AB  - Listerioza je infektivno oboljenje ljudi, domaćih, divljih životinja,
riba, rakova i ptica koju izaziva gram - pozitivna bakterija, Listeria monocytogenes.
Preživari igraju glavnu ulogu u održavanju listerija, uz
pomoć kontinuiranog feko-oralnog ciklusa. Listerioza ovaca i goveda
se pojavljuje sporadično, učestalija je zimi i u rano proleće. Listerioza
preživara se javlja u obliku septikemije, encefalitisa, meningitisa, meningoencefalitisa,
keratokonjunktivitisa, gastroenteritisa, a dolazi i do
pojave abortusa, radjanja mrtvih plodova i perinatalne infekcije. Ovce
u latentnoj fazi bolesti predstavljaju kliconoše, jer izlučuju L. monocytogenes
preko mleka i fecesa. Mamarna infekcija može imati supklinički
tok, u toku kojeg klinički zdrave životinje izlučuju listerije tokom
dugog vremenskog perioda. Listerioza ljudi je relativno retka bolest sa
do 10 slučajeva na milion stanovnika godišnje u zavisnosti od zemalja
i regiona sveta. Iako je broj slučajeva mali, stopa smrtnost je jako
visoka (30%).

AB  - Pigs are very important for the epidemiology of influenza A viruses, being commonly infected with the lineages of most adapted H1N1, H3N2, H1N2 swine subtypes. Epidemiological complexity of swine influenza is increasing by a periodic spillover of human or avian viruses in the pig population when genetic shifts can occur. The objectives of this research were to determine the presence of the influenza A virus in nasal and tracheobronchial swabs and lung tissue samples of ill and dead pigs on commercial farms, to determine circulating subtypes and characterize them through the phylogenetic analysis of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes. A total of 255 samples collected from 13 farms were analyzed by means of real-time RT-PCR. The genome of influenza A virus was detected in 24 samples, which represented a 61.5% prevalence at the farms level (influenza A virus was confirmed in 8 out of 13 farms included in this study). Based on HA and NA gene sequences of 8 viruses, the circulation of H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes of influenza A viruses were determined. In addition, one farm exhibited a time separated circulation of H1N1 and H3N2 virus subtypes. Using Influenza Research Database, our viruses of the H1 subtype were classified into 1C.2.1 and 1A.3.3.2. clade. Based on the nucleotide sequences of HA genes, three viruses of the H1N1 subtype belong to the H1N1pdm09 lineage, and the other four to Eurasian “avian-like” H1avN1 lineage; while based on NA genes sequences, these seven viruses belong to Eurasian “avian-like” H1avN1 lineage. Both HA and NA genes of the virus of the H3N2 subtype belonged to the A/swine/ Gent/1/1984-like H3N2 lineage.
AB  - Svinje su veoma važne u epidemiologiji infl uenca A virusa, jer je većina zapata širom sveta zaražena nekim od tri podtipa (H1N1, H1N2 ili H3N2). Pored toga, one su prijemčive i za ljudske i ptičije infl eunca A viruse, usled čega u njihovom organizmu može doći do genetskog reasortiranja i stvaranja genotipski i fenotipski novih virusa. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio da se analizom nosnih i traeo-bronhijalnih briseva i pluća poreklom od bolesnih i ugilnulih svinja ispita prisustvo infl uenca A virusa, da se odrede cirkulišući podtipovi i fi logenetski okarakterišu kroz analizu sekvenci HA i NA gena. Tokom ovog istraživanja sa 13 farmi je sakupljeno i metodom realtime RT-PCR pregledano je 255 uzoraka. Genom infl uenca A virusa je utvrđen u 24 uzorka. Prevalencija virusa na nivou farmi iznosila je 61.5%. Kompletno je sekvenciran genom 8 virusa koji su poticali sa sedam farmi. Na osnovu sekvenci HA i NA gena potvrđena je cirkulacija H1N1 i H3N2 podtipova. Na jednoj farmi ustanovlejna je cirkulacija oba podtipa, ali u različitim periodima ispitivanja. Na osnovu sekvence HA gena, sedam virusa H1 podtipa su grupisani u 1C.2.1 i 1A.3.3.2 genske grupe i H1N1pdm09 i evroazijsku “avian-like” H1avN1 linije. Na osnovu sekvence neuraminidaza gena ovih sedam H1N1 virusa su grupisani u evroazijsku “avian-like” H1avN1 liniju. Virus H3N2 podtipa na osnovu sekvenci HA i NA gena pripada liniji A/Swine/ Gent/1/1984 - “like” liniji.

