Article Synopsis
- The study examined the presence of harmful bacteria in dairy cattle farms in northern Italy, focusing on samples collected between 2021 and 2022.
- Out of 2710 samples analyzed, calf carcasses were the most common source of bacteria, with key serotypes identified being Dublin, Typhimurium, and its monophasic variant.
- The findings also highlighted serious health issues in calves like enteritis and pneumonia, along with the dangerous presence of multi-resistant bacterial strains, posing a significant risk to both animal and public health.
Surveillance data collected in the period 2017-20 for Brucella spp. in wildlife of the Lombardy Region in northern Italy were used to describe the exposure of the wildlife species to Brucella spp. in wild boar (Sus scrofa), European brown hare (Lepus europaeus), fallow deer (Dama dama), red deer (Cervus elaphus), and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).

Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the serological prevalence to , , and var. in blood samples from wild boars () hunted in an anthropized area in Italy.

Although these patients could theoretically benefit from exercise-based rehabilitation (EBR) programs, their implementation is a challenge.
Objective: We present our initial experience on different delivery modes of a pilot EBR program in kidney and liver transplant recipients.
Wild birds play an important role in the circulation and spread of pathogens that are potentially zoonotic or of high economic impact on zootechnical production. They include, for example, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), avian influenza virus (AIV), and Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which, despite having mostly an asymptomatic course in wild birds, have a strong impact on public health and zootechnical production. This study investigated the presence of these viruses in several wild bird species from North Italy during the biennium 2019-2020.
