Evaluating Diagnostic Accuracy of Saliva Sampling Methods for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Reveals Differential Sensitivity and Association with Viral Load.
saliva specimens and nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs with respect to sensitivity in detecting SARS-CoV-2. A nasopharyngeal and two saliva specimens (collected by spitting or oral swabbing) were obtained from ...
Quantitative decision making in animal health surveillance: Bovine Tuberculosis Surveillance in Belgium as case study.
used to simulate the current surveillance system’s expected performance in terms of detection sensitivity and specificity. These results were then descriptively compared with observed field results. ...
A Targeted UHPLC-MS/MS Method Validated for the Quantification of Ergot Alkaloids in Cereal-Based Baby Food from the Belgian Market
showed good sensitivity, accuracy, and precision. It has been applied to 49 samples from the Belgian market. In 26 samples, not a single ergot alkaloid was detected while in 23 out of 49 samples at least ...
Application of the direct peptide reactivity assay to mixtures of sensitizing compounds

Intra- and inter-laboratory comparison of mDixon and FastFung broths for Malassezia antifungal susceptibility testing.
Dermatomycoses Humans Laboratories Malassezia Microbial Sensitivity Tests Abstract: BACKGROUND: Malassezia spp. antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) capacities are limited by the lack of efficient and ...
Detection of Clinical and Subclinical Lumpy Skin Disease Using Ear Notch Testing and Skin Biopsies.
subclinical, the sensitivity of clinical surveillance could be lower than expected. Furthermore, real-time PCR for the detection of LSD viral DNA in blood samples from subclinical animals is only intermittently ...
Development of a real-time PCR marker targeting a new unauthorized genetically modified microorganism producing protease identified by DNA walking
developed to target specifically the newly discovered GMM, namely GMM protease2. The performance of the real-time PCR marker was assessed in terms of specificity and sensitivity. The applicability of the ...
Validation of TaqMan-Based Assays for Specific Detection and Differentiation of Wild-Type and Neethling Vaccine Strains of LSDV.
able to distinguish Neethling-based LAV s and wild-type LSDV were developed. Upon validation, both assays were shown to have high sensitivity and specificity with a diagnostic performance comparable to ...
Selection and use of reference panels: a case study highlighting current gaps in the materials available for foot and mouth disease.
are required. These are to: reduce bias in estimates of the diagnostic sensitivity and inter-serotypic specificity of tests used to detect diverse strains of FMD virus (FMDV), provide bio-safe positive ...
A molecular assay for rapidly distinguishing the AviPro SALMONELLA VAC T vaccine strain from wild-type field isolates
This molecular test is able to distinguish both Salmonella ser. Typhimurium types with 100% sensitivity and specificity within one working day. Health Topics: Salmonellosis Salmonellose Salmonellose ...
