Article Synopsis
  • Monitoring stranded marine mammals helps assess their health and conservation status within marine ecosystems globally.
  • This study analyzes pathogen prevalence among cetaceans stranded in Italy from 2015 to 2020, highlighting the challenges faced during post-mortem examinations due to decomposition and logistics.
  • Statistical findings indicate a correlation between age and sex of the mammals and the presence of pathogens, suggesting a need for improved diagnostic frameworks for better conservation strategies.

is the etiological agent of the listeriosis. Here, we described three draft genome sequences of isolated in Italy from stranded individuals of the striped dolphin . All the genomes have been molecular typed through the multilocus sequence typing to identify the phylogenetic lineage, clonal complex, sublineage, and serogroup.

Reptiles, including snakes, can be asymptomatically infected with multiple pathogen microorganisms, including Salmonella spp., which is considered an important concern for public and animal health. Small and uninhabited isles are quite ecologically different from mainland and represent interesting fields of study, to discover unexpected biological and microbiological aspects of their wild inhabitants.
