Evaluation of an interferon-gamma release assay for early detection of lumpy skin disease virus infection and vaccination in cattle.
LAV was detectable in all animals from 10 days post-vaccination, and importantly, preceded the detection of antibodies. A uniform CMI response to infection was already detected at its plateau level at ...
Targeted Whole Genome Sequencing of the Capripoxvirus Genome from Clinical Tissue Samples and Lyophilized Vaccine Batches.
of tiled amplicons. The resulting amplicons can be sequenced on all currently available high-throughput sequencing platforms. As an example, we have included a detailed protocol for performing nanopore ...
Seroprevalence of Japanese encephalitis virus in pig populations of Tamil Nadu, India: Exploring the tropical endemic link of virus
was 94.1% (95% CI: 88.1% — 97.5%) and the true seroprevalence was 93.3% (95% CI: 89.5% — 96.2%). The intensity of JEV circulation was high in all the districts, with seroprevalence ranging between 43% ...
PRRSV-Vaccinated, Seronegative Sows and Maternally Derived Antibodies (II): Impact on PRRSV-1 Vaccine Effectiveness and Challenge Outcomes in Piglets.
performed at weaning at three weeks of age, and all study piglets were challenged with a high dose of the PRRSV-1 07V063 strain at 6 weeks of age. A clear interference of MDA s was observed in the E+ piglets: ...
Attributing Ethiopian animal health losses to high-level causes using expert elicitation
estimated to be due to infectious causes in all categories. This study provides a rapid, simple, and engaging method to attribute the burden of animal health loss at a high-level. Results are informative, ...
Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Prevalence in Sheep, Wild Boar and Ticks in Belgium.
lacking, and no studies have assessed its seroprevalence in sheep. Serum samples of 480 sheep from all over Belgium and 831 wild boar hunted in Flanders (northern Belgium) were therefore screened for TBEV ...
Identification of diffusion routes of O/EA-3 topotype of foot-and-mouth disease virus in Africa and Western Asia between 1974 and 2019- a phylogeographic analysis.
phylodynamics of the causative serotype O viral strains all belonging to the East-Africa 3 topotype (O/ EA-3). We analyzed a total of 489 sequences encoding the FMDV VP1 genome region generated from samples ...
Reliability of Morphological and PCR Methods for the Official Diagnosis of Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): A European Inter-Laboratory Comparison.
Sensitivity was satisfactory for all the participants and both types of methods, thus fully meeting the diagnostic challenge of confirming all truly positive cases as positive. Two participants encountered ...
Species-Specific Humoral Immune Responses in Sheep and Goats upon Small Ruminant Lentivirus Infections Inversely Correlate with Protection against Virus Replication and Pathological Lesions.
showed that almost all homologous (genotype A in sheep; genotype B in goats) and heterologous (genotype A in goats; genotype B in sheep) intratracheal inoculations resulted in productive infection. No ...
Detection of Clinical and Subclinical Lumpy Skin Disease Using Ear Notch Testing and Skin Biopsies.
of subclinical animals, while ear notches and biopsies were positive for LSD viral DNA in all subclinically infected animals by 16 days post infection. In conclusion, ear notches could be used for ...
