Abstract In Poland, African swine fever (ASF) emerged in February 2014; by August 2015, the virus had been detected >130 wild boar and pigs 3 backyard holdings. We evaluated ASF spread Poland during these 18 months. Phylogenetic analysis indicated repeated incursions of genetically distinct viruses genotype II; number cases positively correlated density; disease was very slow. More were reported summer than autumn. The 18-month prevalence areas under various animal movement restrictions...
African swine fever virus (ASFV) was detected in wild boar eastern Poland early 2014. So far, 65 cases of ASFV infection have been recognised. The methods used for detection included highly specific real-time PCR with a universal probe library (UPL), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and an immunoperoxidase test (IPT) identification anti-ASFV antibodies. positive ASF were located near the border Belarus Sokółka Białystok counties. Some countermeasures disease prevention include...

In studied period, fourteen cases two outbreaks backyard confirmed. addition results laboratory tests performed 2014, article describes surveillance programme carried out 2011-2013. compared...
Wild birds are considered as a reservoir for avian chlamydiosis posing potential infectious threat to domestic poultry and humans. Analysis of 894 cloacal or fecal swabs from free-living in Poland revealed an overall Chlamydiaceae prevalence 14.8% (n = 132) with the highest noted Anatidae (19.7%) Corvidae (13.4%). Further testing conducted species-specific real-time PCR showed that 65 samples (49.2%) were positive C. psittaci whereas only one was avium. To classify non-identified chlamydial...
Abstract African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious, notifiable viral disease, which considered significant threat not only for European, but also worldwide pork production, since recently the virus emerged within numerous Chinese pig herds. The disease was introduced in Poland 2014 and up to end of 2018, 213 outbreaks pigs 3347 cases wild boars have been reported. presented study describes whole genome sequencing seven Polish isolates, collected between 2016 2017, using next generation (NGS)...
Abstract Introduction Repeated incursions of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5 subtype Gs/GD lineage pose a serious threat to poultry worldwide. We provide detailed analysis the spatio-temporal spread and genetic characteristics HPAIV H5N8 from 2019/20 epidemic in Poland. Material methods Samples free-living birds were tested by real-time RT-PCR. Whole genome sequences 24 (out 35) outbreaks generated relatedness was established. The clinical status possible pathways analysed...
Since April 2020, when the first SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported in mink and subsequently farm workers Netherlands, it has been confirmed that human-to-mink mink-to-human transmission can occur. Later, infections were many European North American countries.Samples from 590 a total of 28 farms tested by real-time RT-PCR. Whole genome sequences one positive generated genetic relatedness established.SARS-CoV-2 RNA detected on breeder with stock 5,850 mink. Active viraemia individually samples...
Abstract The study reports the development of a polymerase cross-linking spiral reaction (PCLSR) for detection African swine fever virus (ASFV) DNA in blood collected from infected pigs and wild boars. method uses 3 specifically designed primers. Two outer-spiral primers comprising 3′ sequences complementary to ASFV p72 gene sequence 5′end exogenous black widow alpha-latrotoxin as well additional specific primer. is exclusively without cross-reactions with cDNA classical (CSFV), porcine...
African swine fever (ASF) is considered a major threat to the production of pigs worldwide. The ASF aetiological agent, ASFV, sole member Asfivirus genus, belonging Asfarviridae family. An effective vaccine not currently available, thus only measures spread control include, reliable and fast diagnosis. Officially approved, diagnostic methods virus isolation, serological assays, including enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay immunoperoxidase (IPT) different modifications polymerase chain...
Four and a half years of African Swine Fever (ASF) in population free-ranging wild boars domestic pigs revealed number novel insights into the disease epidemiology. Until No- vember 20th, 2018, total 3048 cases 213 outbreaks have been confirmed. In spite low contagiosity as well rate ASF spread has an enormous socio-economical impact on production Poland. One most important aspects which directly influences dynamics is unpredictable hu- man activity. Another factor responsible for continuous...
Q fever is a worldwide zoonotic disease reported in humans and many animal species including cattle. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence Coxiella (C.) burnetii shedding Polish dairy cattle herds identify pathogen's genotypes sequence types (STs) using multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) multispacer typing (MST) methods. presence C.

We report detection of a highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) clade 2.3.4.4b virus in Europe. This was generated by reassortment between H5N8 subtype from sub-Saharan Africa and low pathogenicity viruses Eurasia.
A variety of Chlamydia species belonging to the Chlamydiaceae family have been reported in birds. Until recently, C. psittaci was considered be most common avian species, although found both birds and mammals, while abortus has only mammals. Recently, a new group strains with worldwide distribution various wild bird families described. In this study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) three these (15-70d24, 15-49d3 15-58d44, representing genotypes G1, G2 1V, respectively) that were isolated from...
