TL;DR: Findings suggest that in parts of Italy and possibly in other areas of Europe, where C imicola is absent or rare, C pulicaris may act as a fully competent vector of bluetongue virus.

TL;DR: The results suggest the stemness of the cells isolated from canine fat, and good quality control made them available for both experimental and clinical use, suggest significant potential for clinical use in the treatment of lameness, particularly when administered before the injury becomes severe.

TL;DR: This is the first detection of HEV in river waters in Italy, suggesting that surface water can be a potential source for exposure and the presence of HAV in the matrices tested indicates the potential for waterborne and foodborne transmission.

TL;DR: The genomic characterization of a CPV strain collected from a dog recently imported to Italy from Thailand confirmed the important role of movement of dogs in the global spread of viruses, as well as helping to better trace the spread of canine viruses through different continents.

TL;DR: The spread of novel CPV‐2c mutants in Italy is reported and supports further studies to evaluate the coexistence of genetically divergent CPV strains in the same geographical environment.
