The red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) has the widest global distribution among terrestrial carnivore species and is an important reservoir for a range of parasites. Investigations on parasitic fauna of red foxes have intensified in recent years in Serbia, resulting in the detection of some parasites that have not been recorded before. Within the Programme for the Control and Eradication of Rabies in Serbia, from January to March 2019, 52 legally hunted foxes were was established by standard methods, i.e. dissection followed by microscopic examination. Internal organs of the hunted animals were examined for the presence of parasites. Parasite identification was based on morphological characteristics. Parasites were found in 23 (44.23%) foxes. Eight species of parasites were established, among which, the nematode Molineus patens (Dujardin, 1845) was discovered in the small intestine of five foxes (9.61%). The intensity of M. patens infection varied from 17 to 43 parasites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first record of M. patens in red foxes in Serbia and in the Western Balkans.

dermanyssus gallinae ,control ,economic interest ,Animal culture ,SF1-1100 - Abstract
Poultry red mite or Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer, 1778) is the most significant poultry ectoparasite with regards to health and economy. It is a widely accepted opinion that D. gallinae can only be suppressed, with the current annual expenditure of 60 eurocents per layer. However, research indicates that D. gallinae can be controlled in other ways and eradicated from the production facilities and farms, and subsequent reinfestation can be prevented by implementing biosafety measures. This provides a long-term or permanent effect of D. gallinae control. From the aspect of economy, this means that after decades of increasing expenditures, farmers can first decrease, and then completely eliminate expenditures incurred by D. gallinae. Therefore, economic calculations should be based on an expert and comprehensive approach, which should itself be based on rational control, preventive veterinary medicine, i.e. D. gallinae control program. This would result in long-term savings. In 10 years' time, 0.5 million euros would be saved per 100.000 layers. There are an estimated 4 billion infested layers worldwide.

- Abstract
Grazing way of breeding allows small ruminant's constant contact with transient hosts, eggs and larval forms of parasites. Permanent pastures pose the greatest danger from the health point of view, especially if used unplanned and for many years. Uncultivated pastures with poor floristic composition cause nutritive imbalances, but cultivated pastures also represent a place of constant parasitic infections. The solution can be sought in the form of mixed and persecuted breed, and a limitation on the number of animals on the pasture. Are same time, the cultivation of pastures and biosecurity measures contribute to the successful prevention of parasitic diseases.

- Abstract
The grazing method of feeding allows small ruminants - goats and sheep, constant contact with transitional hosts and eggs and larval forms of parasites, so that there is no sheep that is not infected with at least one parasite species. Permanent pastures represent the greatest health risk for sheep and goats, especially if they have been used unplanned for many years. Uncultivated pastures with poor floristic composition cause nutritional imbalances, but cultivated pastures that are used improperly are also a place for constant infections, especially parasitic agents. The cultivation of pasture directly depends on the geological and pedological composition of the soil, hydrological conditions (standing, running water) and microclimatic conditions. The main goal of cultivation is to obtain a pasture that contains a minimum of infectious agents in the soil, which is maximally free from vectors and transitional hosts of certain diseases (molluscs, arthropods) and infectious forms of parasites. At the same time, the grass must be of optimal quality, density and nutritional value. Successful cultivation must be based on real data. This means that in addition to the floristic and pedological composition of the soil, parasitological control of the soil and grass must be done. Interventions on pastures can be a good prerequisite for controlling and preventing parasitic diseases. The solution can be sought in the form of grazing - it can be mixed and grazing, and also the limitation of the number of individuals in the pasture can be applied. Mixed grazing implies the grazing of different herbivores on one pasture, which certainly has a positive effect on the reduction of parasitic infections. Cross-country grazing is a method of using pastures to move animals from one part of the pasture to another at certain time intervals and return to them only after a certain period of rest.

- Abstract
The research was conducted in the population of the Pirot's autochthonous sheep in the area of Stara Planina Mountain, East Serbia. The production characteristics of sheep, milk yield and body weight, were observed. Oestrus is most pronounced in July (58%), then in August (33%), while lambs reach a weight of 22 kg at three months. Before experiment flock from which separated animals from examination we were examined to presence of parasitic infection, with coprological examination. A total of 21 animals were examined after slaughter. We revealed same gastrointestinal helminths: Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Dictyocaulus filaria, Ostertagia circumcincta, Os.ostertagi, Trchostrongylus axe, Tr colubriformis, Nematodirus filicollis, N,spathige, Haemonchus contortu, Marshallagia marshalli, Chabertia ovina, Oesophagostomum venulosumand Bunostomum trigonocephalum. After that, from herd were separated 100 one year old sheep and individually coprological examined to confirm the presence of parasite infections. The sheep were divided into two groups of 50 animals each - experimental and control group. First group has treated with the albendazole-based anthelmintic in dose 7.5 mg/kg through food. The second group has treated after the examination with same anthelmintic. A comparison of the obtained results indicates that in the group of treated animals body weight was average higher by 4.4 kg and milk yield was average higher by 231.08 g. The parasites significantly affected the weight and daily milk yield of sheep. The conclusion is that serious prevention in terms of sheep parasites is necessary.

