| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
