Habitat suitability mapping and landscape connectivity analysis to predict African swine fever spread in wild boar populations: A focus on Northern Italy
PLoS ONE publish this investigation article
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease affecting wild and domestic pigs, characterised by severe haemorrhagic symptoms and high mortality rates. Originally confined to Sub-Saharan Africa, ASF virus genotype II has spread to Europe since 2014, mainly affecting Eastern Europe, and progressing through wild boar migrations and human action. In January 2022, the first case of ASF, due to genotype II, was reported in North-western Italy, in a wild boar carcass. Thereafter, numerous positive wild boars were identified, indicating an expanding wild epidemic, severely threatening Ital…

An Efficient, Organic Solvent-Free Method for Extraction and Concentration of Hepatitis E Virus from Pig Liver
Investigation article published in Food Analytical Methods
The presence of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) in pork products, particularly in pig liver has been frequently described. However, a standardized method is not still available for the detection of HEV in foods, particularly in those difficult food matrixes such as pig meat and pork products. The aim of this study was to design, optimize and evaluate a new method of food-separation and virus concentration for HEV in pig liver samples. This method is based on organic flocculation and avoids the use of organic solvents. The virus recovery rates and analytical sensitivity of the method using murine n…

High Frequency of Detection of NDM-Producing Enterobacterales Among Companion Animals Hospitalized in an Italian Veterinary Teaching Hospital
Investigation article published in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases
Carbapenems are considered one of the most important last-resort classes of antibiotics, and the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) is a serious concern worldwide. From a One Health point of view, reports on CRE in companion animals are increasing, requiring attention regarding their role in maintenance and direct transmission to humans. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of detection at admission and the in-hospital acquisition of CRE from perirectal swabs in dogs and cats hospitalized in an Italian Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). Of the 150 patients samp…

Immunological mechanisms involved in the protection against development of pulmonary tuberculosis in naturally infected goats
Investigation article published in Veterinary Microbiology
Tuberculosis (TB) is a notifiable zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) that affects a multitude of domestic and wild species. The main lesions caused by these mycobacteria are tuberculous granulomas, which determine the organism`s immune response to the disease. Although TB pathogenesis in cattle has been extensively studied, information regarding its progression in other species of interest for the maintenance and transmission of TB such as goats remains limited. This study aimed to characterise the immune response developed in the lungs of goat…

NpmC - a novel A1408 16S rRNA methyltransferase in the gut of humans and animals
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents publish this investigation article
16S rRNA methyltransferases that act on residue A1408, NpmA and NpmB, confer high-level resistance to virtually all the aminoglycosides, but their reports are scarce. Analysing metagenomic projects in a One Health context, we identified in human and animal gut microbiomes from China and Canada a novel gene, npmC, that shares an identity of 91.5% with npmA, and up to 92.7% at amino acidic level. The protein encoded by this gene presents the conserved motifs required for A1408 methylation. Expression of the gene resulted in high-level of resistance to 4,5-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS)…
