Identification of fungal isolates by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in veterinary practice: validation of a web application.
identifications were confirmed by DNA sequencing. MALDI- TOF MS allowed distinction between some closely related species and achieved 89% correct identification at the species level. In comparison, only 60% of the ...
Comparative genomics of quinolone-resistant and susceptible Campylobacter jejuni of poultry origin from major poultry producing European countries (GENCAMP)
fluoroquinolone resistance among C. jejuni is related to the transmission through countries or to the selection through fluoroquinolone use in the individual countries. A high genomic diversity was observed. The ...
Seroprevalence and risk factors related to small ruminant lentivirus infections in Belgian sheep and goats.
however exists, but less than 2% of the farmers participate to the program. The current lack of SRLV seroprevalence data and knowledge on risk factors related to SRLV seropositivity in this hobbyist sector ...
Reduced virulence of a pseudorabies virus isolate from wild boar origin in domestic pigs correlates with hampered visceral spread and age-dependent reduced neuroinvasive capacity.
seems to be due to an immature development state of the immune and/or nervous system in 2-week-old pigs. An extensive viral replication associated with a robust expression of cytokine-related mRNA was ...
Evaluation of 16 commercial antibody ELISAs for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus-specific antibodies in serum and milk using well-characterized sample panels.
analytical sensitivity (DS e and AS e, respectively), diagnostic specificity (DS p), and repeatability relative to the virus neutralization (VN) test considered to be the gold standard assay. Using serum as ...
Impact of Acanthamoeba Cysts on Stress Resistance of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium, Yersinia enterocolitica 4/O:3, Listeria monocytogenes 1/2a, and Escherichia coli O:26.
heating until boiling, ethanol, dishwashing detergent, and sodium hypochlorite) frequently used in domestic and industrial food-related environments were tested against (i) Acanthamoeba castellanii cysts, ...
Validation of a particle tracking analysis method for the size determination of nano- and microparticles.
50 nm and 100 nm polystyrene and a nominal 80 nm silica reference materials, the relative expanded measurement uncertainties for the three measurands of interest, being the mode, median and arithmetic ...
Risks for animal health related to the presence of zearalenone and its modified forms in feed
predominantly in cereal grains. The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on the risk to animal health related to ZEN and its modified forms in feed. Modified forms of ZEN occurring in feed ...
Schmallenberg Virus in Belgium: Estimation of Impact in Cattle and Sheep Herds.
D (n = 44) never sent suspected samples to NRL for SBV analysis but were however presumed seropositive for SBV after the survey. Questionnaires related to reproduction parameters and clinical signs observed in ...
Detection and Molecular Characterization of Foot and Mouth Disease Viruses from Outbreaks in Some States of Northern Nigeria 2013-2015.
IV) of serotype A and FMDV SAT2 topotype VII strains. While the serotype O (EA-3) strains from Nigeria were most closely related to a 1999 virus strain from Sudan, the WA strain in Nigeria shares ...
