Identification of fungal isolates by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in veterinary practice: validation of a web application.
Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Veterinary Medicine yeasts Abstract: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI- TOF MS) has emerged as ...
Longitudinal monitoring of Culicoides in Belgium between 2007 and 2011: local variation in population dynamics parameters warrant cautious use of monitoring data.
of collection sites for Culicoides monitoring, even in a small country such as Belgium, strongly influences abundance parameters and that yearly variation in seasonality occurs. This emphasizes that ...
Welfare-Adjusted Life Years (WALY): A novel metric of animal welfare that combines the impacts of impaired welfare and abbreviated lifespan.
the Disability-Adjusted Life Year approach used in human health audits, we propose WALY as the sum of a) the years lived with impaired welfare due to a particular cause and b) the years of life lost due ...
Comparative genomics of quinolone-resistant and susceptible Campylobacter jejuni of poultry origin from major poultry producing European countries (GENCAMP)
different phylogenetic methods, ranging from single nucleotide polymorphisms analysis to gene-by-gene approaches such as rMLST, cgMLST, wgMLST and core genome tree, provided concordant results, but it is not ...
Development and validation of a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR method for the differentiation of wild type lumpy skin disease virus from vaccine virus strains.
(LSD) is a transboundary viral disease of cattle with severe economic impact. Immunization of cattle with homologous live attenuated vaccines poses a number of diagnostic problems, as it has been ...
Akabane, Aino and Schmallenberg virus-where do we stand and what do we know about the role of domestic ruminant hosts and Culicoides vectors in virus transmission and overwintering?
wind-borne reintroductions of infected midges from tropical endemic regions with year-round vector activity have been proposed, just as overwintering in long-lived adult midges. Experimental and field data ...
Resurgence of Schmallenberg Virus in Belgium after 3 Years of Epidemiological Silence.
with calving, as more bovine foetuses might have been infected. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS Classification: 4.03 Veterinary science ...
Improved Metrological Traceability of Particle Size Values Measured with Line-Start Incremental Centrifugal Liquid Sedimentation.
reference particles. To use these calibrant particles for establishing metrological traceability, they must fulfill the same requirements as those imposed on a certified reference material, i.e., their ...
Selection and transfer of an IncI1-tet(A) plasmid of Escherichia coli in an ex vivo model of the porcine caecum at doxycycline concentrations caused by crosscontaminated feed.
for DOX-resistant E. coli, and promote the selection of transconjugants in a porcine caecum model. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Cross-contamination of feed with antimicrobials such as DOX ...
Laboratory validation of two real-time RT-PCR methods with 5'-tailed primers for an enhanced detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus.
purposes, both assays were run in parallel in a triplex one-step RT-qPCR protocol with beta-actin as an internal control and synthetic RNA as an external control. We obtained low limits of detection and high ...
