Guerra continua contra el enemigo invisible

El enemigo invisible


La humanidad se ha enfrentado a lo largo de su historia a virus y bacterias que la han diezmado y han puesto en jaque su supervivencia. Ahora, la globalización y el cambio climático favorecen que los patógenos salten de un extremo al otro del mundo en horas y que sean capaces de provocar rápidamente una epidemia…

Técnicas microbiológicas de detección de microorganismos multirresistentes en animales, alimentos y muestras ambientales

New article published in Procedimientos


La resistencia a los antibióticos es un grave problema de Salud Pública que pone en peligro el tratamiento de infecciones causadas por diferentes especies de microorganismos, incluidas muchas bacterias oportunistas. En el ámbito clínico hay mecanismos de resistencia que preocupan a la comunidad científica y a las autoridades sanitarias, como es el caso de las betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE) y las betalactamasas de tipo AmpC de codificación plasmídica (pAmpC) en enterobacterias, o el caso de las carbapenemasas y de la resistencia plasmídica a la colistina en enterobacterias o en ba… Read more

Importance of Ecological Factors and Colony Handling for Optimizing Health Status of Apiaries in Mediterranean Ecosystems

PLoS ONE publish this investigation article


We analyzed six apiaries in several natural environments with a Mediterranean ecosystem in Madrid, central Spain, in order to understand how landscape and management characteristics may influence apiary health and bee production in the long term. We focused on five criteria (habitat quality, landscape heterogeneity, climate, management and health), as well as 30 subcriteria, and we used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to rank them according to relevance. Habitat quality proved to have the highest relevance, followed by beehive management. Within habitat quality, the following subcriteria … Read more

Expresión de granzima B y BCL2 en el linfoma intestinal felino

Beatriz Arranz Hierro defended this Degree Final Project


Los tumores hematopoyéticos son las neoplasias más frecuente en la especie felina. Este estudio retrospectivo (1995-2016) se han incluido en 17 gatos (muestras de biopsias y necropsias) con linfomas intestinales (primario o multicéntrico) obtenidas en el Hospital Clínico Veterinario (Facultad de Veterinaria – UCM) y Gattos Centro Clínico Felino. En ellas se han estudiado sus características epidemiológicas, clínicas, histopatológicas, inmunofenotípicas, así como la expresión de las oncoproteínas Ki-67, Granzima B, Pax5, BCL2 y el marcador leucocitario CD3. Se ha prestado especial atención a lo… Read more

Epidemiology and Infection

Molecular characterization and antimicrobial resistance of STEC strains isolated from healthy cattle in 2011 and 2013 in Spain

Epidemiology and Infection publish this investigation article


Prevention of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) foodborne outbreaks is hampered by its complex epidemiology. We assessed the distribution of virulence genes (VGs), main serogroups/serotypes for public health [haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS)-related], antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns in a collection of STEC isolates obtained from cattle hide (n = 149) and faecal (n = 406) samples collected during a national survey conducted in Spain in 2011 and 2013. Isolates were cultured using McConkey and CT-SMAC agar after enrichment,… Read more

Constant Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) Circulation in Wild Boar and Red Deer in Spain: An Increasing Concern Source of HEV Zoonotic Transmission

Investigation article published in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases


Hepatitis E is a viral zoonosis that affects multiple hosts. The complete dynamics of infection in wildlife are still unknown, but the previous fact facilitates the maintenance and circulation of the virus, posing a risk to human health in the case of meat consumption from susceptible animals. In Spain, it has been shown how domestic pigs, cattle and wildlife (i.e. wild boar and red deer) clearly interact in hunting farms, generating a complex epidemiological situation in terms of interspecies pathogen transmission. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to (i) evaluate the circulation of the viru… Read more

Detection of African Swine Fever Antibodies in Experimental and Field Samples from the Russian Federation: Implications for Control

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases publish this investigation article


African swine fever (ASF) re-entered in Europe in 2007 by Georgia rapidly affecting neighbouring countries. Since then, ASF has caused severe problems to the Russian Federation (RF) and spread to Northern and Western regions, including Ukraine (2012 and 2014) and Belarus (2013). At the beginning of 2014, dead wild boars were found in Lithuania and Poland. Several outbreaks have been later notified in the European Union(EU), affecting domestic pigs and wild boar of Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, and also wild boar in Estonia, causing major problems for the EU pig sector. Some studies have been p… Read more

Identification of Suitable Areas for African Horse Sickness Virus Infections in Spanish Equine Populations

Investigation published in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases


African horse sickness (AHS) is one of the most important vector-borne viral infectious diseases of equines, transmitted mainly by Culicoides spp. The re-emergence of Culicoides-borne diseases in Europe, such as the recent bluetongue (BT) or Schmallenberg outbreaks, has raised concern about the potential re-introduction and further spread of AHS virus (AHSV) in Europe. Spain has one of the largest European equine populations. In addition, its geographical, environmental and entomological conditions favour AHSV infections, as shown by the historical outbreaks in the 1990s. The establishment of… Read more

Papel del ganadero en el mejor uso posible de antibióticos en ganado porcino

New article published in Sólo cerdo ibérico


La Unión Europea está muy sensibilizada ante los riesgos para la salud pública asociados al uso de antibióticos, tanto en personas como en animales, lo que se traduce en la paulatina adopción de medidas para combatir la resistencia a los antibióticos. Los antibióticos son medicamentos singulares que requieren un cuidado especial de uso que, en los animales, sólo pueden garantizar los veterinarios que los examinan y prescriben el tratamiento adecuado. Los ganaderos son responsables directos de adquirir los antibióticos prescritos por el veterinario de una fuente autorizada y de mantener actua… Read more
