First isolation, identification, phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Brucella abortus biovar 3 from dairy cattle in Tanzania.
with the RBT. Three Brucella were isolated from an aborted fetus and associated membranes. Real time PCR (IS711), Bruce-ladder and classical biotyping classified the isolates as B. abortus biovar 3. ...
Veal Calves Produce Less Antibodies against C. Perfringens Alpha Toxin Compared to Beef Calves.
a disease with a high associated mortality rate, affecting beef and veal calves worldwide, caused by C. perfringens alpha toxin and perfringolysin. A longitudinal study was conducted to determine the dynamics ...
Contamination of freshly slaughtered pig carcasses with enteropathogenic Yersinia spp.: Distribution, quantification and identification of risk factors.
associated with Yersinia contamination of freshly eviscerated pig carcasses were studied. Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 was isolated from the tonsils and feces of 55.3% and 25.6% of pigs, and Y. ...
Long-term persistence of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in entomopathogenic nematodes.
Xenorhabdus was able to substitute for or “hijack” the symbiotic relationship associating Xenorhabdus and Steinernema EPN s. To deal with this question, a laboratory experimental model was developed consisting ...
Whole genome protein microarrays for serum profiling of immunodominant antigens of Bacillus anthracis.
attractive candidates for diagnostic and vaccine biomarker development as they may be more specifically associated with the infectious phase of the pathogen. A number of B. anthracis small hypothetical protein ...
Next-generation sequencing in veterinary medicine: how can the massive amount of information arising from high-throughput technologies improve diagnosis, control, and management of infectious diseases?
Medicine Abstract: The development of high-throughput molecular technologies and associated bioinformatics has dramatically changed the capacities of scientists to produce, handle, and analyze large amounts ...
Prediction of respiratory disease and diarrhea in veal calves based on immunoglobulin levels and the serostatus for respiratory pathogens measured at arrival.
respiratory disease (BRD) or neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) in the veal herd is associated with total immunoglobulin (Ig) and/or on the serostatus for respiratory pathogens measured at arrival. Therefore, the ...
Bluetongue virus RNA detection by real-time rt-PCR in post-vaccination samples from cattle.
also hypothesized. Several studies specifically addressed the potential association between a recent vaccination and BTV-8 RNA detection in the blood of sheep. Results were contradictory and cattles were ...
Antimicrobial resistance and population structure of Staphylococcus epidermidis recovered from pig farms in Belgium.
S. epidermidis carriage was 28%, with approximately half of the pigs tested (13.5%) carrying methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis (MRSE). Some isolates belonged to multilocus sequence types, associated ...
Campylobacter carcass contamination throughout the slaughter process of Campylobacter-positive broiler batches.
carried high numbers of campylobacters in their caeca (≥7.9log10cfu/g). Campylobacter counts on feathers (up to 6.8log10cfu/g), positively associated with the breast skin contamination of incoming birds and ...