- Abstract
Držanje i eksploatacija nerastova na komercijalnim farmama imaju za cilj proizvodnju doza sperme za sopstvenu upotrebu. Životni vek nerastova a samim tim i dužina njihove eksploatacije u velikoj meri zavise od njihovog zdravstvenog stanja. Zbog toga kontrola zdravstvenog stanja nerastova, kontrola kvaliteta sperme za veštačko osemenjavanje kroz nadzor nad celokupnim procesom od uzimanja sperme do kvaliteta osemenjivačke doze, optimizacija ambijentalnih i sveobuhvatnih uslova držanja (smeštaj, mikroklimat, ishrana, napajanje, odnos zaposlenih), predstavljaju važne parametre sa aspekta zdravstvene kontrole samih nerastova, zdravstvene kontrole čitavog zapata ali i ekonomskih parametara produktivnosti farme kao i rentabilnosti čitave proizvodnje. Jedan od često prisutnih zdravstvenih probelma predstavljaju oboljenja lokomotornog sistema nerastova koji na farmama komercijalnog tipa imaju najveće učešće kada su u pitanju uzroci isključenja nerastova iz procesa proizvodnje. Problemi se često javljaju već posle prvog skoka, kao posledica slabe okoštalosti hrsakvice butne kosti (raskrečenost zadnjih nogu). Kod mladih zdravih nerastova šepanje nastaje kao rezltat oštećenja jastučića papaka i prskanja rožine infekcije. Kao posledica smeštaja na betonskoj podlozi javljaju se poremećaji u stavovima nogu, krivljenje distalnih delova ekstremiteta i posledična šepavost, odbijanje skoka i isključenje takvih nerastova na samom početku eksploatacije. U toku eksploatacije nerasta treba omoguciti da ishrana obezbedjuje njegov razvoj i normalnu priplodnu kondiciju. Priplodna kondicija se obezbedjuje precizno normiranom i kontroloisanom ishranom.

- Abstract
Stajski način držanja ovaca sa velikim brojem životinja na realtivno malom prostoru, sa ujednačenim mikroklimatom i dubokom prostirkom pogoduju nastanku protozoarnih infekcija, posebno kokcidijama, naročito kod mlađih kategorija životinja. Na osnovu istraživanja u svetu i kod nas utvrđeno je da ova obolenja dominiraju kod jagnjadi i po prevalenci i po incidenci i praćena su značajnim morbiditetom i malim do umerenim mortalitetom. Fecesom inficiranih jedinki izlučuju se oociste ovih protozoa koje nisu sporulisane (i zbog toga su neinfektivne) a postaju infektivne nakon sporulisanja u spoljnoj sredini. Kada se kaže kokcidioza uobičajeno se misli na oboljenje uzrokovano protozoa iz familije Eimeridae – rod Eimeria. Osim familije Eimeridae, u rod kokcidija spadaju daleko opasnije zoonotske vrste - Cryptosporidium sp, Toxoplasma gondii i Sarcocysta sp., ali zadnje dve su u malom procentu prisutne kod nas. Kako su kokcidije iz roda Eimeria a zatim i Cryptospora primarni i najznačajniji uzročnici obolenja jagnjadi u radu je dat prikaz biosigurnosnih mera koje se koriste u njihovoj kontroli., The stable way of sheep breding with a large number of animals in a relatively small space, with a uniform microclimate and a deep mat favors the occurrence of protozoan infections, especially coccidia, especially in younger categories of animals. Based on research in the world and in our country, it was determined that these diseases dominate in lambs both in terms of prevalence and incidence and are accompanied by significant morbidity and low to moderate mortality. In the feces of infected individuals, oocysts of these protozoa are excreted, which are not sporulated (and therefore non-infectious), and become infectious after sporulation in the external environment. When we say coccidiosis, we usually mean the disease caused by protozoa from the family Eimeridae - genus Eimeria. Apart from the Eimeridae family, the coccidia genus includes far more dangerous zoonotic species - Cryptosporidium sp., Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocysta sp. but the last two are present in a small percentage here. Since coccidia from the genus Eimeria and then Cryptospora are the primary and most important causes of illness in lambs, the paper presents the biosecurity measures used in their control.