AB  - The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of coinfection with pathogens Bartonella henselae, feline immunodeficiency virus, and feline leukemia virus in stray cats from the area of Novi Sad and Belgrade, Serbia. Each of 60 individual cats was clinically examined and the blood sampled. Therewithal an epidemiological survey was made. Blood sera were separated by centrifugation and serologically tested in order to determine the presence of Bartonella henselae specific antibodies (by direct immunofluorescence assay), feline immunodeficiency virus specific antibodies (by rapid test SNAP Combo) and feline leukemia virus antigens (by rapid test SNAP Combo). Of the 60 cat sera, serologically examined using IFA test, 33 (55%) were positive for the presence of IgG specific to B. henselae antigens. A total of 13 (27%) of the 60 tested cat sera were positive for the presence of specific antibodies to FIV antigens. None of the 60 tested cat sera were positive for the presence of FeLV antigen. Of the 33 cat sera which contained IgG antibodies to B. henselae, 6 cat sera also gave a positive reaction to the presence of specific IgG antibodies to FIV; this was a coinfection seroprevalence of 10% in the total population of studied cats. The results obtained in this study indicate the presence of B. henselae and FIV coinfection in cats from Serbia, without FeLV positive cats. An increase in the manifestations of clinical symptoms in cats in which the serological tests determined coinfection with B. henselae and FIV is evident compared to those seropositive only to B. henselae.
AB  - Cilj ovog istraživanja je da se utvrdi koinfekcija uzročnicima Bartonella henselae, virus imunodeficijencije mačaka i virus leukemije mačaka, kod uličnih mačaka s područja Novog Sada i Beograda, Srbija. Od svake od ukupno 60 jedinki uključenih u istraživanje uzeti su uzorci pune venske krvi. Paralelno s uzimanjem uzoraka obavljen je klinički pregled mačaka i sačinjena je epidemiološka anketa. Krvni serumi izdvojeni su centrifugiranjem i serološki su testirani u cilju utvrđivanja prisustva specifičnih antitela na uzročnike Bartonella henselae (testom indirektne imunofl uorescencije-IFA) i virus mačije imunodeficijencije (FIV) (brzim testom SNAP Combo), kao i antigena virusa leukemije mačaka (FeLV) (brzim testom SNAP Combo). Od 60 krvnih seruma mačaka, serološki pregledanih korišćenjem IFA testa, 33 (55%) je bilo pozitivno na prisustvo specifičnih IgG antitela na antigene uzročnika Bartonella henselae. Od 60 ispitivanih uzoraka seruma mačaka, 13 je dalo pozitivnu reakciju na prisustvo specifičnih antitela na antigene FIV. Niti u jednom od 60 ispitivanih uzoraka seruma nije utvrđeno prisustvo antigena FeLV. Od 33 krvna seruma mačaka, u kojima je ustanovljeno prisustvo specifičnih IgG antitela na B. henselae, 6 krvnih seruma dalo je pozitivnu reakciju i na prisustvo specifičnih IgG antitela na uzročnika virusne imunodeficijencije mačaka, što predstavlja seroprevalenciju koinfekcije od 10% u ukupnoj populaciji ispitivanih mačaka. Rezultati dobijeni u ovom istraživanju ukazuju na prisustvo koinfekcije uzročnicima Bartonella henselae i FIV kod mačaka u Srbiji, bez FeLV pozitivnih jedinki. Evidentan je porast manifestacije kliničkih simptoma kod mačaka kod kojih je primenom seroloških testova utvrđena koinfekcija izazvana uzročnicima B. henselae i FIV, u poređenju sa mačkama kod kojih je ustanovljena infekcija izazvana samo uzročnikom B. henselae.

