Classical swine fever (CSF) marker vaccine. Trial II. Challenge study in pregnant sows.
reactions in some sows, no reactions post vaccination were noticed in either vaccine group. Sows vaccinated with Vaccine A were better protected against clinical CSF than sows vaccinated with Vaccine B. The ...
A PCR test to identify bacillus subtilis and closely related species and its application to the monitoring of wastewater biotreatment.
gene was set up that could identify any of the five species of the ‘Bacillus subtilis group’ (B. subtilis, B. pumilus, B. atrophaeus, B. lichenijormis and B. amyloliquefaciens). The test was directly ...
First evidence of Johne's disease in farmed red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Belgium.
serological results, three positive CCT and eight positive LT were observed in hinds and stags older than 2 years. No positive serological results were observed in the yearling group, whereas some sensitisation ...
Enhanced specific antibody response to bovine serum albumin in pigeons due to L-carnitine supplementation.
female pigeons (Columba livia domestica) were randomly divided into 3 equal groups; the 1st and 2nd groups were immunised with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at 0 and 20 d, the 2nd group also received ...
The VP2 variable region of African and German isolates of infectious bursal disease virus: comparison with very virulent, "classical" virulent, and attenuated tissue culture-adapted strains.
phylogenetic analysis confirm that these strains can be grouped within vv IBDV strains which appeared at the same time on the three continents Africa, Asia, and Europe. Strain Cu-1wt, responsible for severe IBD ...
Prevalence of bovine herpesvirus-1 in the Belgian cattle population.
vaccinated continuously against BHV-1. In the unvaccinated group, the overall herd, individual-animal and median within-herd seroprevalences were estimated to be 67% (95% confidence interval (CI)=62-72), 35.9% ...
Dietary L-carnitine supplementation increases antigen-specific immunoglobulin G production in broiler chickens.
L-carnitine (100 mg carnitine/kg added to feed). At 14 d of age, both groups were distributed in equal numbers and sex ratios over two environmentally controlled chambers where temperature (28 degrees) was ...
Effects of inhalation of dust and endotoxin on respiratory tracts of pigs.
fluids were increased in all groups exposed to dust. Macrophage counts were increased in pigs exposed to inhalable dust concentrations as low as 4.4 mg/m3, and lymphocyte counts were increased in groups ...
Phylogenetic analysis of European encephalomyocarditis viruses: comparison of two genomic regions.
virus genome, the VP3 / VP1 gene junction (part of the capsid-coding region) and part of the 3D polymerase-coding region. Thirty-five European EMC viruses could be divided into two genetic groups, one ...
Highly sensitive detection of swine vesicular disease virus based on a single tube RT-PCR system and DIG-ELISA detection.
concentrated using an ultrafiltration system and RNA extracted with the Purescript kit. The specificity of the test was validated on 27 SVDV strains belonging to four different groups. No cross-reactivity with ...
