New Methodologies for the Diagnosis of Bovine Tuberculosis
PhD Thesis defense by Víctor Lorente Leal at the VISAVET Centre of the Complutense University of Madrid
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a serious infectious disease of bovids that is subjected to eradication programmes around the world due to its negative effect in animal health and production, as well as its zoonotic potential. Despite the great advances in the eradication of the disease, bTB is still an ongoing problem in certain regions of the EU and Spain. The main objective of this doctoral thesis was the development of novel diagnostic and characterisation tools that can contribute in enhancing the efficiency of the eradication efforts. This was achieved through the development of sensitive a…

Characterization of the Fecal and Mucosa-Associated Microbiota in Dogs with Chronic Inflammatory Enteropathy
Investigation published in Animals
Chronic inflammatory enteropathies are the most common cause of chronic vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. The pathogenesis of this disease is known to be multifactorial, where intestinal barrier dysfunction, immunological dysregulation and gut microbiota changes play a central role. Most sequencing studies assessing the intestinal microbiota in canine species have been made to evaluate fecal samples. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to characterize the intestinal bacterial microbiota from duodenal biopsies and fecal samples in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease at the diagnosis time and to co…

What about the bull? A systematic review about the role of males in bovine infectious infertility within cattle herds
Investigation article published in Veterinary and Animal Science
Numerous pathogens affect cow fertility. Nevertheless, little information has been published about microorganisms associated with cattle infertility focusing on bulls. The present review offers a current analysis and highlights potential key aspects on the relevance of bulls in the emergence of infertility problems of infectious origin within herds that are still not completely determined. The present systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases on December 9, 2022. In total, 2,224 bibliographic records were reviewed and, according to strict inclusion …

First report and molecular characterization of cases of natural Taylorella asinigenitalis infection in three donkey breeds in Spain
Investigation published in Veterinary Microbiology
Taylorella asinigenitalis is a non-pathogenic bacteria isolated from the genital tract of donkeys but also a cause of metritis and vaginal discharge in mares. It is closely related to Taylorella equigenitalis, the cause of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) in horses, and has been present in different countries in Europe since 1995. Up to date, there are no studies on the prevalence of T. asinigenitalis in the equine or asinine populations in Spain; this is the first report of the presence of T. asinigenitalis in donkeys (Equus asinus) from different breeds in three regions of Spain. A total of …

Intestinal T-cell lymphoma in an Asian small-clawed otter: case report and literature review of lymphoma in the subfamily Lutrinae
Investigation article published in Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation
The Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinereus) is an endangered species that is common in zoologic collections. A 17-y-old female Asian small-clawed otter under human care, with a clinical history of chronic renal disease, was euthanized because of deteriorating health. Histologically, the jejunal wall was infiltrated by a monomorphic population of small neoplastic lymphocytes that expanded the lamina propria of the villi and crypts, and on rare occasions invaded the submucosa. The tumor was composed of T cells (CD3+) with a proliferation index of 16%. Based on the World Health Organization (WH…

Estrategia y respuesta One Health (una salud)
Chapter included in La amenaza biológica. Cuadernos de Estrategia 217 edited by IEEE. Ministerio de Defensa
El concepto One Health implica la colaboración de todos los profesionales sanitarios (médicos, veterinarios, farmacéuticos, psicólogos, enfermeros, etc.) para hacer frente a situaciones de crisis biológicas, los cuales aportan sus conocimientos y experiencias. Estamos viendo que cada día aparecen nuevas enfermedades emergentes y aquellas que creíamos controladas, se están adaptando a los cambios ambientales y están volviendo a aparecer de forma reemergente. La interacción, cada vez más frecuente del ser humano con la naturaleza, hace que la aparición de zoonosis sea cada vez más frecuente. El …

Nuevas amenazas silenciosas
The book La amenaza biológica. Cuadernos de Estrategia 217 edited by IEEE. Ministerio de Defensa includes this chapter
En el siglo XXI, la tecnología junto con la biotecnología ofrece nuevos campos para la investigación que a veces parecen de ciencia-ficción y con un amplio espectro de posibilidades, siendo muchas de ellas de aplicación dual. Lo que significa que, en el mundo de hoy, el dominio mental y biológico sobre la población es el objetivo para conseguir dichos fines, siendo desarrollada por los países más poderosos. Las nuevas amenazas silenciosas que se desarrollan son: armas sónicas, armas psicotrónicas, armas ambientales, armas genéticas, etnobombas, entomológicas y robóticas, que hacen de este mund…

Introducción
Chapter included in La amenaza biológica. Cuadernos de Estrategia 217 edited by IEEE. Ministerio de Defensa
En el mundo globalizado que caracteriza al siglo XXI, se han puesto de manifiesto los riesgos y amenazas a la seguridad biológica derivados de una nueva situación caracterizada por el intercambio a nivel mundial de personas, productos, conocimientos y tecnologías.
El actor principal hasta ahora, caracterizado por el Estado, ha tenido que compartir espacio con otros que eran menos relevantes, pero que han adquirido una importancia significativa. De este modo se observa cómo se han posicionado con fuerza las organizaciones, grupos e individuos, que han demostrado en ocasiones unas capacidades…
