Distinction between persistent and transient infection in a bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) control programme: appropriate interpretation of real-time RT-PCR and antigen-ELISA test results.
individual samples from the same herd were pooled (maximum of 30 individual samples per pool) and screened for the presence of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV)-specific RNA using a commercial real-time RT- ...
Infectivity of rabies virus-exposed macrophages.
antibody response. Despite that macrophages are less fit to support virus production, they can still act as a source of infectious virus upon transfer in mice. This may be relevant for screening donor ...

Evaluation of four enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for the serologic survey of avian influenza in wild bird species.
a correct interpretation of ELISA test results from wild bird sera, more information is needed. In the present study, four ELISA test kits (ID-Vet IDS creen, IDEXX FlockChek AI MultiS-Screen Ab Test Kit, ...
Sero-epidemiological study of the presence of hantaviruses in domestic dogs and cats from Belgium.
hantavirus serology and geographical distribution in dogs and cats. We therefore screened sera from pet dogs (N=410) and cats (N=124) in two regions of Belgium, using IgG ELISA and IFA. We analysed the effect ...
Assessment of the efficacy of benzalkonium chloride and sodium hypochlorite against Acanthamoeba polyphaga and Tetrahymena spp.
Trophozoite viability was assessed by determination of the membrane integrity using flow cytometry as a fast screening technique. Bovine serum albumin was added to simulate clean (0.3 g/liter) and dirty (3 ...
Identification and complete genome sequencing of paramyxoviruses in mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) using random access amplification and next generation sequencing technologies.
BACKGROUND: During a wildlife screening program for avian influenza A viruses (AIV) and avian paramyxoviruses (APMV) in Belgium, we isolated two hemagglutinating agents from pools of cloacal swabs of wild ...

Deoxynivalenol loads in matched pair wheat samples in Belgium: comparison of ELISA VERATOX kit against liquid chromatography.
VERATOX kits are valuable for quantitative screening and even for an initial exposure assessment in situations when there are practical or economical reasons not to use sophisticated methods such as HPLC or ...
Diagnostic performance and application of two commercial cell viability assays in foot-and-mouth disease research.
use, the CTB (abs) assay was selected for further evaluation of its ability to detect virus neutralization and to screen antiviral compounds. The CTB (abs) assay had 99% sensitivity and 100% specificity ...
