Different Types of Co-Infection by Contagious Ecthyma Virus, Enteropathogenic , , Ecto- and Endo-Parasites in Four Young Alpine Ibex ().

Animals (Basel)

December 2024

Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Piemonte, Liguria e Valle d'Aosta, Regione Amerique 7G, 11020 Quart, AO, Italy.

The research aimed to investigate the perinatal pathology of Alpine ibex () through the study of four young subjects (at the age of 3 to 4 months) found dead in Valle d'Aosta, a region of northwestern Italy. The carcasses were submitted to necropsy followed by an examination of ecto- and endoparasites (ECP and ENP); samples from the gross lesions (in summary, cutaneous papilloma and crusts, ocular discharge, lobular haemorrhagic areas in the lungs, catarrhal-haemorrhagic enterocolitis) were analysed by bacteriological, histopathological, and biomolecular methods to define the etiological agent. The subjects, with various co-infection patterns, were affected by contagious ecthyma virus (ORFV) (agent of a highly diffusive pustular dermatitis transmissible to small ruminants and humans), Enteropathogenic (EPEC) (major etiological agent of infantile diarrhoea especially in developing countries), (MC) (cause of an ocular infection common to goats and sheep), various ECP (ticks and keds) and ENP (lung and intestinal nematodes, and coccidia).

Background: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is a precursor of growth faltering in children living in impoverished conditions who are frequently exposed to environmental toxins and enteropathogens, leading to small bowel inflammatory, malabsorptive, and permeability derangements and low-grade chronic systemic inflammation.

Objectives: We explored the association between anthropometrics and duodenal histologic features of EED among children from 3 lower middle-income country centers.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, Pakistani children (n = 63) with wasting, Bangladesh children (n = 116) with stunting or at risk for stunting (height-for-age Z score [HAZ] <-1 but ≥-2), and Zambian children (n = 108) with wasting or stunting received nutritional intervention.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract. The complex pathophysiological mechanisms of IBD include genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and abnormal immune response of the gut microbiota. Gut microbiota forms a metabolic organ that contributes to human health by performing various physiological functions.

Foodborne illnesses caused by the consumption of contaminated foods have frequent occurrences in developing countries. The incorporation of contaminated water in food processes, preparation, and serving is directly linked to several gastrointestinal infections. Keeping in view, this study was conducted to assess the microbial quality of both drinking water sources and commonly consumed fresh ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in the region.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study in the Fez-Meknes region found that 44% of the 200 cooks tested had intestinal parasites, with Blastocystis being the most prevalent in 39.78% of those cases, often seen alongside other parasites.
  • * The findings suggest that kitchen staff could be important reservoirs of these microorganisms, highlighting the need for awareness and preventive measures to reduce infection risks.
