First detection of atypical porcine pestivirus in piglets affected by congenital tremor in Poland.

Congenital tremors are neurological disorders of newborn piglets that may lead to serious health consequences, including increased mortality. Many reports have indicated that atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV), first identified in 2015, is a possible cause of this condition. In different countries, APPV was detected in farms affected by piglets' congenital tremors.

Serotypes, Antibiotic Susceptibility, Genotypic Virulence Profiles and SpaA Variants of Strains Isolated from Pigs in Poland.

The aim of the study was phenotypic and genotypic characterization of strains isolated from diseased pigs in Poland and comparison of the SpaA (Surface protective antigen A) sequence of wild-type strains with the sequence of the R32E11 vaccine strain. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was assessed using the broth microdilution method. Resistance genes, virulence genes, and serotype determinants were detected using PCR.

In Vitro Activity of Ebselen and Diphenyl Diselenide Alone and in Combination with Drugs against Strains.

Background: Dermatophytoses are one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in the world for which the pace of developing new drugs has not kept pace with the observed therapeutic problems. Thus, searching for new antifungals with an alternative and novel mechanism of action is necessary.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of ebselen and diphenyl diselenide against clinical isolates.

Laboratory Diagnosis and In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility of from Human Zoonoses and Cats.

The "One Health" concept increasingly demonstrates the global spread of pathogenic (also eukaryotic) microorganisms and their zoonotic potential. Dermatophytes can cause superficial mycoses in humans and animals. Furthermore, the number of transmissions from asymptomatic carriers to humans has been on the rise over the last few years.

Diagnostic and epidemiological analysis of Trichophyton benhamiae infection on an alpaca (Vicugna pacos) farm in Poland.

Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are growing in popularity and are increasingly being presented for veterinary care. Literature reports indicate that dermatophytosis occurring in alpacas accounted for about 3% of dermatological diagnoses. However, there are no reports regarding species of dermatophytes associated with alpacas and reservoirs of infection.
