Wild birds and urban pigeons as reservoirs for diarrheagenic Escherichia coli with zoonotic potential
(2017-05-01)
In order to describe the role of wild birds and pigeons in the transmission of shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) to humans and other animals, samples were collected from ...
Characterization of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from free-range helmeted guineafowl
(2018-11-01)
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) isolates from apparently healthy free range helmeted guineafowl were characterized. Most of them had a high frequency of virulence associated genes, multi drug resistance and high ...
Frequency and factors associated of potential zoonotic pathogens (Borrelia spp., Rickettsia spp., Leishmania spp., and Anaplasma phagocytophilum) in equids in the state of Bahia, Brazil
(2021-12-01)
Background: Currently, various zoonotic diseases are classified as emerging or reemerging. Because equids have a direct relationship with various vectors, they are possibly more frequently exposed to zoonotic agents than ...
Survey of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in native foxes in central Chile: first record of brucella canis exposure
(MDPI, 2021)
Simple Summary Wild canids play a crucial role in the environment, being an ecological agent of flora dispersal, top predators, and environmental sentinels for zoonotic emerging pathogens, such as Brucella spp. and pathogenic ...
Land-use change and rodent-borne diseases: hazards on the shared socioeconomic pathways
(Royal Soc, England, 2021)
Land-use change has a direct impact on species survival and reproduction,
altering their spatio-temporal distributions. It acts as a selective force that
favours the abundance and diversity of reservoir hosts and affects ...
Enteric bacteria in Olrog's Gull and Kelp Gull from the Estuary of Bahía Blanca, Argentina
(Asociación Ornitológica del Plata, 2014-12)
El estuario de Bahía Blanca en Argentina se encuentra bajo el efecto de la contaminación microbiológica a partir del vertido de desagües cloacales sin tratamiento previo y los patógenos asociados. En este estuario existen ...
Overlapped Sequence Types (STs) and Serogroups of Avian Pathogenic (APEC) and Human Extra-Intestinal Pathogenic (ExPEC) Escherichia coli Isolated in Brazil
(Public Library Science, 2014-08-12)
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains belong to a category that is associated with colibacillosis, a serious illness in the poultry industry worldwide. Additionally, some APEC groups have recently been described ...
Megafauna decline have reduced pathogen dispersal which may have increased emergent infectious diseases
(2020-08-01)
The Late Quaternary extinctions of megafauna (defined as animal species > 44.5 kg) reduced the dispersal of seeds and nutrients, and likely also microbes and parasites. Here we use body-mass based scaling and range maps ...
Antibiotic resistance and virulence factors among escherichia coli isolates from avian organic fertilizerResistência a antibióticos e fatores de virulência entre isolados de escherichia coli provenientes de fertilizante orgânico aviário
(2020-01-01)
Brazilian poultry industry generates large amounts of organic waste, such as chicken litter, which is often used in agriculture. Among the bacteria present in organic fertilizer are members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, ...
Novel Parvoviruses from Wild and Domestic Animals in Brazil Provide New Insights into Parvovirus Distribution and Diversity
(Mdpi, 2018-04-01)
Parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) are small, single-stranded DNA viruses. Many parvoviral pathogens of medical, veterinary and ecological importance have been identified. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing ...
