| a case study of an outbreak of african swine fever in spain. | this report represents a case study of an outbreak of african swine fever (asf) that took place in the autonomic region of extramadura, badajoz province, during the month of august, 1992, and aims to describe the spanish asf eradication programme as carried out in the field at producer level. extensive husbandry methods used in the management of iberian pigs in asf endemic areas of spain (about 4% of spanish territory in 4/52 provinces) makes eradication particularly difficult. since there is no ... | 1995 | 8920116 |
| an epidemiological evaluation of mycobacterium bovis infections in wild game animals of the spanish mediterranean ecosystem. | recreational hunting of indigenous wild artiodactyls has been one of the most lucrative and rapidly growing industries in western spain over the last five years. in the absence of careful ecological management, one consequence of the commercial exploitation of this natural resource has been the appearance of outbreaks of infectious disease; most notably bovine tuberculosis. from the outset of the study in 1997, we have observed a steady increase in prevalence of mycobacterium bovis (m. bovis) in ... | 2006 | 16045949 |
| echinococcus granulosus infection in spain. | cystic echinococcosis (ce) caused by the cestode echinococcus granulosus is an endemic disease in spain. although specific control programmes initiated in the 1980s have led to marked reductions in ce infection rates in spain, the disease still remains an important human and animal health problem in many regions of the country. human incidence and livestock (including sheep, cattle, pigs and horses) prevalence data were gathered from national epidemiological surveillance information systems and ... | 2008 | 18331519 |
| rapid characterization of dry cured ham produced following different pdos by proton transfer reaction time of flight mass spectrometry (ptr-tof-ms). | in the present study, the recently developed proton transfer reaction time of flight mass spectrometry (ptr-tof-ms) technique was used for the rapid characterization of dry cured hams produced according to 4 of the most important protected designations of origin (pdos): an iberian one (dehesa de extremadura) and three italian ones (prosciutto di san daniele, prosciutto di parma and prosciutto toscano). in total, the headspace composition and respective concentration for nine spanish and 37 itali ... | 2011 | 21645714 |
| molecular epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis in wild animals in spain: a first approach to risk factor analysis. | in human tuberculosis (mycobacterium tuberculosis), molecular epidemiology has accurately indicated the risk factors involved in active transmission of the disease, by comparing individuals whose isolates belong to a cluster with patients whose strains are considered unique. nevertheless, this application has not been used in bovine tuberculosis (mycobacterium bovis). our study describes the integration of epidemiological data into molecular classification data on m. bovis isolates. these were i ... | 2005 | 16143470 |
| outbreak of trichinellosis in cáceres, spain, december 2001-february 2002. | an outbreak of trichinellosis by t. britovi occured in cáceres, spain, between 18 december 2001 and 11 february 2002, following the consumption of insufficiently cooked meat from a domestic pig. among the 56 people exposed, 26 cases of trichinellosis were diagnosed, of which 17 serologically confirmed. the mean incubation period was 23.5 days (3-45). among the foodstuffs suspected, salami-type sausages were associated with an attack rate of 93.3% (14/15), and a dose-response relationship was obs ... | 2002 | 12631992 |
| environmental and human influence on the ecology of trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi in western europe. | surveys on trichinella parasites in domestic and sylvatic animals collected in france, italy, and in the extremadura region of spain showed that the distribution of trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi is influenced by both environmental and human behaviour factors. in france, both trichinella species are prevalent in the fox population from mountain areas and natural parks but are infrequent in wild boars (< 0.001%). in italy, only t. britovi is present in sylvatic animals (foxes, wolve ... | 1996 | 8939049 |
| prevalence of antibodies to different leptospira interrogans serovars in pigs on large farms. | a seroepidemiological survey was carried out in the province of badajoz (south-western spain) in order to determine the presence and spread of leptospira interrogans. the 521 sera tested were drawn from breeding sows on 28 large farms (15 with fewer than 60 and 13 with over 60 breeders). immunological testing was performed using the martin-pettit micro-agglutination technique. pigs with titres equal to or greater than 1:100 were considered positive. haemolysed and/or contaminated test sera were ... | 1994 | 7701864 |

