Reliability of Morphological and PCR Methods for the Official Diagnosis of Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): A European Inter-Laboratory Comparison.
Reference Laboratories in Europe participated in the study and analysed 12 samples with adult coleopterans and insect larvae. The performance of the laboratories was evaluated in terms of sensitivity and ...
Seroprevalence and risk factors related to small ruminant lentivirus infections in Belgian sheep and goats.
however exists, but less than 2% of the farmers participate to the program. The current lack of SRLV seroprevalence data and knowledge on risk factors related to SRLV seropositivity in this hobbyist sector ...
Towards the development of innovative multi-mycotoxin reference materials as promising metrological tool for emerging and regulated mycotoxin analyses.
the assignment was only possible for DON, HT-2, T-2, and ENN A. No link was found between the methods used by the participants and the results. Significant changes in dry matter contents (≥±1.4 % of the ...
A Tale of Tails: Dissecting the Enhancing Effect of Tailed Primers in Real-Time PCR.
primer variants that are able to participate in the reaction. The impact of tailed primers was less pronounced in the panFMDV-3D assay with only 5 out of 50 isolates showing a clear shift in Cq values. ...
Limited interlaboratory comparison of Schmallenberg virus antibody detection in serum samples.
Neutralization Tests Orthobunyavirus Sensitivity and Specificity Sheep Sheep Diseases Abstract: Eight veterinary institutes in seven different countries in Europe participated in a limited interlaboratory ...
Serological and virological BVDV prevalence and risk factor analysis for herds to be BVDV seropositive in Belgian cattle herds.
about participation in animal health programmes, including BVDV, was sent to 1100 Belgian cattle herds, including the 773 herds for BVDV testing. This paper focuses on results regarding these 773 herds. ...
Classical swine fever virus detection: results of a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ring trial conducted in the framework of the European network of excellence for epizootic disease diagnosis and control.
real-time RT- PCR protocols and a standardized protocol commonly used by the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (FLI) on a panel of well-characterized samples. In general, all participants produced results within ...
Trace elements in home-produced eggs in Belgium: levels and spatiotemporal distribution.
trace element contents in eggs. Eggs were sampled in all provinces of Belgium in autumn 2006 and spring 2007. A total number of 59 private chicken owners participated in the study. Trace elements were ...
The importance of quality assurance/quality control of diagnostics to increase the confidence in global foot-and-mouth disease control.
We recommended accepting trade certificates only from laboratories participating in international proficiency testing on a regular basis. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS ...
An international inter-laboratory ring trial to evaluate a real-time PCR assay for the detection of bovine herpesvirus 1 in extended bovine semen.
laboratories participated in a ring trial to evaluate the reliability of a real-time PCR assay for the detection of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) from extended bovine semen. Sets of coded samples were prepared ...
