Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a Culicoides-borne of domestic and wild ruminants caused by EHD virus (EHDV). This circulates in multiple serotypes. In late September 2021, novel strain belonging to EHDV-8 was reported cattle farms Central–Western Tunisia, the fall 2022, same also detected Italy Spain. present study, we described occurrence deer and, preliminary identification potential Culicoides species responsible for transmission selected areas Tunisia. identified carcasses found...
Low-pathogenic human coronaviruses (HCoVs) infect the upper respiratory tract and cause mild, cold-like illness. Although several studies have shown evidence of global distribution HCoVs, information about their in Italy are often focused only on hospitalized children elderly with symptoms. In this study, a total 916 swab samples collected during first two SARS-CoV-2 pandemic waves Abruzzo region (central Italy) was selected for molecular screening low pathogenic HCoVs by real-time RT-PCR....
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 8 (EHDV-8) emerged in Europe for the first time late 2022. In this study, we investigated kinetics of EHDV-8 infection cattle, sheep, and goats. Following experimental with EHDV-8, four out five calves displayed fever, while another calf exhibited ulcerative crusty lesions muzzle. RNAemia peaked at day 7 post all remained relatively stable till end 78 days infection. Infectious was isolated up to 21 one calf. As far as small ruminants are...
Vesiviruses are important animal pathogens with a broad host range, and they have also been involved in accidental contamination of cells used for the production drugs rare life-threatening human diseases. A vesivirus (family Caliciviridae) was detected minks (Neovison vison) respiratory neurological signs, during syndromic surveillance SARS-CoV-2 conducted Italy. The complete genome (8,397 nucleotides length) strain ITA/2021/mink/TE (OR130287) obtained by combining NGS approach 5' 3' RACE...
Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a highly infectious that represents threat for domestic dogs and several wild species. Despite recognized in African countries, current knowledge of its molecular epidemiology scarce poorly updated.
West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu (USUV), two antigenically related flaviviruses co-circulating in Europe, can cause severe neurological disease animals humans. The immune response against USUV WNV their immunopathogenesis are still poorly investigated. Here we present results upon sequential infections of adult immunocompetent CD-1 BALB/c mice primed with different doses (high dose, HD or low LD) an isolate challenged LD three isolates. USUV-primed mice, regardless the largely protected from...
The rapid emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ( Kp ) strains in diverse environmental niches, even outside the clinical setting, poses a challenge for detection and real-time monitoring novel antimicrobial resistance trends using molecular whole genome sequencing-based methods. aim our study was to understand cryptic determinants responsible phenotypic carbapenem observed circulating Italy by combined approach involving sequencing (WGS) genome-wide association (GWAS). In...
