Article Synopsis
- Vector-borne diseases pose significant health challenges due to their complex control and zoonotic nature, especially in tropical regions where vector activity is year-round.
- In Guadeloupe, a study analyzed blood samples from 46 outdoor dogs across five veterinary clinics to identify the presence of canine vector-borne pathogens, revealing that 30.4% of the dogs were infected.
- The most common pathogens found were Coxiella burnetii (17.4%) and Dirofilaria immitis (8.7%), while there were no infections from other commonly tested pathogens, highlighting a knowledge gap in vector-borne diseases in the Caribbean.
A total of 1019 samples collected on 726 Spanish swine farms suffering from outbreaks of respiratory disease were screened for influenza A viruses (IAVs) using a RT-qPCR method. A subset of positive samples was further analyzed using a subtype-specific RT-qPCR method (n: 142) and Sanger sequencing (n: 64). A total of 19.

Previous reports have indicated that the HRQL achieved by these patients is often poorer compared to that of healthy individuals. However, the factors contributing to this lower HRQL remain unclear.

This retrospective case series describes clinical and angiographic features of retinal vasculitis and serum cryoglobulins and is the most extensive series to our knowledge. Five female patients were diagnosed with retinal vasculitis and serum cryoglobulins.
