Development and validation of three Capripoxvirus real-time PCRs for parallel testing.
potential to cause outbreaks with a severe socio-economic impact. The latter, combined with an altered virus dissemination pattern, warrants its status as an important emerging disease. Disease control or ...
Trends in genotype frequency resulting from breeding for resistance to classical scrapie in Belgium (2006 ˜ 2011).
(n = 6,437), the ARQ haplotype diminished from 21.1% to 12.9%, and the VRQ haplotype decreased from 2.0% to 1.7%. The status of codon 141, a determinant for atypical scrapie, was also evaluated. Out of ...
Large-scale cross-sectional serological survey of Schmallenberg virus in Belgian cattle at the end of the first vector season.
Correlation Coefficient of 0.3 (P < 0.001) was found, indicating that the correlation between two animals within a herd with respect to their serological status was high. Those results corroborate the ...
Evaluation of two different swab transport systems in the detection of avian influenza virus excretion from infected Pekin ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).
infection status of individual birds was correctly determined. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS Classification: 4.03 Veterinary science ...
Characteristics of serology-based vaccine potency models for foot-and-mouth disease virus.
differences were observed between the laboratories and the serological assays used, the logistic models accurately predicted the in vivo protection status of the animals in 74-93% of the cases and the antibody ...
Sero-epidemiological study of the presence of hantaviruses in domestic dogs and cats from Belgium.
of the owner’s address as well as pet gender and age on hantavirus status. Hantavirus antibodies were found in both species with a significantly higher seroprevalence in cats than in dogs (16.9% vs. ...
Cattle, sheep and pigs vaccinated against foot and mouth disease: does trade in these animals and their products present a risk of transmitting the disease?
and mouth disease (FMD) status of a country or region has a profound bearing on access to export markets for live animals and animal products. In countries without FMD-free status, and in accordance ...
Sampling strategy, occurrence and diversity of free-living protozoa in domestic refrigerators.
(Tubulinea). The FLP-positive status of refrigerator surfaces was correlated with a high aerobic plate count. CONCLUSIONS: The cotton wool sampling method is useful to sample FLP from plastic surfaces. FLP are ...
The role of the legal and illegal trade of live birds and avian products in the spread of avian influenza.
Eggs Global Health Influenza A Virus, H5N1 Subtype Influenza in Birds Nigeria Risk Factors United Kingdom Abstract: The panzootic of the H5N1 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has become an ...
Transplacental infection and apparently immunotolerance induced by a wild-type bluetongue virus serotype 8 natural infection.
real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) result of pregnant dams gives no indication of the infection status of the offspring except in the case of a double negative result. In a group of 109 calves with clinical suspicion of ...
