This report describes a case of autochthonous canine angiostrongylosis in a mixed-breed dog in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The owner notеd the dog had lost appetite and weight, accompanied by a non-productive and intermittent cough. Physical examination revealed increased bronchovesicular pulmonary sounds and a caudally expanded lung field. Haematological parameters suggested mild dehydration in the dog. Radiological examination of the dog’s thorax showed a mild bronchointerstitial pattern with alveolar patches in the cardiac lobes. Coprological examination revealed the first stage (L1) Angiostrongylus vasorum larvae (Baillet, 1866). The dog was treated with two doses of 0.4 mg/kg of ivermectin administered subcutaneously with a time interval of 21 days between the two applications. Five weeks after the initial diagnosis, a repeated coprological examination revealed no evidence of L1 A. vasorum larvae in the dog’s faeces. This case report confirms the presence of A. vasorum in a dog from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ovaj prikaz slučaja opisuje prvi nalaz autohtone angiostrongiloze kod psa mešanca u Bosni i Hercegovini. Vlasnik je primetio da je pas izgubio apetit i da je smršao, što je bilo praćeno neproduktivnim i intermitentnim kašljem. Fizički pregled je ukazao na pooštreno vezikalno disanje sa kaudalno proširenim plućnim poljem. Nije bilo promena u hematološkim promjenama. Radiološki pregled toraksa psa je ukazao na blag mešani bronho-intersticijalni crtež sa alvolarnim mrljama u kardijačnim lobusima. Koprološkim pregledom su ustanovljene L1 larve Angiostrongylus vasorum. Pas je terapiran sa ivermektinom u dozi od 0.4 mg/kg datim subkutano sa intervalom od 21 dan između dvije aplikacije. Pet sedmica nakon inicijalne dijagnoze, koprološkim pregledom nisu ustanovljene L1 larve od Angiostrongylus vasorum u fekalnom uzorku psa. Ovaj prikaz slučaja potvrđuje prisustvo Angiostrongylus vasorum u Bosni i Hercegovini.

The paper retrospectively presents diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment of various small colon pathologies in 72 horses, which were admitted with abdominal pain (colic) to the Veterinary clinic "Novi Vek" of the Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology (named Skrabina). Examinations were performed from the year 2007 to 2019, when 1810 colic horses were received and examined, of which 72 horses, i.e. 3.97% of all cases, were diagnosed with a small colon pathology. The most frequent cause of a small colon pathology was constipation that was diagnosed in 49 cases. Out of 72 hospitalized and treated horses, 62 horses, i.e. 86.1%, were successfully cured.

This paper describes a case of generalized sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) in a stray dog found in the Kotor Varoš Municipality. Clinical and dermatological examinations revealed the suspicion of Sarcoptic mange in the dog, which was confirmed by the finding of eggs and adult forms of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis. As a secondary complication of mange, the presence of staphylococcal pyotraumatic folliculitis was determined. Hematological examination revealed anemia and leukocytosis. In basic therapy, 0.4 mg/kg of ivermectin was administered parenterally, with cephalexin administered orally at a dose of 40 mg/kg every 12 hours. The therapy lasted 30 days. Control examinations did not reveal parasitic elements in the scraped surface layer of the skin. In the discussion of this paper, the epizootiological characteristics of the disease and the list of dog`s skin diseases, that should be distinguished from sarcoptic mange in everyday practice, are presented.

Bluetongue and contagious ecthyma are sheep diseases that have very similar clinical presentation, thus, making it difficult to distinguish between the two based on clinical symptoms. In practice, a detailed clinical examination of sheep is underestimated and rarely is carried out. The paper presents and describes clinical cases of bluetongue and the malignant form of contagious ecthyma. The differences in the clinical presentation and diagnostic procedures for the two diseases are described in detail, as this information is necessary in order to establish correct disease control measures. Bolest plavog jezika i zarazni ektim su bolesti ovaca koje imaju sličnu kliničku sliku te ih je teško razlikovati na osnovu ispoljavanja kliničkih znakova. U praksi, detaljan klinički pregled ovaca je potcenjen i retko se sprovodi. U radu su prikazani klinički slučajevi bolesti plavog jezika i maligne forme zaraznog ektima. Detaljno su opisane razlike u kliničkoj slici kod ova dva oboljenja i postupak postavljanja kliničke dijagnoze koja je neophodna za primenu efikasnih mera suzbijanja bolesti.

