Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in swine farm personnel, Belgium.
(37.8%) persons carried MRSA ST398 and 1 (0.8%) had concurrent skin infection. Risk factors for carriage were MRSA carriage by pigs, regular contact with pigs and companion animals, and use of ...
Quantification of foot-and-mouth disease virus transmission rates using published data.
sheep to in-contact pigs. This new analysis utilises a state-of-the-art Generalised Linear Model to estimate the transmission rate. From the obtained results it is concluded that meta-analysis of “old” ...
Proof of concept for the reduction of classical swine fever infection in pigs by a novel viral polymerase inhibitor.
piglets. The compound, administered in feed, was readily bioavailable and was well tolerated. Eight specific-pathogen-free pigs received a daily dose of 75 mg kg(-1) (mixed in feed) for a period of 15 ...
Type and frequency of contacts between Belgian pig herds.
Animals Belgium Disease Transmission, Infectious Swine Swine Diseases Transportation Abstract: Knowledge of the frequency of direct and indirect contacts between pig herds is a requirement for understanding ...
Brucella suis identification and biovar typing by real-time PCR.
Abstract: Fast and accurate identification of Brucella suis at the biovar level is an important issue for public health laboratories because some of the biovars that infect suidae (boars and pigs) are ...

Application of a Commercial Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever: Evaluation by Testing Sequential Tissue and Blood Samples
surveillance of classical swine fever (CSF) was evaluated in an experimental setup on a group of 28 pigs infected with a moderately virulent classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain of wild boar origin (‘11722- ...
Isolation and characterization of Helicobacter suis sp. nov. from pig stomachs.
stomach and gastritis in pigs and formerly described as ‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’. Three isolates, HS1 (T), HS2 and HS3, were subcultured from the stomach mucosa of three pigs after slaughter and were ...
