Genetic diversity and known virulence genes in strains isolated from cattle abortions and farm environment.

is considered as non-pathogenic bacteria living in an environment although several cases of immunocompromised humans and ruminant listeriosis infections have been reported. Previously, L. was identified as a potential pathogen and virulence in association with L.

Prevalence, virulence determinants, and genetic diversity in Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from slaughtered pigs and pig carcasses.

Yersinia enterocolitica is an important zoonotic foodborne pathogen that could be transferred from infected pigs to their carcasses at slaughter, with subsequent introduction of the pathogen into the food chain. The aim of the present study was to study the prevalence, virulence characteristics, and genetic diversity of Y. enterocolitica isolates present in slaughtered pig tonsils and carcasses by using the WGS approach.

Virulence Determinants and Genetic Diversity of Species Isolated from Retail Meat.

is an important foodborne pathogen, and the determination of its virulence factors and genetic diversity within the food chain could help understand the epidemiology of yersiniosis. The aim of the present study was to detect the prevalence, and characterize the virulence determinants and genetic diversity, of species isolated from meat. A total of 330 samples of retailed beef (n = 150) and pork (n = 180) in Latvia were investigated with culture and molecular methods.

Characterization and Genetic Diversity of Isolated from Cattle Abortions in Latvia, 2013-2018.

can cause disease in humans and in a wide range of animal species, especially in farm ruminants. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and genetic diversity of related to 1185 cattle abortion cases in Latvia during 2013-2018. The prevalence of among cattle abortions was 16.

Development of a Novel Method for Identification of Mesocercariae by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.

() mesocercariae (AM) have increasingly appeared as incidental findings during the mandatory inspection of wild boars for in many European countries. An spp.-specific PCR is available for the identification of AM; however, it is time- and cost-intensive.
