Influence of multiple factors on hematologic reference intervals in horses residing in livery yards in Spain
Investigation published in Veterinary Clinical Pathology
The hemogram is a routine analysis for equine veterinary practitioners in the assessment of patient clinical status. Reference intervals (RIs) of hematologic constituents vary according to different horse populations and are often described for a particular breed or horse type. The aims of this study were to determine RIs for hematologic constituents in a mixed-breed horse population residing in livery yards in central Spain and evaluate the associations between estimated RIs and multiple phenotypic and management characteristics. A total of 122 healthy horses from different breeds in central …

Validation of real-time PCRs for the detection of mycobacteria causing animal tuberculosis
Andrea Ros Carrasco defended this Degree Final Project
Nowadays, animal tuberculosis is a major issue in many countries of the European Union. Although post-mortem detection of this disease is usually performed by microbiological culture, other
methods to detect members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) directly from tissue samples are being developed. One of the most developed and promising technique for this purpose is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This work focuses on the optimisation and validation of two Real-Time PCRs for the detection of M. caprae and M. bovis based on the lepA gene and a genomic deletion in the regio…

Capsular type diversity of Mannheimia haemolytica determined by multiplex real-time PCR and indirect hemagglutination in clinical isolates from cattle, sheep, and goats in Spain
Investigation article published in Veterinary Microbiology
This study compares the utility of a commercially available multiplex q-PCR assay for serotyping A1, A2, and A6 M. haemolytica serotypes with indirect hemagglutination, for determining the relative distribution of M. haemolytica capsular types associated with respiratory disorders in cattle, sheep, and goats. For the 129 isolates analyzed, both q-PCR and IHA assays exhibited nearly complete agreement for capsular types A1 (k = 0.965) and A2 (k = 0.888) and substantial agreement for A6 (k = 0.801). Despite the overall good performance of the commercial q-PCR, its effectiveness differed between …
