Caprine tuberculosis (TB) causes a zoonotic disease with significant economic and health implications. However, excluding some regions, goat herds are not subjected to official TB eradication programs. Implementing vaccination protocols for this species could provide a complementary and effective control strategy against TB. We assessed the protective efficacy and immune response associated with a heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis)-based immunostimulant (HIMB) applied intramuscularly against caprine pulmonary TB on 20 kid goats (10 immunized, 10 controls) naturally exposed to M. c… Leer más

Diving Into the Depths: Unveiling the Main Etiologies of Piscine Lactococcosis With a Novel Multiplex qPCR Assay

Investigación publicada en Journal of Fish Diseases

Piscine lactococcosis poses a significant threat to a wide range of cultured and wild fish populations worldwide, typically presenting as acute haemorrhagic septicemia with high morbidity and mortality. Although Lactococcus garvieae was historically considered the sole causative agent of piscine lactococcosis, recent studies have identified L. petauri and L. formosensis as additional, highly pathogenic species. In this study, we developed a novel TaqMan-based multiplex qPCR assay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of L. garvieae, L. petauri and L. formosensis, following a pange… Leer más
