Worldwide burden of cervical cancer in 2008.
impact of existing preventive measures and to define priorities for the future. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Best estimates on cervical cancer incidence and mortality are presented using recently compiled data ...
Development and inter-laboratory validation study of an improved new real-time PCR assay with internal control for detection and laboratory diagnosis of African swine fever virus.
reproducibility and robustness of the PCR assay (CV ranging from 0.7 to 5.4%) were demonstrated both within and between laboratories using different real-time PCR equipments. The specificity of virus detection was ...
Effect of coated and non-coated fatty acid supplementation on broiler chickens experimentally infected with Campylobacter jejuni.
capric acid) affects broiler chickens experimentally infected with Campylobacter jejuni. The study was carried out using 48 chickens divided into four experimental groups. Throughout the whole rearing ...
The first International Standard anti-Brucella melitensis Serum.
the RBT; the IS aBmS is an additional standard. It was impossible to set criteria for the complement fixation test, therefore the OIEISS will remain the primary standard. The IS aBmS can be used to ...
Cross-reactivity of some commercially available deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) immunoaffinity columns to DON- and ZEN-conjugated forms and metabolites.
(3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, DON-3-glucoside, DON-3-glucuronide, ZEN-glucosides, ZEN-glucuronide) and metabolites (de-epoxydeoxynivalenol, α-zearalenol, β-zearalenol) and nivalenol (NIV), using ...

Brucellosis at the animal/ecosystem/human interface at the beginning of the 21st century.
animal species are not known. Vaccination is the cornerstone of control programs in livestock and although the S19, RB51 (both in cattle) and Rev 1 (in sheep and goats) vaccines have been successfully used ...
Methodologies for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica subtyping: gold standards and alternatives.
salmonellosis outbreaks require the use of methods that can fingerprint the causative strains at a taxonomic level far more specific than the one achieved by serotyping. During the last 2 decades, alternative ...
Antibody evasion by a gammaherpesvirus O-glycan shield.
In this study, we used Bovine Herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) to determine how its gp350 homolog–gp180–contributes to virus replication and neutralization. A lack of gp180 had no impact on the establishment and ...
