AB  - Toxoplasma gondii is a common zoonotic intracellular parasite in livestock raised for
human consumption and is a public health concern. The mode of transmission is ingestion,
and meat is considered to be a major vehicle for human and animal infection. As
T. gondii is environmentally transmissible, other important vehicles in particular for
animals include vegetation, soil and water. The seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in
pigs is Serbia has been determined in several studies over the past two decades. It has
been established that it varies considerably, primarily based on husbandry, with strictly
to mostly indoor animals having a lower prevalence (below 20%) than animals raised
outdoors, where prevalence exceeds 60%. Experimental data suggests that different
genotypes of the parasite vary in virulence, but the significance of virulence in terms of
pathology and disease manifestations is still being investigated. Genotypes of T. gondii
isolated from pig tissues in Serbia to date are ToxoDB#1 (archetype II) and ToxoDB#2
(archetype III). Archetype II is predominant and, based on historical reports and recent
findings, low to intermediately virulent. The virulence phenotype and mechanisms of
archetype III, however, have not been extensively studied, but recent data suggests that
its virulence may vary considerably. This review will also summarize the current knowledge
regarding the virulence of archetypes II and III and evaluate it in the context of
the pig host.

AB  - Parasites are highly significant pathogens that are transmitted through food. Their specific
life cycles, transmission routes, and usually a lengthy period between infection and the first
symptoms of the disease make them a substantial risk to public health. Additionally, there
are challenges in detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Toxoplasmosis is considered the most
widespread parasitic infection on a global scale. It is caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma
gondii, one of the most successful parasites of animals and humans due to its ability to parasitize
within the nuclei of a wide range of hosts. Because of its importance in both veterinary
and human medicine, T. gondii is one of the most extensively studied parasites. Existing data
show seroprevalences differ across continents, countries, and even within states and among
specific communities. Consuming undercooked meat presents one of the greatest risk factors
for human infection with the T. gondii parasite, with pork being recognized as a dominant
source of infection.

AB  - As pork is an important source for Toxoplasma gondii infection, we have analyzed T. gondii
genotypes and toxoplasmosis prevalence in pigs in Serbia in the context of production statistics and
economics to assess the specific risk to public health. Genotyping was performed using MnPCRRFLP; T. gondii-specific IgG antibodies were detected using a modified agglutination test (MAT);
and statistical data were extracted from official records and provided by government authorities.
The results indicate that, from 2006 to 2021, the median number of annually slaughtered pigs
was 5.6 million, yet only 36.1% were processed by abattoirs. The remainder were “backyard pigs”
slaughtered on family farms and homesteads. Toxoplasmosis seroprevalence in market-weight (MW)
pigs prior to 2006 was 15.2%, and was 15.1% in 2019. The seroprevalence in owned city cats, likely
infected by livestock meat, was 33.2%. ToxoDB#1 was identified in pig tissues. The results indicate
that backyard pigs are the backbone of the industry and provide as much as 60% of the pork in
Serbia. The seroprevalence in pigs and city cats shows that farms are reservoirs for the parasite. Thus,
innovative means of reducing T. gondii infection designed with backyard farmers in mind are needed
to reduce the risk to public health.

Our study aimed to analyze the long-chain n-3 PUFA content of two types of food and their effect on plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids of Belgian Shepherd dogs. A total of 10 dogs were fed commercial granulated food (Food 1), and another 10 were provided commercial Premium granulated food of high quality (Food 2). All the analyses were performed using gas-liquid chromatography. Our results showed that Food 1 contained more n-3 PUFA than Food 2, which was reflected in higher n-3 PUFA in plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids. Because long-chain n-3 PUFA in phospholipids are precursors for antioxidative molecules, further studies should investigate the effects of the analyzed commercial granulated food rich in n-3 on oxidative stress parameters in dogs.

