Risk Factors and Long-Term Outcomes in Horses After the 2021 Outbreak of Equine Herpesvirus 1 Myeloencephalopathy, Valencia, Spain
Journal of veterinary internal medicine publish this investigation article
Background: Equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) is a persistent threat to horses, with unclear risk factors and disease severity.
Objectives: To evaluate risk factors, effective reproduction rate (Rt), and long-term athletic outcomes of an EHM outbreak.
Methods: Retrospective study of the 2021 EHM outbreak in Valencia, Spain, examining associations between risk factors (sex, age, breed, country of origin, and vaccination status) and case fatality rate, EHM development, and odds of returning to competition using odds ratios [95% CI] and Rt via the Robert Kochs Institute method.

Exudative epidermitis by Staphylococcus hyicus producing ExhC: Control proposals against an emergent pathogen in intensive pig production
The Veterinary Journal publish this investigation article
Exudative epidermitis (EE) is an occasional infectious disease affecting suckling and weaned piglets, with severe presentation in outbreaks. We described the diagnosis and control measurements conducted after an outbreak of EE caused by Staphylococcus hyicus producing an exfoliative toxin type C (ExhC) in a commercial 4000-head sow farm. Clinical disease was observed in suckling piglets, with a 70 % of morbidity, and a significant increase of mortality rate of 5 % during this period (p < 0.0001) was detected. The bacteria could be recovered from skin and internal organs of affected animals, an…

Non-typhoidal Salmonella in food animals in Paraguay: predominant serovars and resistance phenotypes
Investigation published in Frontiers in veterinary science
Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Salmonella in livestock (poultry, pig, and cattle) is crucial to maintain food safety. Given the lack of information on the situation in livestock in Paraguay, the aim of this study was to determine the most frequent Salmonella serovars in poultry, pig and cattle sampled in slaughterhouses in the country in 2020–22 along with their AMR phenotypes using data from a national pilot program. Out of 1,161 samples collected from slaughtered animals originating from 189 farms nationwide, Salmonella was isolated from 91/384 (23.7%) samples from poult…

Malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2`-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels in canine serum: establishing reference intervals and influencing factors
Investigation article published in BMC Veterinary Research
Background
Mounting evidence suggests that malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) are valuable biomarkers of lipid and nucleic acid oxidation in numerous canine diseases. However, their application in clinical settings is limited due to the absence of reference intervals (RI) and the analytical inconsistencies. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize serum MDA and 8-OHdG concentrations in dogs, to establish assay-specific RI, and to identify biological, haematological and biochemical factors influencing these markers.
Methods
A total of 190 clinically healthy d…

Integrative and conjugative elements associated with antimicrobial resistance in multidrug resistant Pasteurella multocida isolates from bovine respiratory disease (BRD)-affected animals in Spanish feedlots
Investigation published in The Veterinary quarterly
The emergence of multidrug-resistance (MDR) in Pasteurella multocida, a major contributor to bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is being increasingly reported, often linked to the carriage of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) on integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs). The resistance phenotype for 19 antimicrobials was determined using broth microdilution in 75 Pasteurella multocida isolates from healthy and BRD-affected cattle from five feedlots. The genomes of 32 isolates were sequenced to identify ARG) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and assess their genetic diversity. MDR isolates…

Genome Analysis of 6222 Bacterial Isolates from Livestock and Food Environments in Spain to Decipher the Antibiotic Resistome
Investigation article published in Antibiotics
Abstract: Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global health and the economy, with projected costs ranging from $300 billion to $1 trillion annually and an estimated 10 million deaths per year by 2050. The food chain, from primary production to retail, represents a critical entry point for antimicrobial resistant bacteria into communities. This underscores the need for a coordinated “One Health” approach, integrating efforts in animal production, environmental health, and human healthcare to address this global concern. This study aimed to cha…

Citizen Science to Raise Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness in the Community: The MicroMundo Project in Spain and Portugal
Microbial Biotechnology publish this investigation article
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global threat to human, animal and environmental health. Among the multidisciplinary tasks aimed at collectively tackling the AMR crisis, surveillance, research and education stand as major priorities. Based on a crowdsourcing research strategy, the MicroMundo project, a partner of the Tiny Earth initiative in Spain and Portugal, has been developed and consolidated with success in the academic environment. The objectives are focused on promoting research and, especially, on bringing knowledge of One Health and microbiology concepts, as well as AMR awarene…

Neurobrucellosis (Brucella ceti) in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba): Immunohistochemical studies on immune response and neuroinflammation
Investigation published in Veterinary Pathology
Neurobrucellosis is a shared condition of cetaceans and humans. However, the pathogenesis and immune response in cetacean neurobrucellosis has not been extensively studied. In this multicentric investigation, 21 striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) neurobrucellosis (Brucella ceti) cases diagnosed over a 10-year period (2012-2022) were retrospectively evaluated. For each case, morphological changes were assessed by evaluating 21 histological parameters. Furthermore, the immunohistochemical expression of Brucella antigen, glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), and a selection of inflammatory c…

Nueva herramienta de muestreo para la detección temprana y segura de patógenos en entornos animales y su ambiente
La monitorización de patógenos en entornos animales y ambientales es esencial para la sanidad y bienestar animal, así como para prevenir brotes de enfermedades de alto impacto. La Peste Porcina Africana (PPA) ha demostrado que las excreciones de animales infectados contaminan superficies, vehículos de transporte de ganado y otros entornos, contribuyendo a la propagación del virus. Este riesgo no es exclusivo de la PPA y se extiende a otros patógenos relevantes. Para enfrentar este desafío, hemos desarrollado un método de muestreo que inactiva completamente el patógeno y conserva su ma…

Metabolómica basada en Resonancia Magnética Nuclear, ¿puede contribuir al diagnóstico de la tuberculosis animal?
La metabolómica basada en resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) se ha empleado en humanos con fines diagnósticos y pronósticos (ej. COVID-19). El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la aplicación de la metabolómica mediante RMN de alta resolución y, en particular, de RMN de sobremesa para el diagnóstico de TB en el modelo caprino. Se recogieron muestras (suero) de tres rebaños: (1) infectado de TB (n=26), (2) infectado de paratuberculosis (PTB, n=16) y (3) rebaño control libre de TB (n=25). Las muestras fueron categorizadas según resultados previos de la prueba
