Evaluation of an interferon-gamma release assay for early detection of lumpy skin disease virus infection and vaccination in cattle.
Abstract: Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) causes a nodular dermatitis in cattle and has high economic consequences in affected areas. Detection of LSDV exposure mostly relies on the humoral immune response, ...
Differential infection behavior of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype I and II in the upper respiratory tract.
different areas in the nasal mucosa, including epithelial cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. Using porcine respiratory epithelial cells (PoRECs), isolated from nasal tissue, we found a difference in ...
Lumpy Skin Disease: A Systematic Review of Mode of Transmission, Risk of Emergence and Risk Entry Pathway.
East Asia, has highlighted the threat of emergence in new areas or re-emergence in countries that achieved eradication. This review aimed to identify studies on LSD epidemiology. A focus was made on ...
Epidemiological Dynamics of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the Horn of Africa: The Role of Virus Diversity and Animal Movement.
Africa is a large area of arid and semi-arid land, holding about 10% of the global and 40% of the entire African livestock population. The region’s livestock production system is mainly extensive and ...
Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Prevalence in Sheep, Wild Boar and Ticks in Belgium.
(22.38%, 1⅚7) compared to Limburg (7.74%, 34/439) and Antwerp (8.61%, 28/325). Oud-Heverlee was the hunting area harboring the highest TBEV seroprevalence (33.33%, 1⅓3). In an attempt to obtain a Belgian ...
[Foot and mouth disease virus: transmission, pathogenesis, diagnosis and surveillance].
regions, but also when incursions occur into FMD free areas, as in Europe in 2001. FMDV is historically one of the most studied viruses. Due to its high genetic and antigenic variability, the absence of ...
Reliability of Morphological and PCR Methods for the Official Diagnosis of Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): A European Inter-Laboratory Comparison.
Hive Beetle (Murray, 1867) is an invasive scavenger of honeybees. Originally endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, it is regulated internationally in order to preserve the areas still free from this species. To ...
Selection and use of reference panels: a case study highlighting current gaps in the materials available for foot and mouth disease.
comparative purposes and the calibration of test results across different laboratories. Using foot and mouth disease (FMD) as an example, this review highlights four specific areas where new reference reagents ...
Assessment of the control measures of the category A diseases of Animal Health Law: sheep and goat pox
(95% CI: 9.8–26.8). This may increase the number of farms in thesurveillance zone, since the area would increase fourfold. Health Topics: Animal health Santé animale Diergezondheid Service: Exotic and ...
Selection and use of reference panels: a case study highlighting current gaps in the materials available for foot and mouth disease
an example, this review highlights four specific areas where new reference reagents are required. These are to: reduce bias in estimates of the diagnostic sensitivity and inter-serotypic specificity of ...
