    Abstract African swine fever continues to evolve in Europe and in our country, even in the last two years of the pandemic, and is currently the main threat to the global swine industry. It affects more than 50 countries on 5 continents, with several epidemiological scenarios. Even this year, Romania was not bypassed by this serious disease, which causes many economic damages: in the case of domestic pigs, in the EU Member States were registered, between 01.01-16.01.2022, 24 outbreaks, of which 22 in Romania. In the same period, 565 outbreaks of PPA were reported in wild boars. Most evolve in Poland (177), Bulgaria (120), Germany (78) and Romania (59). Europe is waiting for an effective vaccine against African swine fever (PPA) by 2024, the main risk to pig health worldwide, being the only way to eradicate the disease. Veterinary services continue their efforts to prevent the spread of the African swine fever virus (PPA), those for the management of disease outbreaks, with the aim of reducing outbreaks and spreading this disease, which already has a history in our country, evolving since 2017 almost constantly.

    Abstract Abstract From ancient times honey was renowned for healing properties both in internal consumption and of external applications. Samples of non-standardized honey obtained direct from beekeeper was used in a study using a method of growth inhibition in the culture medium of microorganisms. In this aim were been chosen a few of high pathogenic bacterial species implicated in severe infection both in animals and human: Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Enterococcus faecium and Pasteurella haemolytica. The zone diameter of inhibition (ZDI) was the most developed with the highest value in the case of Bacillus subtilis (35 mm) and the lowest value was obtained in the case of Salmonella typhimurium (21 mm). Also in a diluted sample of honey was calculated the total number of bacteria colonies, then was inoculated material from a culture of Staphylococcus aureus. After bacteria inoculation was calculated again the total number of bacteria colonies and then the samples were been maintained in thermostat (37oC) 12 hours and was repeated the counting of total number of bacteria colonies. In comparison with the value obtained at first counting of bacteria colonies after inoculating of Staphylococcus aureus culture (1326 colonies/milliliter), at the second counting the obtained value was nearly half (698 bacteria colonies/milliliter) from this one. All these demonstrate the antibacterial activity of honey apparently due to some bactericidal factors in its composition.

    Abstract It seems that after information media lately have been detected more cases of American foulbrood in our country, but this is not yet known by the beekeepers. In November 2013 a beekeeper brought laboratory six dead bees and portions of honeycomb, because bees dying and he did not know why. Following clinical examination of dead bees was not obvious a major change so bacteriological examination was used. After taking over samples by a single dead bee in liquid culture medium, in the second day, the bacteriological examination emphasized a pure culture, rich of bacilli. There are rare situations when one can observe a pure culture of bacteria obtained from a single sample. After cultivation on special mediums, like agar with egg, the developing of rough colonies was no longer any doubt that the isolated bacteria are Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae (Bacillus larvae), etiologic agent for American foulbrood.

    Abstract Bird flu or avian influenza continues to cause problems at European level, with new outbreaks of disease being reported, including those identified in January 2020 in Romania. It was first identified in the 1900s in Italy, but was later found worldwide. An avian influenza virus, H5N1, was identified in 1997 in Asia and created worldwide panic, talking about the imminence of a major epidemic. In October 2005, the H5N1 virus also arrived in Romania, being identified in birds from Ceamurlia de Jos, Tulcea County. Romania is the first European country where the presence of this virus has been officially confirmed. Avian influenza has attracted the attention of the international community over the years, with outbreaks in the poultry industry or livelihoods having serious consequences on both livelihoods and international trade in many countries. Apart from Romania, avian influenza is still evolving in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Ukraine and Northern Ireland. Preventing the occurrence and combating avian influenza can only be achieved through international cooperation and collaboration, in order to know at any time the epidemiological situation and the pathogenic capacity of the etiological agent. Continuous surveillance of avian influenza virus in wild birds is very important, as it provides us with an "early warning" about the introduction of the virus into new regions, and can conduct appropriate risk assessment studies. It is also important to understand the behavior of wild birds, possibly the transmission of the virus between wild and domestic birds, the age categories of the frequently affected wild birds, the migration routes. At the same time, it is very difficult to prevent the occurrence of avian influenza in domestic birds due to the fact that a strategy for controlling wild birds cannot be established, the only solution to prevent the occurrence of the disease being the maximum limitation of contact between domestic and wild birds.

    Abstract Due to its richness in nutrients, milk represents a complete and balanced food that can be prepared from many other important products in human nutrition. But milk is also a medium of culture for numerous microorganisms. Although milk possesses antimicrobial mechanisms, in many cases it can be contaminated by endogenous or exogenous sources. This microorganism contamination of sheep milk and finished products depreciate its qualitative and produce severe food poisoning to consumers. In this study aimed a bacteriological control of five samples of milk haphazardly collected from six particular herds of sheep in the western part of the country. In parallel was carried out a clinical examination of the animal, insisting on mammary gland and examination of blood samples collected from the same animals. In laboratory was performed a bacteriological examination of milk samples and leucogram on blood samples. The identified bacterial species in milk samples were Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Enterococcus durans, Enterococcus faecium. Although it started from the idea that the animals were healthy, it was still identified in more than half of the subjects examined subclinical mammary gland infections.

