Conserved Hepatospora eriocheir Sequences in Chinese Mitten Crabs from Poland, Germany and Belgium: A Comparative Molecular Study

Hepatospora eriocheir is an obligate intracellular microsporidian associated with the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, an important aquaculture species in Asia and an invasive species in Europe. We investigated parasite sequence variation in crabs from three European regi...

Porcine Oral Fluid as a Diagnostic Matrix for Tulathromycin and Enrofloxacin Residue Surveillance

Abstract Antibiotic analysis is an important aspect of pig farming due to residues in tissues and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In vivo control of antimicrobials is particularly significant, especially for the most critical and widely administered drugs. Thus, the aim o...

Tick-Borne Pathogens in Wild Cervids from Poland: A Molecular Survey on Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Piroplasms

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are important infections affecting animal health, and some are zoonotic. Understanding the distribution of TBDs in wildlife is important to evaluate the role of wild animals in the maintenance and spread of tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in natural ecosyst...
