“…Wildlife interacts with humans, domestic livestock, and pet animals and, thus, can act as reservoirs and sources for the spillover of several infections and zoonotic diseases to the human interface [ 90 ]. The potential role of wildlife as a source of human zoonoses is a significant public health concern [ 91 ]. The study of brucellosis in wildlife is neglected and has only recently received increasing attention.…”

Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Brucellosis in European Terrestrial and Marine Wildlife Species and Its Regional Implications

Brucellosis is an important bacterial zoonosis of domestic and wildlife species. This disease has a significant public health concern and is characterized by reproductive failure resulting in economic losses in the livestock industry. Among thirteen known species, B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, and B. canis are human pathogens. Brucellosis has been extensively investigated in humans and domestic animals. However, the situation in wildlife is still not completely reported and studied. Therefore, a systematic literature search and screening were done to clarify the situation of brucellosis in wildlife in Europe. Sixty-five articles from a total of 13,424 reports published between 1991 and 2021 were selected, applying defined inclusion criteria. Wild boars and brown hares were the most often studied terrestrial wildlife species, whereas seals and porpoises were the most often investigated marine wildlife. Poland, Croatia, and Belgium showed the highest seroprevalences of wild boars caused by B. suis biovar 2. In marine wildlife, brucellosis was mainly caused by B. ceti and B. pinnipedialis. Most samples were from carcasses. Thus, sera could not be collected. It is worrisome that B. abortus and B. melitensis were reported from both terrestrial and marine wild animals, posing a zoonotic threat to people exposed to wild animals. Currently, there is no approved vaccine available for wild animals. The main challenges are the development of specific diagnostics and their validation for use in wildlife.

“…Throughout the years, wildlife have been a major source of infectious diseases transmissible to humans. Wildlife act as a reservoir, which is a major public health problem [ 7 ]. The One Health initiative is a global plan for advancing collaborations in all aspects of health care for humans, animals, and the environment [ 101 ].…”

“…The One Health initiative is a global plan for advancing collaborations in all aspects of health care for humans, animals, and the environment [ 101 ]. Despite the One Health approach towards the diagnosis of bacterial and viral zoonotic infections from wildlife, little effort is put into mycotic zoonotic infections [ 7 , 102 , 103 ]. In conclusion, mycoses of wildlife are of public health importance; therefore, veterinarians, human medics, public health specialists, zookeepers, and wild pet owners should be better informed about the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and pathology of mycotic diseases of wildlife.…”

“…The same applies to zoonotic diseases; hence, the dynamic interplay between wildlife, domestic animals, and humans is important to maintain their zoonotic potential. The viral and bacterial zoonotic diseases with a wildlife origin have taken center stage with the reports of infectious pandemics; on that account, it is important to emphasize wildlife mycoses which could act as a source of zoonotic risks [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Wild animals are an important component of the ecosystem, and play a major role in it. However, in recent years, there has been an astronomical increase in the incidence of wildlife mycotic diseases leading to wildlife extermination. It is important to note that most of these mycotic diseases are zoonotic, and since there is a lot of attention given to zoonosis of a bacterial or viral origin in recent times, it is important to look into the mycotic diseases which may have zoonotic potential. Previously, the authors expatiated on some major wildlife mycotic diseases. In this review, we shed light on the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, pathogenicity, macroscopic and microscopic pathology, and hematological and serum biochemical findings of dermatophytosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, and sporotrichosis, which are very important mycoses of wildlife.

“…Among wild animals, ruminants play a major role in terms of multiple routes of contact with humans and the strong influence they still have on our culture [ 2 ]. In recent decades, the interest in wildlife diseases has increased, with the awareness of their public health implications and the importance of active surveillance [ 3 , 4 ]. Infectious diseases of wildlife can potentially pose health risks with multiple economic and health repercussions on domestic populations, as well as on human health [ 5 ].…”

Roe and Fallow deer are common wild ruminants widely distributed in Italy. Infectious diseases of these species can potentially pose health risks to domestic animals and humans. However, few studies have been conducted in which immune system cells in these species were phenotyped. The aims of this study were to determine the cross-reactivity of a wide anti-human panel of commercial antibodies on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples and to describe the distribution of roe and fallow deer main immune cell subsets in the lymph nodes and spleen. Twenty retromandibular lymph nodes (RLNs) and spleen samples were collected from 10 roe deer and 10 fallow deer and were tested by a panel of 12 commercial anti-human antibodies. The CD79a, CD20, CD3, Iba-1, MAC387, and AM-3K antibodies were successfully labeled cells in cervine tissue, while the Foxp3 and the CD68 did not show suitable immunostaining. This study supplies the first immunohistochemical description of immune cell subpopulations in non-pathological spleen and RLNs from roe and fallow deer and provides an easily repeatable manual IHC protocol to immunolocalize cervine B-, T-cells, and macrophages subsets in FFPE tissue samples.