    Abstract Myiasis represents an infestation of animals and humans caused by the maggots of certain fly species of Diptera order, Insecta class, which feed on the hosts' living or dead tissues or body fluids. In sheep, myiasis is a major animal welfare issue developing serious pain, suffering and in untreated cases may result in tissue injuries, reproduction and productivity losses and even death. There are two most important fly species which cause traumatic cutaneous myiasis of sheep in Europe: Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Sarcophagidae) implicated in etiology of wound myiasis in southern and eastern Europe and Lucilia sericata (Calliphoridae), implicated in etiology of sheep strike, mainly in the middle latitudes of Europe continent. A few farmers from Timiş, Arad and Caraş-Severin counties were been asked to response to a questionnaire on the prevalence of traumatic myiasis which evolved in their sheep flock in April-September period of year 2012. From a total number of 2206 sheep taken into study were been discovered 1658 healthy sheep (75.16%) and 548 sheep with myiasis (24.84%). From identified lesions with myiasis were been collected insects maggots from all three stages of development and were been prepared in Microbiology laboratory in the view to obtain data on the culturable bacteria isolated under aerobic conditions. Bacteria detected from maggots samples were: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris, Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli. The myasis insects maggots in sheep infestation can acquire many bacteria from their host or from their surroundings, all these can, together another bacteria, complicate the lesions and without treatment may lead to animals death.

    Abstract African swine fever (ASF) is a viral infectious disease specific to domestic and wild swine of all ages, highly contagious and very serious, probably the most dangerous and damaging disease of pigs, able to produce in new outbreaks of domestic swine fever a mortality of up to 100%. This disease is produced by a deoxyribovirus of the genus Asfavirus, the family of Asfaviridae with at least 22 different genomic types. In Europe, the disease was first reported in 1957 in Portugal, around Lisbon. Although the first outbreaks were declared eradicated, in 1960 others appeared when the disease spread to Spain and after that it could not be eradicated until 1990, after great efforts and huge losses. ASF was also reported in other European countries as: France (1964), Italy (1967), Malta (1978), Belgium (1985), The Netherlands (1986). Of all this, ASF could be eradicated by extremely drastic and costly measures, except in Sardinia, where it would seem to persist in today's endemic form. In the middle of 2007 this disease appeared in countries of the former Soviet Union and in the Czech Republic, then in 2016 in Poland, in 2017 in Romania, Hungary and Belgium. In 2018 ASF spread in Bulgaria and Italy. The updated map of European Union outbreaks of swine fever in the European Union shows that Romania is the country most affected by the virus, with almost half of the counties in the red zone - officially discovered pests.

    Abstract Beginning with 2006, in Europe had been a lot of Bluetongue (BT) outbreaks evolving like hemorrhagic disease in ruminants, caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). This paper reviews an epidemiological situation of this disease in Europe and in Romania in the last years with all health and economic problems that followed the outbreaks. For the first time described in 1905 in Merino sheep from South Africa, BTV is an Arbovirus isolated from wild and domestic ruminants, with sublinical to fatal symptoms of disease. The name Bluetongue derived from necrosis, cell injuries with vascular thrombosis, oedema, haemorrhages that make the tongue cyanotic, with a blue colour. By historically point of view BTV is known to be prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas between 35̊ S and 45̊ N, but many outbreaks were than reported in further northwards, an emergence may be caused by climate changes, when a high temperature contributes to both distribution and competence of certain species of Culicoides midges, known to be the insect vector of BT disease. With the exception of Antarctica BTV was been isolated on every continent. From 1,400 species of Culicoides throught the world, only about 30 species have been discovered to be competent biological vectors. There are more regions in Europe believed previously to be not a risk for bluetongue evolution but the situation since 2006 demonstrates the contrary.

    Abstract Beginning with November 2016 beekeepers from Timiș county reported bee colonies losses. During the winter months the situation became more the situation has become more severe, increasing losses of bee families. From November 2016, untill February 2017 were been received samples of dead bees from 23 different apiaries in Timiș county. The dead honey bees were analized in the way to discover what kind of causes produced all these losses. Was also proceeded to analyze the bacterial flora from bees intestine. Bacteriological examination of bees intestine and the cultivation on special medium of culture emphasized rich cultures of Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae (Bacillus larvae), etiologic agent for American foulbrood. These bacteria were been isolated from bee intestine in samples provided from 18 apiaries (78.26%). There are many causes of high degree of bee mortality in winter 2016-2017 but the isolation of Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae maybe was one of them.

    Abstract It is important to know that the intestinal flora of most organisms play a decisive role in nutrient assimilation or diseases defending action and honeybees are not an exception. The importance and composition of the intestinal micro-flora define the health and growth of honeybees. For this study were been collected as far as 10 honeybee workers from each area, from three different areas: Brasov county, near Perşani mountains, Timiş county, from plane area and Arad county. from hillside area, from beekeepers, both in June and December. First was been detected the total number of bacteria contained in honeybees intestine samples through dilution method. The largest number of countered bacteria colonies was obtained from Timiş county (2946 colonies/milliliter) in December. The smallest number of countered bacteria colonies was obtained in Braşov county (527 colonies/milliliter) in June. After the growing colonies of bacteria from studied samples on special mediums of culture have been detected many species, Gram-positive including Bacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., and Gram-negative including Escherichia spp., Proteus, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas. Also have been detected Lactobacillus strains.