The aim of this study was to investigate antibacterial effects of oregano and thyme essential oils on Listeria monocytogenes in fermented sausages and their effect on the sensory characteristics of these sausages. For testing purposes, sausages contaminated with L. monocytogenes were produced. Changes in the microbiological status of fermented sausages and physicochemical properties were monitored during ripening. Essential oils exhibited antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes, and in the groups with a high concentration (0.6%) of oregano or thyme essential oils (KLO2 and KLT2), the number of L. monocytogenes was below the detection threshold on day 14 of ripening, with a stronger effect of oregano. In groups with 0.3% essential oil of oregano or thyme added, the number of L. monocytogenes was reduced to below the detection threshold on day 21 of ripening. During the ripening, the aw and pH of all test groups of fermented sausages decreased. Experimental sausages with 0.3% thyme essential oil had acceptable smell and taste, while in other experimental groups, sausage smell and taste were very intense, uncharacteristic and unacceptable.

We report two cases of bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia divergens in a region of central Bosnia and Herzegovina. The cases were detected in June 2017 and July 2018 from two small backyard farms. Routine clinical assessments, including physical examination and haematology, revealed lethargy, fever, anaemia, leukopenia and haemoglobinuria in the affected animals. Serum alterations included an elevation of aspartate aminotransferase and a decrease of serum phosphate or hypophosphatemia. Thrombocytopenia was detected in the first clinical case. Microscopic examination of blood smears revealed intracytoplasmic protozoan parasites from the genus Babesia. Molecular screening of both animals confirmed the presence of Babesia divergens, the causative agent of bovine babesiosis. B. divergens DNA was also detected in two engorged female Ixodes ricinus ticks removed from these animals. In addition, Mycoplasma wenyonii DNA was identified by molecular screening in the animal examined in June 2017, and in I. ricinus ticks feeding on this animal. This study provides molecular confirmation of B. divergens as a cause of piroplasmosis in cattle in South-East Europe. The detection of M. wenyonii DNA ain I. ricinus also provides the first evidence of this bacterium in ticks in Europe.

This paper represents the first report on the presence of a cardiorespiratory nematodes in the gray wolf from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The heart and lungs with corresponding trachea from wolves that were legally hunted from 2009 to 2019 have been analysed by routine post mortem macroscopical examination. A total of 25 heart samples were examined for the presence of Dirofilaria immitis and Angiostrongylus vasorum, while five lungs with trachea samples were examined for the presence of lung nematodes. There was no confirmed presence of Dirofilaria immitis and Angiostrongylus vasorum, while the presence of species Eucoleus aerophilus was established in one case (20%). This study confirms that the gray wolf is a source of infection with Eucoleus aerophilus to other natural hosts.

