Acuicultura: Horizonte Veterinario
New post published in Blog Madri+d de Seguridad Alimentaria y Alimentación
Del 30 de julio al 3 de agosto de 2012 tendrá lugar en Santander el Curso de Ciencias Experimentales Acuicultura: Horizonte veterinario dentro de los III Cursos de Verano organizados por la Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir.
La acuicultura es una actividad de reciente incorporación a las producciones animales que requiere un elevado grado de innovación y formación continua; esta especialización afecta tanto al propio medio de cría como a las especies en aspectos productivos como la nutrición, alimentación y gestión sanitaria de las granjas acuícolas.
La nutricción y aliment…

Molecular identification of tick-borne pathogens in Nigerian ticks
Veterinary Parasitology publish this investigation article
A molecular epidemiology investigation was undertaken in two Nigerian states (Plateau and Nassarawa) to determine the prevalence of pathogens of veterinary and public health importance associated with ticks collected from cattle and dogs using PCR, cloning and sequencing or reverse line blot techniques. A total of 218 tick samples, Amblyomma variegatum (N=153), Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus (N=45), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (N=20) were sampled. Pathogens identified in ticks included piroplasmids (Babesia spp., Babesia bigemina and Babesia divergens), Anaplasma marginale and Ricketts…

Development of multispecies serological assays to detect antibodies specific for Mycobacterium bovis in serum samples
Poster communication in 2nd Congress of the European Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (EAVLD)
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic bacterial disease of animals and humans caused by M. bovis. In a large number of countries bovine tuberculosis is a major infectious disease among cattle, other domesticated animals, and certain wildlife populations. Transmission to humans constitutes a public health problem. For years eradication programmes have been carried out. Traditional mycobacterium culture remains the gold standard method for routine confirmation of infection but
Delayed Hypersensitivity test and gamma-interferon test are the ones used in these programmes. Detection of antibodies…

Chryseobacterium tructae sp. nov., isolated from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Investigation article published in Systematic and Applied Microbiology
Three pale-orange bacteria (strains 1083-08, 1084-08(T) and 1095B-08) were isolated from diseased rainbow trout. The isolates were Gram-staining-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped cells. Analyses of their 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed their adscription to the genus Chryseobacterium. The three isolates shared 100% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 98.5% similarity with Chryseobacterium indologenes CCUG 14556(T), being the closest phylogenetically related species. Genomic DNA-DNA hybridization similarity values between the three isolates were 94-100% and 2-39% between s…

Evaluation of four protocols for the detection and isolation of thermophilic Campylobacter from different matrices
Investigation article published in Journal of Applied Microbiology
To identify the optimal method for detection of thermophilic Campylobacter at various stages in the food chain, three culture-dependent (direct plating, Bolton and Preston enrichment) and one molecular method (qPCR) were compared for three matrices: poultry faeces (n=38), neck skin (n=38) and packed fresh meat (n=38). Methods and Results: Direct plating was compared to enrichment with either Bolton broth (ISO 10272:2006-1) or Preston broth, followed by culture on two selective agars: modified Charcoal Cefoperazone Desoxycholate Agar (mCCDA) and Campyfood agar (CFA). Direct plating on CFA provi…

Detección precoz de mortalidad en producciones avícolas empleando termografía de alta resolución
Presentation by Alejandro Blas Morente to obtain the Master of Research. Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Complutense University of Madrid
La imagen termográfica es una técnica basada en la conversión del espectro de radiación infrarroja de un objeto a imágenes visibles para su posterior análisis. Las variaciones de temperatura que se producen en los cuerpos de los animales tras la muerte permiten suponer que la imagen térmica infrarroja dinámica sería un procedimiento adecuado para la identificación de aves muertas o moribundas en instalaciones comerciales. Mantener las condiciones ambientales dentro del rango de confort térmico de gallinas (12-24ºC) es un objetivo que se facilitaría mediante la supervisión continua y multidistr…
