Risk Mapping of African Swine Fever in Domestic Pigs and Wild Boars to Enhance Management and Surveillance in Asia
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases publish this investigation article
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly lethal disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boars, caused by the ASF virus (ASFV), which has rapidly spread across Asia in recent years. In this region, most reported ASF cases involve domestic pigs, while cases in wild boars remain notably lower except in a few countries. However, factors such as the high population of wild boars, limited wildlife surveillance, and inadequate farm biosecurity suggest that the prevalence and transmission of ASFV between these hosts may be underestimated. Therefore, we used a simplified multicriteria approach (SMCA) to …

Antibiotic Resistance to Critically Important Antimicrobials and Virulence Genes in Enterococcus faecalis Strains Isolated from Eurasian Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) and Their Association with Mobile Genetic Elements
Investigation article published in Veterinary sciences
The phenotypic resistance of 56 Enterococcus faecalis isolates from Eurasian griffon vultures was subjected to surveillance testing with the microdilution method using a standardized panel of antimicrobials. Isolates were also characterized by MLST. Additionally, the genome of 19 isolates with phenotypic resistance to linezolid, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol and/or high-level resistance to gentamicin were sequenced to determine their antimicrobial resistance (ARGs) and virulence-associated genes and to identify mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Most isolates (82.1%) exhibited non-wild-type phen…

Evaluation of serological assays for intra vitam diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Investigation published in Frontiers in Microbiology
Introduction: Bovine tuberculosis (TB) in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is primarily diagnosed using intra vitam tests, as the intradermal tuberculin test (IDT) and the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), both of which detect cell-mediated immunity (CMI). However, a subset of infected animals fails to mount a detectable CMI response, posing a significant risk of undetected transmission. Serological tests assessing the humoral immune response could provide a valuable complementary tool for identifying infected animals that escape detection through traditional CMI-based assays.
Methods: Th…

Persistent multispecies dissemination of armA-carrying IncR plasmids among clinical and environmental bacterial populations in a Spanish veterinary hospital
Investigation article published in Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Aminoglycoside resistance mediated by 16S rRNA methyltransferases poses a growing threat in both human and veterinary medicine. Here, we conducted a retrospective genomic study of Enterobacterales isolates (n = 789) collected from clinical samples at a veterinary teaching hospital in Spain between 2011 and 2020. We identified four high-level aminoglycoside-resistant ST171 Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis isolates carrying the armA gene, all from horses. Using Illumina and Nanopore sequencing, we determined that armA was located on a 70 kb IncR plasmid, also carrying other resistan…

A time-space Bayesian regression model of rabies cases in the animal population of Kazakhstan (2013-2023)
Frontiers in veterinary science publish this investigation article
Despite its endemic status and socioeconomic impacts, the spatial-temporal variation in rabies risk and its underlying determinants in Kazakhstan animal populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterise the time-space dynamics of rabies in animal populations across Kazakhstan regions from 2013 to 2023 and identify the key drivers of transmission. Using a Bayesian hierarchical regression model with spatial and temporal random effects, we analysed national surveillance data on rabies cases in livestock, companion animals, and wildlife, alongside sociodemographic and animal p…

Protective effect of heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis applied intramuscularly is associated with enhanced lung immune response in caprine tuberculosis
Investigation published in Veterinary Research
Caprine tuberculosis (TB) causes a zoonotic disease with significant economic and health implications. However, excluding some regions, goat herds are not subjected to official TB eradication programs. Implementing vaccination protocols for this species could provide a complementary and effective control strategy against TB. We assessed the protective efficacy and immune response associated with a heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis)-based immunostimulant (HIMB) applied intramuscularly against caprine pulmonary TB on 20 kid goats (10 immunized, 10 controls) naturally exposed to M. c…

Attributable sources of the five most prevalent non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars across ten European countries
Investigation published in The Journal of infection
Non-typhoidal Salmonella is the second most frequently reported zoonotic pathogen in the European Union and European Economic Area. Most human infections are caused by serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium. Genomic characterisation of Salmonella isolates from humans and animals has become a routine public health surveillance tool in many countries. In this study, the relative contributions of several potential sources of human infection of the five frequently reported Salmonella serovars was estimated using machine-learning methods based on a large, cross-sectional collection of genomes from hu…

Diving Into the Depths: Unveiling the Main Etiologies of Piscine Lactococcosis With a Novel Multiplex qPCR Assay
Investigation published in Journal of Fish Diseases
Piscine lactococcosis poses a significant threat to a wide range of cultured and wild fish populations worldwide, typically presenting as acute haemorrhagic septicemia with high morbidity and mortality. Although Lactococcus garvieae was historically considered the sole causative agent of piscine lactococcosis, recent studies have identified L. petauri and L. formosensis as additional, highly pathogenic species. In this study, we developed a novel TaqMan-based multiplex qPCR assay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of L. garvieae, L. petauri and L. formosensis, following a pange…

Brucellosis in aquatic mammals
Chapter included in Brucellosis: The Silent Threat to Livestock and Human Health edited by Elsevier, 1997
The study of brucellosis in marine mammals has become crucial due to its zoonotic risks and its effects on marine species. The bacteria Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis cause significant health issues in cetaceans and pinnipeds, respectively. While B. ceti is associated with severe conditions and strandings, B. pinnipedialis often remains asymptomatic, though some cases of disease have been noted. The zoonotic potential of marine Brucella strains, particularly sequence type 27, further emphasizes the need for continuous surveillance and research. While real-time PCR is useful for detec…
