Dear Readers,
I am pleased to share with you the edition n. 38/2023 of the National Veterinary Epidemiological Bulletin.
The Publications section opens with a careful examination of the emerging worldwide warning of antifungal resistance, by Dr Maria Rosaria Capone, who highlights how the exponential growth of resistant fungal strains represents a significant threat to the management of infections, putting treatment effectiveness at risk and raising serious health concerns worldwide. Addressing this challenge requires a coordinated international effort to develop innovative and sustainable strategies in the management of fungal infections.
In the second article on the epizootic haemorrhagic disease, a year later, Dr Marta Cresci offers an in-depth analysis of the epidemiological trend of the pathology in Europe and some Mediterranean countries in the last few years. She highlights that this disease, identified for the first time in Europe towards the end of 2022, not only has crucial implications for animal health, but it is also of significant economic importance, with potential great impacts on resource management and trade economics connected to the sector.
In the Data and Maps section, it is possible to generate updated and detailed maps, based on your needs, on the distribution of the main animal diseases notified in SIMAN in the period of interest.
In the Free territories section, the provinces and regions free of infections with Brucella abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis in bovine and ovi-caprine populations and infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M. bovis, M. caprae and M. tuberculosis) have been updated in accordance with Community legislation 1071 of 1 June 2023.
The News section publishes scientific news related to the period 2023 and all those of previous years (2011-2022).
In the Submit your article section, which can be consulted via the Discover online services drop-down menu, it is possible to consult the guidelines for authors and send articles and short news to the BENV editorial staff.
