Molecular typing of monophasic Salmonella 4,[5]:i:- strains isolated in Belgium (2008-2011).
assessment was initiated. Two hundred fifty-three Salmonella isolates serotyped as 4,[5]:i:- during the period 2008-2011 in Belgium and originating from animal productions, food or human clinical samples were ...
Large-scale cross-sectional serological survey of Schmallenberg virus in Belgian cattle at the end of the first vector season.
after the first period of infection of the emerging Schmallenberg virus. A total number of 11 635 cattle from 422 herds sampled between 2 January and 7 March 2012 were tested for the presence of ...
A dynamic model to calculate cadmium concentrations in bovine tissues from basic soil characteristics.
drinking water, sampled at the farms were the bovines were reared. Validation of the model occurred with a second set of measured tissue Cd concentrations of 93 bovines of which age and farm location were ...
Application of a Commercial Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever: Evaluation by Testing Sequential Tissue and Blood Samples
of the rRT- PCR kit was also evaluated on blood samples collected at the scale of the animal group and compared to the individual diagnosis based on analysis of tonsils. The present study indicated ...
Monitoring of pigeon paramyxovirus type-1 in organs of pigeons naturally infected with Salmonella Typhimurium.
samples remained positive during most of the experiment, seemed to be the principal targets for virus persistence. However, the virus was significantly recovered later in the brain parts and for longer in ...
Morbillivirus in common seals stranded on the coasts of Belgium and northern France during summer 1998.
Abstract: Sixteen common seals (Phoca vitulina) were stranded on the Belgian and northern French coasts during the summer of 1998. Eleven (10 pups and one adult) were sampled for histopathological, ...
Comparative Analysis of Different Serological and Molecular Tests for the Detection of Small Ruminant Lentiviruses (SRLVs) in Belgian Sheep and Goats.
samples and samples from experimentally infected sheep and goats. ELISA s generally performed well and detected seroconversion within three weeks post experimental infection. Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...
(Non-)Sense of Milk Testing in Small Ruminant Lentivirus Control Programs in Goats. Comparative Analysis of Antibody Detection and Molecular Diagnosis in Blood and Milk.
Abstract: Small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) control programs are mainly based on diagnostic tests performed on blood samples collected from sheep and goats. Since blood sampling is costly and stressful for the ...
An Immunoperoxidase Monolayer Assay (IPMA) for the detection of lumpy skin disease antibodies.
of sheeppox or goatpox antibodies and it can be scaled-up to handle medium size sample sets by preparing the IPMA plates in advance. These plates are safe and can be handled in low biosafety ...
A TaqMan probe-based multiplex real-time PCR method for the specific detection of wild type lumpy skin disease virus with beta-actin as internal amplification control.
(Onderstepoort) and SIS type (Lumpyvax) live attenuated LSDV vaccines in Europe should be able to detect the wild type (WT) LSDV in animals with adverse reactions to the vaccines and samples with potentially high ...
