El pasado mes de diciembre se publicó, por parte de la Dirección General sobre Salud y Consumidores, el informe anual de la UE sobre la vigilancia en rumiantes de las Encefalopatías Espongiformes Transmisibles (EETs), correspondiente al año 2010. En respuesta, el 30 de Enero de 2012, la EFSA emitió un comunicado mostrando su satisfacción por los resultados alcanzados.

In spite of great efforts for its control and eradication, tuberculosis remains one of the most important zoonosis worldwide. Its causative agents, the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, have a wide host range that complicates the epidemiology of this disease. Among susceptible species to these pathogens, camelids from the New World (llama, alpaca and vicuña) and Old World (Bactria...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/first-isolation-of-the-anamorph-of-kazachstania-heterogenica-from-a-fatal-infection-in-a-primate-host/37=432/Wed, 1 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100Investigationhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/first-isolation-of-the-anamorph-of-kazachstania-heterogenica-from-a-fatal-infection-in-a-primate-host/37=432/Medical Mycology publish this investigation article

We describe the isolation of the anamorph of the ascomycetous yeast Kazachstania heterogenica from a fatal infection in a 2 year, 9-month-old female white-handed gibbon (Hylobates lar). The yeast was observed in histological sections (lung and intestine) and co-isolated with the bacterium Escherichia coli from different internal organs. This is the first report of the recovery of this yeast from a...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/tuberculosis-due-to-mycobacterium-bovis-and-mycobacterium-caprae-in-sheep/37=439/Wed, 1 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100Investigationhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/tuberculosis-due-to-mycobacterium-bovis-and-mycobacterium-caprae-in-sheep/37=439/Investigation article published in The Veterinary Journal

Tuberculosis was diagnosed in three flocks of sheep in Galicia, Spain, in 2009 and 2010. Two flocks were infected with Mycobacterium bovis and one flock was infected with Mycobacterium caprae. Infection was confirmed by the comparative intradermal tuberculin test, bacteriology, molecular analysis and histopathology. Sheep have the potential to act as a reservoir for tuberculosis...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/tuberculosis-in-goats-assessment-of-current-in-vivo-cell-mediated-and-antibody-based-diagnostic-assays/37=409/Wed, 1 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100Investigationhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/tuberculosis-in-goats-assessment-of-current-in-vivo-cell-mediated-and-antibody-based-diagnostic-assays/37=409/Investigation article published in The Veterinary Journal

Tuberculosis in goats, mainly caused by Mycobacterium bovis and M. caprae, is a zoonotic disease with implications for public health, as well as having an economic impact due to decreased goat production, increased mortality rates and costs of diagnosis. There is an increasing need for surveillance of tuberculosis-infected goat herds, particularly in countries that are not officially free of bovin...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/chryseobacterium-oncorhynchi-sp-nov-isolated-from-rainbow-troutoncorhynchus-mykiss/37=473/Wed, 1 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100Investigationhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/chryseobacterium-oncorhynchi-sp-nov-isolated-from-rainbow-troutoncorhynchus-mykiss/37=473/Investigation published in Systematic and Applied Microbiology

Genotypic and phenotypic analyses were performed on five Gram-negative, catalase and oxidasepositive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from the gill and liver of four rainbow trout. Studies based on comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the five new isolates shared 99.8–100% sequence similarity and that they belong to the genus Chryseobacterium. The nearest phylogenetic neighbours of...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/application-of-the-enfer-chemiluminescent-multiplex-elisa-system-for-the-detection-of-mycobacterium-bovis-infection-in-goats/37=447/Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100Investigationhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/application-of-the-enfer-chemiluminescent-multiplex-elisa-system-for-the-detection-of-mycobacterium-bovis-infection-in-goats/37=447/Veterinary Microbiology publish this investigation article

A study was conducted to optimise a multiplex serological immunoassay for use in identification of goats infected with Mycobacterium bovis. To assess assay specificity, 31 goats with a history of being free from M. bovis infection were used. To determine assay sensitivity, 180 Single Intradermal Comparative Tuberculin test (SICTT) positive goats were recruited. Additionally, 286 SICTT negative goa...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/update-on-asf-research/34=1048/Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100Outreachhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/update-on-asf-research/34=1048/Oral communication in Fourth GF-TADS for Europe Steering Committee meeting (SC4) of the Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases for the Europe]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/asf-a-brief-overview-of-the-past-present-and-future/12=355/Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100Outreachhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/asf-a-brief-overview-of-the-past-present-and-future/12=355/3tres3.com publish this article

African Swine Fever (ASF) is probably the most complex disease affecting many pigs. An illness that made us Spaniards suffer a lot from 1960 to 1995 and that for some years has been very active in Africa and more recently, in Europe, where it is again posing a threat to the pig sector. Despite scientific efforts by different research groups in several countries, we still don’t have a vaccine again...]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/control-de-microorganismos-patogenos-en-platos-preparados-y-en-restauracion-colectiva-i/34=1052/Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100Outreachhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/control-de-microorganismos-patogenos-en-platos-preparados-y-en-restauracion-colectiva-i/34=1052/Oral communication in Master en Seguridad Alimentaria. 8ª Edición]]>http://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/bacteria-hunters-in-ghana/34=1047/Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100Outreachhttp://www.vigilanciasanitaria.es/en/bacteria-hunters-in-ghana/34=1047/Oral communication in Master en Seguridad Alimentaria. 8ª Edición

We report the diagnosis and molecular characterization of lobomycosis-like lesions in a captive bottlenose dolphin. The clinical picture and the absence of growth in conventional media resembled the features associated with Lacazia loboi. However sequencing of ribosomal DNA and further phylogenetic analyses showed a novel sequence more related to Paracoccidioides brasilensis than to L. loboi.

We investigated two mortality events in wintering and migrating Song Thrushes (Turdus philomelos) in Catalonia, northeastern Spain in 2009 and 2010. Both episodes occurred in late February to mid-March during the spring migration. Salmonellosis produced by the serotype Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Hessarek (S. Hessarek) was identified as the cause of death in both episodes. Poor bo...]]>
