Detección y estudio genómico de genes asociados a la resistencia a colistina
Presentation by Laura Montecino Fernández to obtain the Master in Genetics and Molecular Biology
La colistina es un antimicrobiano dosis-dependiente catiónico perteneciente a la familia de las polimixinas, cuya diana es la membrana externa de las bacterias Gram negativas, en concreto el lipopolisacárido (LPS), con el objetivo de aumentar la permeabilidad de la membrana provocando la fuga del contenido citoplasmático y la muerte de la bacteria. Debido sus efectos adversos, su uso se limitó y quedó prácticamente obsoleto en medicina humana, mientras que en medicina veterinaria se ha utilizado ampliamente durante décadas enfermedades infecciosas causadas por enterobacterias. Hace unos años s…

Long-Term Determinants of the Seroprevalence of the Hepatitis E Virus in Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)
Animals publish this investigation article
The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen whose main reservoir is suids. Most of the ecological and epidemiological aspects of its sylvatic cycle remain unknown. Thus, in this work, we study the drivers of HEV exposure in the wild boar population of Doñana National Park (DNP, southwest Spain) operating in the medium and long-term (2005–2018). Anti-HEV antibodies are widely distributed throughout the wild boar (46.7 ± 3.8%, 327 out of 700 sampled), showing a statistically significant age-increasing pattern. The temporal pattern displayed important interannual fluctuations. Th…

The Role of Interleukine-10 and Interferon-gamma as Potential Markers of the Evolution of African Swine Fever Virus Infection in Wild Boar
Investigation published in Pathogens
African swine fever virus (ASFv) is one of the most challenging pathogens to affect both domestic and wild pigs. The disease has now spread to Europe and Asia, causing great damage to the pig industry. Although no commercial vaccine with which to control the disease is, as yet, available, some potential vaccine candidates have shown good results in terms of protection. However, little is known about the host immune mechanisms underlying that protection, especially in wild boar, which is the main reservoir of the disease in Europe. Here, we study the role played by two cytokines (IL-10 and IFN-…

Colistin selection of the mcr-1 gene in broiler chicken intestinal microbiota
Investigation article published in Antibiotics
: Colistin has a long story of safe use in animals for the treatment and prevention of certain bacterial diseases. Nevertheless, the first description of the mcr-1 gene showed that colistin resistance can spread by horizontal gene transfer and changed the landscape. This study aimed to assess the effect of colistin administration on the dispersion of resistance in the microbiota of day-old broiler chicks and how the presence of mcr-1 genes influences the spread of colistin resistance determinants. In this study, 100 one-day-old chicks were divided into four groups of 25 animals (G1, G2, G3, an…

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 …

Expansion of native wild boar populations is a new threat for semi-arid wetland areas
Investigation published in Ecological Indicators
Wildlife management and conservation requires monitoring of species distribution and population indicators, especially when the unbalanced demographic changes of some species can affect the whole ecosystem functioning. The populations of wild boar (Sus scrofa) have, over the past few decades, undergone an expansion around the world, reaching situations of overabundance that can cause serious economic, ecological and health problems. This numerical increase of wild boar and its new spatial invasion can affect certain vulnerable species in sensitive ecological zones, such as the main inland wetl…

Characterization of wildlife-livestock interfaces: the need for interdisciplinary approaches and a dedicated thematic field
The book Diseases at the Wildlife - Livestock Interface Research and Perspectives in a Changing World edited by Springer International Publishing includes this chapter
The study of wildlife/livestock interfaces has long suffered from the sealing among the different agricultural - including veterinary - and environmental sectors and the lack of multidisciplinary approaches. Following the SARS and H5N1 crisis, bridges have been developed between sectors and different disciplines, especially between the fields of
epidemiology and ecology and more recently of molecular biology and social sciences. Today wildlife/livestock interfaces benefit from an increased attention by biologists and epidemiologists who have developed dedicated approaches for their characteri…
