Phylogeography of Human and Animal Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium.
samples. genotyping (WGS) further identified the spacer types and the genomic groups of Belgian strains: cattle and goat SNP2 / MLVA A isolates belonged to ST61 and genomic group III, while the goat SNP1 ...
Phylogenetic Analysis of Belgian Small Ruminant Lentiviruses Supports Cross Species Virus Transmission and Identifies New Subtype B5 Strains.
(SRLV) are a group of highly divergent viruses responsible for global and fatal infections in sheep and goats. Since the current phylogenetic classification of these viruses was proposed in 2004, it ...
A liquid bead array for the identification and characterization of fljB-positive and fljB-negative monophasic variants of Salmonella Typhimurium.
the various mono- and biphasic Salmonella Typhimurium clonal groups can facilitate their epidemiological follow-up. Here, we present a home-made liquid bead array able to fulfill these requirements. ...
Seroprevalence and risk factors related to small ruminant lentivirus infections in Belgian sheep and goats.
Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) and caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) are two prototype members of the group of small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV s). Both result in progressive and persistent infections of ...
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?
however indicate that a role of vertical virus transmission in the ruminant host currently cannot be excluded as an overwintering mechanism. More studies on Culicoides biology and specific groups of ...
Susceptibility of Pigs to Zoonotic Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 3 Isolated from a Wild Boar.
a swine HEV strain after oral inoculation. Firstly, an intravenous infection was performed for which five piglets were divided into two groups with three pigs inoculated with a WbHEV field strain and two ...
Three Different Routes of Inoculation for Experimental Infection with Schmallenberg Virus in Sheep.
Sheep Sheep Diseases Spleen Vaccination Abstract: Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is an emerging Orthobunyavirus affecting European domestic ruminants. In this study, three groups of ewes (n = 3) were ...
Schmallenberg Virus in Belgium: Estimation of Impact in Cattle and Sheep Herds.
