Non-pet dogs as sentinels and potential synanthropic reservoirs of tick-borne and zoonotic bacteria
Blood samples were collected from 100 shepherd dogs, 12 hunting dogs and 14 stray dogs (apparently healthy) in southern Hungary to screen for the presence of emerging tick-borne pathogens. Based on real-time PCR results, 14 dogs (11%) had single or dual haemoplasma infection, and a same number of samples were positive for Anaplasma phagocytophilum.

Predicting Novel Tick Vectors of Zoonotic Disease [PDF]
With the resurgence of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and the emergence of new pathogens such as Powassan virus, understanding what distinguishes vector from non-vector species, and predicting undiscovered tick vectors is an important step towards mitigating human disease risk.

Abstract Background Research on the general public's knowledge and usage patterns of pet food, particularly regarding raw meat‐based diets (RMBDs), is limited in many countries, including Spain. Methods An anonymous cross‐sectional web‐based survey was conducted to assess the Spanish population's understanding and perceptions of RMBDs for cats and dogs.

Background The potential for the transfer of zoonotic diseases, including bacteria between human and non‐human primates (NHPs), is expected to rise. It is posited that NHPs that live in close contact with humans serve as sentinels and reservoirs for ...

Near real-time enumeration of live and dead bacteria using a fibre-based spectroscopic device [PDF]
A rapid, cost-effective and easy method that allows on-site determination of the concentration of live and dead bacterial cells using a fibre-based spectroscopic device (the optrode system) is proposed and demonstrated. Identification of live and dead bacteria was achieved by using the commercially available dyes SYTO 9 and propidium iodide, and ...

Resistance in zoonotic bacteria
In 2022, compared to 2021, the number of Campylobacter jejuni (285) and Salmonella Typhimurium (190) isolates from humans tested for antimicrobial susceptibility decreased, although the number of outbreaks increased, from three to ten for C. jejuni and from three to six for S. Typhimurium.

Assessing pet owners’ knowledge and comprehension of veterinary medical terminology
Abstract Background Veterinary communication plays a key role in client satisfaction, patient outcomes and clinician wellbeing. Communication assessment tools can help to facilitate improvement strategies. Methods Over a 5‐month period, pet owners attending a small animal hospital were asked to complete a survey assessing their understanding of ...
