“…Association with porcine abortion, with sows with reproductive problems, and with preputial fluid of boars and fattening pigs has also been reported (33,115). Arcobacter cryaerophilus is the species predominantly linked to animal abortion, while A. butzleri and A. skirrowii are less frequent (33,118). The recently described species A. thereius (74) was also recovered from livers and kidneys of spontaneous porcine abortions, but despite the fact that no other established abortifacient agents were detected, the pathogenic role of this recently described species still needs to be established beyond doubt (74).…”

“…Although Arcobacter has been associated several times with bovine abortion (39,115), these bacteria have also been recovered from healthy bovine preputial sheath washings (55), as well as from vaginal swabs from cows with no reproduction problems (89). Association with porcine abortion, with sows with reproductive problems, and with preputial fluid of boars and fattening pigs has also been reported (33,115). Arcobacter cryaerophilus is the species predominantly linked to animal abortion, while A. butzleri and A. skirrowii are less frequent (33,118).…”

Taxonomy, Epidemiology, and Clinical Relevance of the Genus Arcobacter

SUMMARY The genus Arcobacter , defined almost 20 years ago from members of the genus Campylobacter , has become increasingly important because its members are being considered emergent enteropathogens and/or potential zoonotic agents. Over recent years information that is relevant for microbiologists, especially those working in the medical and veterinary fields and in the food safety sector, has accumulated. Recently, the genus has been enlarged with several new species. The complete genomes of Arcobacter butzleri and Arcobacter nitrofigilis are available, with the former revealing diverse pathways characteristic of free-living microbes and virulence genes homologous to those of Campylobacter. The first multilocus sequence typing analysis showed a great diversity of sequence types, with no association with specific hosts or geographical regions. Advances in detection and identification techniques, mostly based on molecular methods, have been made. These microbes have been associated with water outbreaks and with indicators of fecal pollution, with food products and water as the suspected routes of transmission. This review updates this knowledge and provides the most recent data on the taxonomy, species diversity, methods of detection, and identification of these microbes as well as on their virulence potential and implication in human and animal diseases.

“…They have been isolated from various animals, including pigs, cattle, and sheep, in association with abortion, reproductive problems, mastitis, gastric ulcers, and enteritis (4,(9)(10)(11)(12). The organisms have also been detected in water samples and clinically healthy farm animals, including several poultry species (7,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

On 6 September 2009 (GMT 21:49) a moderate Mw5.4 earthquake sequence burst at the eastern border of Albania with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Th e main shock was located ~6 km north of the epicentre of the 30 November 1967 Mw6.2 Dibra (or Debar) earthquake, which caused loss of life and considerable damage to buildings. We use broad band waveforms recorded by the Hellenic Unifi ed Seismic Network (HUSN), which receives real-time waveforms from the neighbouring networks, to compute focal mechanisms, obtain the slip model and derive the ShakeMap of the mainshock. Th e focal mechanisms of 18 of the stronger events of the sequence, obtained through time-domain moment tensor inversion, indicate that deformation is taken up by NNE−SSW-trending normal faults, in agreement with the ~E−W extension previously identifi ed within the Albanian orogen. Our results show that the 2009 main shock ruptured a roughly 9 km normal fault at a depth of 6 km, which strikes at 194° and dips west at ~45°. Th e slip of the main shock was confi ned to a single patch of ~9 km × 6 km, the average slip was 5 cm and the peak slip was 18 cm. Th e slip model was incorporated in a forward modelling scheme to simulate the ground motion distribution in the near fi eld. Th e ShakeMap thus obtained, based on the distribution of Peak Ground Velocity at phantom stations, outlines the mesoseismal area within the Dibra and Bulqiza districts in Albania, in accordance with macroseismic observations. Th e region aff ected by the 2009 sequence, together with the seismogenic region of the 1967 Dibra event, form a roughly NNE−SSW-trending structure which is an active seismotectonic zone in eastern Albania constituting a threat for nearby urban areas.

“…A. cryaerophilus have been isolated from aborted pig fetuses from some countries, including Brazil (SCHROEDER-TUCKER et al, 1996;OLIVEIRA et al, 1997;1999). A. butzleri have been detected from enteritis in humans (LERNER et al, 1994;LAWERS et al, 1996;LAU et al, 2002;FERNANDEZ et al, 2004;VANDENBERG et al, 2004) and also the microorganisms were isolated from poultry and pig carcasses (RIDSDALE et al, 1998;OLIVEIRA et al, 2001;.…”