AB  - Lyme disease is a multisystemic disease, zoonotic in nature, caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. In the continent of Europe, these spirochetes are predominantly transmitted by ticks of the genus Ixodes. Small mammals and birds have particular significance as reservoirs of the cause of lyme disease. The objective of these epidemiological investigations was to determine the value of IgG seroprevalence to Borrelia burgdorferi and to secure the geographic distribution of seropositive dogs in Vojvodina. The investigations covered 135 dogs that were not vaccinated against lyme disease. The indirect ELISA test was used to determine IgG prevalence to Borrelia burgdorferi antigens. Reactive blood serums of dogs were tested again using the rapid immunochromatographic and immunoblot test. A seroprevalence of G class antibodies to antigens of lyme disease causes of 8.1% (11/135) was established in the examined dog population of Vojvodina. The biggest number of positive results was recorded for the South Bačka District. The presented value for the seroprevalence of anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies in the dog population indicates the exhistence of a significant risk of humans becoming infected with the cause of lyme disease in Vojvodina.

Cilj ovog epidemiološ kog istraživanja je da se utvrdi vrednost seroprevalencije IgG na Borrelia burgdorferi i sagleda geografska distribucija seropozitivnih pasa u Vojvodini. U ispitivanje je bilo uključeno 135 pasa koji nisu vakcinisani protiv lajmske bolesti. Za utvrđivanje prevalencije IgG na antigene Borrelia burgdorferi korišćen je indirektni ELISA test. Reaktivni krvni serumi pasa su ponovo testirani primenom brzog imunohromatografskog i imunoblot testa. Ustanovljena je seroprevalencija antitela klase G na antigene uzročnika lajmske bolesti od 8,1% (11/135) u populaciji pasa na području Vojvodine. Najveći broj pozitivnih rezultata je zabeležen u Južnobačkom okrugu. Navedena vrednost seroprevalencije anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antitela u populaciji pasa ukazuje na postojanje značajnog rizika za infekciju kod ljudi izazvanu uzročnikom lajmske bolesti u Vojvodini.

