Towards a typing strategy for Arcobacter species isolated from humans and animals and assessment of the in vitro genomic stability.
species. With a limited number of isolates to be characterized, PFGE with restriction by KpnI is proposed as the first method of choice. However, ERIC- PCR represents a more convenient genomic fingerprinting ...
Effect of a DIVA vaccine with and without in-feed use of coated calcium-butyrate on transmission of Salmonella Typhimurium in pigs.
vaccinated pigs. CONCLUSIONS: Both interventions showed a limited, non-significant reduction of Salmonella transmission between piglets. They may have applications towards Salmonella control and surveillance. ...
Development, validation and evaluation of added diagnostic value of a q(RT)-PCR for the detection of genotype A strains of small ruminant lentiviruses.
circulating in Belgium. The developed q(RT)- PCR targets a region of the gag gene and showed to be highly sensitive and specific with a limit of detection of 6 DNA and 40 RNA copies/reaction respectively. SRLV ...
Effect of saliva stabilisers on detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in oral fluid by quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR.
presence of PRRSV RNA by qRT- PCR. PRRSV RNA could be detected in oral fluid using all extraction-amplification combinations, but the limit of detection varied amongst different combinations. Storage ...
Experimental infection of Carrion crows (Corvus corone) with two European West Nile virus (WNV) strains.
so far isolated despite limited WN disease reports in wild birds. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS Classification: 4.03 Veterinary science ...
Importance of identification and typing of Brucellae from West African cattle: a review.
international classification methods with no time limit and no language restrictions. Studies reporting results of identification at genus level only were not considered for this review. This review revealed that ...
Influence of isolation methods on the occurrence of plasmid-carrying Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 in slaughter pig tonsils, faeces and carcass surface swabs.
carcass samples were contaminated below the detection limit of enumeration. The relative sensitivity of the methods to recover pathogenic Y. enterocolitica varied among the different matrices. Nevertheless, ...
Intra-host variation structure of classical swine fever virus NS5B in relation to antiviral therapy.
antivirals, in respect to antiviral treatment. Using the non-unique nucleotide changes, a limited intra-host variation was found in the wild type virus with 2 silent and 2 non-synonymous sites. This number ...
Efficacy of chimeric Pestivirus vaccine candidates against classical swine fever: protection and DIVA characteristics.
with C-strain, CP7_E2alf and Flc11. Limited transmission occurred in the groups vaccinated with Flc9. All vaccine candidates would be suitable to stop on-going transmission of CSFV. For Flc11, no ...
Potential impact of fertilization practices on human dietary intake of dioxins in Belgium.
Spraying liquid fertilizers on meadows and fodder crops, even if very limited in practice, deserves much more attention because this application method could theoretically lead to higher dioxin’s intake by ...
