Dirofilaria immitis in pet dogs from the metropolitan area of the Colombian Caribbean
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 18;102:102064. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the frequency and factors associated with Dirofilaria immitis infection in pet dogs in the metropolitan area of the Colombian Caribbean (northern Colombia). A total of 173 dogs were analyzed by a commercial rapid immunochromatographic test (RIT) and a nested PCR of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene, in parallel. Ninety-two (53.2%) of the dogs showed positive results to the RIT, while 59 (34.1%) animals had D. immitis DNA by PCR. Positivity to one...

Epizootological monitoring of some bacterial infectious diseases of animals on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 9;102:102061. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102061. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe presence of significant areas used for pastures in Kazakhstan makes it relevant to study the epizootic situation in terms of the incidence of animals during their grazing. The most frequent and dangerous diseases during this period are clostridiosis and listeriosis, which cause significant damage to livestock. Monitoring studies of the dynamics of morbidity among animals for infectious diseases during the grazing period were carried out on the basis of veterinary reporting. Bacteriological studies w...

Characterization of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolated from pigs in Japan using whole genome sequencing
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 9;102:102062. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102062. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe conducted whole-genome sequencing to investigate the serotypes, the presence of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes, and the genetic relationships among isolates of Actinobacillus. pleuropneumoniae derived from diseased pigs. Serotype 2 (71.2%) was the most common, but the prevalence of serotypes 6 (13.6%) and 15 (6.8%) increased. Existing vaccines are considered ineffective on the isolates belonging to serotypes 6 and 15. The phylogenetic tree based on core genome single nucleotide polymorp...

Impact of genetic diversity and antibiotic-resistance of Salmonella isolated from feral cats: One Health approach
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Aug 29;101:102043. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102043. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFree-living cats usually live in colonies in urban areas, especially close to parks and neighbourhoods where people feed them without any sanitary control. This can pose a human, animal and environmental health concern due to the close contact between uncontrolled colonies, the population and other domestic and/or wild animals. Thus, this study aimed to assess the genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica strains isolated from feral cats in a previou...

Epidemiological survey of tick-borne pathogens in dogs in Anhui Province, China
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 6;101:102059. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102059. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTick-borne diseases have continued to increase worldwide in both developing and many developed countries due to the widespread of different tick species and tick's adaptability to different climatic weather. In order to investigate the prevalence of the tick-borne pathogens, EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood samples were aseptically collected from 765 pet dogs in twenty veterinary clinics located in sixteen prefecture-level cities in Anhui Province, China, and the samples were examined and analyzed for ti...