- Abstract
Ispitivanje krpelja u Srbiji ima dugu tradiciju i rađeno je sistematski. U ovom radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja krpelja kod ovaca na širem područja Beograda u periodu od 2011. do 2018. godine. Ukupno je pregledano 97 stada (2 297 ovaca) poreklom iz 43 sela u okolini Beograda. Tokom ovih istraživanja, kod ovaca na području Beograda su ustanovljeni I. ricinus (41,91%), Dermacentor marginatus (32,91%), Rhipicephalus bursa (17,22%), R. sanguineus (6,72%), Haemaphysalis punctata (2,21%) i D. pictus (1,09%). Odnos polova kod dominantnih vrsta krpelja je bio sledeći: od ukupnog broja prikupljenih krpelja, 52,35% su bile ženke, a 47,65% mužjaci. Odnos polova nađenih vrsta krpelja ukazao je na veći broj ženki u četiri vrste: I. ricinus, Ha. punctata, R. sanguineus i D. marginatus, dok je veći broj mužjaka otkriven kod jedne vrste – R. bursa i jednak broj kod krpelja D. pictus. U martu su nađeni I. ricinus, R. sanguineus, D. marginatus i Ha. punctata. U aprilu su pronađeni D. pictus i R. bursa. Maksimum brojnosti u aprilu dostižu D. marginatus i Ha. punctata, a u maju I. ricinus i D. pictus. U junu, populacijski pik imaju R. sanguineus i R. bursa, koje su najčešće nalažene vrste i u julu i u avgustu. U septembru je zapažen porast populacije I. ricinus i D. marginatus, dok je u oktobru uočen porast R. sanguineus., The examination of ticks in Serbia has a long tradition and is carried out systematically. In our work, we present results of research on ticks in sheep from the wider area of Belgrade in the period from 2011. to 2018. A total of 97 flocks (2 297 sheep) originating from 43 villages in the vicinity of Belgrade were examined. During these investigations, Ixodes ricinus (41.91%), Dermacentor marginatus (32.91%), Rhipicephalus bursa (17.22%), R. sanguineus (6.72%), Haemaphysalis punctata (2.21%) and D. pictus (1.09%) were found in sheep in the Belgrade area. The gender ratio of the dominant species of ticks was as follows: of the total number of ticks collected, 52.35% were females and 47.65% males. The sex ratio of the tick species found, showed a higher number of females in four species I. ricinus, Ha. punctata, R. sanguineus and D. marginatus, while a higher number of males was detected in one species - R. bursa and an equal number in D. pictus ticks. In March, I. ricinus, R. sanguineus, D. marginatus and Ha. punctata were found. D. pictus and R. bursa were found in April. D. marginatus and Ha. punctata reach their maximum abundance in April and I. ricinus and D. pictus in May. In June, the population peak were recorded for R. sanguineus and R. bursa, which were the most frequently found species in both July and August. In September, we observed an increase in the population of I. ricinus and D. marginatus, while in October we observed an increase in R. sanguineus presence.

- Abstract
Metastrongylidosis or pulmonary strongylidosis of pigs is a disease caused by several species of nematodes from the genus Metastrongylus. Metastrongylides belong to biohelminths whose causative agents use transitional hosts for their development and maintenance of the biological cycle, in this case numerous species of lumbricides (earthworms). The larvae acquire infectivity only when they eat by earthworms - intermedial host. The seasonal variation of microclimate conditions in the soil has a large part in the life of earthworms, and the inhibitory factors in their seasonal dynamics are directly related to the spread of metastrongylidosis. Overview of research conducted in the five-year period in the area of Belgrade it was established that the dominant species of earthworms which are intermediate hosts to lungworm: Eisenia foetida, Eisenia rosea, Dandreobena rubida, Allopbophora caliginosa, Allopbophora jassyensis, Lubricus terrestris and Lubricus rubbelus. Also, species occur as transitional hosts of metastrongylidosis was Eisenia veneta, Eisenella tetraedra, Allopbophora longa, Octolasium complanatuum, Octolasium lacteum, Octolasium rebeli, Dendrobaena octaedra, Dendrobaena subrubicunda, Dendrobaena mariupoliensis, Bimastus tenius and less often species from the genus Heledrillus spp.

