Validation of two real-time RT-PCR methods for foot-and-mouth disease diagnosis: RNA-extraction, matrix effect, uncertainty of measurement and precision.
a useful tool to evaluate the probability of making a wrong decision. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS Classification: 4.03 Veterinary science ...
Trace elements in home-produced eggs in Belgium: levels and spatiotemporal distribution.
evaluate the levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead, copper and zinc in home-produced eggs, soils and kitchen waste samples of private chicken owners in Belgium, and to determine spatiotemporal differences in ...
Transfer of soil contaminants to home-produced eggs and preventive measures to reduce contamination.
contamination levels, were formulated and their feasibility evaluated through interviews with private chicken owners. The results show that a paved surface inside the henhouse, an indoor feeding place and ...
Humoral, cell-mediated and mucosal immunity induced by oculo-nasal vaccination of one-day-old SPF and conventional layer chicks with two different live Newcastle disease vaccines.
immunity was evaluated after oculo-nasal vaccination of day-old chickens. The preferential replication sites for each vaccine strain were investigated by screening different tissues using quantitative ...
NUSAP method for evaluating the data quality in a quantitative microbial risk assessment model for Salmonella in the pork production chain.
assessment pedigree (NUSAP) system was implemented to evaluate the quality of input parameters in a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model for Salmonella spp. in minced pork meat. The input ...
Prime-boost vaccination with a fowlpox vector and an inactivated avian influenza vaccine is highly immunogenic in Pekin ducks challenged with Asian H5N1 HPAI.
evaluated in 17-day-old Pekin ducks using an experimental inactivated whole virus vaccine based on the H5N9 A/chicken/Italy/22A/98 isolate (H5N9-It) and/or a fowlpox recombinant (vFP- H5) expressing ...
A Bayesian evaluation of six diagnostic tests for foot-and-mouth disease for vaccinated and non-vaccinated cattle.
disease (FMD) to discriminate between sero-converted (for non-structural FMD virus proteins) and non-sero-converted cattle were evaluated for vaccinated and unvaccinated cattle. Since none of the tests ...
Application of a Commercial Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever: Evaluation by Testing Sequential Tissue and Blood Samples
surveillance of classical swine fever (CSF) was evaluated in an experimental setup on a group of 28 pigs infected with a moderately virulent classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain of wild boar origin (‘11722- ...
Evaluation of the Premi Test Salmonella, a commercial low-density DNA microarray system intended for routine identification and typing of Salmonella enterica.
Specificity Abstract: A new commercial system based on genetic profiling and aimed at identifying Salmonella enterica serovars was evaluated by comparing its performance with classical serotyping on 443 ...
Validation of two commercial real-time RT-PCR kits for rapid and specific diagnosis of classical swine fever virus.
laboratories. The two kits were also tested for the use in mass diagnostics and the results proved the kits to be suited using pools of blood, serum and tonsils. Moreover, a field evaluation, carried out on ...