Th is paper describes a rare case of severe notoedrosis (notoedric mange) in a household cat from the suburban region of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to history, the male cat was in direct contact with stray kitten which had dermatological disorder. Th e examination of the skin revealed an intensely pruritic and hyperkeratotic dermatitis with typical scabby appearance. Deep scarifi cation samples were collected from the altered skin area and macerated in 10% KOH. Th e microscopic examination revealed mites from genus Notoedres, later identifi ed as Notoedres cati according to the morphological shape and size. Th e aff ected cat was treated with ivermectin 0.4 mg/kg, subcutaneously, two times with 7 day intervals. The first follow-up physical examination was done aft er seven days. Th is control showed that pruritic changes began to disappear. This case report confi rms the presence of Notoedres cati in the cat population in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Veterinary laboratories include laboratories dealing with veterinary diagnostics and foodsafety studies. These are laboratories that carry out diagnostic tests in veterinary medicine, regardingto bacteriological, serological, virological, parasitological, chemical, biochemical, physical,pathological and radiological tests. These laboratories are also engaged in testing food, feed anddrinking water, as well as tests in order to assess the microbiological purity of equipment, devices,appliances, working surfaces, work clothes and workers' hands in production and marketing infacilities and means of transport that come in contact with food, in which there is a risk of theoccurrence and spread of an infectious disease.The aim of the study is to determine the role and directions of the development of veterinarylaboratories in B&H in relation to the accreditation system. In this way, we are getting an insightinto the condition and significance of veterinary laboratories in food and animal health control inorder to protect the health of animals and humans.In Bosnia and Herzegovina, eight veterinary laboratories are accredited, three in Republic of Srpskaand five in Federation of B&H. All eight (100%) accredited test methods in the field of food testing,while six (75%) accredited test methods in the field of veterinary diagnostics.The participation of accredited veterinary laboratories in the total number of accredited laboratoriesfor food in the Republic of Srpska is 37.50%, in the Federation B&H it is 23.80%, while at the levelof B&H it is 27.60%. Accredited veterinary laboratories in B&H have accredited tests in 10 technicalsub-areas of food testing, and in seven sub-areas their participation in the total number of accreditedlaboratories for food in B&H amounts to 50% or more. The participation of accredited veterinarylaboratories in the microbiological examination of feed and surface swabs is 80%. Physico-chemicaltesting of feed, testing of residues and contaminants in food and testing of radionuclide activity infood and feeds in B&H are performed exclusively by accredited veterinary laboratories (100%).Accredited veterinary laboratories in B&H have accredited a total of 41 different test methods inseven technical sub-areas in the field of veterinary diagnostics. 30 different test methods wereaccredited in the RS (73.20%), while 31 test methods (75.60%) were accredited in the Federation ofB&H.

Cilj ovog rada je bio da se ispita distribucija arterije i portalne vene portalnog sistema jetre tekunice (Spermophilus citellus) i dobijeni podaci uporede sa onima kod pacova, kunića, zamorčeta i nutrije. Jetra tekunice prima kiseonik i hranljive materije preko krvi iz dva velika krvna suda: portalne vene (v. portae) i jetrene arterije (a. hepatica propria). Portalna vena nastaje iz sliva tri glavne vene: v. gastropancreaticoduodenalis, v. gastrolienalis i v. mesenterica cranialis. Portalna vena skuplja vensku krv iz želuca, pankreasa, slezine, svih creva osim pravog creva (rectum). Portalna vena ulazi u portalni žleb na jetri zajedno sa jetrenom arterijom. Pet venskih grana različitih veličina odvajaju se od portalne vene i granaju se u odgovarajuće režnjeve jetre. Krv iz jetre odvode jetrene vene koje počinju sa centralnim venama u jetri. Tri velike jetrene vene i dva venska stabla odvode krv iz svih režnjeva jetre u kaudalnu šuplju venu u toku njenog prolaska kroz jetru. A. hepatica propria snabdeva jetru i žučnu kesu oksigenisanom krvlju. A. hepatica propria izlazi iz jetrene arterije (a. hepatica), koja je treća grana celijačne arterije. U portalnom žlebu, a. hepatica propria se deli u dve grane, od kojih leva grana dovodi arterijsku krv u levi režanj jetre, a desna grana u ostale režnjeve jetre. The aim of this paper was to study distribution of the hepatic artery and portal vein of the portal system of the liver in ground squirrels (Spermophilus citellus) and compare these data with those concerning the rats, rabbits, guinea pigs and nutrias. The liver of the ground squirrel receives the oxygen and nutrients through blood from two large blood vessels: portal vein and hepatic artery (a. hepatica propria). The portal vein is formed by the confluence of three main venous blood vessels: v. gastropancreaticoduodenalis, v. gastrolienalis and v. mesenterica cranialis. It collects venous blood from the stomach, pancreas, spleen and all of intestines except the rectum. The portal vein enters the porta hepatis on the liver together with the hepatic artery. Five venous branches of different size separate from the portal vein and ramify into the respective liver lobes. Blood leaves the liver through the hepatic veins that start with the central veins. Three large hepatic veins and two venous trunks drain lobes of the liver and enter the caudal vena cava as it passes through the liver. A. hepatica propria supplies the liver and gallbladder with oxygenated blood. It raises from the hepatic artery (a. hepatica) wich is the third branch of the celiac artery. A. hepatica propria in the portal fissure is divided into two branches, of which the left branch brings arterial blood to the left hepatic lobe, and the right branch brings it into other liver lobes.

Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (Railliet, 1898) and Angiostrongylus chabaudi (Biocca, 1957) are important cardiopulmonary metastrongyloids in felids. This case report describes, for the first time, a natural and patent mixed infection caused by A. abstrusus and A. chabaudi in a European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Most important, this is a rare report of fatal parasitism in wildlife, involving a severe verminous bronchopneumonia and gastrointestinal nematode and cestode infection with Toxocara cati, Taenia taeniaeformis, Aonchotheca putorii, and Ancylostoma spp. Emphasis is set to detailed description of granulomatous, interstitial verminous bronchopneumonia, morphological description of A. abstrusus and A. chabaudi, and molecular confirmation of diagnosis by triplex PCR. The data provided in this study contribute to the knowledge on the epizootiology and pathological effect of these neglected metastrongyloids in European wildcat.

Accreditation refers to the formal recognition that a confirmity assessmentbody (laboratory) is competent to conduct confirmity assessment activities accordingto internationally accepted rules. The accreditation of conformity assessment bodiesin Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is implemented by the Institute for Accreditationof B&H (BATA). Accreditation provides confidence in the laboratory test results.Veterinary laboratories for diagnostic testing refer to laboratories for testingmaterials of animal origin.The aim of the study is to determine the capacity of accredited diagnostic veterinarylaboratories for diagnotic testing in B&H in relation to the field of examination orthe scope of accreditation.This enables a clear insight into the capacity of diagnostic veterinary laboratoriesto respond to animal health control requirements in order to protect animal andhuman health.During 2017, six diagnostic veterinary laboratories were accredited in Bosnia andHerzegovina, three in Republika Srpska and three in the Federation of B&H.Of the seven accredited fields of testing in B&H, laboratories in Rebublika Srpskaaccredited all seven fields (100%), while laboratories in the Federation of B&Haccredited six fields (85.70%). The veterinary laboratories for diagnostic testing inB&H accredited a total of 42 different test methods. In the RS 30 test methods wereaccredited (71.40%), while in the Federation of B&H there are 31 accredited testmethods (81.60%).When it comes to various fields of veterinary diagnostic tests, B&H has thecapacity concerning accredited laboratories to respond to the reqirements , capacitiesof particular significance are those for serological (100% accredited laboratories),bacteriological (66.70% of accredited laboratories) and parasitological tests (50% ofaccredited laboratories). In relation to the total number of test methods regardingtype of animals, the most test method are accredited for diagnosis of cattle diseases(in the RS 36.70%, in the FB&H 38.70%, and at the B&H level 33.30%), they arefollowed by the methods for diagnosis of sheep and goat diseases and bird diseases.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of treatment with a single injection of GnRH and PGF2α on estrous response, fertility and service period. A total of 120 lactating Simmental cows were divided into four groups of 30 cows each: group PGF2α 40 was treated on the 40th day post partum with a single injection of 2 mL prostaglandin analogue (Estrumate), group PGF2α 50 was treated in the same way on the 50th day, group GnRH was treated on the 40th day post partum with a single injection of 2 mL GnRH analogue (Receptal), and the fourth group (control) was not hormonally treated. Fertility of cows was not significantly different (p>0.05). The difference in the estrous response and service-period between the control group and experimental groups was statistically significant (p lt 0.01). Cilj ovog rada bio je da se ispita uticaj tretmana sa PGF2α i GnRH na estrusno reagovanje, fertilitet i trajanje servis-perioda krava simentalske rase u laktaciji. Ukupno 120 krava bilo je podijeljeno u četiri grupe po 30 krava: prva grupa (PGF2α 40) je tretirana 40 dana post partum sa jednom injekcijom 2 ml analoga prostaglandina (Estrumate), dok je druga grupa (PGF2α 50) tretirana na isti način 50 dana, treća grupa (GnRH) tretirana je 40 dana post partum sa jednom injekcijom 2ml GnRH analoga (Receptal), a četvrta grupa nije hormonalno tretirana. Fertilitet krava nije se statistički značajno razlikovao između grupa (p>0.05), dok je kod estrusnog reagovanja krava i dužine trajanja servis-perioda između oglednih grupa i kontrolne grupe ustanovljena statistički značajna razlika (p lt 0.01).