West Nile fever is a vector borne viral disease that can affect humans, horses, birds and sometimes other species of animals. Every year West Nile fever is detected in the human population in Serbia. The disease often occurs in a subclinical form, but most clinically evident cases occur in horses. Therefore, horses are recommended as a sentinel species for monitoring the general incidence of West Nile fever in a specific territory. Our goal was to determine the prevalence of antibodies against West Nile fever virus in horses in the Belgrade epizootiological area. We examined serum samples from 77 horses to determine the seroprevalence of West Nile fever virus in horses throughout the city of Belgrade. Sera were tested by commercial ELISA tests for detection of specific IgG-class antibodies to West Nile fever virus and for the detection of specific IgM-class antibodies to confirm the presence of old and acute (recent) infections in horses. The results confirmed that West Nile fever virus is widespread, detected in 70.1% of the surveyed horse population in Belgrade, and we also detected 5.1% of acute cases had occurred due to horses being infected in 2019. The seroprevalence of West Nile virus in the horse population in the municipality of Belgrade is increasing.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is among a number of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) threatening the Balkans and therefore, preventing feeding of insects on cattle would reduce the spread of VBDs. In order to test the efficiency of Livestock Protective Fences (LPF) in the protection of dairy cattle from insect bites, a case-control study was conducted, in the districts of Nišava, Pirot and Pčinja, Southern Serbia. It consisted in comparing the number of biting flies collected within time, between 10 farms protected with LPF and 10 non protected ones. The insects were collected using two types of traps; the monoconical Vavoua trap set outside in between forested areas or rivers and the actual farm, and the BGsentinel trap baited with CO2, placed in proximity of the cattle but outside the stable. Vectors were collected every 15 days for 48 hours from May to October 2018 and kept in vials containing 70% of ethanol. Catches per trap were separately stored and for each trap, insects were classified according to species and sex and then counted. Data on milk parameters were analyzed separately, on data collected within protected farms, before and after the LPF deployment, and on data without protection at all. It was not possible to detect a direct impact of LPF on vector densities but the number of bacteria colonies (CFU) values were reduced. Some corrections/adaption in the methodology used may lead to better impact.

Background/Aim: Congenital malformations still represent one of the most important causes of prenatal and infant death. The study goal was to analyze occurrence and outcomes of different types of congenital anomalies from the tertiary referral center during a ten-year period. Moreover, study aimed at examining potential predictors of congenital anomalies based on patients’ characteristics and medical history data. Methods: Study included all pregnant women directed to Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinical Center of Serbia due to prenatally diagnosed congenital fetal anomalies during past ten years. Upon admission to our clinic a detailed general medical and obstetrical history were taken from every patient. All women underwent genetic testing. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance were diagnostic methods for fetal malformations confirmation. Results: Study included 773 pregnant women aged from 18 to 46 years. Out of registered nine different groups of fetal anomalies/malformations, the most common were malformations of the central nervous system, while majority of fetuses had combined multiple anomalies. Genetic cause for congenital anomalies was present in 25.2% of pregnancies. Medical pregnancy abortion was performed in 71.8% of cases. Only 10.2% of pregnancies ended in term. The best outcome for children was obtained in case of gastrointestinal anomalies (52% live-born). Contrary only one child with neck and thorax malformations could be saved. According to logistic regression the most important predictor of having a child with combined multiple anomalies was mother’s age, while predictor of central nervous system anomalies was gestational diabetes. The significant predictor of genetic anomalies was mother’s age. Conclusion: In our sample neurological congenital anomalies were the most common, although abnormalities of all organ systems were registered. Majority of pregnancies had to be discontinued due to combined multiple anomalies caused by genetic disorders. Older mother’s age and diabetes can imply on the increased risk for fetal malformations.

Technological solutions and environmental conditions have a significant impact on infestation intensity and the problems around D. gallinae control. Changes in keeping laying hens in EU, in terms of D. gallinae influence, have not led to the welfare of the layers. On the contrary, they have contributed to the spreading of disease, have worsened conditions for control and accentuated harmful consequences. Apart from the poultry, these changes have also had a negative impact on the welfare of humans, through a toxicological and zootonic risk, and economic damages. Conventional cages so far provide the most appropriate environment for D. gallinae control. Opportunities for improving, even solving the problem of D. gallinae control in egg production do exist, however they require a changing the entire approach hitherto.

The present study was conducted in 90 sheep and goats flocks from the territory of Vojvodina in the two years period of March 2016 to October 2017, during the grazing season. Tick infestation was deteected in 53.14% of examined animals. The most dominant was Ixodes ricinus (43.91%), followed by Dermacentor marginatus (31.91%), Rhipicephalus bursa (15.22%), R.sanguineus (8.72%), Hyalomma savignyi (3.72%),, Haemaphysalis punctata (3.21%) and D.pictus (2.72%) . The sex ratio of detected tick species showed a higher number of females in four species (I.ricinus, H.punctata, R.sanguineus and D.marginatus), while higher number of males were detected in two species (R.bursa and Hy.savignyi), and an equal number of ticks of the D.pictus. The population dynamics of recorded tick species showed two annual maxima, in spring (AprilMay) and in autumn (September-October). The considerable interchange between spring and autumn tick populations can be attributed mainly to environmental conditions.

Histamine is a biogen amin, which is formed by decarboxylation of the histidine amino acid, under the action of the L-histidine-decarboxylase enzyme. High level of free histidine in fish meat, bacterial histidin decarboxylase activity and high temperature of storage elevate the level of histamine. Among the most important factors that can affect the level of histamine in fish meat are the type of fish and the method of its preservation. In order to determine this dependence, 1030 samples of frozen fish (tuna, mackerel, sardines and sprat) and 167 samples of canned fish (tuna, sardines and mackerel) were monitored for histamine content by ELISA method. It was determined a lower concentration of histamine in frozen fish (from 5.71 mg/kg to 18.03 mg/kg) compared to canned fish (from 15.03 mg/kg to 110.6 mg/kg). The highest histamine concentrations were found in the mackerel samples, regardless of the preservation method (110.6 mg/kg in canned mackerel and 18.03 mg/kg in frozen mackerel), which were significantly higher compared to the histamine levels found in cans of tuna and sardines (p ˂0.0001). Of the total number of samples, three samples (two samples of canned sardines and one sample of canned mackerel) were declared unsafe for human health. In most of the analyzed samples, the level of determined histamine was relatively low, which confirms adequate implementation of control protocols and efficant surveillance of products placed on the Serbian market.

