Exploring Gut Microbiota Composition and Occurrence of Selected Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Domestic Pigs and Urban and Sylvatic Wild Boars from Sicily

Martina Maria Imburgia, Fanny Claire Capri, Rosa Alduina, Roberto Puleio et autres

This exploratory study compared gut microbiota composition and targeted detection of eight antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) among three geographically and ecologically distinct Sicilian populations: domestic pigs (DP), urban wild boars (WB-U), and sylvatic wild boars (WB-S). Ileal samples were collected from 36 …

Susceptibility or resistance to Bartonella spp. infection in cats: Does the phenotype-B blood matter?

Eva Spada, Daniela Proverbio, Roberta Perego, Luciana Baggiani et autres

Blood types can influence host susceptibility to infectious diseases by modifying erythrocyte surface antigens that act as pathogen receptors. In cats, AB blood group system polymorphisms determine the expression of distinct sialic acids, with the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) primarily expressed in type …

Tick Diversity and Abundance in Protected Natural Areas in Sicily, Southern Italy: A Baseline Ecological Study

Ettore Napoli, Federico Cangialosi, Sergio Migliore, Paola Galluzzo et autres

Ticks are vectors of pathogens affecting wildlife, livestock, and humans. Knowledge of their abundance, species composition, and ecological drivers is essential for an understanding of tick-borne disease ecology. In this study, four natural sites in Sicily (southern Italy) were selected, and 39 …

The AB Blood Group System Phenotype Does Not Play a Role in Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Cats

Eva Spada, Greta Tattarletti, Daniela Proverbio, Roberta Perego et autres

Previous studies have evaluated the association between different blood groups and human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. No similar studies exist in cats. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of some risk or protective factors, including the AB blood …

Acarological risk of exposure to tick-borne pathogens in urban green areas of Rome, Italy

Federico Romiti, Giulia Barlozzari, Antonella Cersini, Claudio De Liberato et autres

Acarological risk ( R ) was assessed in urban green areas of Rome. R was calculated as the probability of encountering at least one questing tick infected by spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and/or Coxiella burnetii , in …
