UnknownAssessing Schmallenberg Virus Disease in Sardinia (Italy) After the First Epidemic Episode in 2012.
Schmallenberg virus (SBV), an Orthobunyavirus transmitted by Culicoides, causes congenital malformations and mild symptoms, such as fever, reduced appetite, decreased milk production, and occasional diarrhea, in ruminants. First detected in Central Europe in 2011, SBV spread across the...

UnknownAbdominal drainage after elective colorectal surgery: propensity score-matched retrospective analysis of an Italian cohort.

Background

In Italy, surgeons continue to drain the abdominal cavity in more than 50 per cent of patients after colorectal resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of abdominal drain placement on early adverse events in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.

UnknownFirst molecular characterization of canine parvovirus strains in Sardinia, Italy.
Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is responsible of acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis in young dogs. CPV-2 emerged in 1978 in the USA, but new antigenic types, CPV-2a, 2b and 2c, have completely replaced the original type. In this study, we analyzed 81 animals collected in Sardinia, Italy. The VP2 se...

UnknownAfrican Swine Fever in Smallholder Sardinian Farms: Last 10 Years of Network Transmission Reconstruction and Analysis.
African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease of suids that frequently leads to death. There are neither licensed vaccines nor treatments available, and even though humans are not susceptible to the disease, the serious socio-economic consequences associated with ASF have made it one of the most seri...

UnknownAnaplasma Species in Ticks Infesting Mammals of Sardinia, Italy.
Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that are recognized for their ability to vector a wide variety of pathogens of viral, bacterial, protozoal, and helminthic nature to vertebrate hosts. Among the different diseases transmitted by ticks, also called "Tick-Borne Diseases" (TBD), many are zoonotic. ...

UnknownDistribution and Genetic Characterization of Border Disease Virus Circulating in Sardinian Ovine Flocks.
Border Disease (BD) is a worldwide distributed pathology accountable for significant losses in the sheep and goat farming industry. The etiological agent is a Pestivirus within the family Flaviviridae called border disease virus (BDV). Despite the Sardinian ovine population being by far larger than ...

UnknownIdentification of Echinococcus granulosus Genotypes G1 and G3 by SNPs Genotyping Assays.
Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) is the causative agent of cystic echinococcosis in animals and humans. Different E. granulosuss.l. genotypes exhibit great diversity in their life cycle, host selectivity and pathogenicity. For this reason, the study of genetic variation within Echinococcus ...

UnknownComparison of digital PCR and real time PCR methods for quantitative analysis of African Swine Fever Virus.

Introduction

The African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease of significant socio-economic and animal health impact, commonly diagnosed using molecular techniques. The World Organization of Animal Health (WOAH) has recommended two highly sensitive and specific real time polymerase chain rea...

UnknownmiRNA Stability in Frozen Plasma Samples.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a family of small non-coding ribonucleic acids that post-transcriptionally inhibits the expression of their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), thereby acting as general gene repressors. In this study we examined the relative quantity and stability of miRNA subjected to a lon...

UnknownA Review on Pathological and Diagnostic Aspects of Emerging Viruses-Senecavirus A, Torque teno sus virus and Linda Virus-In Swine.
Swine production represents a significant component in agricultural economies as it occupies over 30% of global meat demand. Infectious diseases could constrain the swine health and productivity of the global swine industry. In particular, emerging swine viral diseases are omnipresent in swine popul...