Introduction. Complete feed mixtures for laying hens are formulated to meet the requirements of the animals, for which various recommendations exist. Because of its nutritive value, feed provides a favorable environment for the growth of microorganisms. Prominent bacterial pathogens in poultry feed include Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, and Clostridium. There is a strong link between poultry feeds contaminated with bacteria pathogenic to humans and food borne disease occurrence, due to the feed-poultry-food-human chain. Materials and Methods. A total of fifty samples of complete feed mixtures for laying hens were collected during 2018 as a part of official controls. Feeds were analyzed for crude protein, crude ash, crude fat, crude cellulose, calcium and phosphorus, total numbers of bacteria, numbers of molds, Salmonella spp. and sulfite-reducing clostridia. Results and Conclusions. The feeds contained total bacteria and molds each at the level of 103 cfu g-1. Additionally, no Salmonella spp. or sulfite-reducing clostridia were detected in any feed sample. Saprophytic bacteria are frequently found in complete feed mixtures, but rarely are present in numbers considered as microbiologically unsafe. However, the presence of saprophytic bacteria can decrease the nutritive value of feed. The total number of bacteria and molds below the regulatory limits, as well as absence of pathogens in the commercially available poultry feed, indicates a high level of compliance with regulation. Furthermore, these results indicate the adequate implementation of controls and supervision of these poultry feed products in the Serbian market.

Pig stress syndrome (PSS) is an increasingly common disease. The disease is the result of intensive selection for greater fleshiness, which resulted in a point mutation on the 6
th chromosome. The disease is an inherited autosomal recessive, neuromuscular disorder of fattening animals. Highly productive pig breeds are most susceptible to stress. The appearance of the disease is influenced by stressogenic factors, and the disease passes in a preacute or acute course. Death occurs within 24 hours from the moment of action of the stressor, while the dead body stiffness occurs very quickly, i.e. within 5 minutes. In pigs prone to stress syndrome after the action of external stimuli, rapid glycogenolysis occurs in the muscles and abundant production of lactic acid, as a result of which the muscles become pale, soft and watery. This kind of meat is not suitable for processing in slaughterhouses, which causes losses in production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The dynamic stability problem of a Timoshenko beam supported by a generalized Pasternak-type viscoelastic foundation subjected to compressive axial loading, where rotary inertia is neglected, is investigated. Each axial force consists of a constant part and a time-dependent stochastic function. By using the direct Liapunov method, bounds of the almost sure asymptotic stability of a beam as a function of viscous damping coefficient, variance of the stochastic force, shear correction factor, parameters of Pasternak foundation, and intensity of the deterministic component of axial loading are obtained. With the aim of justifying the use of the direct Liapunov method analytical results are firstly compared with numerically obtained results using Monte Carlo simulation method. Numerical calculations are further performed for the Gaussian process with a zero mean as well as a harmonic process with random phase. The main purpose of the paper is to point at significance damping parameter of foundation on dynamic stability of the structure.

Some problems of modern analysis of the genome of domestic animals and the possibility of applying the results of the research in the selection have considered. Molecular genome analysis has progressed rapidly. Today, using modern DNA analysis, the domestic animals breeding value can be safely foreseen. Based on the scientist's intuition of early-20th century, after half a century, genetic markers had discovered. Thus, the traditional selection method has integrated with molecular techniques of selection by applying marker-assisted selection (MAS). Microsatellites have attracted great attention from scientists because they are widespread in the genome and have a high level of polymorphism. Thousands of SNPs have discovered with their exact position in the genome. This very reliable method occurred for analyzing the genome which shows the change of only one nucleotide base into the DNA molecule. All modern achievements of molecular genetics have opened the way for practical application in the selection of all kinds of domestic animals. Today, a combination of molecular or genomic selection combined with a traditional is very reliable method for a faster, more accurate assessment of the breeding value of animals.

This study examined the effects of chronic restraint stress (CRS: 2 hours × 14 days) on gene expression of three antioxidant enzymes, copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD 1), manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD 2) and catalase (CAT) in the rat hippocampus. Also, we examined changes in the activities of SOD 1, SOD 2 and CAT in the hippocampus of chronically stressed rats. Investigated parameters were quantifi ed by using real-time RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and assay of enzymatic activity. We found that CRS did not change mRNA and protein levels of SOD 1 and CAT, but increased mRNA and protein levels of SOD 2. However, CRS treatment increased the enzyme activities of SOD 1, SOD 2 and CAT. Our fi ndings indicate that the increased activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD 1, SOD 2 and CAT) in the hippocampus may be an important adaptive phenomenon of the antioxidant defense system in chronically stressed rats.

