis was to identify quantify major spatial patterns temporal trends in seasonal variation observed abundance nine countries We gathered existing data from Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria,...
Two outbreaks of Schmallenberg virus (SBV) infection that coincided with the introduction two bulls imported from France into herds located in West Pomerania and Silesia provinces Poland are described detail. The first SBV real-time RT-PCR-positive result was obtained during routine testing one bulls. second bull affected farms were tracked by further investigation. Transmission Polish cattle where confirmed viral RNA detection RT-PCR, isolation followed immunoperoxidase (IPX) staining...
Summary Hepatitis E is an important public health problem mostly in developing but occasionally also industrialized countries. Domestic and wildlife animals are considered reservoirs of the hepatitis virus ( HEV ). Since no information on prevalence autochthonous infections human animal Poland available, aim study was to investigate seroprevalence different species as potential country. No antibodies were found any sera collected from red deer C ervus elaphus ), European bison B ison bonasus...
The emergence of an another bluetongue virus serotype BTV-3 has been causing great losses in animal farming Europe since fall 2023. spreads faster than the epidemic BTV-8, which appeared on continent nine years earlier. study describes first case Poland detected European bison (Bison bonasus), just approx. 15 km from German-Polish border. suffered severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease. symptoms included respiratory problems, bloody diarrhea rapidly progressive cachexia. In addition to...
Since the emergence of serotype BTV-3, another bluetongue virus, in fall 2023, this variant has been causing great losses livestock farming Europe. The virus spreads faster than epidemic BTV-8, which appeared on continent nine years earlier. This study describes first case BTV-3 Poland detected a European bison (Bison bonasus) Poland’s Wolin National Park, approximately 15 km from German–Polish border. animal suffered severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease. symptoms included respiratory...
Contrary to extensively studied porcine alphaherpesvirus (SuHV-1/PRV), betaherpesvirus (SuHV-2/PCMV) and Gammaherpesvirinae (SuHV-3/PLHV-1, SuHV-4/PLHV-2, SuHV-5/PLHV-3) infections remain unexplored in the swine population Poland. The aim of this study was characterise prevalence local strains from each major herpesvirus subfamily on a large-scale weaner farm located Nasal swabs collected pigs at 6, 8 10 weeks age were tested for presence using nested PCR specific pan-herpesvirus DNA...
In view of recurrent Schmallenberg virus (SBV) infections all over Europe between 2011 and 2013, a lively scientific debate the importance sylvatic transmission cycle has emerged. The study presents results serosurvey which included wild ruminants representing species red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe (Capreolus capreolus), European bison (Bison bonasus), fallow (Dama dama), mouflon (Ovis orientalis musimon) hunted or immobilized at 34 different locations Poland in autumn/winter 2013. Out 580...
Abstract Background Culicoides biting midges transmit viruses resulting in disease ruminants and equids such as bluetongue, Schmallenberg African horse sickness. In the past decades, these diseases have led to important economic losses for farmers Europe. Vector abundance is a key factor determining risk of vector-borne spread it is, therefore, predict species involved transmission pathogens. The objectives this study were model map monthly abundances Methods We obtained entomological data...
In this study, two sheep, eight dromedary camels and Bactrian were inoculated with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A SAU 22/92. Five naive four sheep kept in direct or indirect contact the camels. The which served as positive controls, displayed typical moderate clinical signs of FMD developed viraemia high antibody titres. presence was also detected probang mouth-swab samples for several days after inoculation. contrast, not susceptible to FMDV infection. None them showed specific...
Bison bonasus is an indigenous species of Central and Eastern Europe with the largest wild population inhabiting Białowieża Primeval Forest; however, free-living captive European bison are reared in many countries around world. Despite that was rescued from extinction after First World War, it remains as endangered species. Changing environment well human activity may have contributed to observed increase risk emergence re-emergence pathogens. The aim survey establish distribution four...
