Longitudinal monitoring of Culicoides in Belgium between 2007 and 2011: local variation in population dynamics parameters warrant cautious use of monitoring data.
Longitudinal Studies Male Orthobunyavirus Population Dynamics Risk Assessment Seasons Species Specificity Abstract: BACKGROUND: Several European countries suffered important economic losses during the past ...
Welfare-Adjusted Life Years (WALY): A novel metric of animal welfare that combines the impacts of impaired welfare and abbreviated lifespan.
adverse impact on dogs with WALY s at 2.83 (95% UI: 1.54-3.94) and 9.73 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 7.17-11.8), respectively. This study developed the WALY metric and demonstrated that it summarises ...
Comparative genomics of quinolone-resistant and susceptible Campylobacter jejuni of poultry origin from major poultry producing European countries (GENCAMP)
known which is the most accurate method for identifying the country of origin of the isolates. Allele frequency analysis of isolates under this study and a selection of previously published C. jejuni ...

Akabane, Aino and Schmallenberg virus-where do we stand and what do we know about the role of domestic ruminant hosts and Culicoides vectors in virus transmission and overwintering?
however indicate that a role of vertical virus transmission in the ruminant host currently cannot be excluded as an overwintering mechanism. More studies on Culicoides biology and specific groups of ...
Susceptibility of Pigs to Zoonotic Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 3 Isolated from a Wild Boar.
p.1589-1597 (2017) Abstract: In Europe, zoonotic hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 strains mainly circulate in humans, swine and wild boar. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential transmission ...
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.
but resulted in important neurological and respiratory disease in 2-week-old piglets. A detailed study of the (neuro) pathogenesis and associated cytokine mRNA expression showed that the reduced ...
Improved Metrological Traceability of Particle Size Values Measured with Line-Start Incremental Centrifugal Liquid Sedimentation.
the uncertainty of the measurement results and to compare them with results obtained by others. We present the results of a collaborative study that aimed at demonstrating the traceability of particle ...
Selection and transfer of an IncI1-tet(A) plasmid of Escherichia coli in an ex vivo model of the porcine caecum at doxycycline concentrations caused by crosscontaminated feed.
Croubels, S; Heyndrickx, M; Rasschaert, G Source: J Appl Microbiol (2017) Abstract: AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of subtherapeutic intestinal doxycycline (DOX) concentrations (4 ...
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.
2 panels of well-characterized serum and milk samples. Sixteen ELISA s from 9 different manufacturers, available on the Belgian market at the time of our study, were assessed for their diagnostic and ...
