Географическое ограничение распространения вируса гепатита Е в диких кабанах (Sus scrofa) в районе Эмилия-Романья, Северная Италия.

Вирус гепатита Е (HEV) — вирус однострунной РНК, вызывающий острый вирусный гепатит у людей. Среди восьми известных генотипов HEV-3 и HEV-4 есть зоонотические, заражающие людей, свиней и диких кабанов. Недавно ГЭМ-3 также был обнаружен на красном олене, которое представляет собой еще один резервуар ГЭМ. Потребление сырой свинины (главным образом сосисок печени), недожаренного диких кабанового мяса, сырой дикой кабаны печени и оленей является причиной того, что люди во всем мире питаются ГЭМ. В период с ноября 2018 года по март 2019 года пробы печени, собранные на 97 диких кабанах, охотившихся

Cotylophoron panamensis (Trematoda: Paramphistomidae) in Mazama americana (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) free-living in remote areas in the Peruvian Amazon.

Trematodes of the genus Cotylophoron cause mucosal lesions in pre-stomachs and in small intestine in cattle, generating losses in animal production. In the Northeastern Peruvian Amazon, the presence of Cotylophoron panamensis in the 16.7% (4/24) in free-living red brocket deers (Mazama americana) in areas distant from livestock farming suggests the red brocket is a natural wild host of C. panamensis.

[Species composition, localization, and dynamic of the development of subcutaneous gadfly larvae in the organism of marals].

The terms of the parasitizing of subcutaneous gadfly Hypoderma diana larvae in the organism of marals are established for the first time. The method of parasitological autopsies was used in this study. Localization, dynamic of the development and change of linear size and body weight of the H. diana larvae in the host organism are estimated. The survival rate of the gadfly from the moment of oviposition up to the fallout of the larvae for pupation is evaluated.

Thermographic imaging in a dog with macroglossia from an encircling, strangulating lingual linear foreign body.

A dog presented 16 hours after an acute onset of severe generalized lingual swelling from an unknown cause. The dog had recently chewed a deer carcass. Initial physical examination and diagnostic testing did not reveal an underlying cause, and supportive care was provided. After 16 hours of hospitalization strangulating organic foreign material was found at the base of the tongue and removed. Macroglossia and secondary superficial lingual necrosis were successfully managed with supportive care while the patient was hospitalized. Thermographic imaging was used and indicated lingual hypothermia …

Genetic analyses of the parasitic nematode, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, in Missouri and Kentucky reveal unexpected levels of diversity and population differentiation.

Wildlife translocations, which involve the introduction of naive hosts into new environments with novel pathogens, invariably pose an increased risk of disease. The meningeal worm Parelaphostrongylus tenuis is a nematode parasite of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), which serves as its primary host and rarely suffers adverse effects from infection. Attempts to restore elk (Cervus canadensis) to the eastern US have been hampered by disease caused by this parasite. Using DNA sequence data from mitochondrial and nuclear genes, we examined the hypothesis that elk translocated within …

Outbreak of brucellosis in domestic elk in Korea.

Seven of 18 elk on a deer farm were found by the official Rose-Bengal agglutination test (RBT) and tube agglutination test to be brucellosis reactors/suspects. Evaluation with the competitive ELISA (C-ELISA) and the fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) tests revealed that six and five sera were positive respectively. The seven reactors/ suspects were slaughtered and their blood and tissues were collected. Brucella species could be isolated from three of the slaughtered animals, with nine isolates being obtained from the popliteal, supramammary and submandibular lymph nodes, vaginal discharge,…

Effects of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene on wild rodents at Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA.

Effects of inhalation of volatilized trichloroethylene (TCE) or perchloroethylene (PCE) were assessed based on the health and population size of wild, burrowing mammals at Edwards Air Force Base (CA, USA). Organic soil-vapor concentrations were measured at three sites with aquifer contamination of TCE or PCE of 5.5 to 77 mg/L and at two uncontaminated reference sites. Population estimates of kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami and D. panamintinus) as well as hematology, blood chemistry, and histopathology of kangaroo rats and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were compared between contaminated …

Seasonality of Coxiella burnetii among Wild Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the Hyalomma lusitanicum (Acari: Ixodidae) in a Meso-Mediterranean Ecosystem.

(1) Background: Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii that have cases reported in humans and animals almost everywhere. The aim of this study was to describe the seasonality of Coxiella burnetii in the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the tick Hyalomma lusitanicum in a meso-Mediterranean ecosystem. (2) Methods: two populations of wild rabbits that differ in whether or not they share habitat with ungulates, mainly red deer (Cervus elaphus) were sampled for a year to collect ticks, blood and vaginal or anal swabs. Presence of C. burnetii DNA in swabs and the tick H. …

Myiasis of domestic and wild ruminants caused by Hypodermatinae in the Mediterranean and Indian subcontinent.

Myiasis caused by Hypodermatinae flies is an economically important disease affecting domesticated and wild ruminants in countries of the Mediterranean and Indian subcontinent. The adult flies have a short life span of 1 week, and they spread disease by laying their eggs on the coat of animals. Hypoderma spp. primarily lay their eggs on cattle, buffalo, roe deer, red deer and reindeer, while Przhevalskiana spp. lay eggs on the coat of goats. The larvae live as tissue parasites, inducing myiasis in the host, and have a major impact on the productivity and welfare of infested animals. Diagnosis …

Experimental xenoimplantation of antlerogenic cells into mandibular bone lesions in rabbits: two-year follow-up.