AB  - Redox imbalance in peripartum period influences health of dairy cows and their foetus and,
through the colostrum, health of new-born calves. Oxidative stress in cattle can be suppressed
by dietary supplementation with natural minerals, and we investigated the effect of supplementation with organically modified clinoptilolite on redox status parameters in healthy pregnant
primiparous dairy cows. Holstein cows were randomly assigned to receive daily oral drenching,
with 1 L of water containing either 0 g/L (n ¼ 14; control group) or 150 g/L of clinoptilolite (n ¼ 17; supplemented group). Treatment lasted from 24 ± 4 days prior to parturition until 2 days postpartum (pp). Blood samples were collected on days 24 ± 4 (–24 D) and 4 ± 2 (–4 D) prior to
parturition and on days 1 (þ1 D), 2 (þ2 D), and 7 (þ7 D) pp, and colostrum were collected at 2,
12, 24 and 36 h pp. Total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxides, and advanced oxidation protein
products (AOPP) levels were determined in peripheral blood plasma, erythrocytes, and colostrum
whey. The concentration of antioxidants in the peripheral blood of supplemented cows was
increased by 41% and 19% on (þ2 D) and (þ7 D), respectively, while the concentration of lipid
peroxides on (þ7 D) was lowered by 57% compared with the control group. In addition, this
supplementation increased erythrocyte AOPP level on (–4 D) 61%) and colostral lipid peroxides
level (90%) at 24 h pp. The results of this study showed that applied short-term supplementation
with clinoptilolite influences redox homeostasis and may contribute to effective adaptation of
primiparous cows to redox imbalance in the peripartum period.

AB  - Background
The epidemiological status concerning many canine tick-borne diseases (TBDs) in Serbia is still insufficiently known.

Objectives
Our study aimed to investigate the presence of tick-borne pathogens of the family Anaplasmataceae and Hepatozoon spp., as a cause of illnesses accompanied by clinical signs that can occur in dogs with anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis.

Methods
Dogs are included in the study based on the presence of a minimum of three clinical and/or pathological findings that could be associated with anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis. During the study (April–October 2018), 11 dogs met the conditions to be included in the survey. Identification of the causative agent in the blood of diseased dogs was performed by conventional PCR followed by sequencing.

Results
The presence of the pathogens was confirmed in three animals (3/11, 27.3%). The presence of Ehrlichia canis was confirmed in 3-month-old female Rottweiler puppy, an 8-year old Miniature Schnauzer female was positive for Hepatozoon canis infection, while 4-year-old mixed breed male dog was co-infected with both mentioned pathogens. These are the first cases of autochthonous infection with E. canis and H. canis in dogs from Serbia confirmed by molecular methods.

Conclusions
The results of our study indicate the importance of molecular methods to establish a reliable diagnosis of TBDs. Also, the confirmed presence of causative agents of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis in Serbia appeals to veterinary practitioners that it is necessary to exclude the presence of those diseases in suspicious dogs.

abstract = "Background
The epidemiological status concerning many canine tick-borne diseases (TBDs) in Serbia is still insufficiently known.

Objectives
Our study aimed to investigate the presence of tick-borne pathogens of the family Anaplasmataceae and Hepatozoon spp., as a cause of illnesses accompanied by clinical signs that can occur in dogs with anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis.

Methods
Dogs are included in the study based on the presence of a minimum of three clinical and/or pathological findings that could be associated with anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis. During the study (April–October 2018), 11 dogs met the conditions to be included in the survey. Identification of the causative agent in the blood of diseased dogs was performed by conventional PCR followed by sequencing.

Results
The presence of the pathogens was confirmed in three animals (3/11, 27.3%). The presence of Ehrlichia canis was confirmed in 3-month-old female Rottweiler puppy, an 8-year old Miniature Schnauzer female was positive for Hepatozoon canis infection, while 4-year-old mixed breed male dog was co-infected with both mentioned pathogens. These are the first cases of autochthonous infection with E. canis and H. canis in dogs from Serbia confirmed by molecular methods.

Conclusions
The results of our study indicate the importance of molecular methods to establish a reliable diagnosis of TBDs. Also, the confirmed presence of causative agents of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis in Serbia appeals to veterinary practitioners that it is necessary to exclude the presence of those diseases in suspicious dogs.",

on vector control. For some of these zoonoses, vaccines have already been
developed for use in human (Japanese encephalitis) and veterinary (West

expected to spread slowly but steadily, and diagnostic tests and methods
of surveillance and monitoring the presence of animal species which are
indicators of the presence of disease are of great importance. This presentation deals with vector zoonoses transmitted by insects and

