Quantitative decision making in animal health surveillance: Bovine Tuberculosis Surveillance in Belgium as case study.
inadequate to detect some herds affected by sporadic breakdowns. The aim of this study was to assess different surveillance system components that strike a balance between cost and effectiveness and to ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
2 weeks after receipt of the sample, which was freshly prepared tartar sauce in a meal cooked at the school. Our team used this outbreak as a case study to deliver a proof of concept for a short-read ...
Case Report: Multidrug Resistant Raoultella ornithinolytica in a Septicemic Calf
