Qualitative risk assessment in a data-scarce environment: a model to assess the impact of control measures on spread of African Swine Fever.
in the EU if disease were introduced. The aim was to develop a tool to evaluate how current control or preventive measures mitigate the risk of spread and giving decision makers the means to review how ...
Persistence of free-living protozoan communities across rearing cycles in commercial poultry houses.
remained highly habitat and farm specific. Unlike in natural environments, protozoan communities inside broiler houses are therefore not seasonal. Our results imply that currently used biosecurity measures ...
Cross-reactivity of antibodies in some commercial deoxynivalenol test kits against some fusariotoxins.
DON-3β-glucoside, T2-toxin, HT2-toxin, fusarenone X, diacetoxyscirpenol, verrucarol, and zearalenone. Cross-reactivity measurements were run in water using the 50% reduction of absorbance of the blank for ELISA kits ...
Development of a foot-and-mouth disease infection model in severe combined immunodeficient mice for the preliminary evaluation of antiviral drugs.
emergency vaccines during outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease. Antiviral drugs could be used as a complementary measure. This study aimed at developing a small animal model to assess the in vivo activity of ...
Methodology of the biological risk classification of animal pathogens in Belgium.
classified according to the definitions of the World Organisation for Animal Health, which also consider economic aspects of disease. In Europe, classification is often directly linked to containment measures ...
A duplex real-time RT-PCR for the detection of bluetongue virus in bovine semen.
https://www.sciensano.be/en/biblio/a-duplex-real-time-rt-pcr-detection-bluetongue-virus-bovine-semen
The control measures prescribed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) for international trade in extended semen implicate repeated free testing of the donor’s blood for bluetongue virus ...
The positive adjuvant effect of chitosan on antigen-specific cell-mediated immunity after chickens vaccination with live Newcastle disease vaccine.
free (SPF) chickens. It was shown that chitosan enhanced the antigen-specific cell-mediated immune response in the spleen. New protocols were developed to measure the chicken IFN gamma production after ...
Improved vaccination against Newcastle disease by an in ovo recombinant HVT-ND combined with an adjuvanted live vaccine at day-old.
that could be related to the higher measured cellular immune response and digestive antibody-mediated immunity. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS Classification: 4.03 Veterinary science ...
The reduction of CSFV transmission to untreated pigs by the pestivirus inhibitor BPIP: a proof of concept.
transient infection, of which one was likely the result of sentinel to sentinel transmission. A significant lower viral genome load was measured in tonsils of sentinels in contact with BPIP-treated seeder ...
Expert judgement in a risk assessment model for Salmonella spp. in pork: the performance of different weighting schemes.
the uncertainty on the model input parameters. The performance of experts as probability assessors was measured by the experts’ ability to correctly and precisely provide estimates for a set of seed ...
