Editorial: Tuberculosis in domestic ruminants: towards eradication of zoonotic tuberculosis
Investigation published in Frontiers in veterinary science
Tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonosis with a significant impact on human and animal health and it remains endemic in many countries around the world. Most cases of human TB are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, whilst TB in wildlife and domestic ruminants is mainly caused by animal adapted mycobacterial species such as M. bovis and M. caprae. However, the impact of zoonotic TB (zTB) has been known for a long time and resulted in the implementation of milk pasteurization as a preventive public health measure in many countries. According to data published by the WHO, more than 140,000 people are i…

Evaluation of alternative antigens to PPDs for the diagnosis of caprine tuberculosis
Alberto Corroto Martín defended this Degree Final Project
Improving the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) performance of official tuberculosis (TB) tests in goats is crucial as their limited performance leads to the existence of false positives and false negatives, with the associated economic, health and confidence implications. Therefore, great efforts have been devoted to the search and evaluation of new antigens that can replace classical PPDs, such as bovine PPD (PPDb) and avian PPD (PPDa), in order to improve the performance of official TB ante-mortem diagnostic tests.
This study focuses on evaluating two new antigens, DST-F and P22, as re…

Detection of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in ticks obtained from wild animals
Degree Final Project defended by Inés Higueras Fernández
The Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is an infectious and zoonotic disease of viral etiology, transmitted by ticks of the genus Hyalomma. The increase in positive cases of in Spain since its first detection in 2010, along with the rising number of positive ticks detected, suggests the need for more thorough control over the actual circulation of this virus in the country. To date, various studies have been conducted focusing on detecting the circulation of CCHFV in regions of the national territory with a history of positive cases, omitting those areas where such precedents did not exist…

Estudio histopatológico e inmunohistoquímico en cerdos infectados por la cepa Pol/DP/OUT21 de peste porcina africana
Javier de Pablo Moreno defended this Degree Final Project
El virus de la peste porcina africana (PPA) induce una enfermedad letal tanto en cerdos domésticos como salvajes, provocando graves pérdidas económicas en la producción porcina. Las cepas que afectan actualmente a Europa pertenecen al genotipo II. Por tanto, es necesario realizar estudios patogénicos con diferentes cepas de PPA, debido a la variabilidad entre ellas. Se realizó un estudio anatomopatológico completo en 12 cerdos infectados por la cepa del virus de la PPA Pol16/DP/OUT21 con puntuaciones tanto macroscópicas como histológicas. El cuadro agudo-subagudo que indujo es compatible con l…
