Casos e Focos de Raiva e Brucelose em Bovinos (Bos taurus) registrados em Roraima no Período 2008-2016. A brucelose e raiva constituem duas zoonoses que podem acarretar impacto negativo tanto na saúde pública, quando na saúde animal. O estado de Roraima possui um forte potencial de produção agropecuária que pode ter prejuízos principalmente na bovinocultura advindo das infecções pela Brucella abortus e pelo Vírus Rábico. Este estudo analisou a presença de anticorpos anti-Brucella abortus e de anticorpos anti-Vírus Rábico na espécie bovina (Bos taurus) entre os anos de 2008-2016 no estado de Roraima, por meio da consulta de casos e focos em banco de dados do Sistema Nacional de Informação Zoosanitária do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento. O presente estudo teve como objetivo elencar informações epidemiológicas acerca do número de casos e focos em bovinos no estado de Roraima, de modo que se propiciem a adoção e conscientização de medidas preventivas que reduzam o impacto negativo destas zoonoses. Foi observada redução gradual da quantidade de casos e focos de brucelose em bovinos no estado no período analisado passando de 241 casos no ano de 2012 para 8 casos no ano de 2016.

<p>La resistencia natural a la brucelosis en bovinos ha sido asociada a factores genéticos, principalmente a algunos polimorfismos de nucleótido simple ubicados dentro del gen Nramp1. La presente investigación evalúa el efecto de variantes tipo polimorfismos de nucleótido simple presentes en regiones codificantes y en la región 3’UTR del gen Nramp1, en la clasificación de los animales como resistentes o susceptibles; además se determinan los genotipos predominantes en animales naturalmente infectados y comprobados como positivos por la presencia de anticuerpos anti <em>Brucella abortus</em>. Se establecieron las frecuencias genotípicas y alélicas para cinco polimorfismos de nucleótido simple identificados dentro del gen Nramp1 en animales de las razas blanco orejinegro (<em>Bos taurus taurus</em>) y cebú (<em>Bos taurus indicus</em>) y en muestras serológicamente positivas provenientes de animales cruzados (<em>Bos taurus </em>x <em>Bos indicus</em>). La determinación de genotipos se realizó mediante la metodología polimorfismo conformacional de cadena sencilla. Se realizó un ensayo de desafío infeccioso in vitro, para estimar la capacidad de los macrófagos bovinos para controlar la sobrevivencia bacterial, lo que permitió definir los individuos como resistentes o susceptibles. Los resultados sugieren una asociación significativa del SNP4 (<em>p </em>= 0,0506) con la variación para el fenotipo de susceptibilidad, pues se encontró el genotipo homocigoto (BB) en alta frecuencia en animales catalogados como resistentes y el genotipo heterocigoto (AB) en alta frecuencia en animales catalogados como susceptibles y en animales con títulos de anticuerpos anti <em>Brucella abortus</em>.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Allelic frequencies for SNP variants in the gene Nramp1 in bovine infected with </strong><strong><em>Brucella abortus </em></strong><strong>or classified by resistance to the pathogen</strong>  </p><p>The natural resistance to brucellosis in cattle has been associated to genetic factors mainly to some single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), located within Nramp1 gen. The current research has studied the effect of nucleotide variants to be found in coding regions and other one located in 3 non translated region of Nramp1 gene, on the animal classification as resistant or susceptible, moreover was identified the main genotypes to be found on the infected animals, confirmed as positives by antibody antibrucella titles. Was established the genotypic and allelic frequencies for five single nucleotide polymorphism in animals from blanco orejinegro (<em>Bos taurus taurus</em>) and zebu breeds (<em>Bos taurus indicus</em>) and serum samples belonging to positive crossbred animals (<em>Bos taurus x Bos indicus</em>). The genotype was defined by the methodology known as “single strand conformational polymorphism”. To estimate the macrophage capacity to control the bacterial survival, an in vitro assay was performed, which allowed define the phenotype as resistant or susceptible. The results suggest a significant association for SNP4 (p = 0.0506) with the phenotypic variation for resistant or susceptibility, because was found the genotype (BB) at higher frequency in susceptible animals and naturally infected animals, than those resistant animals. </p>

ABSTRACT Previous studies have suggested that currently available brucellosis vaccines induce poor or no protection in elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni). In this study, we characterized the immunologic responses of elk after initial or booster vaccination with Brucella abortus strains RB51 (SRB51) and 19 (S19). Elk were vaccinated with saline or 1010 CFU of SRB51 or S19 (n = seven animals/treatment) and booster vaccinated with a similar dosage of the autologous vaccine at 65 weeks. Compared to nonvaccinates, elk vaccinated with SRB51 or S19 had greater (P < 0.05) antibody responses to SRB51 or S19 after initial vaccination and after booster vaccination. Compared to nonvaccinated elk, greater (P < 0.05) proliferative responses to autologous antigen after initial vaccination occurred at only a few sample times in SRB51 (6, 14, and 22 weeks) and S19 (22 weeks) treatment groups. In general, proliferative responses of vaccinates to nonautologous antigens did not differ (P > 0.05) from the responses of nonvaccinated elk. Gamma interferon production in response to autologous or nonautologous Brucella antigens did not differ (P > 0.05) between controls and vaccinates after booster vaccination. Flow cytometric techniques suggested that proliferation occurred more frequently in immunoglobulin M-positive cells, with differences between vaccination and control treatments in CD4+ and CD8+ subset proliferation detected only at 22 weeks after initial vaccination. After booster vaccination, one technique ([3H]thymidine incorporation) suggested that proliferative responses to SRB51 antigen, but not S19 antigen, were greater (P < 0.05) in vaccinates compared to the responses of nonvaccinates. However, in general, flow cytometric and other techniques failed to detect significant anamnestic responses to autologous or nonautologous Brucella antigens in S19 or SRB51 vaccinates after booster vaccination. Although some cellular immune responses were detected after initial or booster vaccination of elk with SRB51 or S19, our data suggest that responses tend to be transient and much less robust than previously reported in SRB51-vaccinated cattle (Bos taurus) or bison (Bison bison). These data may explain why the vaccination of elk with S19 and SRB51 induces poor protection against brucellosis.

Bovine brucellosis, typically caused by Brucella abortus , has been eradicated from much of the developed world. However, the disease remains prevalent in southern Italy, persisting as a public and livestock health concern. We report here the whole-genome sequences of 11 isolates from cattle ( Bos taurus ) and water buffalo ( Bubalus bubalis ) that are representative of the current genetic diversity of B. abortus lineages circulating in Italy.
