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 ...200919133125
[environmental services of the forest: an essay in an european atlantic river basin based on a central american experience].a conservation interest index (ci) was designed to numerically assess the natural quality or value of a given terrestrial area. this ci has been applied along the golako river watershed (biosphere reserve, basque country, spain). the area, although benefiting from some protection, is strongly influenced by human activities (forestry and cattle breeding). the ci is based on both available cartographic information about vegetation and fieldwork, the later needed to provide estimations for the vari ...200819419103
Identification and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in children and cattle populations from the province of Álava, North of Spain.The prevalence of and factors associated with the protozoan enteropathogens Cryptosporidium and Giardia have been investigated in selected children and cattle populations from the province of Álava (Northern Spain). The presence of these organisms was detected in fecal samples using commercially available coproantigen-ELISA (CpAg-ELISA) and immunochromatographic (ICT) assays. A total of 327 caregivers of children participants were asked to answer questions on risk factors potentially associated ...201122030246
serological evidence of leptospira interrogans serovar bratislava infection and its association with abortions in cattle in northern spain.a cross-sectional study was carried out in the basque country of spain to determine the seroprevalence of 10 leptospira serovars in a population of dairy cattle with poor fertility, and a case-control study was carried out in another northern area to investigate the role of leptospira interrogans serovar bratislava in abortions. l. bratislava was the most prevalent serovar in the cross-sectional study, with 25.4 per cent of the cows testing positive in the microagglutination test when a cut-off ...200515816182
prevalence and seasonal activity of ixodes ricinus (acari:ixodidae) on domestic ruminants of the basque country, spain.ixodes ricinus on domestic ruminants was sampled through a natural year at several points in the basque country, north spain. the sampling points were comprised of the different natural regions, according to climate and vegetation, into which the region is commonly divided. both the immature and adult stages were collected on cattle and sheep at five of the eight collecting points, namely in areas with a medium elevation, mild summers and a medium to high annual rainfall. the adults of this tick ...19979057304
q fever: prevalence of antibodies to coxiella burnetii in the basque country.the aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of coxiella burnetii infection in the basque population. to this end a stratified sampling was carried out taking as a criterion the size of the population in a given area of residence. residents in sparsely populated areas were found to have a prevalence of 38.5%, significantly greater than in highly populated areas (odds ratio [or] = 1.56; 95% confidence interval [ci]: 1.08-2.27 and or = 1.58; 95% ci: 1.09-2.30). the prevalence was signific ...19938144303
