MultiOrgan Disease and Death Associated With Streptococcus equi spp. zooepidemicus in a 2-Month-Old Foal
Artículo de investigación publicado en Journal of Equine Veterinary Science
A 2-month-old Andalusian colt in central Spain presented dyspnea, diarrhea, and depression. Despite the initial treatment for presumptive pneumonia caused by Rhodococcus equi, after 1 hour, the colt showed signs of shock and died. The necropsy revealed multiple abscesses in the lung, as well as enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes, and hemorrhagic peritonitis. Samples were taken from trachea, lung parenchyma, small intestine, and colon. All samples yielded a pure culture of Streptococcus equi spp. zooepidemicus, whereas R. equi was excluded by using a specific qPCR performed on all samples. Isolate…

Modeling cost-effectiveness of risk-based bovine tuberculosis surveillance in Minnesota
Investigación publicada en Preventive Veterinary Medicine
In the United States, slaughter surveillance combined with other measures has effectively maintained a very low prevalence of bovine tuberculosis (bTB). However, bTB continues to be sporadically detected, causing substantial economic burden to the government and cattle producers. To detect the infection earlier and reduce sudden economic losses, additional risk-based surveillance of live animals might be more cost-effective than slaughter surveillance alone to detect and prevent bTB infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate alternative risk-based surveillance strategies targeting …

Genetic heterogeneity of dolphin morbilliviruses detected in the Spanish Mediterranean in inter-epizootic period
Artículo de investigación publicado en BMC Veterinary Research
BACKGROUND:
In the last 20 years, Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) has been responsible for many die-offs in marine mammals worldwide, as clearly exemplified by the three dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) epizootics of 1990-1992, 2006-2008 and 2011 that affected Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba). Systemic infection caused by DMV in the Mediterranean has been reported only during these outbreaks.
RESULTS:
We report the infection of five striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded on the Spanish Mediterranean coast of Valencia after the last DMV outbreak that ended in 2011…

Could African swine fever and classical swine fever viruses enter into the United States via swine products carried in air passengers` luggage?
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases publica este artículo de investigación
On average 8,000 pork derived products are annually confiscated by Customs and Border Protection at the United States (US) ports of entry such as international airports, harbours or mail offices. These swine products with unknown sanitary status could pose a risk for foreign animal diseases introduction into the US. This study aimed at analysing the risk of African swine fever virus (ASFV) and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) being introduced into the US through prohibited swine products carried by air passengers (PSPAP) and identifying locations and time periods at higher risk where and whe…

Development and Evaluation of a Serological Assay for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in Alpacas and Llamas
Artículo de investigación publicado en Frontiers in veterinary science
South American camelids are susceptible to tuberculosis, caused mainly by Mycobacterium bovis and M. microti. Despite the tuberculin skin test being the official test for tuberculosis, it has a very low sensitivity in these species (14–20%). Serological tests present the advantages of being rapid, easy to perform and facilitate analysis of large numbers of samples in a short period of time. Novel antigen discovery and evaluation would provide enhanced detection of specific antibodies against members of M. tuberculosis complex. Here, we describe the development and evaluation of an ELISA-type i…

Genes resistentes a los antibióticos
Entrevista concedida a Planeta Vivo Radio. Planeta Vivo Radio
La resistencia a los antibióticos en más de 400 genes será el tema central del programa tras la publicación de un trabajo en Nature que desvela el gran problema que afrontamos. Entrevistaremos para ello a uno de los autores de dicho trabajo, Bruno González Zorn, investigador de la Facultad de Veterinaria y del Centro de Vigilancia Sanitaria Veterinaria (VISAVET) de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. PLANETA VIVO RADIO es el programa radiofónico sobre divulgación científica y técnica de Canarias más longevo con más de 9 años de emisión semanal. Es una apuesta del Instituto Volcanológico de C…

Nace PROMANBOV, nuevo grupo operativo para la promoción del uso prudente de antimicrobianos en vacuno de carne
El proyecto está liderado por ASOPROVAC, Agropienso y la Associació PORCSA-Grup de Sanejament Porcí de Lleida, y cuenta con la colaboración de Novadays, UPM, VISAVET-UCM y AEMPS.
Pretende contribuir a mejorar la situación de la resistencia bacteriana en el área de la salud animal.
La Asociación Española de Productores de Vacuno de Carne (ASOPROVAC) ha constituido, junto con la empresa Agropienso y la Associació PORCSA-Grup de Sanejament Porcí (GSP) de Lleida, el grupo operativo supraautonómico PROMANBOV, que nace con el cometido de analizar, adaptar y proponer la implantación de protocolos de uso de antimicrobianos en granjas de vacuno de carne en España, aplicando criterios utilizados actualmente en otros sectores y por tanto racionalizar el uso de los mismos.…

Antimicrobial Resistance in the Food Chain in the European Union
El libro Biological Emerging Risks in Foods editado por Academic Press recoge este capítulo
Consumers require safety foods but without losing enough supply and low prices. Food concerns about antimicrobial residues and antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria are not usually appropriately separated and could be perceived as the same problem. The monitoring of residues of antimicrobials in animal food is well established at different levels (farm, slaughterhouse, and industry), and it is preceded by the legislation of veterinary medicines where maximum residues limits are required for medicines to be used in food animal. Following the strategy of the World Health Organization, one of th…

Exploring the oxidative, antimicrobial and genomic properties of Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from poultry
Artículo de investigación publicado en Research in Veterinary Science
Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of food-borne bacterial enteritis in humans, with contaminated poultry products considered the main source of infection. To survive the food chain, C. jejuni utilizes multiple defense mechanisms that counter oxidative and aerobic stresses. In this study, we phenotypically characterised 63 C. jejuni strains with oxidative stress survival and antimicrobial susceptibility testing to investigate correlations between these two phenotypes against the source of the strains and the presence of the MarR regulators RrpA and RrpB which have a role in regulating t…
