Belgian Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity.
Abstract:, a day-active mosquito known to feed aggressively on humans, was reported as a nuisance species near an abandoned pigsty in Belgium. Since Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an emerging zoonotic ...
Epidemiological Dynamics of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the Horn of Africa: The Role of Virus Diversity and Animal Movement.
inter-typic recombination, as well as the quasi-species nature of the virus. This paper describes the epidemiological dynamics of foot-and-mouth disease in the Horn of Africa with regard to the serotypes and ...
Remarkable fungal biodiversity on northern Belgium bats and hibernacula
as Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causative agent of the white-nose syndrome. Their body surface can also be colonized by fungal commensals or carry transient fungal species and participate in their ...
Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
effects. The genera Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Alternaria, and yeasts, the most common fungi found indoors, include species with high allergenic and toxigenic potentials. Identification of these ...
Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Humboldt Penguins—Susceptibility Patterns andMolecular Epidemiology of Clinical and Environmental Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates from a Belgian Zoo
penguins and other avian species from the zoo were also included. All veterinary and suspected ARAF isolates from the environment were characterized for their azole-resistance profile by broth microdilution. ...
Comparison of Serological Methods for Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus-Specific Antibody Detection in Wild Boar and Sheep: Impact of the Screening Approach on the Estimated Seroprevalence.
(TBEV) IgG All Species (Progen) and ID Screen West Nile Competition (Innovative Diagnostics)) and PRNT s for TBEV and USUTU virus. The results showed that the Immunozym and IDS creen ELISA s had low ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
characterization had only been achieved in a handful of studies, and had not been proven possible when more than one strain of the same species were present. Moreover, the genome obtained from metagenomics sequences ...
Identification of Mycobacterium abscessus Subspecies by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Machine Learning.
origin of the strains were evaluated, showing that the latter had an impact on the protein spectra. Finally, after studying all protein peaks previously reported for this species, two novel peaks with ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
sequencing, of almost all the bacterial species present in a complex mock community. Conclusion: Amongst the 6 tested methods, the Quick- DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was considered as the most suitable ...
Development of a Taxon-Specific Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Method to Detect Trichoderma reesei Contaminations in Fermentation Products
food industry to produce fermentation products, a novel real-time PCR method specific to this fungal species was developed and validated in this study to reinforce the GMM detection strategy. Designed to ...
