Biosecurity is an essential tool for rearing healthy animals. measures (BMs) are well known in poultry production, but it difficult to assess actual implementation on farms. The aims of this qualitative study were (1) provide overview biosecurity according farmers Europe; and (2) better understand the reported reasons potential obstacles not implementing measures. In seven European Union Member States, 192 (118 under contract with a company 68 independents) working different categories...
The neuropathological background of major depression and anxiety as non-motor symptoms Parkinson's disease is much less understood than classical motor symptoms. Although, neurodegeneration the Edinger-Westphal nucleus in human a known phenomenon, its possible significance mood status has never been elucidated. In this work we aimed at investigating whether neuron loss alpha-synuclein accumulation urocortin 1 containing (UCN1) cells centrally-projecting (EWcp) associated with depression-like...
The spread of antimicrobial resistance is one the most serious human and animal health problems our time. Propolis a natural substance with antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic activity, active components which are polyphenols terpenoids. In present study, authors investigated efficacy propolis against Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus Escherichia coli Salmonella enterica, Candida albicans fungi, Trichomonas gallinae isolated from pigeons. For each pathogen, minimum inhibitory...
Compliance with required on-farm biosecurity practices reduces the risk of contamination and spread zoonotic economically important diseases. With repeating avian influenza epidemics in poultry industry, need to monitor improve overall level is increasing. In practice, compliance assessed by various actors (e.g., academic, private public institutions), results such assessments may be recorded gathered databases which are seldom shared or thoroughly analyzed. This study aimed provide an...
Poultry producers’ attitudes towards biosecurity practices were assessed by using the ADKAR® (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement) behavioral change model. Conventional poultry producers (n = 155) from different production types including broilers 35), layers 22), breeders 24), turkeys 19), ducks 23), free-range 11), hatcheries 10) seven European countries scored for each ADKAR element (1 total absence to 5 perfect fulfilment). Each country performed selected...
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges our time, urging researchers in both veterinary and public health to engage collaborative efforts, thereby fostering One Health approach. Infections caused by Staphylococcus species can not only lead significant diseases poultry but also pose serious threats human life, particularly hospital (nosocomial) infections; therefore, it crucial identify their antimicrobial resistance. Our objective was assess susceptibility profile...
Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates collaborative approaches between animals, their environment, and public health sectors, fostering the One Health concept. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a zoonotic, facultative pathogenic bacterium. Its significance underlines need for regular monitoring different strains causing clinical disease, especially in poultry, more specifically chickens, which have become critical source animal protein. Methods:...
Background: The poultry industry is one of the most rapidly growing sectors, producing highest amount animal-derived protein per unit time while also being second-largest consumer antibiotics. widespread and accelerating spread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) underscores necessity regular monitoring studies. Periodic assessments, especially focusing on commensal strains, can serve as indicators emerging patterns. Methods: This study assesses susceptibility profiles putative Staphylococcus...
Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has prompted the critical importance regular monitoring. Escherichia coli, a widely distributed facultative anaerobic pathogen, is significant both in terms clinical diseases that it causes and as reservoir resistance, with notable implications for animal public health. Within poultry industry, turkey sector an emerging internationally branch. Methods: Our objective was to assess profile commensal coli strains isolated from...
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a serious global challenge in the 21st century. Poultry, including turkeys, are vital source of animal-derived protein worldwide. Commensal bacterial strains poultry can act as reservoirs for AMR, making monitoring them crucial both veterinary and public health. Enterococcus species emerging pathogens, particularly severe nosocomial infections. Methods: This study aimed to assess profiles commensal isolated (n = 470) from large-scale...
Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance is one the defining challenges our time. Preserving efficacy antibiotics a shared responsibility, which includes conducting regular surveillance studies. poultry industry, produces highest quantity animal-derived protein in shortest time, faces significant from Escherichia coli, bacterium frequently responsible for clinical disease. Methods: This study aimed to assess susceptibility E. coli isolates collected cases turkeys across...
Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains one the greatest challenges our time, necessitating collaboration among professionals in both animal and public health sectors. One bacterial species that is developing AMR Clostridium perfringens. It causes serious infections continues to cause significant economic losses poultry industry. Methods: This study aimed evaluate susceptibility profiles commensal C. perfringens strains isolated from large-scale turkey flocks...
Background: Avian influenza (AI), caused by orthomyxoviruses, is a globally significant disease affecting avian and non-avian species. It manifests in two variants, according to the biovariants of virus differentiated as highly pathogenic (HPAI) low (LPAI) strains, both which compromise animal welfare, reduce productivity, cause substantial economic loss. The zoonotic potential HPAI particularly currently dominant clade 2.3.4.4b, raises concerns about public health epidemic risks. This...
The hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is the main regulator of stress response. key HPA parvocellular paraventricular nucleus hypothalamus (pPVN) controlled by higher-order limbic centers. reactivity considered to be a function age, but date, little known about background this age-dependency. Sporadic literature data suggest that sensitivity as assessed semi-quantitation neuronal activity marker c-Fos may also influenced age. Here, we aimed at investigating and immunoreactivity 2 h...
The neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) has two active forms, PACAP1-27 and PACAP1-38. Among the well-established actions are PACAP's neurotrophic neuroprotective effects, which have also been proven in models of different retinopathies. route delivery is usually intravitreal studies proving retinoprotective effects. Recently, we shown that delivered as eye drops benzalkonium-chloride was able to cross ocular barriers exert retinoprotection ischemia. Since...
Purpose: Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is neuroprotective in neuronal injuries. Bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) causes chronic hypoperfusion-induced degeneration the rat retina, where we proved retinoprotective effect of intravitreal PACAP. Although this route administration a clinical practice several diseases, easier routes are clinically important. Our aim was to investigate potential effects PACAP eye drops BCCAO-induced ischemic...
Background: Recent data suggest that an increased prevalence of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) producing CD4+ cells is present in obesity. Regulatory T (Tregs) have a strong impact on activation and proliferation lymphocytes. Data are not available about Tregs their possible contribution to chronic mild inflammation
Cathelicidin-2 is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) produced as part of the innate immune system chickens and might be a new candidate to combat infection inflammation within gut-liver axis. Studying hepatic response high importance liver primarily exposed gut-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The aim present study was assess effects chicken cathelicidin-2 alone or combined with lipoteichoic acid (LTA) phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on cell viability, redox homeostasis in primary...