AB  - The synthesis, degradation, and reconstruction of the cell membrane as a metabolic pathway
of phospholipids is a constant and dynamic process. Fatty acids as bioactive lipid components of
plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids as structural lipids have biological roles in the integrity of
cell membranes. Fatty acids, depending on the chain length, the degree of saturation, and the
synthesis pathways, can alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress caused by excessive exercise.
Considering that changing food intake or diet can influence fatty acid phospholipid metabolism,
our study aimed to determine the potential benefits of fish-based diets in working (police) dogs
undergoing intensive training concerning bioactive lipids such as fatty acids, phospholipids of
plasma, and erythrocytes. Fatty acid esters’ composition of plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids
as a bioactive lipids, in addition to markers of oxidative stress and metabolic parameters, were
analysed by GC chromatography. The food was well tolerated by all dogs, and the compliance to the
diet was high throughout the study. After the treatment with fish-based food, blood glucose, total,
and LDL cholesterol levels were significantly reduced, indicating positive biochemical profiles of
dogs. Correlations of fatty acid phospholipid compositions between plasma and erythrocytes have
shown that both plasma and erythrocytes could represent markers of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic and
docosahexaenoic acid intake levels in dogs. Morover, fish-based food supplementation caused a
significant reduction in lipid peroxidation markers. The enrichment of dogs’ diets with marine fish
could improve oxidative status and improve roles and status of bioactive lipids, such as membrane
phospholipids and fatty acids, as its components in plasma and erythrocytes in police dogs exposed to intensive exercise.

AB  - Consumption of Toxoplasma gondii contaminated pork is a major risk factor for human infection. We thus conducted a cross-sectional survey on the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in a representative sample of slaughter pigs from throughout Serbia and examined the influence of farm biosecurity-related risk factors on infection. In addition, direct detection of the parasite (by mouse bioassay) or its DNA was performed in the hearts of a subset of seropositive sows. The overall seroprevalence in the sample of 825 pigs as determined by the modified agglutination test (MAT) was 16.5%. Older age and inadequate rodent control were independent infection risk factors for pigs. In a subset of 581 pigs with complete biosecurity-related data, in addition to older age, smallholders’ finishing type farms (as opposed to farrow-to-finish), multispecies farming, and origin from Western and Central and South-Eastern Serbia (vs. the Northern region), all increased the risk of infection, while the absence of disinfection boot-dips in front of each barn and Belgrade district origin (vs. the Northern region) were associated with a 62% and 75% lower risk of infection, respectively. Evidence of viable parasites was obtained in 13 (41.9%) of the 31 bioassayed sow hearts, of which by isolation of brain cysts in seven, by detection of T. gondii DNA in an additional four, and by serology in another two. Recovery of brain cysts mostly (5/7) from sows with a MAT titre of ≥1:100 indicates the risk for consumers. These results highlight the public health risk from pork consumption and point to mandatory use of professional rodent control services, abstaining from multispecies farming, keeping disinfection boot-dips clean and freshly refilled, as well as strict implementation of zoo-hygienic measures on smallholders’ farms as specific farm biosecurity measures needed for its reduction.

AB  - West Nile virus (WNV) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne virus classified as family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus. The first WNV outbreak in humans in the Republic of Serbia was recorded in 2012. Equids and dogs can show clinical symptoms after WNV infection and are often used as sentinels. This study aimed to (i) give insight into seropositivity for WNV in clinically healthy dog and horse sera in different regions of Serbia and (ii) compare diagnostic value of ‘in-house’ and commercially available indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) tests to ‘gold standard’ virus neutralization test (VNT). Due to cross-reactivity, sera were tested for Usutu virus and tick-borne encephalitis virus in VNT based on the epidemiological data of field presence. Blood sera of dogs (n = 184) and horses (n = 232) were collected from 2011 to 2013. The seropositivity was confirmed by VNT in 36.9 % tested dog sera and 34.9% tested horse sera with highest positivity in regions near two big rivers, while in four dog and seven horse sera, positivity resulted from Usutu virus infection. Comparative results of diagnostic tests in dogs ranged from 18.7 % seropositivity by ‘in-house’ ELISA to 31.9% by commercially available ELISA. In horses, seropositivity ranged from 36.2% by ‘in-house’ IFA to 32.5% by commercially available IFA and from 26.3% by ‘in-house’ IgG ELISA to 20.9% by commercially available ELISA. There were no statistically significant differences according to the McNemar test between ‘in-house’ and commercially available IFA and ELISA test in horse sera, while the same was not true for two ELISAs used in dog sera (χ2 = 8.647, p =.003). Established seropositivity in dogs and horses was in accordance with the epidemiological situation and WNV spread in the Republic of Serbia and proven Usutu virus co-circulation. ‘In-house’ tests remain a valuable tool in early diagnostics of WNV.