| comparative pathology of the natural infections by mycobacterium bovis and by mycobacterium caprae in wild boar (sus scrofa). | the potential role of wild animals in the maintenance and spread of tuberculosis (tb) infection in domestic livestock is of particular importance in countries where eradication programs have substantially reduced the incidence of bovine tuberculosis but sporadic outbreaks still occur. mycobacterium bovis is the agent mainly isolated in wildlife in spain, but recently, infections by mycobacterium caprae have increased substantially. in this study, we have analysed 43 mandibular lymph nodes sample ... | 2013 | 22469036 |
| high-density dependence but low impact on selected reproduction parameters of brucella suis biovar 2 in wild boar hunting estates from south-western spain. | porcine brucellosis is a disease caused by brucella suis, which is characterized by reproductive disorders in pigs. the number of cases of swine brucellosis has risen in many european countries, likely because of the presence of a wild reservoir of b. suis in wild boar. this study aimed at evaluating factors that may influence the probability of infection with brucella spp. in wild boar and at assessing the impact of a previous contact with brucella spp. on reproductive parameters of wild boar. ... | 2014 | 23347330 |
| outbreak of swine erysipelas in a semi-intensive wild boar farm in spain. | swine erysipelas (se) is a disease caused by the bacterium erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and is one of the best-known and most serious diseases affecting domestic pigs. however, few studies exist concerning the susceptibility of wild boars to this disease and the role of this species as a reservoir. this study investigates and describes an outbreak of se that occurred on a semi-intensive wild boar breeding farm housing 40 boars in extremadura (sw spain) on 11-18 february 2010. seven animals died, ... | 2011 | 21649879 |
| seroprevalence and risk factors associated with toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs from spain. | serum samples from 2970 (1400 sows, 1570 fattening) pigs, from 100 farms in the 10 main swine production regions in spain were tested for antibodies against t. gondii by the modified agglutination test (mat). antibodies to t. gondii (mat 1:25 or higher) were detected in 492 pigs (16.6%, 9.7% in fattening pigs and 24.2% in sows). the herd prevalence was 85.0% (95% ci: 78-92) and within-farm prevalence ranged from 2.9% to 92.8% (median=17.6%). statistically significant differences were observed am ... | 2010 | 20601110 |
| mixed infection, trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi, in a wild boar hunted in the province of cáceres (spain). | the etiological agents of human trichinellosis are distributed worldwide in domestic and wild animals. in spain, two morphologically indistinguishable trichinella species have been described--trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi--that are perpetuated in both domestic and sylvatic cycles. the present work reports a double natural infection involving these species in a wild boar killed by hunters in the province of cáceres, spain. after artificial digestion of the boar's muscles, nine larv ... | 2008 | 18466901 |
| sylvatic trichinellosis in southwestern spain. | the epidemiology of trichinella spp. in their main sylvatic hosts, wild boar (sus scrofa ferus and red fox (vulpes vulpes), in extremadura (southwestern spain) was studied. we examined 88 trichinella spp.-positive wild boar muscle-tissue samples from a total of 29,333 killed animals, referred to the veterinary parasitology department (university of extremadura, spain) by the extremadura veterinary service. additionally, 227 red foxes killed during the hunting season and thus not subject to veter ... | 2000 | 10941739 |
| bovine tuberculosis in wild boar (sus scrofa), red deer (cervus elaphus) and cattle (bos taurus) in a mediterranean ecosystem (1992-2004). | during the last 12 years, an increasing frequency in condemnation of hunted red deer and wild boar carcasses due to the presence of tubercle-like lesions has been observed in extremadura (western spain). before 1993, tuberculosis was a very rare finding in hunted animals. the current tuberculosis regional prevalence in cattle approaches 0.4% after years of expensive test and slaughter campaigns. it is imperative to investigate the epidemiology of mycobacterium bovis infection in red deer and wil ... | 2006 | 16297475 |
| spoligotype diversity and 5-year trends of bovine tuberculosis in extremadura, southern spain. | bovine tuberculosis (btb) causes significant losses to farming economies worldwide. a better understanding on the epidemiology of this disease and the role that the different hosts develop in the maintenance and spread of btb is vital to control this zoonotic disease. this study reports the spoligotype diversity and temporal evolution of mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (mtbc) isolates obtained from extremadura (southern spain). genotyping data of mycobacterium bovis (n = 2102) and mycobacteri ... | 2016 | 27524741 |
