TL;DR: Immediate implementation of mcr-screening including this novel gene variant is required for Salmonella and E. coli from humans and food-producing animals in Europe.

TL;DR: A study was carried out in northeastern Italy during 2000 and 2001 to investigate the occurrence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campyloblacter coli in animals, cattle, pigs, and broilers, and raw meat, beef, pork, and chicken.

TL;DR: Results show that G. duodenalis can cause significant economic losses in sheep farming, and treatment with fenbendazole at a dose of 10mg/kg for 3 consecutive days, successfully cleared the infection.

TL;DR: The amino acid sequence of the full-length VP4 protein had low identity with the homologous sequences of representative strains of the remaining P genotypes, providing evidence for a novel P genotype.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that infection with group C rotavirus is frequent in Italian piggeries, and the considerable rate of multiple infections requires further studies to investigate the pathogenic potential of group CRotavirus in pigs, alone or in mixed infection, and raises challenges in the laboratory diagnosis of porcine enteric infections.
