Pyrrolizidine alkaloids in food and feed on the Belgian market.
tea, milk and feed samples bought on the Belgian market. The results confirmed that tea, scented tea, herbal tea and honey are important food sources of pyrrolizidine alkaloid contamination in Belgium. ...
Role of wildlife and domestic pigs as reservoirs for hepatitis E virus (HEV): study of the infection in suids and cervids and of the susceptibility of pigs to HEV originating from wild boa
1 e) and one to genotype 1. These results indicate the possible zoonotic potential of HEV in Belgium. In addition, the existence of other HEV genotypes or subtypes circulating in pigs in Belgium cannot ...
Evaluation of a hierarchical ascendant clustering process implemented in a veterinary syndromic surveillance system.
divided and defined as Bluetongue (BTV) positive cases (PC) on the one hand and BTV negative cases (NC) on the other hand. By comparing the clustering result of MoSS- E2 with the expected outcome, the ...
Serological diagnosis of bovine neosporosis: a Bayesian evaluation of two antibody ELISA tests for in vivo diagnosis in purchased and abortion cattle.
both ELISA ’s. Test results were entered in a Bayesian model with informative priors on population prevalences only (Scenario 1). As sensitivity analysis, two more models were used: one with informative ...
Bluetongue virus RNA detection by real-time rt-PCR in post-vaccination samples from cattle.
positive using BTV-specific real-time RT- PCR, raising questions about a possible low level of virus circulation. An interference of the BTV-8 inactivated vaccine on the result of the real-time RT- PCR was ...
Extended transmission of two H5/H7 low pathogenic avian influenza viruses in chickens.
pathogen-free (SPF) chickens. For the H5N2 LPAIV, the infectivity of contact-infected chickens was similar to the infectivity of inoculated chickens. Despite results from a previous study suggesting the H7N1 ...
Measuring general animal health status: Development of an animal health barometer.

A thiazepino[4,5-a]benzimidazole derivative hampers the RNA replication of Eurasian serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus.
(FMDV) in countries that are free from FMD without vaccination has a dramatic socio-economic impact, huge animal welfare issues and may result in the loss of farm animal genetic resources. As an ...
