AB  - Ticks transmit important pathogens affecting cattle such as intracellular bacteria of the genus Anaplasma or protozoa of the order Piroplasmida. This study aimed at assessing tick species present on pastures and cattle and determining occurrence of the tick-borne pathogens Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia spp. in cattle. During May and June 2013, ticks and EDTA blood were collected from 185 dairy cows at six locations in Serbia. Ticks were also collected directly from the pastures at four of these locations. The occurrence of A. phagocytophilum was investigated by serological (immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT)) and molecular methods (real-time PCR) and of piroplasms by traditional PCR followed by sequencing. The most prevalent tick species on animals was Ixodes ricinus, (n = 167), followed by Haemaphysalis punctata (n = 146) and Dermacentor marginatus (n = 122). On the pasture, however, the most common species was H. punctata (n = 41), I. ricinus (n = 37), and D. marginatus (n = 2). Altogether, 4 out of 163 (2.45%) serum samples of cows were positive for A. phagocytophilum-specific antibodies by IFAT. However, the 135 blood samples tested for A. phagocytophilum DNA were all negative. Altogether, 5 out of these 135 samples were positive for piroplasm DNA. PCR products were sequenced and identified as a benign Theileria spp. with 100% identity with GenBank entries from Italy (Theileria sergenti), China (Theileria spp.), and Korea (Theileria buffeli isolate HS252). The results provide evidence for the presence of several hard tick species infesting cattle in Serbia which can carry pathogens potentially influencing animal health, as well as evidence of contact with tick-borne pathogens Theileria spp. and A. phagocytophilum.

AB  - Multiplication and spreading of multiresistant pathogenic bacteria that cause fatal infections in humans and animals have boosted research on implementation of newer technologies for producing natural substances with strong antibacterial activities. In this study, SFE from lichen Usnea barbata was investigated for different pre-treatment methods with respect to extracts yield, usnic acid recovery and antibacterial activity against more than thirty methicillin resistant staphylococci strains. Extraction of U. barbata with subcritical carbon dioxide was studied as well. Extraction yield, usnic acid content and antibacterial activity of the extracts were strongly affected by the pre-treatment method. Intensive pre-treatment methods such as flaking and cutting + grinding caused a considerable comminution of the lichen thallus and enabled high extraction yields. On the other hand, mild pre-treatment of the lichen such as impact + shearing enabled isolation of extracts with lower MIC values. Experimental results indicated that extraction with liquid carbon dioxide at 30 MPa and 25 degrees C was the most favorable condition at which a satisfactory high extraction yield was obtained (2.08%). Extract isolated with liquid carbon dioxide had a high usnic acid content in the extract (632 g/kg) and a very strong antibacterial activity (average MIC of 19.11 mu g/mL). Antibacterial activity of all the extracts against tested strains was comparable to the pure usnic acid or even stronger. This study indicated a potential use of the supercritical extracts of U. barbata in pharmaceutical formulations for treatment of infections caused by staphylococci.
