Abstract

La valutazione del benessere degli animali trasportati è particolarmente complessa e richiede l’individuazione di indicatori, basati su conoscenze scientifiche, che prendano in considerazione sia l’animale che l’ambiente nel quale è trasportato. Utilizzando la terminologia anglosassone, si tratta, rispettivamente, di indicatori di benessere “animal-based” e “environment-based”. Considerarli singolarmente sarebbe un errore, poiché nessuno di loro è in grado di fornire autonomamente una valutazione complessiva del benessere degli animali durante il trasporto. Inoltre, tra questi due diversi approcci non vi è competizione; al contrario, esiste una necessaria complementarietà che origina dalla grande complessità delle situazioni ambientali, fisiologiche e comportamentali che si creano nel trasporto. Nel capitolo sono esaminati entrambi gli approcci, individuando al loro interno quegli indicatori che in misura maggiore possono essere impiegati per la valutazione complessiva del benessere animale durante il trasporto.

Abstract

In this study a cELISA for the diagnosis of brucellosis due to B. melitensis in sheep and goats was evaluated and its capability of discriminating vaccinated from infected animals was assessed. Information is provided indicating that the cELISA has a diagnostic sensitivity (99.4%) and specificity (98.9%) in sheep and goats comparable to that of many standard indirect ELISA methods. In addition, the test proved able to distinguish between vaccinated and infected animals with an accuracy of up to 90% and results reproducibility of 93%. It was concluded that the cELISA could be useful for differentiation of Rev.1 vaccinated and naturally infected sheep and goats.

Abstract

The presence of Aujeszky's disease virus was investigated in various organs and materials from experimentally infected dogs, employing the fluorescent antibody test (FAT), tissue culture and biological tests in rabbits. The FAT appeared less sensitive for virus detection than virus isolation in cell culture and rabbit tests. The virus distribution in the central nervous system was related to the site of inoculation.
