Epidemiological factors conditioning sarcoptic mange spreading in wild boar (Sus scrofa).

Sarcoptic mange is a widely distributed disease, with numerous potential hosts among domestic and wild animals. Nowadays it is considered a neglected re-emergent infection in humans. As a difference with domestic pigs, and even with several clinical cases reported in some European countries, it seems that Eurasian wild boars (Sus scrofa) have a low susceptibility to clinical mange.

Complete sequencing of the Cryptosporidium suis gp60 gene reveals a novel type of tandem repeats-Implications for surveillance.

Cryptosporidiosis is an infectious enteric disease caused by species (some of them zoonotic) of the genus Cryptosporidium that in many countries are under surveillance. Typing assays critical to the surveillance of cryptosporidiosis typically involve characterization of Cryptosporidium glycoprotein 60 genes (gp60). Here, we characterized the gp60 of Cryptosporidium suis from two samples-a human and a porcine faecal sample-based on which a preliminary typing scheme was developed.

Molecular Detection and Epidemiology of Potentially Zoonotic spp. and in Wild Boar () from Eastern Spain.

The protozoans and spp. are common causes of gastrointestinal disease in humans and animals. While both are commonly documented in domestic animals, few studies have analysed their presence in wildlife.

Genomic Characterization of in Wildlife.

is an opportunistic multi-host pathogen that threatens both human and animal health. Animals can act as a reservoir of for humans, but very little is known about wild animals' epidemiological role. Therefore, in this study, we performed a genomic characterization of isolates from wildlife, hunters, and their auxiliary hunting animals of Eastern Spain.
