    Subclinical mastitis is an asymptomatic udder infection distributed worldwide with enormous losses in the dairy industry. The study’s objective was to determine the presence of this pathological condition in small dairy farms in the R. of N. Macedonia and to identify the most common associated bacteria. Milk samples were obtained from 96 dairy cows (378 udder quarters) in seven dairy farms, in 3 consecutive samplings 24-72 hours apart. The samples were cultured on routine bacteriological growth media and incubated for 24-48 hours. The isolates were identified by AximaiD Plus MALDITOF MS Platform. Subclinical mastitis was found in 49 animals (51%) and 104 infected quarters (27%). The most frequent isolated bacteria on cow level were Streptococcus uberis (19.4%), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (13.4%), Staphylococcus aureus (7.4%) and Staphylococcu ssimulans (7.4%). On quarter level, the most isolated pathogen was Streptococcus uberis (35.6%) followed by Staphylococcu shaemolyticus and Staphylococcus aureus (10.3% and 9.2% respectively). Subclinical mastitis was found to be highly present in the selected small dairy farms. The most prevalent bacteria identified in the dairy farms (Streptococcus uberis, Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase–negative staphylococci) indicate that poor management and udder health practices, inadequate milking procedures and lack of mastitis control strategies greatly contribute to occurrence and persistence of subclinical mastitis.

    Rabies, a worldwide zoonosis, remains a public-health concern despite oral wildlife vaccination in Europe. After a ten-year break, Macedonia reported eight rabies cases in 2011-2012. Two countries (Serbia and Bulgaria) bordering Macedonia are reporting cases in domestic and wild animals. This report describes the genetic characterisation of eight isolates from Macedonia compared with representative samples from neighbouring countries. All of the isolates tested belong to the Eastern European group, with a high degree of nucleotide sequence identity in the nucleoprotein gene. The close genetic relationship between isolates from the three bordering countries suggests that wildlife is responsible for rabies movements in the region.

    Introduction: Preliminary testing of commercial flocks using molecular and phylogenetic analysis revealed presence of genotypes QX and 4/91 in poultry farms with clinical signs and in poultry farms without clinical signs. Poultry farms are performing different vaccination programs without the knowledge of the genotype of the circulating strains. The purpose of this study was to detect presence of IBV in commercial flocks in Macedonia by molecular methods and to genotype the detected strains thus to establish a map of circulating genotypes in the country. Methods: Molecular survey was performed in 35 poultry farms representative for the whole territory of the country without clinical signs at different production age as part of active surveillance for avian influenza. From each farm 30 cloacal swabs were taken totalling 1050 samples. Samples were pooled by five in the laboratory. Additionally, samples (oropharyngeal swabs, affected organs) were taken from 15 farms with clinically signs (respiratory signs, drop in egg production, altered eqq quality) and post-mortem (respiratory, ovary and kidney lesions) findings associated to IBV. A real-time RT-PCR was performed targeting UTR region on all samples. A two-step nested RT-PCR was performed on all positive samples with primers targeting the S1 gene. Genotyping and subsequent phylogenetic analysis was performed by partial sequencing of the S1 gene region. Results: Results of the present study revealed presence of following genotypes of IBV’s circulating in commercial poultry in Macedonia: 4/91, Italy-02, QX, Mass, D274. This is first report of detection of Italy-02 in Macedonia. Conclusions: Establishing a map of circulating IBV genotypes will help towards better optimisation of vaccination protocol of poultry farms and will contribute towards better understanding of epidemiological situation on a country and regional level.