Different types of cells require activation, and take part in annual, dynamic growth of deer antlers. Stem cells play the most important role in this process. This report shows the results of a two-year long observation of xenogenic implant of antlerogenic stem cells (cell line MIC-1). The cells were derived from growing antler of a deer (Cervus elaphus), seeded onto Spongostan and placed in postoperative lesions of mandibular bones of 15 experimental rabbits. The healing process observed in the implantation sites in all rabbits was normal, and no local inflammatory response was ever observed.…

Poisoning of wildlife with anticoagulant rodenticides in New York.

From 1971 through 1997, we documented 51 cases (55 individual animals) of poisoning of non-target wildlife in New York (plus two cases in ad … half of the cases. Gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), raccoons (Procyon lotor) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were the most frequently poisoned mammals. All of the deer originated from a rather unique situation on a barrier island off southern Long Island (New York). Restrictions on the use of brodifacoum appear warranted.

Distance measurements between 5 nanometer diamonds - single particle magnetic resonance or optical super-resolution imaging?

5 nanometer sized detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) are studied as potential single-particle labels for distance measurements in biomolecules. … l magnetic dipole-dipole coupling between two NV centers in close DNDs using a pulse ODMR sequence (DEER). The electron spin coherence time, a key parameter to reach long distance DEER measurements, was prolonged using dynamical decoupling reaching T 2,DD ≈ 20 μs, extending the Hahn echo decay time T 2 by one order of magnitude. Nevertheless, an inter- …

Low risk of Lyme borreliosis in a protected area on the Tyrrhenian coast, in central Italy.

A comprehensive Lyme borreliosis risk assessment process was applied in S. Rossore Estate, on the Tyrrhenian coast, near Pisa, Italy. Host-seeking Ixodes ricinus nymphs peaked in May in oak-dominated deciduous wood (median, Q1-Q3, number of nymphs/50 m dragging = 4.5, 2.5-8), whereas host-seeking larvae peaked in August in the same habitat type (6.0, 4-17/50 m dragging). Prevalence of I. ricinus infestation was 88.9% in wild rodents (n = 11), 64.3% in fallow deer (n = 28) and 0.0% in wild boars (n = 5). Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was not isolated from rodents' organs, and from 80 I. ricin…

Susceptibility of Livestock, Wildlife, and Domestic Host Species Cells to the 2022-2025 Reassortant Oropouche Virus.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is an emerging zoonotic arthropod-borne virus of public health importance. The host range of OROV is largely unknown, but antibody evidence suggests that wildlife and livestock species could be susceptible hosts. To identify potential North American mammalian reservoir hosts, OROV replication curves were generated using eight cell lines derived from livestock, wildlife, and domestic animal species (cow, sheep, bison, white-tailed deer, elk, pig, horse, and dog). The virus replicated in all cell lines by 48 h post infection, except for the horse cells. OROV replication su…

Serologic Survey of Brucella spp. in Culled Invasive Alien Mammals from El Palmar National Park, Argentina, and in Exposed Consumers.

Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella spp. and transmitted from domestic and wild animals to humans. Brucellosis causes important economic losses in livestock, has a significant impact on public health, and may affect the health of wildlife. Hunting and consumption of meat from culled wildlife constitute a risk for Brucella spp. infection in humans and hunting dogs. In El Palmar National Park (EPNP), Argentina, the invasive alien mammals wild boar (Sus scrofa) and axis deer (Axis axis) are controlled, slaughtered in situ, and consumed by hunters, with meat trimmings an…

Darunavir-Resistant HIV-1 Protease Constructs Uphold a Conformational Selection Hypothesis for Drug Resistance.

Multidrug resistance continues to be a barrier to the effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy in the treatment of human immuno … resonance (PELDOR) paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, namely double electron-electron resonance (DEER). The results show that the accumulated substitutions alter the conformational landscape compared to PI-naïve protease where the semi-open conformation is destabilized as the dominant population with open-like states becoming prevalent in many cases …

Parasite species co-occurrence patterns on Peromyscus: Joint species distribution modelling.

Hosts are often infested by multiple parasite species, but it is often unclear whether patterns of parasite co-occurrence are driven by parasite habitat requirements or parasite species interactions. Using data on infestation patterns of ectoparasitic arthropods (fleas, trombiculid mites, cuterebrid botflies) from deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), we analyzed species associations using joint species distribution modelling. We also experimentally removed a flea (Orchopeas leucopus) from a subset of deer mice to examine the effect on other common ectoparasite species. We found that the mite (N…

Though not reservoirs, dogs might transmit Leptospira in New Caledonia.

Leptospira has been a major public health concern in New Caledonia for decades. However, few multidisciplinary studies addressing the zoonotic pattern of this disease were conducted so far. Here, pig, deer and dog samples were collected. Analyses were performed using molecular detection and genotyping. Serological analyses were also performed for dogs. Our results suggest that deer are a reservoir of L. borgpetersenii Hardjobovis and pigs a reservoir of L. interrogans Pomona. Interestingly, 4.4% of dogs were renal carriers of Leptospira. In dog populations, MAT results confirmed the circulatio…

Environmental enrichment: effects on stereotyped behavior and regional neuronal metabolic activity.

The present study evaluated whether environmental enrichment-related effects on the development of stereotyped behavior in deer mice were associated with alterations in neuronal metabolic activity. Deer mice were reared under either enriched or standard housing conditions for 60 days following weaning. All mice were then placed in automated photocell detectors and classified as either stereotypic or non-stereotypic. Neuronal metabolic activity was then assessed using cytochrome oxidase (CO) histochemistry. The results demonstrated that environmental enrichment significantly increased neuronal …