Classical swine fever (CSF) has been present in Serbia for a long period of time as an endemic disease, and it occurs with lesser or greater intensity from year to year. Since it is a highly contagious disease of domestic and wild pigs, the outbreaks of the disease causes severe consequences for animal welfare, livestock production and economic losses to the national economies in countries where it occurs. Therefore, CSF has a great epizootiological and economic importance to the swine production, primarily because of trade restrictions for live pigs and pork products. CSF eradication and control programmes are generally based on vaccination strategies in countries with endemic occurrence of CSF or non-vaccination policies in countries which successfully eradicated or are free of CSF. Whatever the general eradication strategy is in place, in the case of an outbreak of CSF the stamping-out method is used for suppression and eradication of the disease, with strict implementation of specific veterinary-sanitary measures in the infected and surveillance zones, clearly defined by legal provisions. In the period before 2006, there were certain regions in Serbia where CSF occurred almost every year, including regions where pig farming was not the primary branch of animal husbandry. Pig identification and implementation of vaccination, as well as the control of trade of pigs from infected areas to other parts of the country were not very successful. Due to the serious losses inflicted by the disease, a new Programme of CSF control was adopted in 2006, which inter alia included the obligatory identification of pigs, registration of pig holdings and free of charge vaccination of all susceptible animals in the country, as well as the implementation of other statutory measures, including obligatory evidence of veterinary activities in the national Veterinary information system. The results obtained in the period after the implementation of the Programme of CSF control (2007, 2008 and 2009) indicate a positive impact on the reduction of outbreaks of CSF, as well as on the reduction of prevalence (p lt 0.001). Also, the effectiveness of vaccination of pigs in 2007 compared to the period before and after the implementation of the Programme was the highest (97.78%), as well as the costs of its implementation. Klasična kuga svinja (KKS) je prisutna u Srbiji prisutna duži vremenski period i sa manjim ili većim intenzitetom javlja se iz godine u godinu. Kako je u pitanju infektivna bolest svinja, a polazeći od karaktera njenog širenja sama pojava bolesti nanosi velike ekonomske štete za privredu svake zemlje. Stoga KKS ima veliki epizootiološki i ekonomski značaj za svinjarsku proizvodnju, a pre svega za stvaranje nesmetane mogućnosti odvijanja prometa svinja i proizvoda od svinjskog mesa. Program kontrole KKS se može izvoditi vakcinacijom ili biti bez nje. Kod pojave bolesti se i u jednom i drugom slučaju za suzbijanje i iskorenjivanje primenjuje metod 'stamping-out', i sprovode se određene veterinarsko-sanitarne mere u zaraženom i ugroženom dvorištu koje su decidno definisane zakonskim propisima. U proteklom periodu u Srbiji su postojali određeni regioni gde se KKS javljala skoro svake godine, a naročito je bila zabrinjavajuća pojava širenja bolesti u regione gde svinjarstvo nije primarna grana stočarstva. Kontrola prometa svinja iz zaraženih područja u druge delove zemlje bila je na niskom nivou. Zbog ozbiljnih gubitaka koje je nanosila pojava bolesti, donet je novi Program kontrole KKS koji između ostalog podrazumeva obavezno obeležavanje svinja i besplatnu vakcinaciju svih prijemčivih životinja u zemlji, kao i sprovođenje drugih zakonom propisanih mera. Dobijeni rezultati u periodu posle sprovođenja Programa kontrole KKS (2008. i 2009. godine) ukazuju na pozitivan uticaj ovih mera na smanjenje pojave žarišta KKS, kao i na smanjenje prevalance (p lt 0,001). Takođe, efikasnost sprovođenja vakcinacije svinja bila je najveća (97,78%) u 2007. godini, u odnosu na period pre i posle sprovođenja Programa.