Prevalence of blood parasites in dogs in the Belgrade area has been investigated continuously during the last 20 years, especially in clinically suspicious dogs. In the period from 2014 to 2015, 249 blood samples of pets (182) and shelter dogs (67) were examined. Using Giemsa-stained blood smears, the presence of Babesia spp. was examined in erythrocytes and the presence of morulae of Ehrlichia spp. and Anaplasma spp. in circulating monocytes and granulocytes. To confirm positive findings of ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis in blood smears, CaniV-4 Test Kit or IDEXX SNAP 4DX test was used. Infection with two pathogens was found in 78/249 (31.32%) cases; in all cases, the infection with one of the protozoa or bacteria was in combination with heartworms. In blood-smears, babesiosis was found in 39.75% of pet dogs and in 71.64% of shelter dogs, ehrlichiosis in 15.93% and 28.35%, and anaplasmosis in 6.04% and 19.40%, respectivelly. From colected ticks, relative abundance analysis revealed that the species Ixodes ricinus was absolutely dominant and found in 50.53% (47/93), followed by Rhipicephalus sanguineus ‒ 38.70% (36/93), Dermacentor marginatus ‒ 9.67% (9/93), D. reticulatus, and Ixodes persulcatus found in 3.22% (3/93), which for the first time occurred in dogs in the Belgrade area and in Serbia.

The plants of genus Cymbopogon are well known for their use in traditional medicine and for their high content of essential oils that are widely used as flavoring agents, fragrances, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Essential oils isolated from the dried stems and inflorescence of cultivated Cymbopogon schoenanthus (L.) Spreng. (Poaceae) collected from Khartoum state (Sudan) in two periods were studied. The results of chemical analysis of C. schoenanthus revealed that this plant is rich in essential oil which is a valuable source of the commercially important monoterpene, piperitone (47.7-71.5%). Other abundant constituents of the oils were intermedeol (6.1-17.3%), δ-2-carene (4.5-10.0%) and elemol (2.7-9.0%). The essential oil from the inflorescence was tested for spasmolytic activity using three different experimental models: against spontaneous contractions, contractions induced with acetylcholine and contractions induced with potassium chloride. The oil exhibited strong, significant and dose-dependent spasmolytic activity, indicating the possibility for further investigations of this essential oil for its medicinal purposes or application in food industry.

The radioactive iodine (131I) ablation is a well-accepted treatment modality for differentiated thyroid cancer patients. Unfortunately, the radiation induces the oxidative stress and damages cells and tissues, simultaneously activating the mechanisms of antioxidative defense. Since the mechanisms of those processes are not completely known, we wanted to examine the changes in the most important reactive oxygen species and antioxidative components, as well as their correlation and significance for lipid peroxidation. Our results showed that the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances was increased during the first 30 days after the radiotherapy. Among antioxidant components, superoxide dismutase was increased in the 3rd and 30th day; catalase in 7th and reduced glutathione in 3rd and 7th day after the radiotherapy. As regards the prooxidants, the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was recorded in 7th and 30th day, and superoxide anion radical (O×-) was unchanged after the exposure to 131I. These results indicate that differentiated thyroid cancer patients are under constant oxidative stress despite the observed increase in antioxidative and reduction in prooxidative parameters. The understanding of these early processes is important since their progress determines the latter effects of 131I therapy.

- Abstract
Pesticides used for crop protection can have an indirect effect on target and non-target organisms and are considered to be one of the main causes of insect decline.Insects may come into touch with polluted surfaces, products, or eating or drinking from contaminated sources.Pesticide residues collected over bee plants thus they accumulate in the larvae and inside the hive. Also, the consequence of the accumulation of pesticides in bees can be their presence in bee products. Bee exposure pesticide residues can have similar long-term effects on their cognitive capacities, their behavior and fitness. Bee poisoning is often associated with exposure to pesticides. Bees can be exposed to toxic compounds through contaminated flowers, direct contact with the poison or contact with residues. Dusting crops during the flowering period can increase the risk of pesticide poisoning for bees. Rapeseed plants are very attractive to beneficial insects, especially honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)., Pesticidi koji se koriste za zaštitu useva mogu imati indirektan uticaj na ciljne i neciljne organizme i smatraju se jednim od glavnih uzroka opadanja broja insekata.Insekti mogu doći u dodir sa zagađenim površinama, proizvodima ili jesti ili piti iz kontaminiranih izvora.Ostaci pesticida se sakupljaju preko pčelinjih biljaka i tako se akumuliraju u larvama i unutar košnice. Takođe, posledica akomulacije pesticida u pčelama može biti prisustvo i u pčelinjim proizvodima. Izloženost pčela ostacima pesticida može imati slične dugoročne efekte na njihov kognitivni kapaciteti, njihovo ponašanje i kondiciju. Trovanje pčela je često povezano sa izlaganjem pesticidima. Pčele mogu biti izložene toksičnim jedinjenjima kroz kontaminirano cveće, direktan kontakt sa otrovom ili kontakt sa ostacima. Zaprašivanje useva tokom perioda cvetanja može povećati rizik od trovanja pesticidima za pčela. Biljke uljane repice su veoma privlačne za korisne insekte, posebno za medonosne pčele (Apis mellifera L.).

