Article Synopsis
- The study monitored the circulation of Influenza A virus (AIV) in wild ducks and birds in Lombardy from 2022-2024, analyzing samples collected from hunting and dead birds using real-time RT-PCR and whole genome sequencing.
- Out of 3,497 hunted ducks, 184 tested positive for AIV, revealing 21 different subtypes, with H5N1 HPAIV being the most common during winter 2022-2023.
- In surveys of dead wild birds, notably buzzards and gulls, two buzzards and one grey heron tested positive for H5N1, while gulls showed a significant increase in positivity from 0% in 2022 to 51%
Article Synopsis
- Salmonellosis in dairy cattle is rising in Italy, impacting public and animal health, yet there's currently no control plan for dairy farms.
- A study focused on a Bredeney outbreak in a dairy farm detailed the infection spread, environmental contamination, and management measures taken, revealing that 48% of calf samples and 33% of environmental samples tested positive.
- The implementation of a health management plan helped control the outbreak, resulting in all follow-up samples being negative, showcasing the effectiveness of collaboration and indirect prophylactic measures in managing Salmonella outbreaks in complex farming environments.
We isolated Issyk-Kul virus (ISKV) from a bat sampled from Italy in 2021 and conducted ISKV-specific surveillance in bats collected in Italy during 2017-2023. ISKV circulation among synanthropic and sedentary species of bat, such as Savi's pipistrelle bat (Hypsugo savii) in northern Italy, may have public health implications in this region.

Intellectual disability, developmental delay, behavioral problems, epilepsy, sleep disturbances, and brain malformations have been described in most individuals, with a broad phenotypic spectrum. This observational study, conducted through brain MRI scan analysis on a cohort of patients with genetically confirmed PKS, aims to systematically investigate the neuroradiological features of this syndrome and identify the possible existence of a typical pattern.
