In silico epitope analysis of unique and membrane associated proteins from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis for immunogenicity and vaccine evaluation.
paratuberculosis disease affecting ruminants worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify potential candidate antigens and epitopes by bio and immuno-informatic tools which could be later evaluated as vaccines ...
Evaluation of the pathogenicity of West Nile virus (WNV) lineage 2 strains in a SPF chicken model of infection: NS3-249Pro mutation is neither sufficient nor necessary for conferring virulence.
We thus sought to evaluate the weight of the NS3249P ro genotype as a virulence marker of WNV in an in vivo avian model of WNV infection. We therefore characterized three genetically-related ...
Evaluation of convenient pretreatment protocols for RNA virus metagenomics in serum and tissue samples.
sequences, but there is often a lack of knowledge about their effective influence on the viral discovery sensitivity. We evaluate some convenient and widely used approaches for RNA virus discovery in clinical ...
European interlaboratory comparison of Schmallenberg virus (SBV) real-time RT-PCR detection in experimental and field samples: The method of extraction is critical for SBV RNA detection in semen.
methods used at 27 German and 17 other European laboratories for SBV RNA detection in the matrices of whole blood, serum, tissue homogenate, RNA eluates, and bovine semen were evaluated in 2 interlaboratory ...
Evaluation of a hierarchical ascendant clustering process implemented in a veterinary syndromic surveillance system.
by hierarchical ascendant classification (HAC). In the present study, this HAC clustering process was evaluated using a reference set of data that, for the purpose of this evaluation, was a priori ...
Serological diagnosis of bovine neosporosis: a Bayesian evaluation of two antibody ELISA tests for in vivo diagnosis in purchased and abortion cattle.
currently used in Belgium for bovine sera (TEST A and TEST B). The goal of this study is to evaluate these tests used at their current cut-offs, with a no gold standard approach, for the test purpose of (1) ...
Comparison of sample types and analytical methods for the detection of highly campylobacter-colonized broiler flocks at different stages in the poultry meat production chain.
test (Singlepath(®) test), was evaluated as a rapid method for the qualitative detection of Campylobacter in highly colonized broiler batches. Campylobacter counts differed significantly between sample ...
Evaluation of adaptive immune responses and heterologous protection induced by inactivated bluetongue virus vaccines.
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Bréard, Emmanuel; Belbis, Guillaume; Viarouge, Cyril; Nomikou, Kyriaki; Haegeman, Andy; Kris De Clercq; Hudelet, Pascal; Hamers, Claude; Moreau, Francis; Lilin, Thomas; Durand, Benoit; Mertens, P ...
Human biomonitoring of multiple mycotoxins in the Belgian population: Results of the BIOMYCO study.
compared between subgroups and urinary mycotoxin concentrations differed significantly among age and gender. Based on the urinary levels, the daily intake of DON and OTA was estimated and evaluated whereby, ...
Evaluation of a new chromogenic medium for direct enumeration of Campylobacter in poultry meat samples.
a high level of agreement between Campylobacter counts when evaluating RAPID versus mCCDA and CFA plates. RAPID agar was the only medium tested that could effectively suppress the growth of the background ...