- Abstract
Med, prirodna hrana sa nutritivnim i terapeutskim značajem, takođe zahteva toplotnu obradu tokom proizvodnje serije. Med je neophodno preraditi pre nego što se stavi u promet, jer se sirovi med lako kristališe posle izvesnog vremena i može sadržati neke mikroorganizme i nečistoće kao što su pčelinji vosak, koje mogu negativno uticati na senzorna svojstva. Hidroskimetilfurfural (HMF) se obično koristio kao indikator svežine i smatra se jednim od najvažnijih faktora u predviđanju kvaliteta uzoraka meda. Iz tog razloga je količina i stvaranje HMF pod uticajem tretmana grejanja i skladištenja na uzorcima meda iz Srbije ispitivano u ovom istraživanju., Honey, a natural food with nutritional and therapeutic significance, also requires heat treatment during batch manufacture. It is necessary to process honey before it is put on the market, because raw honey crystallizes easily after a certain time and contains some microorganisms and impurities such as beeswax, which can negatively affect the sensory properties. Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was typically utilized as a freshness indicator and is regarded as one of the most crucial factors in predicting the quality of honey samples. For this reason, the amount and formation of HMF under the influence of heating and storage treatment on honey samples from Serbia was investigated in this study.

- Abstract
Feline coccidiosis is a disease of mostly young animals and regardless of the large number of infected animals, the disease rarely appears. The causative agents are coccidia from the genus Cystoisospora (Isospora) (C. felis, C. bigemina and C. rvolta) and Eimeridae (Eimeria felina and E. cati). Infection is produced orally by coccidia oocysts. Parasites are located in the mucosa of the small intestine. Infections pass in most cases asymptomatic. In severe infections, in kittens long-term bloody diarrhea occurs, there is a general weakness and loss of appetite, and the animals lose weight quickly. Depending on the severity of the infection, death is possible, especially with infections with Cystoisospora felis. In animals that have recovered, the symptoms subside 5 to 7 days. During 2021 we examined feces of 81 pets cats that had symptoms of dysentery, diarrhea, weight loss, fainting and abdominal pain. It usually occurs in young animals. A fecal sample is examined for oocysts using fecal flotation (saturated salt or sucrose solutions). Speciation should be undertaken, and in puppies this may require artificial sporulation of the oocysts with potassium dichromate. Infection with Cystoisospora felis we established in 22.13%, with C. rvolta in 3.27% and with Eimeria cati in 11.18% of examined cats.

- Abstract
Trace elements include microelements and heavy metals. Some of them are essential for plant nourishment, but when used in greater amounts, they are harmful to the environment. There are also trace amounts of other elements (Cd, Hg, and Pb) in the soil, although these are not essential to plants and are major soil pollutants. Microelements are crucial to plant nutrition and are necessary for healthy plant growth and development. They have a role as cofactors and take part in a number of metabolic activities, including respiration and photosynthesis. Rocks (minerals), the fundamental substrate on which the soils were formed, are where microelements and heavy metals in the soil originate. The majority of the time, the naturally occurring concentration of heavy metals in soil is modest and has no effect on the agro-ecosystem's pollution. Trace elements can reach the soil in a variety of ways, and how they behave there depends on the kind and source of the substance. Most frequently, they enter the soil through a variety of anthropogenic methods, including transportation, burning fossil fuels, extraction and smelting, the production of non-ferrous metals, collection of urban and industrial waste, use of waste sludge and other waste as fertilizer, irrigation, atmospheric deposition from industrialand urban emissions, as well as the use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. This research was conducted in order to determine trace elements in soil intended for growing grass in the territory of Vojvodina, Sremski district, geographical coordinates 44.96003149334459, 20.27415379860020. Trace elements were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy using PinAAcle 900T (PerkinElmer, US). The results of the test gave the average level of the content of trace elements, which is: Cd (0.15 ± 0.03), Cu (12.08 ± 3.04), Pb (26.46 ± 5.45), Zn (24.74 ± 1.24), Hg (0.03 ± 0.01), As (4.68 ± 0.87), and Fe (89.30 ± 17.51) mg/kg.

