Una Boa constrictor colapsa una cañería
New post in SEVEMUR Blog
La luna llena ha sido y sigue siendo motivo principal de la vasta producción literaria, cinematográfica, astronómica y de otros campos como la mitología… Entre sus historias narrativas más conocidas por todos está la historia del hombre lobo. Aunque tampoco se escapan algunas románticas como el típico cuadro de los enamorados cantando a la luna. Sin embargo, todavía está por desarrollar la teoría de SEVEMUR, ¿por qué curiosamente las serpientes salen en luna llena? Tal y como declara un veterinario de SEVEMUR, “de todas las serpientes que he cogido hasta el momento, el 80 % han sido en luna ll…

Identifying equine premises at high risk of introduction of vector-borne diseases using geo-statistical and space-time analyses
Preventive Veterinary Medicine publish this investigation article
The identification of premises that may play an important role in the introduction or spread of animal diseases is fundamental to the development of risk-based surveillance and control programs. A combination of geo-statistical and cluster analysis methods was used to identify geographical areas and periods of time at highest risk for introduction of the African horse sickness virus (AHSV) into the Castile and Leon (CyL) region of Spain. Risk was estimated based on the predicted premises-specific abundance of Culicoides spp., a vector for AHSV, and on the frequency of equine introductions from…

Recomendaciones del ECDC y la EFSA sobre el brote de E. coli enterohemorrágica
New post in Blog Madri+d de Seguridad Alimentaria y Alimentación
El 22 de mayo de 2011, Alemania informó de un aumento significativo en el número de pacientes con síndrome hemolítico urémico (SHU) y diarrea con sangre causadas por E. coli productor de toxina Shiga (STEC). Desde el 2 de mayo se ha informado en Alemania de más de 400 casos de SUH y más de 1000 casos STEC. Varios paises europeos; Austria, República Checa, Dinamarca, Francia, Países Bajos, Noruega, Polonia, España, Suecia y el Reino Unido han informado de casos adicionales de SUH y STEC vinculados con el brote. Si bien los casos de SUH se observan generalmente en niños menores de 5 años de edad…

Prevalence of Salmonella and Yersinia in Free-Living Pied Flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) in Central Spain
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine publish this investigation article
Salmonella and Yersinia are important enteropathogens in poultry and can affect birds of all ages, including embryos. These food-borne zoonotic enteropathogens are of great economic and medical concern worldwide and are intensely studied in poultry. Information regarding the prevalence of these bacteria in wild birds is scarce and biased toward avian species ecologically linked to humans, which have often been incriminated as both reservoirs and disseminators of these enteropathogens. The prevalence of Salmonella and Yersinia recovered from both the feces and eggs in a population of female pie…

Prevalence of potentially pathogenic culturable bacteria on eggshells and in cloacae of female Pied Flycatchers in a temperate habitat in central Spain
Journal of Field Ornithology publish this investigation article
Bacteria grow on avian eggshells and thus can potentially cause diseases in developing embryos. Little is known about culturable bacteria colonizing avian eggshells in free-living birds, with most studies restricted to poultry. Our objective was to examine the culturable bacterial array growing on eggshells during incubation that could negatively affect hatching success of Pied Flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) in a temperate montane habitat in central Spain. Cloacal culturable bacteria of females were also analyzed because bacteria can be vertically transmitted from females to eggs. We used fe…

Molecular characterization of spa type t127, sequence type 1 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from pigs
Investigation article published in The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy
Objectives The aim of this study was to provide molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) spa type t127, sequence type (ST) 1 isolates, detected in a European baseline survey in holdings of breeding pigs, to determine phenotypic and genotypic drug resistance and to compare the results with those obtained from a collection of t127, ST1 MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) clinical isolates. Methods Twenty-four t127, ST1 MRSA from dust sampled in different breeding holdings in Italy, Spain and Cyprus were studied, along with 2 t127, ST1 MRSA fr…

The testing season affects red deer skinfold increase in response to phytohaemagglutinin
Preventive Veterinary Medicine publish this investigation article
Red deer (Cervus elaphus) have a pronounced seasonality in their physiology. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the season on red deer responsiveness to skin testing with the phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) mitogen. Study subjects included 270 farmed adult red deer (19 stags and 251 hinds). The skin testing was carried out between January 2009 and August 2010. The animals were injected intradermally with a 0.1ml volume containing 250μg of PHA diluted in phosphate buffered saline. The skinfold thickness was measured immediately prior to injection and 72h after administration, alwa…

Analysis of the spatial variation of Bovine tuberculosis disease risk in Spain (2006-2009)
Investigation published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine
In this study we explored the spatial variation of Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) risk of being positive, new positive or persistently positive, as well as the risk of eliminating BTB in positive herds throughout Spain from 2006 to 2009 by means of hierarchical Bayesian models. The results of the models showed that the risk of infection (positive or new positive herds), persistence and elimination was lower in counties located in north and north-eastern of Spain, and in the Balearic and Canary islands than in the rest of the country. In some counties the risk of positivity was high during the four …
