During 2020 SESC has managed a total of 140 queries. Of these, 10 were solely telematic and the remaining 130 requests included samples for laboratorial analysis.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During 2020, 22 posts have been published in this blog in Catalan, Spanish and English. Of these, 10 corresponded to\u00a0diagnostic challenges<\/a>. We had a total of\u00a0175.935<\/strong>\u00a0visits.<\/p>\n

Here is a summary of this year\u2019s data. We\u2019d like, once again, to thank the collaboration and effort of the\u00a0pathologists and animal health experts<\/a>\u00a0from IRTA-CReSA, the SDPV and the Veterinary School of the UAB as well as the staff of the Public Health Agency of Catalonia ( ASPCAT)<\/a>, especially to the official veterinary inspectors who with their contributions make possible the success of this page and this service.<\/p>\n

Evolution of the number of queries to SESC. The number of queries has decreased very slightly (10 less than the previous year) despite the restrictions caused by the COVID19 pandemic.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Distribution by species of inquiries received at SESC. The cattle sector, once again, is the one that provides more samples, especially for the confirmation of diagnosis of zoonoses such as tuberculosis and bovine cysticercosis<\/strong>. As in previous years, consultations from poultry, rabbit and horse slaughterhouses are minimal.<\/p><\/div>\n

As in previous years it’s time to take a look at the\u00a0 granuloma counter<\/strong> since passive surveillance at the slaughterhouse is an essential element in the control of animal tuberculosis<\/strong>. In 2020 SESC has managed a total of 43 consultations that include 56 animals with lesions compatible with tuberculosis of different species. Out of these, 5 have been confirmed with mycobacteria of the of the M. tuberculosis<\/em> complex, one as M.avium<\/em>, one with compatible lesions but not confirmed and two pending culture results. As a summary, 16% (7\/43) of the suspect cases were tuberculous granulomes. This fact must be positively analised, reflecting that the incidence of tuberculosis in Catalonia is very low and that the subsmisson of non-tuberculous granulomas has increased.<\/p>\n

*** In all cases, animals were isolated cases with ASF\/CSF compatible hemorrhagic diathesis lesions but did not constitute serious suspicion, the infection was ruled out by molecular diagnosis (PCR) and histopathological study.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
