Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Isabel Vela"
- Ana Isabel Vela's research primarily focuses on the detection and differentiation of bacterial pathogens affecting animal health, particularly in aquaculture and livestock, with recent studies addressing issues like lactococcosis in fish and bovine respiratory disease in feedlots.
- Her work includes developing multiplex PCR assays for rapid pathogen identification, establishing epidemiological cut-off values for antibiotic susceptibility, and evaluating immune responses in fish exposed to infections, which are crucial for improving disease management in aquaculture.
- Additionally, Vela's studies explore the impact of antimicrobial resistance in various animal species, including raccoons and cetaceans, highlighting the ecological and public health implications of zoonotic pathogens and the need for ongoing surveillance in these populations.
