Simple Summary
Aspergillosis is an important fungal disease occurring in avian fauna, especially in birds kept in captivity. In Psittaciformes, severe disease occurs in the lungs and air sacs, with the development of white-to-yellow caseous nodules and plaques in the organs, in addition to greenish-grey fungal growth in the air sacs. Herein, we rep...
Background
Rabies is the oldest fatal zoonotic disease recognised as a neglected tropical disease and is caused by an RNA virus belonging to the genus Lyssavirus, family Rhabdoviridae.
Methodology/Principal findings
A deep molecular analysis was conducted on full-length nucleoprotein (N) gene and whole genome sequences of rabies virus from 37 anim...

Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment 2022, 55 (2), 233-243. https://doi.org/10.46909/alse-552060 ABSTRACT. This study assessed seasonal incidence, economic losses, the effic...
Bovine cutaneous fibropapillomas are among the most common skin tumors in cattle; their etiology is associated with infection by bovine papillomavirus (BPV) types−1/-2 which are considered oncogenic. Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), especially collagenolysis, is a key event during a series of relevant physiological processes, includin...
Introduction
Bovine papillomaviruses −1/−2 (BPVs) are small non-enveloped double-stranded DNA viruses able to infect the skin of bovids and equids, causing development of neoplastic lesions such as bovine cutaneous fibropapillomas and equine sarcoid. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that degrade basal me...
Leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease considered to be one of the twenty neglected diseases by the World Health Organization, represents one of the public health concerns in endemic countries. In humans, as well as in animal counterparts, the infection can evolve with different clinical localizations, such as those that are cutaneous, mucocutaneous...
Background:
In the last few decades, Romania has been considered one of the European countries most affected by animal rabies, but a combination of oral rabies vaccination (ORV) campaigns in foxes alongside mandatory vaccination of pets has substantially decreased the number of rabies cases in recent years. The objective of this study was to detec...
When calves are born they have no innate immunity so consumption of an adequate volume of high-quality colostrum in the firs hours of life is vital to a dairy calf's ability to survive and become a productive herd member. Colostrum handing and feeding are essential management protocols for dairy producers. The aims of this study were to investigate...
Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic parasitosis caused by a diphasic protozoan of the genus Leishmania. The dogs are considered the main domestic reservoir of L. infantum and its transmission occurs mainly through sand flies. We report the case of a 10 yr old Italian Segugio dog in Mar 2016 from Iasi County-Moldova Region, northeastern Romania, referred to...
In order to obtain an overview of the situation of rabies positive cases, but also to establish a true prevalence of the disease among domestic and wild animals, an epidemiological survey was conducted in the north east of the country, targeting the 8 counties of Moldova region,over a period of eight years, between 2010 and 2017. A total of 2306 br...
The goat flock in our country is steadily increasing, so that if 1072013 animals were reported in 2007, they were 1804478 in December 2016 that reflecting the growing interest of breeders for this species. This paper aims to highlight the dynamics of infectious pathology in the goat population in the Northeast region of Romania during 2014-2017, th...
Rabies is one of the fatal zoonotic diseases that affects all warm mammals and humans, caused by a highly neurotropic virus belonging to the Rhabdoviridae family, Lyssavirus genus. As recommended by the OIE, the RTCIT can be performed on various systems such as: 96-well microtitration plates, 60 or 96 well HLA (human leukocyte antigen) plastic plat...
Rabies is one of the most feared zoonotic diseases worldwide, caused by a virus of the genus Lyssavirus, Rhabdoviridae family. In order to evaluate the efficacy of oral vaccination campaigns of foxes against rabies, two methods are agreed by WHO and OIE, namely: the quantification of rabies antibodies and the detection of a biomarker (tetracycline)...
The research was realized on a number of 406 samples collected from equine population located in Eastern part of Romania. Samples were tested using enzyme linked immunoassay in order to evidence antibodies against equine arteritis virus. Seroprevalence varied depending on region.
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of constant importance as causative microbial agent, maintained by subclinical infections in wild and domestic animals. Currently, for active immunization in dogs is used an inactivated vaccine, produced by specialized companies in different countries. The vast majority are polyvalent vaccines, which include the two lept...
West Nile virus (WNV) infections are still present in Romania, especially in the south east area of the country where the climate is favorable for the vector transmission of the virus in animal and human population.
The serological evaluation of the horses from the areas susceptible to feed the WNV infection gave us important epidemiological data r...
Hepatitis E, caused by hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an infectious disease that in human show clinical and morphological feature of acute hepatitis. It is usually transmitted through food or drinking water contaminated with faecal materials. HEV was first detected in pigs in 1997 in SUA; since then swine infections have been described worldwide. In ge...
The increasing role played by domestic and wild fowls in infecting human food has determined us to carry out a study on the etiology and frequency of paratiphic infections in fowls. A number of 102 fowls were necropsied, of which 43 from the A enterprise and 61 from the B enterprise. In the A enterprise, 18 fowls (43.9%) have been diagnosed positiv...
