Veal Calves Produce Less Antibodies against C. Perfringens Alpha Toxin Compared to Beef Calves.
perfringolysin. The control group only received milk replacer, whereas in the test group solid feed was provided. Maternal antibodies for alpha toxin were present in 45% of the veal calves and 66% of the beef ...
Whole genome protein microarrays for serum profiling of immunodominant antigens of Bacillus anthracis.
genome protein microarray has been used to identify immunogenic Anthrax proteins (IAP) using sera from groups of donors with (a) confirmed B. anthracis naturally acquired cutaneous infection, (b) confirmed ...
Experimental Infection of Sheep at 45 and 60 Days of Gestation with Schmallenberg Virus Readily Led to Placental Colonization without Causing Congenital Malformations.
Therefore, we implemented an experimental infection of ewes, inoculated with SBV at 45 or 60 days of gestation (dg). METHODOLOGY: “Mourerous” breed ewes were randomly separated in three groups: eight and nine ...
Role of wildlife and domestic pigs as reservoirs for hepatitis E virus (HEV): study of the infection in suids and cervids and of the susceptibility of pigs to HEV originating from wild boa
divided in two groups. Group 1 included three piglets (A, B and C) inoculated with a wild boar HEV strain (WbHEV). Group 2, representing a negative control, was composed of two piglets (D and E) inoculated ...
Evaluation of a hierarchical ascendant clustering process implemented in a veterinary syndromic surveillance system.
detection of aberrations in health indicators before laboratory confirmation. “MoSS-Emergences 2” (MoSS- E2), a tool for veterinary syndromic surveillance, aggregates groups of similar clinical observations ...
Prediction of respiratory disease and diarrhea in veal calves based on immunoglobulin levels and the serostatus for respiratory pathogens measured at arrival.
was judged to be too high to further postpone a group treatment. A Cox regression model was used to determine the effect of the studied protein fractions and antibodies on the time to BRD and NCD ...
Extensive genetic variability linked to IS26 insertions in the fljB promoter region of atypical monophasic variants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
IS26 composite transposon insertion along with a local genomic rearrangement. Several other IS26 element-mediated alterations of this genomic region were observed. This group of monophasic Salmonella ...
Evaluation of adaptive immune responses and heterologous protection induced by inactivated bluetongue virus vaccines.
vaccines would help protect against 2 serotypes. Thirty-seven sheep were randomly allocated to 7 groups of 5 or 6 animals. Four groups were vaccinated with commercial vaccines against BTV strains 2, 4, and ...
Comparing responses to different selenium sources and dosages in laying hens.
variables was investigated. Ten treatments were used with 18 laying hens per group. In addition to the control diet, the control diet was supplemented with L-selenomethionine, Se-enriched yeast, or sodium ...
Co-occurrence of free-living protozoa and foodborne pathogens on dishcloths: implications for food safety.
Bodo, the glissomonads and cercomonads. The total number of FLP in used dishcloths ranged from 10 to 10(4) MPN /cm(2). Flagellates were the most abundant group, and ciliates the least abundant. Detergent ...
