Modeling classical swine fever spread using a spatial hybrid model
Oral communication in XXI Congreso de Ecuaciones Diferenciales y Aplicaciones (CEDYA)
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease of pigs and wild boars that causes severe commercial restrictions to the affected countries. The knowledge of spread patterns and risk factors that are involved in the transmission of CSF would help to implement specific measures and to reduce the disease spread in future outbreaks. In this article, we introduce a new spatial hybrid model developed for the spread of CSF. It is based on the combination of a stochastic individual Based model with a Susceptible-Infected model. The coefficients and parameters of the models are estima…

TB-STEP.Strategies for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis
Poster presented in VLA International Conference Animal Diseases 2009
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by microorganisms of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. This infection affects domestic and wild animals and represents a major concern worldwide because of its high economic impact due to mortalities, condemnations, decreases in productions, and its zoonotic potential.
Eradication programmes based on a test-and-slaughter policy have been implemented in the European Union, and have proved successful in some countries, however, has been unable to eradicate the infection in others despite the use of vast economical resources. A relevant prob…

Genetic and virulence-phenotype characterization of serotypes 2 and 9 of Streptococcus suis swine isolates
International Microbiology publish this investigation article
The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic characteristics and virulence phenotypes of Streptococcus suis, specifically, in clinical isolates of serotypes 2 and 9 (n = 195), obtained from diverse geographical areas across Spain. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing identified 97 genetic profiles, 68% of which were represented by single isolates, indicative of a substantial genetic diversity among the S. suis isolates analyzed. Five PFGE profiles accounted for 33.3% of the isolates and were isolated from 38% of the herds in nine different provinces, indicative of the bacterium`s…

Combined application of social network and cluster detection analyses for temporal-spatial characterization of animal movements in Salamanca, Spain
Investigation article published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Social network analysis was used in combination with techniques for detection of temporal-spatial clusters to identify operations at high risk of receiving or dispatching pigs, from January through December 2005, in the Spanish province of Salamanca. The temporal-spatial structure of the network was explicitly analyzed to estimate the statistical significance of observed clusters. Significant (P<0.01) temporal-spatial clusters identified were grouped into two compartments based on the nature and extent of the contacts among operations within the clusters. One of the compartments was identified…
