In recent years, cases of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection have increased in Europe association with the consumption contaminated food, mainly from pork products but also wild boars. The animal's serum is usually tested for presence anti-HEV antibodies and viral RNA but, many such as during hunting, an adequate sample cannot be obtained. present study, liver transudate was evaluated alternative matrix to HEV detection. A total 125 sera transudates were by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...
Bovine infectious infertility represents a problem due to the high impact on animal production and, in many cases, public health. A lack of information characteristics bacterial population bovine reproductive system can hamper comprehensive understanding pathologies and role that microbiome could play. metagenomic study based V3-V4 hypervariable region 16S rRNA gene was performed 1029 preputial samples from bulls raised an extensive regimen Spain (944 herds with low fertility rates -case...
The parasite T. foetus causes trichomonosis in cattle but is generally asymptomatic males. Thus, many bulls carrying the disease go unnoticed, making detection of an important aspect for its control. Due to drawbacks posed by cultivation, PCR a preferred option diagnostic laboratories. Most published protocols target genomic region compring 18S, 5.8S, and 28S rRNA genes internal transcribed spacers 1 2 (rRNA-ITS region), homologous that other Tritrichomonas species. There minimal information...
Abstract The isolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis (Cfv) from clinical samples is the gold standard for confirming cases bovine genital campylobacteriosis, an important cause infertility in cattle and a potential public health concern. Furthermore, also necessary development autologous vaccines, characterization strains antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, etc. Nevertheless, sensitivity culture methods usually low, there no standardized protocol to maximize recovery Cfv...
