A survey on biosecurity and management practices in selected Belgian cattle farms.
veterinary medicine involves the implementation of biosecurity, which includes all measures preventing pathogens from entering a herd and reducing the spread of pathogens within a herd. In Belgium no studies ...
Vers un monitoring des facteurs de risque d'émergence des maladies animales?
of measurable risk factors in a still to be developed emerging risk forecasting system designed to identify early conditions favouring the emergence of certain diseases Health Topics: Animal health ...
Molecular epidemiological analysis of the transboundary transmission of 2003 highly pathogenic avian influenza H7N7 outbreaks between the Netherlands and Belgium.
distance contacts within Belgium or whether this farm presented a fourth independent transboundary introduction. These multiple transnational transmissions of HPAI in spite of reinforced biosecurity measures ...
Effect of a DIVA vaccine with and without in-feed use of coated calcium-butyrate on transmission of Salmonella Typhimurium in pigs.
crucial, although additional control measures on-farm need to be considered. This study evaluated the effect of two potential control measures against the spread of Salmonella Typhimurium via a transmission ...
Infectious Bursal Disease: a complex host-pathogen interaction.
Recent progress in the field of avian immunology has allowed a better knowledge of the immunological mechanisms involved in the disease but also should give improved tools for the measurement of ...
Experimental co-infections of calves with bluetongue virus serotypes 1 and 8.
a standardized clinical form. Serotype-specific real-time RT- PCR s and viral isolation were used to monitor the course of viraemia. Neutralizing antibody titres were measured during the experiments, and necropsy ...
Importance of identification and typing of Brucellae from West African cattle: a review.
national and/or regional scale are important to set up and implement efficient control measures against brucellosis in a “One health” perspective. The main objective of this review was to investigate ...
Immune responses and protection against H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus induced by the Newcastle disease virus H5 vaccine in ducks.

Bluetongue sentinel surveillance program and cross-sectional serological survey in cattle in Belgium in 2010-2011.
non-vaccinated animals was monitored and the level of herd immunity against BTV-8 after 3 consecutive years of compulsory BTV-8 vaccination was measured by ELISA. During the 1st sampling round of the BT sentinel ...
Quantitative characterization of agglomerates and aggregates of pyrogenic and precipitated amorphous silica nanomaterials by transmission electron microscopy.
