Pathological and microbiological assessment of hemorrhagic septicemia in cultured juvenile Russian sturgeons (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii)
Investigación publicada en Aquaculture Reports
Aquaculture has experienced sustained growth, now surpassing capture fisheries in global production. Among cultured species, sturgeon aquaculture has likewise expanded recently, prompting increased research and surveillance of diseases affecting this taxon. In this context, fifteen farmed Russian sturgeons (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) were submitted for pathological investigation. A comprehensive study was conducted, encompassing autopsy, histopathology, parasitology, microbiology, and antimicrobial resistance analysis. Macroscopic examination revealed ulcerative lesions on the scutes, multiorg…

Abattoir Surveillance: Identifying Risk Factors Associated with Bovine Tuberculosis Lesion Detection in a Low Prevalence Region
Preventive Veterinary Medicine publica este artículo de investigación
Abattoir surveillance is a key component in control and eradication programs against bovine tuberculosis (bTB). In low-prevalence or officially tuberculosis-free (OTF) regions in which active surveillance is typically limited or non-existent, postmortem inspection at the abattoir constitutes one of the main diagnostic tool to guarantee the absence of disease transmission. Here, we evaluated the performance of abattoir postmortem inspection in Galicia, a low-prevalence region in Spain (now OTF). Between 2014 and 2019, 1,784,261 animals were culled in 41 abattoirs, of which a small proportion (0…

Long-Term Surveillance of Chlamydia psittaci and West Nile Virus in Wild Birds from Central Spain (2013–2022)
Investigación publicada en Microorganisms
Wild birds are relevant reservoirs and sentinels for zoonotic pathogens such as Chlamydia psittaci and West Nile virus (WNV), both of which can affect animal and public health. Wildlife rehabilitation centers (WRCs) offer unique opportunities for passive surveillance
of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, particularly in urban and peri-urban settings. From 2013 to 2022, a total of 1024 bird samples were collected upon admission to WRCs in the Community of Madrid, Spain. Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs, as well as
tissue samples, were tested using real-time PCR targeting the ompA ge…

Severe Generalized Tetanus in a Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) Under Human Care: A Case Report from the Republic of Congo
Veterinary sciences publica este artículo de investigación
Tetanus is a life-threatening disease that causes painful muscle stiffness and sudden spasms. We present the case of a young chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) that was rescued from the illegal wildlife trade and arrived at a sanctuary with deep, dirty wounds and signs of tetanus. This included difficulty opening his mouth, a rigid posture, and spasms triggered by noise or touch, all while he remained fully conscious. The veterinary team acted immediately, cleaning and removing dead tissue from the wounds, administering an antitoxin to neutralize the toxin, starting a vaccination programme to protec…

Characterization of Leishmania infantum Isolates from Wild Leporids in the Community of Madrid (Spain)
Investigación publicada en Veterinary sciences
Despite the public health implications of limited awareness regarding the biodiversity of Leishmania spp. and the persistence of human leishmaniasis outbreaks in endemic regions of Europe, there is still no consensus on a standardized molecular typing method for the surveillance of this parasite in humans, domestic animals, and wildlife reservoirs. Consequently, the development of a simple, rapid, effective, and cost-efficient typing approach remains an unmet need. The method proposed in this study, evaluated on a larger number of samples than in previous reports, may fulfill these criteria an…

Evaluation of the reproducibility and performance characteristics of the Phagomagnetic separation-qPCR assay for rapidly detecting viable Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in bovine milk and feces
Artículo de investigación publicado en Frontiers in veterinary science
Inter-laboratory trials were carried out to evaluate the reproducibility and estimate test performance characteristics of the Phagomagnetic separation (PhMS)-qPCR assay, a novel phage-based assay recently developed as a rapid alternative to culture for detecting viable Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in bovine milk and feces. Unique reagents and a detailed instruction manual required for the PhMS-qPCR assay were provided to five European veterinary diagnostic laboratories by Rapid-Myco Technologies Limited. Milk and feces test panels were prepared at NEIKER and distributed to…
