Comparison of classical serotyping and PremiTest assay for routine identification of common Salmonella enterica serovars.
noninterpretable results for 96 strains, for which 23 were caused by assay failures. When purified DNA instead of crude extracts were tested, the number of strains successfully identified to the serovar level ...
Muticentrische studie "Verband tussen antibioticaconsumptie en microbile resistentie bij de individuele patiënt"
organisms, in particular well known pathogens, at the individual patient level both in the ambulatory and in the in-patient setting. The microbiological results of voluntary participating clinical laboratories ...
Non coding extremities of the seven influenza virus type C vRNA segments: effect on transcription and replication by the type C and type A polymerase complexes.
more variable in length than those of the type A and B viruses. The levels of transcription/replication of viral-like vRNAs harboring the NC sequences of the respective type C virus segments flanking the ...
Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Belgian house cats.
tested positive for IgG and/or IgM. Seroprevalence increased with age from 2% below 12 months of age up to 44% at age 7. Sensitivities of SAG1 and TLA ELISA were 84.1% and 88.6%, respectively. Peak levels ...
Brucella suis identification and biovar typing by real-time PCR.
Abstract: Fast and accurate identification of Brucella suis at the biovar level is an important issue for public health laboratories because some of the biovars that infect suidae (boars and pigs) are ...
Transplacental infection and apparently immunotolerance induced by a wild-type bluetongue virus serotype 8 natural infection.
uptake provide evidence of almost 10% transplacental BTV infection in newborns. Apparently immunotolerant calves were found at a level of 2.4%. The current study concludes that the combined serological and ...
Effect of pooling and multiplexing on the detection of bluetongue virus RNA by real-time RT-PCR.
detected after pooling. The pooling strategy is therefore not suitable for BTV detection at the individual level since animals infected recently may be missed. An alternative approach to reduce costs and ...
Sequence analysis of bluetongue virus serotype 8 from the Netherlands 2006 and comparison to other European strains.
levels of nucleotide identity with other ‘western’ BTV strains, it represents a new introduction and was not derived from the BTV-8 vaccine, although its route of entry into Europe has not ...
Indirect foot-and-mouth disease vaccine potency testing based on a serological alternative.
laboratories and assays used, the majority of antibody pass-levels, determined using ROC analysis, corresponded to at least 75.0% probability of protection. The indirect potency assessment procedure proposed is ...
