Alcaligenes faecalis is a Gram-negative, obligate aerobic bacillus commonly found in environmental settings, particularly soil and water, as well within the intestinal microbiota of humans various animal species. This bacterium has potential to act an opportunistic pathogen, capable causing severe infections both animals, which can sometimes result fatal outcomes. Notably, A. often characterized by high degree antibiotic resistance, complicating treatment efforts. In current study, we...
Streptococcus intermedius is a Gram-positive coccus usually found in the normal digestive or respiratory flora of humans and some animal species, including rabbits. In conditions immunosuppression, it can cause serious infections that be difficult to treat even lead death if not treated properly. S. intermedius-induced must taken seriously, proper treatment needs provided as soon patient diagnosed, because otherwise, these evolve such dramatic way result patient. This study reports case...
Introduction: Ostrich farming is increasingly recognized for its economic potential but poses significant health challenges due to the risk of pathogen transmission, including multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli. Case study: This study reports a case four-month-old female ostrich from western Romania presenting with severe respiratory and digestive infections, progressing septicemia death. A post-mortem examination revealed extensive mucus in trachea, pulmonary congestion, hemorrhagic...
Globally, due to climate change, urbanization, and the intensification of interactions between humans animals, tick populations have increased, areas where these arthropod vectors can develop transmit diseases expanded. Ixodidae ticks infect a wide variety species serve as major for zoonotic pathogens veterinary importance. This study aimed identify map collected from boar tails in six Romanian counties. A total 141 were identified differentiated on basis their morphological characteristics...
Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is an endemic tick-borne disease found in most countries around the world. It affects all species of Equidae, and it caused by Theileria equi, Babesia caballi T. haneyi. The research herein second study on prevalence piroplasms Romania conducted past two decades. aim this was to assess seroprevalence anti-Theileria equi antibodies geographical distribution southwest, west, northwest regions order obtain a more thorough understanding parasitological status horses...
Babesia caballi is a tick-borne hemoparasite that causes equine piroplasmosis. It has significant economic impact, decreasing performance and affecting animal welfare. This study aimed to identify B. DNA in the blood of horses from households southwestern western regions Romania. We included 310 animals, which was collected via EDTA. To test samples for parasite genome, we used real-time PCR conventional PCR. The prevalence 5.81% (18/310) apparently healthy horses, suggesting this enzootic...
Theileria equi is one of the aetiological agents responsible for EP and transmitted by ticks to horses, mules, donkeys zebras. Clinical signs are often nonspecific can easily be confused with other pathologies. Although acute, sub-acute chronic forms have been described, most common situation in equines that asymptomatic carrier, characterized undetectable or extremely low parasitaemia lack clinical signs. Identification parasitic agent done both direct methods molecular serological methods....