AB  - In Europe, of all the vector transmitted diseases, the occurrence of lyme disease is the one most often registered, and the most significant vector Borrelia burgdorferi is the tick Ixodes ricinus. Both humans and animals contract lyme disease. The risk of the occurrence of lyme disease is in correlation with potential exposure to tick bites and depends on the density of the tick population in the endemic area, the percentage of ticks infected with the cause of lyme disease, the duration and the nature of the activity of the susceptible population in a certain area. The objective of these investigations was to determine the entomological and the ecological risk index, as well as to assess the risk of transmission of the cause of lyme disease in the territory of Vojvodina Province in the Republic of Serbia. Ticks were collected at 12 locations in the South Bačka District of Vojvodina. A total of 1400 ticks were identified up to the level of species. After establishing the infection of ticks with the cause of lyme disease, the entomological and the ecological index was determined for the given regions using microscopic examination in a dark field. Two species of ticks aere identified in this geographic region (Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor marginatus). Examining I. ricinus, the prevalence of infection B. burgdorferi was established, ranging up to 33.1%. The ecological risk index indicates that there is a potential risk of humans and animals becoming infected at 8 localities. It was determined for 3 localities that there is a definite actual risk of the transferrence of causes of lyme disease.
AB  - U Evropi se, od svih vektorski prenosivih infekcija, najčešće registruje lajmska bolest, a najznačajniji vektor Borrelia burgdorferi je krpelj Ixodes ricinus. Od lajmske bolesti obolevaju ljudi i životinje. Rizik za pojavu lajmske bolesti je u korelaciji sa potencijalnim izlaganjem ubodu krpelja i zavisi od gustine populacije krpelja u endemskom području, procenta krpelja zaraženih uzročnikom lajmske bolesti, dužine i prirode aktivnosti prijemčive populacije na određenom području. Cilj ovog istraživanja je da se ustanove entomološki i ekološki indeks rizika, kao i da se proceni rizik transmisije uzročnika lajmske bolesti na području Vojvodine, Srbija. Prikupljanje krpelja je obavljeno na 12 lokacija Južnobačkog okruga, Srbija. Ukupno je do nivoa vrste identifikovano 1400 krpelja. Nakon utvrđivanja zaraženosti krpelja uzročnikom lajmske bolesti, primenom mikroskopskog pregleda u tamnom polju, izračunati su entomološki i ekološki indeks rizika za data područja. Identifikovane su dve vrste krpelja na našem geografskom području - Ixodes ricinus i Dermacentor marginatus. Kod I. ricinus utvrđena je prevalencija infekcije izazvane B. burgdorferi, koja se kretala do 33,1%. Ekološki indeks rizika ukazuje na to da potencijalni rizik od zaražavanja ljudi i životinja postoji na 8 lakaliteta. Za 3 lokaliteta je utvrđen definitivan aktuelni rizik za prenošenje uzročnika lajmske bolesti.

AB  - Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the main causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). To characterize and determine the genetic diversity of PCV2 in the porcine population of Serbia, nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of PCV2 collected from the tissues of pigs that either had died as a result of PMWS or did not exhibit disease symptoms were analyzed. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis showed considerable diversity among PCV2 ORF2 sequences and the existence of two main PCV2 genotypes, PCV2b and PCV2a, with at least three clusters, 1A/B, 1C and 2D. In order to provide further proof that the 1C strain is circulating in the porcine population, the whole viral genome of one PCV2 isolate was sequenced. Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis using the entire viral genome sequences confirmed that there was a PMWS-associated 1C strain emerging in Serbia. Our analysis also showed that PCV2b is dominant in the porcine population, and that it is exclusively associated with PMWS occurrences in the country. These data constitute a useful basis for further epidemiological studies regarding the heterogeneity of PCV2 strains on the European continent.

AB  - Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) is an infective disease of animals and humans caused with Bartonella henselae. Prevalence of infection varies between 0 and 68% depending on different population of cats and geographical region. Naturally infected cats are often clinically healthy and are inapparent germ carriers. In this investigation 40 cats from the area of Novi Sad were analyzed. After the epidemiological questionnaire was made, all cats were clinically investigated. To determine the presence of specific antibodies of class G on Bartonella henselae the method of indirect immunofluorescence was used. For the first time in Serbia, in the area of Novi Sad municipality the infection caused by Bartonella henselae in the population of cats was detected. Prevalence of specific antibodies of class IgG on Bartonella henselae antigen in the population of cats was 57%. The most common clinical manifestations in seropositive cats were gingivitis and lymphoadenopathy.

AB  - The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) originating from Serbian fish ponds was examined for presence of Myxobolus encephalicus. The spores of M. encephalicus were present in blood vessels and meningeal layers. Its presence has been noted in 32-days old carp fingerlings, where in brain blood vessels predominate plasmodium parasites shape. Although, plasmodium does not effect blood vessels obturation as it is in the spore's case, clinical signs which were similar to those in trout, occurred in the 15-30 days old carps. Fingerlings growth rate and conversion ranged normally. Blood test results in fingerlings with high number of spores in brain had similar values to those in unaffected fingerlings. The morbidity percentage was higher for carps up to the one-month old cultured in the ponds serving for older carp winter storage.
