Belgian Wildlife as Potential Zoonotic Reservoir of Hepatitis E Virus.
determine in which situation deer can serve as reservoir. These results also raise the question of the dynamics of HEV infection between wild fauna, domestic pigs and humans. Health Topics: Health and ...
The Assessment of African Swine Fever Virus Risk to Belgium Early 2014, using the Quick and Semiquantitative Pandora Screening Protocol.
early 2014 (February-April) and performed in cooperation with 15 Belgian and European experts on ASFV and its epidemiology in pigs/wild boar. African swine fever (ASF) is considered as one of the most ...
Age-Dependent Differences in Pseudorabies Virus Neuropathogenesis and Associated Cytokine Expression.
induced by pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection of its natural host is inversely related to the age of the pig. During this study, 2- and 15-week-old pigs were inoculated with PRV strain NIA3. This resulted ...
Antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Escherichia coli by using normalized resistance interpretation.
Interpretation (NRI) method. METHODS: The susceptibilities of 921 E. coli isolates from clinically healthy pigs at slaughter age was determined for 15 antimicrobials by the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion technique. ...

Clinical problems due to encephalomyocarditis virus infections in two pig herds.
Manag, Volume 2, p.19 (2016) Abstract: BACKGROUND: Infections with encephalomyocarditis virus may cause myocarditis and sudden death in young pigs and reproduction disorders in sows. The presence of ...
Genotyping and strain distribution of Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis isolated from humans and pigs in Belgium, 2011-2013.
Mycobacterium avium represents a health concern for both humans and pigs. The characterisation of its subspecies is an important step improving the understanding of the epidemiology and the control of this ...
Complete Genome Sequence of Pseudorabies Virus Reference Strain NIA3 Using Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing.
3 (2016) Abstract: Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is the causative agent of Aujeszky’s disease in pigs. PRV strains are also used as model organisms for the study of alphaherpesvirus biology or for neuronal ...
