pastoralist. It faces countless problems, such as a shortage of pastures and watering points, poor access to veterinary services, and multiple endemic diseases like foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Foot-and-mouth ...
Reliability of Morphological and PCR Methods for the Official Diagnosis of Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): A European Inter-Laboratory Comparison.
encountered specificity problems. For one, the anomaly was minor whereas, for the other, the issues concerned a larger number of results, especially real-time PCR, which probably were related to inexperience ...
Global Burden of Animal Diseases: A novel approach to understanding and managing disease in livestock and aquaculture
and from which to measure the impact of interventions. This paper is part of a process of scientific enquiry in which problems are identified and solutions sought in an inclusive way. It poses the broad ...
Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
problem. To ensure public health, it is imperative to characterize the risks related to these toxins. The present study aims to conduct a dietary exposure assessment of citrinin (CIT) and ochratoxin A (OTA) ...
Development and validation of a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR method for the differentiation of wild type lumpy skin disease virus from vaccine virus strains.
(LSD) is a transboundary viral disease of cattle with severe economic impact. Immunization of cattle with homologous live attenuated vaccines poses a number of diagnostic problems, as it has been ...
Us3 and Us9 proteins contribute to the stromal invasion of bovine herpesvirus 1 in the respiratory mucosa.
Hurk, Sylvia; Ann Brigitte Cay; Nauwynck, Hans J Source: J Gen Virol (2017) Abstract: Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) infection may lead to conjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract problems, pneumonia, ...
Investigation of a Possible Link Between Vaccination and the 2010 Sheep Pox Epizootic in Morocco.
Sheep pox is endemic in most parts of Northern Africa and has the potential to cause severe economic problems. Live attenuated vaccines are used in Morocco, and in many other countries, to control the ...
A Tale of Tails: Dissecting the Enhancing Effect of Tailed Primers in Real-Time PCR.
improve the robustness and overall performance of diagnostic assays. Despite the widespread use of tailed primers, the underlying working mechanism is not well understood. To address this problem, we ...
Clinical problems due to encephalomyocarditis virus infections in two pig herds.
control and reducing stress are the main control measures. CASE PRESENTATION: Two farrow-to-finish herds suffering from problems with sudden death are presented. In herd A, suckling piglets from 3 to ...
First isolation, identification, phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Brucella abortus biovar 3 from dairy cattle in Tanzania.
sourced from large farms like this to smallholder farmers, which poses risk of spread of bacteria to other herds. B. abortus is a significant zoonotic risk and animal health problem in this production ...
