Exploring specific biomarkers in blood for in vitro diagnosis of caprine tuberculosis
Frontiers in Microbiology publish this investigation article
Introduction: Caprine tuberculosis (cTB) is a zoonotic disease with significant implications for animal and public health and economic impact. Therefore, accurate ante-mortem diagnosis is essential. Diagnosis in goats rely on the single and comparative intradermal tuberculin test (SITT and CITT, respectively), both of which showing limited diagnostic performance. The aim of the study was to
characterize the immune and physiological responses to cTB in naturally infected goats and to identify potential in vitro biomarkers that could improve the reliability of cTB diagnosis.
Methodology: The s…

Del estÃmulo al recuerdo: cómo se entrena la inmunidad innata
GanaderÃa publish this article
La inmunidad entrenada evidencia que el sistema inmune innato tiene la capacidad
de "recordar" y reaccionar de manera más eficaz frente a infecciones futuras.
Este descubrimiento abre nuevas vÃas para prevenir enfermedades en animales,
contribuyendo a reducir el uso de antibióticos y complementando a las vacunas
tradicionales, dentro de un enfoque integral de salud animal y humana…

Evaluation of four molecular detection assays for the diagnosis of Chlamydia pecorum infection in Victorian koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) using Bayesian latent class analysis
Investigation published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Chlamydiosis poses a significant threat to koala health and population viability. Accurate diagnosis of chlamydial infection in koalas at veterinary hospitals informs patient prognosis, biosecurity and determines treatment. However, there is no standardised approach to the diagnosis of chlamydiosis in wildlife hospitals. The performance of available diagnostic tests has not previously been rigorously assessed, and there is a lack of sufficient well-characterised reference samples. This study aimed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of four molecular detection assays for Chlamydia pecorum infe…

Quantitative epidemiology for the characterization of the performance of diagnostic tests used in the frame of the Spanish bovine tuberculosis eradication program
PhD Thesis defense by Alberto Gómez BuendÃa at the VISAVET Centre of the Complutense University of Madrid
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), a notifiable zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, poses a significant risk to public and animal health. The European Union regulatory framework requires Member States to implement control, surveillance, and eradication programs. Several countries have achieved this objective, but Spain has not yet reached disease eradication despite its efforts. However, many provinces have obtained the officially bTB-free (OTF) status or have very low prevalences, a situation that poses new challenges. These include maintaining the efficienc…

Ineffective oral immunization of wild boar with the attenuated African swine fever virus NH/P68 grown in MA104 cell line
Investigation published in The Veterinary Journal
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and lethal hemorrhagic disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boar, with serious consequences for animal health, the swine industry, and socio-economic stability. Given the lack of effective treatments and the limited success of conventional control measures, live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) have emerged as the most promising option, particularly for oral administration in free-ranging wild boar. The naturally attenuated genotype I isolate NH/P68 has shown protective potential in domestic pigs but retains residual virulence and persistence risk…