Trichinellosis is a disease that affects both humans and animals, caused by a parasite from the Trichinellidae family and Trichinella genus. Humans get infected by consuming infected and inadequately thermally treated meat from domestic or wild animals containing cocooned infective larvae of T. spiralis. Aside from health problems caused by trichinellosis as a zoonosis, there is no doubt that it represents a serious economic problem for swine meat producers. The research in this paper has been performed in Serbia, in a region which is located at the confluence of two large rivers, and it is the geographical location which makes it an endemic area for the presence of T. spiralis. Epidemiological data pertains to the period of 1995-2003, but also to the period 2003-2009, when the implementation of the program for control and eradication of trichinellosis was complete. The diagnostic testing of cadavers of slaughtered swine for the presence of T. spiralis in the period of 1995-2003 included 41.04% of the slaughtered swine, out of which 0.4281% were positive, and the amount of economic loss was 95301000 dinars or about one million EUR. The infection was confirmed in 432 patients during the research period. The preparation of the program for the control and eradication of trichinellosis has been made in accordance with applicable laws and technological standards, with a clear determination of input and output using a cost-benefit analysis. The effects of its application show a reduction in the number of swine which are positive for the presence of T. spiralis by a factor of three times (p lt 0.01), and the present net value (PNV) and the benefit/cost ratio (B/C) show economic and epidemiological justification. Trihineloza je zajedničko oboljenje ljudi i životinja koje izaziva parazit koji pripada familiji Trichinellidae i rodu Trichinella. Čovek se zarazi tako što konzumira zaraženo, nedovoljno termički obrađeno meso domaćih i divljih životinja u kojima se nalazi učaurena infektivna larva T. spiralis. Pored zdravstvenih problema koje izaziva trihineloza kao zoonoza, nesumljivo je da ona predstavlja i ozbiljan ekonomski problem za proizvođača svinjskog mesa. Ova istraživanja su izvršena u Srbiji na teritoriji jednog regiona koji se nalazi u slivu dve velike reke, i zbog takvog geografskog položaja predstavlja endemsko područje za prisustvo T. spiralis. Epidemiološki podaci se odnose na period 1995-2003. godine, kao i na period 2003- 2009. godine kada je izvršena implementacija programa kontrole i eradikacije trihineloze. Dijagnostičkim ispitivanjem trupova zaklanih svinja na prisustvo T. spiralis u periodu 1995-2003. godina obuhvaćeno je 41.04% zaklanih svinja od čega je bilo 0.4281% pozitivnih svinja, a visina ekonomskih gubitaka iznosila je 95 301 000 dinara ili oko milion EUR-a. U toku posmatranog perioda obolele su 432 osobe. Izrada programa za kontrolu i eradikaciju trihineloze izvršena je na osnovu važećih zakona i tehnoloških standarda, uz jasnu determinaciju 'inputa' i 'outputa' pomoću 'cost-benefit' analize. Efekti njegove primene pokazuju smanjenje broja pozitivnih svinja na prisustvo T. spiralis za tri puta (p lt 0,01), a neto sadašnja vrednost (PNV) i odnos koristi i troškova (B/C) pokazuju ekonomsku i epidemiološku opravdanost.
