The importance of sample size in the determination of a flock-level antimicrobial resistance profile for Escherichia coli in broilers.
Resistance, Bacterial Escherichia coli Escherichia coli Infections Microbial Sensitivity Tests Poultry Diseases prevalence Sample Size Abstract: Determining herd- or flock-specific antimicrobial resistance ...
Genetic characterization of low pathogenic H5N1 and co-circulating avian influenza viruses in wild mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in Belgium, 2008.
and the H5N3 (PB2, HA) viruses, and all three viruses share the same NS sequence. A double infection with two different PA segments from H5N1 and from H5N3 could be observed for the H1N1 sample. The ...
Development and inter-laboratory validation study of an improved new real-time PCR assay with internal control for detection and laboratory diagnosis of African swine fever virus.
Africa. Compared to the OIE-prescribed conventional and real-time PCR assays, the sensitivity of the new assay with internal control was improved, as demonstrated by testing 281 field samples collected in ...
Effect of coated and non-coated fatty acid supplementation on broiler chickens experimentally infected with Campylobacter jejuni.
CFU /g 4 days post-inoculation; after this time period, the effect of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) was less pronounced or absent. Campylobacter jejuni counts in excreta samples were significantly ...
Cross-reactivity of some commercially available deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) immunoaffinity columns to DON- and ZEN-conjugated forms and metabolites.
cross-reactivity to some of the ZEN derivatives. The IAC s were evaluated for their potential use as sample clean-up for mycotoxins in serum. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS Classification: 4.03 ...

Identification and complete genome sequencing of paramyxoviruses in mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) using random access amplification and next generation sequencing technologies.
mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) caught in a single sampling site at two different times. AIV and APMV1 were excluded using hemagglutination inhibition (HI) testing and specific real-time RT- PCR tests. ...
Is individual educational level related to end-of-life care use? Results from a nationwide retrospective cohort study in Belgium.

Tick-borne encephalitis virus seropositive dog detected in Belgium: screening of the canine population as sentinels for public health.
A commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was adapted for the detection of TBEV-specific IgG-antibodies in canine sera. Serum samples of Belgian dogs were obtained from three diagnostic laboratories ...