- Abstract
Pesticidi su važan faktor u proizvodnji prehrambenih biljaka, kao i smanjenju populacije štetnih insekata i uništavanju glodara. Lipofilni karakter većine pesticida može dovesti do njihovog bioakomulacije u masti, što može imati štetne posledice po zdravlje ljudi i životinja. Cilj ovoga pregled je da predstave saznanja o prisustvu i određivanju pesticida u mleka, sa akcentom na određivanju sadržaja DDT. Razmatraju se rezultati dobijeni pri prvim kontrolama prisustva DDT, kao i oni najnoviji koji su dobijeni poslednjih godina upotrebom novih metoda ekstrakcije i kontrole savremenim tehnikama. I dalje postoje izazovi u samom načinu određivanja i razvoju jednostavnih tehnika i procedura za kontrolu. Ali su rezultati dobijeni poslednjih godina u svim zemljama ujednačeni i slažu se da je prisustvo DDT u mleku sve manje od prvih kontaminacija sedamdesetih godina prošloga veka., Pesticides are an important factor in the production of food plants, as well as reducing the population of harmful insects and destroying rodents. The lipophilic character of most pesticides can lead to their biaccumulation in fats, which can have harmful consequences for human and animal health. The aim of this review is to present knowledge about the presence and determination of pesticides in milk, with emphasis on the determination of DDT content. The results obtained during the first controls for the presence of DDT are discussed, as well as the most recentdeveloping simple techniques and procedures for control. But the results obtained in recent years in all countries are uniform and they agree that the presence of DDT in milk is decreasing since the first contaminations in the seventies of the last century. ones obtained in recent years using new methods of extraction and control using modern techniques. There are still challenges in the very way of determining and

- Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) represent important environmental pollutants from the group of persistent organic pollutants. Although the use of PCBs is banned in many countries, but they still figure in the environment. Due to its lipophilic character and accumulation in fats, food of animal origin is the one that is most exposed to accumulation and the possibility of the presence of PCB residues [2, 3]. It can be said that fish can be considered environmental indicators. Consumption of fish and fish products is growing globally, because consumers see fish as a natural and safe product. Fish safety control and testing for the presence of PCBs is important because it is an indicator of the state of the environment. The aim of this research is to present the current determination of PCBs in fatty tissue of tuna fish. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used for the detection of selected polychlorinated biphenyls. The work was performed for validation of the most important congeners (PCB 28, 52, 101, 153, 138 and 180) which are defined by national and international legislation.

- Abstract
Mala buba košnice ili Aethina tumida se relativno skoro pojavila u patologiji pčelarske proizvodnje. Aethina tumida je insekt iz reda Coleoptera, familije Nitidulidae i roda Aethina. A. tumida potiče iz Afrike gde parazitira kod afričkih pčela (Apis mellifera scutellata), koje su razvile efikasan zaštitini mehanizam prema njima. Tokom devedesetih ona se proširila po svetu i do sada je ustanovljena subsaharskoj, centralnoj i Južnoj Africi, severnoj Americi (SAD, Kanada),centralnoj Americi, Aziji (na Filipinima i u Koreji), Australiji, a od 2015. i u Evropi, na jugu Italije u Kalabriji i na Siciliji. Odrasli insekti su tamno smeđe do crne boje i dugi oko 5–6 mm. Odlični su letači i mogu da prevale ogromne udaljenosti, do 20km godišnje., The small hive beatle or Aethina tumida appeared relatively recently in the pathology of beekeeping. Aethina tumida is an insect of the order Coleoptera, family Nitidulidae and genus Aethina. A. tumida comes from Africa, where it parasitizes African bees (Apis mellifera scutellata), which have developed an effective protection mechanism against them. During the nineties, it spread around the world and until now it has been established in sub-Saharan, central and South Africa, North America (USA, Canada), Central America, Asia (in the Philippines and Korea), Australia, and since 2015 in Europe, in the south of Italy in Calabria and Sicily. Adult insects are dark brown to black in color and about 5–6 mm long. They are excellent flyers and can cover huge distances, up to 20km per year.

- Abstract
Kokcidioza ovaca se javlja u akutnom i hroničnom toku, sa velikim morbiditetom, ređa klinička manifestacija koje se javlja kod jagnjadi. Osnovni cilj programa kontrole kokcidioze ovaca jeste podizanje zdravstvenog statusa ovaca u Republici Srbiji. Sprečavanjem pojave i širenja kocidioze preduzimanjem određenih biotehničkih i zdravstvenih mera koje imaju ulogu da smanje prevalenciju parazita, postiže se veći prirast i bolji proizvodni rezultati ovaca. Primena ovog integrisanog koncepta kontrole infekcije parazitima zahteva sistematsko praćenje infekcije na farmama, pre i posle primenjenih mera i zahteva uključivanje svih relevantnih subjekata, prvenstveno veterinarske službe, počev od farmi, pa do radnika sa životinjama.
