| sero-epidemiological survey on human and swine influenza a. situation at the onset of summer 1976. | a serological survey was performed to detect the presence of hi antibodies against the swine-like a/new jersey/76 (hsw1 n1) and the human a/victoria 3/75 (h3n2) virus strains in the sera of 700 subjects of different age, and of 244 swine. hi antibodies against a/new jersey/76 strain were not detected in 308 subjects younger than 31 years. they turned out to be present in 8% of the subjects from 31 to 43 years, always at low titre, and at a different titre, in 50% of the subjects from 44 to 58 ye ... | 1976 | 189788 |
| data on a fmd virus of type "a" isolated in italy in 1975. | a strain of fmd virus type a was isolated in a disease outbreak in alessandria, italy, in december 1975. affected animals were young unvaccinated bovines and pigs of a very restricted region. no further spread has been observed. the strain was compared with some subtype strains of type a, including the italian vaccinal strain. this italy 1975 strain differs from all the other viruses included in the performed tests. | 1976 | 198284 |

| analysis of 11 tetrameric strs in wild boars for forensic purposes. | str profiling of animal species has a wide range of applications, including forensic identification, wildlife preservation, veterinary public health protection and food safety. we tested the efficacy of a multiplex pcr-based assay including 11 porcine-specific tetrameric strs in a population sample of wild boars (n=142) originating from piedmont (north west italy). multiple deviations from hardy-weinberg expectations were observed, mostly due to a reduction in observed heterozygosity indicative ... | 2010 | 20685189 |
| epidemiologic survey for brucella suis biovar 2 in a wild boar (sus scrofa) population in northwest italy. | in 2001, antibodies to brucella spp. were detected in the wild boar (sus scrofa) population of regional park in the piedmont, northwest italy. this was the first report of swine brucellosis in italian wildlife, and in response, we conducted a survey on wild boars culled in the park to evaluate the presence and epidemiologic pattern of brucella. in total, 2,267 serum samples and 1,841 tissue samples were collected and tested from 2001 to 2007. differences in antibody and infection prevalence amon ... | 2009 | 19901393 |
| detection of salmonella in finishing pigs on farm and at slaughter in piedmont, italy. | salmonella is one of the most common causes of human gastroenteritis often associated with pork consumption. the aims of this cross-sectional study were to collect preliminary data on the presence of salmonella enterica in pigs in piedmont (italy), through sampling on farm and at slaughter and to gather pilot data on serotypes and phagetypes present in the sampled area and distribution of anti-microbial resistance among isolated strains. salmonella was detected through culture and identified wit ... | 2009 | 19068072 |
| detection of helicobacter candidatus suis by pcr in oesophagogastric ulcers of swine in italy. | the aim of this study was to evaluate by pcr the presence of helicobacter spp. in gastric mucus from the fundic region of the stomach and to investigate its role in oesophagogastric ulcers in swine bred and regularly slaughtered in piedmont (northern italy). stomachs from 595 regularly slaughtered swine were subjected to gross pathological examination in order to evaluate the presence of gastric ulcers (revealed in 75 cases, 12.6%). histopathological examination was performed to better character ... | 2006 | 17278723 |
| seroprevalence study of tick-borne encephalitis, borrelia burgdorferi, dengue and toscana virus in turin province. | tick borne encephalitis virus (tbev) is present in some european countries and it is transmitted by a tick bite. ixodes ricinus is the main vector of the infection in italy, where fortunately clinical neurological manifestations, typical of the more serious phase of the disease, are very rarely observed. this behaviour is different from other endemic euroasiatic areas where numerous cases of encephalitis are described. however tbe transmission has not been widely investigated in italy and availa ... | 2007 | 16312014 |
| seroprevalence study of tick borne encephalitis in turin province. | tick borne encephalitis (tbe) virus is diffused in some european countries and it is transmitted by tick bites. in italy isodex ricinus represents the main vector of the infection, that rarely produces the neurologic manifestations, characterising the secondary phase of the same. | 2002 | 12094141 |
| [tuberculosis in animals]. | tuberculosis is a well known disease for immemorial time and very diffuse in animals. today the technological progress of zoo technology decreased the incidence of tuberculosis in animals and at the same time, it modified the epidemiological characteristics in all animal species. we can confirm that in intensive pig- and chicken raising tuberculosis is now quite inexistent. about sanitary reclamation, unfortunately italy takes a very low position among european countries, since the eradication o ... | 1984 | 6709193 |
| genome analysis of african swine fever virus isolated in italy in 1983. | an african swine fever virus (asfv) isolated in an 1983 outbreak of the disease in piemonte, italy, was related by restriction endonuclease analysis of the viral genome to asfv strains isolated in the dominican republic (1978), haiti (1981) and cameroon (1982). | 1987 | 2821672 |
| [importance of the wild boar in the epidemiology of wild trichinellosis in piedmont and liguria]. | muscle samples from 1,508 wild boars (sus scrofa) harvested in piedmont and liguria between 1987 and 1990 were examined for larvae of trichinella sp. by trichinelloscopy and peptic digestion. no wild boar was infected, though trichinellosis was present in foxes (vulpes vulpes) from the same areas (14 positives out of 608) with the highest prevalence in the mountain range (25.0%). infection was also not found in 40 stone martens, 5 badgers and 3 stoats. five vulpine isolates were identified as be ... | 1990 | 2132444 |
