Presence of in Bulk Tank Milk and Associated Risk Factor Analysis in Serbian Dairy Farms.

() is a significant pathogen responsible for highly transmissible mastitis in cattle globally. It primarily spreads through colostrum, milk, and semen. Cows with persistent infections act as carriers, intermittently releasing the pathogen, making their milk a pivotal factor in infection transmission.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of West Nile Virus Epidemic in South Banat District, Serbia, 2017-2019.

West Nile virus (WNV) is an arthropod-born pathogen, which is transmitted from wild birds through mosquitoes to humans and animals. At the end of the 20th century, the first West Nile fever (WNF) outbreaks among humans in urban environments in Eastern Europe and the United States were reported. The disease continued to spread to other parts of the continents.

Simulation and prediction of spread of COVID-19 in The Republic of Serbia by SEAIHRDS model of disease transmission.

As a response to the pandemic caused by SARS-Cov-2 virus, on 15 March 2020, the Republic of Serbia introduced comprehensive anti-epidemic measures to curb COVID-19. After a slowdown in the epidemic, on 6 May 2020, the regulatory authorities decided to relax the implemented measures. However, the epidemiological situation soon worsened again.

Suitability of individual and bulk milk samples to investigate the humoral immune response to lumpy skin disease vaccination by ELISA.

Background: The detection of antibodies against capripoxvirus has become easier with a commercially available ELISA validated for serum and plasma. In order to explore its suitability for immunological investigations on alternative samples, this study targeted milk as sample matrix available through non-invasive sampling.

Methods: Samples for this study were collected from dairy cows vaccinated against LSD in an area without reported LSD virus circulation.

Twenty-five-year study of spp. in honey bees () in Serbia.

A total of 7386 samples of adult honey bees from different areas of Serbia (fifteen regions and 79 municipalities) were selected for light microscopy analysis for species during 1992-2017. A selection of honey bee samples from colonies positive for microsporidian spores during 2009-2011, 2015 and 2017 were then subjected to molecular diagnosis by multiplex PCR using specific primers for a region of the 16S rRNA gene of species. The prevalence of microsporidian spore-positive bee colonies ranged between 14.

Humoral immune response to repeated lumpy skin disease virus vaccination and performance of serological tests.

Background: In the presented study we investigated the development of the humoral immune response against LSDV during the process of re-vaccination of cattle over a time span of 5 months. In addition, the performance of different serological techniques for antibody detection against LSDV was compared. For sample collection, an area without previous LSD outbreak reports in Serbia was selected.

Evidence of Aujeszky's disease in wild boar in Serbia.

Background: Aujeszky's disease is a viral disease of suids caused by Suid Herpesvirus 1. The disease has worldwide distribution with significant economic impact. In Serbia, there is neither an Aujeszky's disease eradication nor national vaccination programme of domestic pigs.

Multidimensional aspects of pain in myotonic dystrophies.

To analyze the frequency and intensity of pain and its association with different characteristics of patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2), 52 adult genetically confirmed DM1 and 44 DM2 patients completed the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire (BPI). Frequency and average intensity of pain on numerical rating scale (0-10) were similar in DM1 and DM2 (88% vs. 86% and 4.

Trichinella infections in different host species of an endemic district of Serbia.

Trichinella infections are endemic in the Balkan region of Europe. Though trichinellosis and agents thereof are serious problems for human health and animal husbandry, only a limited number of Trichinella isolates from Serbia have been identified at the species level so far. The aim of the present study was the surveillance and monitoring of Trichinella in domestic pigs and wild animals from the endemic district of Branicevo.

Application of GIS in epizootiological surveillance of swine trichinellosis in one endemic district in Serbia.

Application of new tools for epizootiological investigations in veterinary medicine, such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS), offers a new approach and possibilities for the eradication or control of infectious diseases. GIS is particularly useful for research conducted in small areas strongly impacted by man. Trichinellosis is a world-wide zoonosis, which is endemic in some European countries, Balkan district and Serbia in particular.

Structural analysis of a set of proteins resulting from a bacterial genomics project.

The targets of the Structural GenomiX (SGX) bacterial genomics project were proteins conserved in multiple prokaryotic organisms with no obvious sequence homolog in the Protein Data Bank of known structures. The outcome of this work was 80 structures, covering 60 unique sequences and 49 different genes. Experimental phase determination from proteins incorporating Se-Met was carried out for 45 structures with most of the remainder solved by molecular replacement using members of the experimentally phased set as search models.

The first bluetongue virus isolation in Yugoslavia.

Catarrhal fever in sheep or bluetongue (BT) has not been recorded in Yugoslavia until recently. During the first incidence of BT disease in Serbia and Montenegro in 2001, the authors conducted field studies on suspected cases of the disease and collected samples for laboratory diagnosis. BT virus (BTV) was isolated and identified as serotype 9 by the Institute for Animal Health in Pirbright, United Kingdom (the Office International des Epizooties BT reference laboratory).
