| molecular investigation of the occurrence of coxiella burnetii in wildlife and ticks in an endemic area. | at present few studies have been carried out on the distribution and incidence of coxiella burnetii infection in wildlife. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of c. burnetii in the main wild species in the basque country (northern spain), such as carnivores, cervids, wild boar, lagomorphs and several species of birds. tissues from a total of 601 animals and 340 adult ticks collected from them were analyzed by pcr. dna of c. burnetii was detected in 5.1% of roe de ... | 2011 | 20580169 |
| prevalence of yersinia enterocolitica and yersinia pseudotuberculosis in wild boars in the basque country, northern spain. | yersiniosis is a zoonosis widely distributed in europe and swine carry different serotypes of yersinia enterocolitica and y. pseudotuberculosis. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of y. enterocolitica and y. pseudotuberculosis in wild boars in northern spain. the blood of wild boars (n = 505) was sampled between 2001 and 2012. seroprevalence was determined in 490 serum samples with an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. seventy-two of the animals were also examined for ... | 2016 | 26790625 |
| faecal shedding and strain diversity of listeria monocytogenes in healthy ruminants and swine in northern spain. | listeria monocytogenes is among the most important foodborne bacterial pathogens due to the high mortality rate and severity of the infection. l. monocytogenes is a ubiquitous organism occasionally present in the intestinal tract of various animal species and faecal shedding by asymptomatically infected livestock poses a risk for contamination of farm environments and raw food at the pre-harvest stages. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and strain diversity of l. monocytogene ... | 2009 | 19133125 |
| salmonella isolates from wild birds and mammals in the basque country (spain). | the authors investigated the prevalence of salmonella spp. in 205 wild birds and mammals belonging to 45 species during the years 2001 and 2002 in the basque country (spain). salmonella was isolated from 16 (7.8%) animals. the prevalence was 8.5% (7/82) in birds, and 7.2% (9/123) in mammals. nine serotypes, all of them belonging to the species salmonella enterica, were identified: two isolates of typhimurium (from 1/3 griffon vultures [gyps fulvus], and 1/5 sparrowhawks [accipiter nisus]); one o ... | 2004 | 15861885 |
| [comparison of yersinia enterocolitica strains isolated from swine and humans in guipuzcoa]. | yersinia enterocolitica biotype 4, serotype 3 is a pathogenic bacteria for men. its most likely reservoir are pigs. we have compared 48 y. enterocolitica serotype 0:3 strains isolated from pig's tonsils samples as well as porcine-derived food with 301 y. enterocolitica serotype 0:3 isolate from human stool's samples. all strains are positive for virulence tests. yersinia enterocolitica serotype 0:3, biotype 4, phage-type viii was nearly the only single pathogenic strain isolated from both origin ... | 1992 | 1606219 |