abstract = "West Nile virus (WNV) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne virus classified as family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus. The first WNV outbreak in humans in the Republic of Serbia was recorded in 2012. Equids and dogs can show clinical symptoms after WNV infection and are often used as sentinels. This study aimed to (i) give insight into seropositivity for WNV in clinically healthy dog and horse sera in different regions of Serbia and (ii) compare diagnostic value of ‘in-house’ and commercially available indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) tests to ‘gold standard’ virus neutralization test (VNT). Due to cross-reactivity, sera were tested for Usutu virus and tick-borne encephalitis virus in VNT based on the epidemiological data of field presence. Blood sera of dogs (n = 184) and horses (n = 232) were collected from 2011 to 2013. The seropositivity was confirmed by VNT in 36.9 % tested dog sera and 34.9% tested horse sera with highest positivity in regions near two big rivers, while in four dog and seven horse sera, positivity resulted from Usutu virus infection. Comparative results of diagnostic tests in dogs ranged from 18.7 % seropositivity by ‘in-house’ ELISA to 31.9% by commercially available ELISA. In horses, seropositivity ranged from 36.2% by ‘in-house’ IFA to 32.5% by commercially available IFA and from 26.3% by ‘in-house’ IgG ELISA to 20.9% by commercially available ELISA. There were no statistically significant differences according to the McNemar test between ‘in-house’ and commercially available IFA and ELISA test in horse sera, while the same was not true for two ELISAs used in dog sera (χ2 = 8.647, p =.003). Established seropositivity in dogs and horses was in accordance with the epidemiological situation and WNV spread in the Republic of Serbia and proven Usutu virus co-circulation. ‘In-house’ tests remain a valuable tool in early diagnostics of WNV.",

AB  - Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is one of the major tick-borne diseases in
southern Europe. The main causative agent is gram-negative bacteria Ehrlichia canis,
which in the cytoplasm of infected leukocytes forming structures called morulae. In
Europe, brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus, is considered as the main vector.
Different phases and multiple clinical manifestations of CME, as well as potential coinfections with other tick-borne pathogens (Babesia spp., Hepatozoon canis,
Anaplasma phagocytophilum, A. platys) complicate reliable diagnosis. Even
haematological, serological and cytological diagnostic techniques are of great
importance for CME, molecular methods (PCR, qPCR) are often necessary for a
definitive diagnosis.
Proprietary, three months old female Rottweiler puppy from the vicinity of Belgrade
city without a history of travel to the endemic area was brought to the clinic of the
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade due to the presence of lethargy, anorexia
and generalized lymphadenopathy. Nine days before presentation tick was removed
from the dog. Haematological analyses showed the presence of normocytic
normochromic anemia, lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia. On blood and buffy
coat smears granular lymphocytes were noted. Antibody SNAP test (Bionote, Korea)
indicated exposure to E. canis. To confirm the diagnosis, total DNA was extracted
from EDTA blood and conventional PCR followed by sequencing was performed. By
comparing the obtained sequence with the sequences deposited in GenBank®, the
presence of E. canis was confirmed.
Although serological methods may indicate exposure to E. canis (indirect fluorescent
antibody- IFA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays- ELISA), PCR with high
specificity and sensitivity is essential to detect DNK of E. canis indicating active
infection. Also, DNA detection is possible before seroconversion. The ambiguity of
serological assays may be also the appearance of cross-reactivity among E. canis and
other species of the Anaplasmacataceae family (E. chaffeensis, E. ewingii, A.
phagocytophilum). The described case was the first molecular confirmation of CME
and E. canis in Serbia, pointing to the importance of molecular methods in reliable
diagnosis.

