Método VISAVET, diferenciación histológica de preparados y productos cárnicos
Revista de la Asociación Nacional de Industrias de la Carne de España publish this article
Con la introducción de una nueva técnica basada en la imagen histológica para discriminar entre preparados y productos cárnicos, surgió un problema técnico derivado de las categorizaciones de la carne como productos transformados y sin transformar. En este contexto, la Asociación Nacional de Industrias de la Carne de España (ANICE) solicitó al centro Visavet de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid el desarrollo de un método analítico basado en el análisis histológico de las muestras, que permitiera diferenciar de forma objetiva y fiable preparados de carne y productos cárnicos, el cual se expo…

First Stranding Event of a Common Minke Whale Calf, Balaenoptera acutorostrata Lacépède, 1804, Reported in Spanish Mediterranean Waters
Mammal Study publish this investigation article
At least six mysticete species have been reported to date in the Mediterranean Sea (Notarbartolo di Sciara and Birkun 2010). The fin whale, Balaenoptera physalus, is the only mysticete species with a stable population in the Mediterranean Sea, which differs genetically from Atlantic populations (Giménez et al. 2013 and references therein). Other mysticete species have been previously recorded as either sighted or stranded in this area (Notarbartolo di Sciara and Birkun 2010). The humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae, and the common minke whale, B. acutorostrata, are considered rare visitors …

Lack of interference with diagnostic testing for tuberculosis in goats experimentally exposed to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
Investigation article published in The Veterinary Journal
It has been suggested that infection with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), might interfere with diagnostic testing for tuberculosis (TB), due to antigenic similarities between this particular type of bacterium and those expressed by mycobacteria. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether experimental infection with C. pseudotuberculosis in goats impacted on TB testing, using single and comparative intradermal tuberculin (SIT and SCIT respectively) tests and interferon (IFN)-γ assay. No positive reactors were detect…

Small-Plasmid-Mediated Antibiotic Resistance Is Enhanced by Increases in Plasmid Copy Number and Bacterial Fitness
Investigation article published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
Plasmids play a key role in the horizontal spread of antibiotic resistance determinants among bacterial pathogens. When an antibiotic-resistance plasmid arrives to a new bacterial host it produces a fitness cost, causing a competitive disadvantage for the plasmid-bearing bacterium in the absence of antibiotics. On the other hand, in the presence of antibiotics the plasmid promotes the survival of the clone. The adaptations experienced by plasmid and bacteria in the presence of antibiotics during the first generations of coexistence will be crucial for the progress of the infection and the main…

Escherichia coli O157:H7 in wild boars (Sus scrofa) and Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) sharing pastures with free-ranging livestock in a natural environment in Spain
Investigation article published in The Veterinary quarterly
Background: Wild ungulates have greatly increased in abundance and range throughout Europe. This new situation presents a concern for public health because many wild ungulates are known reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens.
Objectives: In this work, we tested for the presence of the zoonotic pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7 in free-ranging livestock and sympatric wild boars (Sus scrofa) and Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) in NE Spain from 2009 to 2011. In addition, antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors were assessed.
Animals and methods: In total, individual fecal samples were obtained …

Assessing the risk of African swine fever introduction into the European Union by wild boar
Investigation published in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases
The presence of African swine fever (ASF) in the Caucasus region and Russian Federation has increased concerns that wild boars may introduce the ASF virus into the European Union (EU). This study describes a semi-quantitative approach for evaluating the risk of ASF introduction into the EU by wild boar movements based on the following risk estimators: the susceptible population of (1) wild boars and (2) domestic pigs in the country of origin; the outbreak density in (3) wild boars and (4) domestic pigs in the countries of origin, the (5) suitable habitat for wild boars along the EU border; and…
