Anthelminthic activity of tetramisole in Zoo animals Institute of Tropical Medicine
Antibiotic use and resistance in animals Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
The widespread use of antibiotics in animals is causing concerns about the growing risk for development and the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic consumption is higher in animals than in humans as reported in a joint publication of EFSA (European Food Safety Agency), ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control), and EMA (European Medicines Agency) using data from 2011 and 2012. Both in humans and animals, ...
Spatial analysis of **Leishmania donovani** exposure in humans and domestic animals in a recent kala azar focus in Nepal University of Antwerp
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a major public health problem in the Indian subcontinent where the Leishmania donovani transmission cycle is described as anthroponotic. However, the role of animals (in particular domestic animals) in the persistence and expansion of VL is still a matter of debate. We combined Direct Agglutination Test (DAT) results in humans and domestic animals with Geographic Information System technology (i.e. extraction maps ...
Current insights regarding the role of farm animals in the spread of antimicrobial resistance from a one health perspective Ghent University
Simple Summary Antimicrobial resistance is of critical concern for both human and veterinary medicine worldwide. Many bacterial infections are currently very difficult to treat due to the presence of several mechanisms involved in bacterial resistance to marketed antimicrobials. Preserving the effectiveness of currently available antimicrobials and reducing the burden of infections caused by resistant bacteria is a priority for competent ...
Antimicrobial usage and resistance in companion animals : a cross-sectional study in three European countries Ghent University
Companion animals have been described as potential reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), however data remain scarce. Therefore, the objectives were to describe antimicrobial usage (AMU) in dogs and cats in three European countries (Belgium, Italy, and The Netherlands) and to investigate phenotypic AMR. A questionnaire and one fecal sample per animal (n = 303) were collected over one year and AMU was quantified using treatment incidence ...