AB  - Infection with the apicomplexan protozoon Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most prevalent parasitic zoonotic infections globally, with existing seroprevalences varying between continents, countries, and even within countries and between individual communities. It is estimated that one third of the world's human population is infected with T. gondii, with many studies showing that the dominant mode of infection is consumption of undercooked meat harbouring T. gondii tissue cysts. Prevalences of infection in food animals in different countries range from 0 to 93%. Because of the absence of clinical symptoms in infected animals, and the unfeasibility of rapid and unequivocal detection of microscopic tissue cysts in pork, infected pigs remain unrecognized, and their meat becomes an essential source of infection for humans. The data on T. gondii infection in pigs in Serbia from several studies, as well as on the detection of the parasite in different food categories, from fresh pork to heat-treated products, are discussed.

AB  - We used detrended methods for scaling analysis (DFA2 and DMA) and wavelet transform spectral analysis (WTS) to characterize long-term persistence (LTP) properties of temperature anomalies time series from observational stations from climatically and topologically homogeneous HadCRUT4 grid cells. We were interested to investigate the validity of the expectation that their LTP scaling properties remain preserved in the process of HadCRUT4 spatially interpolated and bias adjusted averaging, which was indeed the case in our selection. We additionally utilized the Hurst space analysis (HSA), a methodological solution that we recently developed, to classify climatic records from our dataset according to their LTP character and similarity of their WTS cyclical presentation. We were able to use HSA to observe four distinct patterns of climate dynamic behaviour according to the ‘preferred’ characteristic that those do not ‘belong to the ocean’. In this way, our results suggested that there probably exists a necessity to examine cycles in climate records as important elements of natural variability. To illustrate how the procedure developed in this article can be extended, we used HSA developed by the use of a dataset from climatically and topologically homogeneous regions to classified time series of teleconnection indices that may have influence on their regional climate. HSA can be further systematically utilized in this way, to link LTP properties of temperature anomalies with their possible spatially remote sources.

AB  - Calf bronchopneumonia is accompanied by increased level of circulating immune complexes (CIC), and we analysed size, and protein and lipid constituents of these CIC with an attempt to elucidate the connection between the CIC structural properties and their capacity to modulate leukocyte function. CIC of heathy calves (CICH) and calves with naturally occurring bronchopneumonia (CICD) were isolated by PEG precipitation and analysed by electrophoresis and chromatography. The predominant CIC proteins were IgG, albumin, and transferrin. Affinity isolated serum and CIC IgG coprecipitated several proteins, but only 75 and 80 kDa proteins bound CIC IgG, exclusively. 60 and 65 kDa proteins co-precipitated with CICD IgG, unlike CICH IgG. In both CICH and CICD, oleic acid-containing phospholipids predominated. In CICD, the content of oleic and vaccenic acid was higher than in CICH, while myristic, palmitic, stearic, linoleic and arachidonic acid showed lower content. Dynamic light scattering displayed difference in particle size distribution between CICH and CICD; 1280 nm large particles were present only in CICD. The effect of CICH and CICD on mononuclear cells (MNC) and granulocytes was analysed in vitro. CICH and CICD, with slight difference in intensity, stimulate MNC apoptosis, promote cell cycle arrest of unstimulated MNC, and cell cycle progression of PHA stimulated MNC. Both CIC reduced granulocyte apoptosis after 24 h while after 48 h this effect was detected for CICD only. These results indicate that structural differences of CICH and CICD might interfere with the CIC functional capacity, which we consider important for evaluation of CIC immunoregulatory function.

abstract = "Calf bronchopneumonia is accompanied by increased level of circulating immune complexes (CIC), and we analysed size, and protein and lipid constituents of these CIC with an attempt to elucidate the connection between the CIC structural properties and their capacity to modulate leukocyte function. CIC of heathy calves (CICH) and calves with naturally occurring bronchopneumonia (CICD) were isolated by PEG precipitation and analysed by electrophoresis and chromatography. The predominant CIC proteins were IgG, albumin, and transferrin. Affinity isolated serum and CIC IgG coprecipitated several proteins, but only 75 and 80 kDa proteins bound CIC IgG, exclusively. 60 and 65 kDa proteins co-precipitated with CICD IgG, unlike CICH IgG. In both CICH and CICD, oleic acid-containing phospholipids predominated. In CICD, the content of oleic and vaccenic acid was higher than in CICH, while myristic, palmitic, stearic, linoleic and arachidonic acid showed lower content. Dynamic light scattering displayed difference in particle size distribution between CICH and CICD; 1280 nm large particles were present only in CICD. The effect of CICH and CICD on mononuclear cells (MNC) and granulocytes was analysed in vitro.
