Diez preguntas y respuestas sobre el virus Zika

Publicado un nuevo artículo online de divulgación en Colegio Oficial de Veterinarios de Madrid

El Colegio de Veterinarios de Madrid, dada la implicación de sus profesionales en el área de la salud pública, ha elaborado un documento de preguntas y respuestas acerca del virus Zika con el Dr. Joaquín Goyache, especialista en sanidad animal del Laboratorio de Vigilancia Sanitaria Veterinaria (VISAVET) y colaborador del COVM, que permite aclarar una serie de cuestiones que están causando una cierta incertidumbre a los ciudadanos… Leer más

Spatial and Functional Organization of Pig Trade in Different European Production Systems: Implications for Disease Prevention and Control

Artículo de investigación publicado en Frontiers in veterinary science

Understanding the complexity of live pig trade organization is a key factor to predict and control major infectious diseases, such as classical swine fever (CSF) or African swine fever (ASF). Whereas the organization of pig trade has been described in several European countries with indoor commercial production systems, little information is available on this organization in other systems, such as outdoor or small-scale systems. The objective of this study was to describe and compare the spatial and functional organization of live pig trade in different European countries and different product… Leer más

Staphylococcus aureus Genetic Lineages Found in Urban Effluents and River Water

Investigación publicada en International Journal of Water and Wastewater Treatment

Methicillin resistant and susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA respectively) remain a public health concern as human pathogens. Presence of MRSA and MSSA in river water and urban effluents was studied to analyze the S. aureus population and determine the genetic diversity and predominant genotypes obtained by spa types and MLST on each ecological niche. MRSA proportion in urban effluents was higher than in river water (P<0.05). According to the Simpson’s Index of Diversity based on spa types, MSSA isolates were more diverse than MRSA isolates (P<0.05). Predominant spa types and STs… Leer más

Detailed chronological analysis of microevolution events in herds infected persistently by Mycobacterium bovis

Investigación publicada en Veterinary Microbiology

Various studies have analyzed microevolution events leading to the emergence of clonal variants in human infections by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, microevolution events in animal tuberculosis remain unknown. We performed a systematic analysis of microevolution events in eight herds that were chronically infected by Mycobacterium bovis for more than 12 months. We analyzed 88 animals using a systematic screening procedure based on discriminatory MIRU-VNTR genotyping at sequential time points during the infection. Microevolution was detected in half of the herds studied. Emergence of clo… Leer más

A livestock-associated, multidrug-resistant, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clonal Complex 97 lineage spreading in dairy cattle and pigs in Italy

Applied and Environmental Microbiology publica este artículo de investigación

Pandemic methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) Clonal Complex (CC)97 MRSA lineages originated from livestock-to-human host jumps. In recent years CC97 has become one of the major MRSA lineages detected in Italian farmed animals. The aim of the study was to characterize and analyze differences of MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) mainly of swine and bovine origin. Forty-seven CC97 isolates, 35 MRSA and 6 MSSA from different Italian pig and cattle holdings, 5 pig MRSA from Germany, one human MSSA from Spain, were characterized by macro-restriction-PFGE analysis, MLST, spa-typing… Leer más

Detection of carbapenemase-production in a collection of Enterobacteriaceae with characterized resistance mechanisms from clinical and environmental origin using both Carba NP and Blue-Carba tests

Artículo de investigación publicado en Journal of Clinical Microbiology

Rapid screening methods to confirm the presence of resistance mechanisms in multidrug-resistant bacteria are currently recommended. Carba NP and Blue-Carba tests were evaluated in carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae from hospital (n=102) and environmental (n=57) origin for detecting the different molecular classes among them. Both methods showed to be fast and cost-effective, with high sensitivity (98-100%) and specificity (100%) what may be easily introduced in the routine laboratory.… Leer más

Wildlife and livestock use of extensive farm resources in South Central Spain: implications for disease transmission

Artículo de investigación publicado en European Journal of Wildlife Research

The interactions of extensively farmed livestock with wild ungulates contribute to the transmission and maintenance of, among other diseases, tuberculosis (TB) at the interface in South Central Spain (SCS), where farming typically occurs close to wildlife habitats. The aim of this paper is to describe (i) the use of extensive farm resources by wildlife and livestock and (ii) the factors involved. Camera traps (CTs) were placed at a priori risk points (n = 149 points, 2145 CT days) for interspecies interactions: water points, buildings, food points, and acorn fields (which also prov… Leer más
