An infectious disease outbreak and increased mortality in wild alpine reindeer
Abstract Climate changes may lead to tipping points where the epidemiological characteristics of infectious wildlife diseases suddenly change, leading to outbreaks. However, empirically documented cases of the extent to which emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) affect populations of large vertebrates are few, partly because of the limited surveillance ...

Abstract Bacterial overgrowth is common for improperly stored urine. However, its effects on human urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) study had not been previously examined nor documented. This study investigated the presence of bacterial EVs (bEVs) contaminated in uEVs samples and their effects on uEVs study.

Assessment of animal diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antimicrobials: sheep and goats
Abstract In this opinion, the antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria responsible for transmissible diseases that constitute a threat to the health of sheep and goats have been assessed. The assessment has been performed following a methodology based on information collected by an extensive literature review and expert judgement.

A longitudinal study of the role of Dichelobacter nodosus and Fusobacterium necrophorum load in initiation and severity of footrot in sheep. [PDF]
Footrot is an infectious bacterial disease of sheep that causes lameness. The causal agent is Dichelobacter nodosus. There is debate regarding the role of Fusobacterium necrophorum in disease initiation.

Ad hoc method for the assessment of animal diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antimicrobials
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA assess antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria responsible for animal transmissible diseases, with a view to listing such pathogens for European Union action. This Scientific Opinion addresses the ad hoc method developed: (i) to give a global state of play as regards resistant animal pathogens that cause ...

Novel inflammatory cell infiltration scoring system to investigate healthy and footrot affected ovine interdigital skin [PDF]
Ovine footrot is a degenerative disease of sheep feet leading to the separation of hoof-horn from the underlying skin and lameness. This study quantitatively examined histological features of the ovine interdigital skin as well as their relationship with

Gamithromycin in swine: Pharmacokinetics and clinical evaluation against swine respiratory disease
Intramuscular injection of gamithromycin 15% w/v in swine at 6 mg/kg is characterized by rapid absorption and distribution to tissues. Clinical evaluation in an European field study incorporating 305 swine has shown safe and efficacious treatment for swine with bacterial respiratory disease. Abstract The pharmacokinetics of gamithromycin were evaluated

Simultaneous detection and discrimination of virulent and benign Dichelobacter nodosus in sheep of flocks affected by foot rot and in clinically healthy flocks by competitive real-time PCR. [PDF]
Ovine foot rot caused by Dichelobacter nodosus is affecting sheep worldwide. The current diagnostic methods are difficult and cumbersome. Here, we present a competitive real-time PCR based on allelic discrimination of the protease genes aprV2 and aprB2 ...

Multiple locus VNTR analysis highlights that geographical clustering and distribution of Dichelobacter nodosus, the causal agent of footrot in sheep, correlates with inter-country movements. [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium and the causal agent of footrot in sheep. Multiple locus variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) is a portable technique that involves the identification and enumeration of ...

Delineation of the virulence-related locus (vrl) of Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus is the primary pathogen implicated in ovine footrot. In this paper we have delineated a 27 kb locus, termed the virulence-related locus (vrl), that was essentially specific for virulent D. nodosus isolates. The precise ends of this locus were mapped and the sequences of the junction regions from the virulent strain A198 were ...
