ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequence of Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae serovar 17: l,v:z isolated from a nose-horned viper ( Vipera ammodytes ) in Republic Serbia which might be considered new .
Abstract Salmonella spp. infections pose a significant threat to both animal and public health, with various serotypes affecting wide range of hosts. This case report investigates an outbreak salmonellosis on chinchilla farm in Serbia, focusing the clinical, pathological, microbiological aspects infection. Two cadavers were brought Faculty Veterinary Medicine, University Belgrade. The animals exhibited anorexia, apathy, diarrhea, abortions before succumbing Pathohistological findings...
The survival of Salmonella Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, Infantis, and Montevideo in experimentally inoculated (106 CFU/g) minced pork meat containing different concentrations (0%, 0.3%, 0.6%, or 0.9%) oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil (OEO) packaged under vacuum MAP (30%O2/50%CO2/20%N2) were evaluated within 15 days refrigeration (3 ± 1°C) storage. Carvacrol was the predominant constituent OEO (77.16%). minimum inhibitory concentration similar for all serovars (160–320 μg/ml). counts...
Abstract Blood smears stained with Diff Quick are the initial tool for cytological diagnosis of Haemogregarina spp. However, development sensitive and specific molecular methods enabled detection identification parasites in sample to clarify evolutionary relationships adeleorinid within Apicomplexa . The current study was attempted order perform investigation hemoparasites thirty European pond turtles ( Emys orbicularis) from quarantine section at Belgrade Zoo, which have been found poor...
The aim of the study was to characterize multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli isolates collected in Serbia from bovine clinical mastitis cases and diseased pigs, mainly with molecular methods. A total 48 E. during years 2013-2014, which 22 were MDR included further analysis. Phylogenetic typing showed that 17 belonged group A, while two classified B1 a single one D. All unique macrorestriction patterns. Phenotypic susceptibility testing revealed resistances against up 13 antimicrobial...
Abstract The presence of bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) was examined in 119 nasal swabs collected from cattle with severe respiratory infection. All samples were conducted for isolation on the MDBK cell line. cytopathic effect observed after 48h to 72h cells inoculated eight (8/119; 6.7%). confirmation isolated strains BPIV3 done by virus-neutralization test. In addition, all also using RT-PCR primers specific part HN gene. detected 6.7%) that positive upon isolation. molecular...
Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of numerous epidemics and sporadic cases illness in humans. Food principal route infection. Raw materials animal vegetable origin are potential sources contamination with this bacterium, particularly foodstuff undergoing minimal processing procedures. However, recent years, emphasis has been increasingly laid on importance post-processing occurring through contact products contaminated surfaces food-processing plants, where bacterium can persist...
A prerequisite to the development of an efficient animal health, food safety and traceability management system in production chain is implementation integrated veterinary informational (VIMS) capable for capture, storage, analysis retrieval data providing opportunity cumulative gathering knowledge capability its competent interpretation. Such a will enable collecting appropriate data, including quality inspection controls, from all establishments commodities 'from farm fork' (farms,...
Being an important pathogenic and indicator microorganism, E. coli has been included in all the resistance follow up programs worldwide. We carried out sampling on 42 cattle, pig poultry farms. After material was delivered to laboratories, where it exposed standard treatment streaking by methods of microbiological diagnostics with aim isolate identify strains. On selected isolated strains investigation its sensitivity a certain number antimicrobial agents (ampicillin, tetracycline,...
Abstract Porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) are diverse and persistently evolving viruses found in domestic pigs wild boars. parvovirus 1 (PPV1) causes reproductive problems adult animals, although the veterinary relevance of PPV2, PPV3, PPV4 has not been clarified. The detection sequence analysis PPVs circulating boar populations Serbia was performed to determine their phylogenetic relationships prevalence 122 organ samples collected during 2018. DNA PPV1, PPV3 detected 56.6% examined samples,...
Abstract The presence of porcine circovirus 2 and parvovirus was examined in forty clinical samples spleen, lymph nodes lungs originating from non-vaccinated swine by polymerase chain reaction. All animals were reared extensive livestock farming systems different geographical districts Republic Srpska, Bosnia Herzegovina. Porcine DNA detected four node two spleen (15%), while identified five (12.5%). both viruses three (7.5%). Partial nucleotide sequence ORF1 gene VP2 isolates determined....
The presence of equine herpesviruses 1, 2 and 5 (EHV-1, EHV-2 EHV-5) was examined in 66 samples spinal cord, submandibular lymph nodes spleen healthy, non-vaccinated abattoir horses from different locations the Republic Serbia. Virus isolation conducted on RK-13 cell line with confirmation isolated viral strains by multiplex nested polymerase chain reaction. cytopathic effect observed 48–72 h after first inoculation 28 (42.4%) organ samples, days 11 other (16.7%) that were all confirmed as...
Abstract Resistance to tetracycline was studied in Salmonella Infantis isolated from 28 poultry farms the Northern part of Serbia (The Autonomous Province Vojvodina). A total 18 isolates were resistant nalidixic acid (NAL) and (TET). The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) TET, ranged 1-256 mg/L. Namely, 13 exhibited MIC TET at 256 mg/L, four isolates, 128 mg/L one isolate had 64 Ten exhibiting a 1mg/L. It evident that also spread breeders layers. In this work, we detected tetA gene...
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the most important viral pathogens avian species and causative agent atypical fowl plague, a highly contagious economically characterized by high mortality rates reduction egg production. The HN F proteins are main targets for immune response to NDV. Vaccination poultry with live inactivated NDV vaccines effective method control prevention disease, however due their disadvantages, efforts being invested into developing subunit vaccines. To this end,...
Infections caused by the avian influenza virus have been known for a long time and they are present, to smaller or greater extent, in both extensive intensive poultry production many parts of world. Epidemiological investigations established definite significance population wild birds maintaining spreading this infection. Avian is zoonosis, has great potential causing mortality humans, particular its subtypes H5 H7, which why it lately provoking much attention among scientists experts, as...
Abstract The presence of pseudorabies virus (PrV), porcine parvovirus (PPV) and circovirus 2 (PCV2) was examined in sixty samples (spleen lymph nodes) thirty sacral ganglia collected from non-vaccinated swine by isolation polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Using PCR method PrV detected three samples, PPV seven six were found positive for PCV2. phylogenetic analysis the nucleotide sequences isolates identified this study showed high similarity significant clustering within genotype I strains...
Abstract The escalating global concern of antimicrobial resistance in human and veterinary medicine is exacerbated by the inappropriate prescription antibiotics for bacterial infections companion animals. This study aimed to determine distribution coagulase-positive staphylococci causing clinical skin ear dogs methicillin-resistant isolates. A total 78 staphylococcal strains were isolated from samples taken patients at Dermatology Clinic Faculty Veterinary Medicine Belgrade, Serbia....
Abstract Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), is one of the most prevalent and economically damaging bacterial diseases affecting poultry globally. Managing colibacillosis difficult frequently ineffective because APEC strains have developed widespread resistance to antibiotics, strict regulations public concerns towards using antimicrobial agents in further complicate situation. This study aimed evaluate antibacterial properties hydrolysable (sweet chestnut...
