Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of a Nocardia cyriacigeorgica strain causing severe bovine mastitis in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is a well-known agent of human nocardiosis and is considered an emerging pathogen, however, its identification to the species level is complex for many clinical laboratories. Available data on the clinical significance of N. cyriacigeorgica in veterinary medicine are sparse and mainly concern isolated reports of pyogranulomatous lesions in domestic animals.

Comparison of biofilm production and virulence genes distribution among human and canine isolates of .

Background: is an important human and animal pathogen that can cause a wide range of infections due to numerous virulence factors.

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare biofilm formation ability with different virulence factors such as bacterial motility, genes encoding biofilm associated proteins, and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) among human and canine isolates of

Methods: A total of 60 human (30 methicillin sensitive (MSSA) and 30 methicillin resistant . (MRSA)) and 17 canine (all MSSA) isolates of were tested for the capability of biofilm production, motility assay, and presence of genes encoding virulence factors: (encoding intercellular adhesion), (encoding biofilm-associated protein), (encoding fibronectin-binding protein A), (encoding collagen-binding protein), and (encoding PVL).

Epidemiology and risk factors of trichinellosis in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1961 to 2021.

This study is a retrospective analysis of social, economic, political, and cultural events on the annual incidence of trichinellosis in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). It highlights the importance of specific regulations, which have been incorporated into developing preventive protection against this human disease for the last 61 years since it has been monitored by law. In the period, 1961-2021, 3828 people became infected.

The presence of malignant ovine babesiosis in Bosnia and Herzegovina indicates a possible emerging risk for Balkan region.

Malignant ovine babesiosis or ovine babesiosis caused by Babesia ovis is an important hemoprotozoan tick-borne disease of sheep. After 70 years, a study was conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the geographical areas of Podrinje and Eastern Herzegovina, aiming to molecularly identify and determine the presence of B. ovis infection in the sheep population.

Summer Season-Related Heat Stress Affects the Mineral Composition of Holstein Dams' Colostrum, and Neonatal Calves' Mineral Status and Hematological Profile.

This study examines the effect of season-related heat stress in dams on mineral status, and hematological profile of their calves. Ten Holstein dams (LowT group) were exposed to the 49-day-long period of low air temperature (5.2 ± 0.
