ABSTRACT This work provides a novel, highly sensitive, hot start PCR method for rapid and specific detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV) that can be used as routine diagnostic test ASFV in surveillance, control, eradication programs. A confirmatory the specificity this based on restriction endonuclease analysis was also developed.
Data on genus and infectious by Rickettsia were retrospectively compiled from the critical review literature regarding all countries in Latin America, Caribbean islands, Portugal Spain. We considered records reported for human and/or animal hosts, invertebrate hosts being vector. In a few cases, when no direct detection of given group or species was available country, serologic method considered. A total 13 have been recorded America Caribbean. The with largest number country confirmed felis...
Four Amblyomma sabanerae ticks collected from a turtle (Kinosternon sp.) in San Miguel, El Salvador, were found by molecular analysis to be infected Rickettsia bellii. We provide the first report of bellii Central America, and species Salvador.
Twelve tick species have been reported in El Salvador; however, information regarding ticks infesting domestic dogs is lacking, and pathogenic tick-borne Rickettsia never Salvador. This work evaluated 230 from ten municipalities Salvador July 2019 to August 2020. A total of 1,264 were collected identified into five species: Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.), microplus, Amblyomma mixtum, ovale, Amblyoma cf. parvum. The R. s.l. was the most frequent all localities (81.3% sampled...
Abstract Background The automated collection of non-specific data from livestock, combined with techniques for mining and time series analyses, facilitates the development animal health syndromic surveillance (AHSyS). An example AHSyS approach relates to monitoring bovine fallen stock. In order enhance part machinery a complete system, present work developed novel modelling in near real multiple mortality patterns at different hierarchical administrative levels. To illustrate its...
<title>Abstract</title> The tick fauna of El Salvador is currently represented by 10 species hard ticks (family Ixodidae) and two soft Argasidae). This study aimed to report new additional records rickettsiae in Salvador. During 2019–2021, a total 216 specimens were collected from eight host (domestic wild animals) the environment among 15 geographic localities Combining morphological molecular analyses, identified into following 11 species: <italic>Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma...
To date, Bulgaria has been free of African Horse Sickness (AHS). Contacts with and proximity to countries, in which it is assumed there are cases the disease, necessitate surveillance equine animals near border strict control outgoing incoming animals, especially those returning country after a long stay abroad participation races. Instructions for carrying out veterinary activities instances when disease occurs have worked out, since were occurrences Blue tongue (the same epizootiological...
