Geospatial analysis for strategic wildlife disease surveillance: African swine fever in South Korea (2019-2021)
PLoS ONE publish this investigation article
Since the confirmation of African swine fever (ASF) in South Korea in 2019, its spread, predominantly in wild boars, has been a significant concern. A key factor in this situation is the lack of identification of risk factors by surveillance bias. The unique orography, characterized by high mountains, complicates search efforts, leading to overlooked or delayed case detection and posing risks to the swine industry. Additionally, shared rivers with neighboring country present a continual threat of virus entry. This study employs geospatial analysis and statistical methods to 1) identify areas a…

Evaluación de la resistencia antimicrobiana en Salmonella y Escherichia coli en alimentos en puestos de control fronterizo de España (2021-2023)
Elena Fernández Cabrera defended this presentation at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid in order to obtain the Master of Research
Escherichia coli y Salmonella son dos microorganismos pertenecientes a la familia Enterobacteriaceae que forman parte de la microbiota intestinal comensal de la mayoría de mamíferos, aunque también existen cepas patógenas capaces de causar infecciones. Estas bacterias pueden presentar una gran diversidad de mecanismos de resistencia antimicrobiana, siendo la producción de betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEEs) y betalactamasas tipo AmpC los más comunes y, en menor medida, las carbapenemasas, que a su vez es el mecanismo más preocupante. Estas enzimas confieren resistencia a los betalactá…

Pets and SARS-CoV-2: Their role in disease epidemiology
The book Features, Transmission, Detection, and Case Studies in COVID-19 edited by Academic Press includes this chapter
The disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is currently one of the greatest concerns worldwide. Considering the possible zoonotic origin of the disease, studying the susceptibility of different animal species is essential to establish preventive and control measures. In this bibliographic review, the main findings at both the experimental level and in studies of natural infection in various animal species are summarized, with special emphasis on pets. All the studies suggest that the role of companion animals in the pandemic is limited to being mere punctual hosts of the virus without too many…

New perspectives in the study of mayor emerging diseases in cetaceans: advances in the understanding of Herpesviruses, Morbilliviruses and Brucella
PhD Thesis defense by Ignacio Vargas Castro at the VISAVET Centre of the Complutense University of Madrid
The importance of cetacean conservation in scientific research is increasingly prominent, giving rise to growing global concern due to the extinction threat faced by several cetacean species. The protection and preservation of these animals benefit the entire marine ecosystem, as they are considered umbrella species. Furthermore, their charisma and popularity make them flagship species, playing a significant role in raising awareness and promoting conservation among the general public. Additionally, they serve a crucial function as sentinels of ocean health.
On the other hand, the "One Heal…

Study of factors affecting the diagnostic performance of cellular and humoral-based techniques for caprine tuberculosis
PhD Thesis defense by Javier Ortega Martín at the VISAVET Centre of the Complutense University of Madrid
Caprine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic mycobacteriosis caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), mainly M. caprae and M. bovis. Due to its health and economic impact, this disease is subject to surveillance and eradication programs. In Spain, certain regions have been established specific eradication programs for those caprine herds epidemiologically related to cattle herds. In addition, caprine TB eradication programs have been implemented in some Autonomous Communities, also included in a specific manual of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Spain i…

Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in domestic goats in Southern Spain
Investigation published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by bacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), which can affect a wide variety of domestic and wild animal species. Although the role of goats as a reservoir of MTC bacteria has been evidenced, information about the circulation of MTC strains in this species is still very scarce. The aim of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence, spatial distribution, risk factors and MTC spoligotypes circulating in goats from Andalusia (Southern Spain), the Spanish region with the largest goat census and a hotspot…

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with surgical resection, toceranib phosphate and firocoxib in a dog: a case report
Investigation article published in Veterinary Research Communications
Exocrine pancreatic carcinomas are rarely reported in dogs. A ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a 10-year-old intact beagle is described in this report. The diagnosis was made based on clinical signs, imaging (abdominal ultrasound and CT scan) and histopathology. Treatment consisted of partial right lobe pancreatectomy followed by adjuvant therapy with toceranib phosphate (Palladia®) and firocoxib (Previcox®) for six months. The treatment was well tolerated, and the survival time was 445 days. To our knowledge, this is the longest survival reported in the literature for a dog diagnosed with …
