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
2011. In total, 420 serum samples of fattening pigs aged less than 6 months were used for virological studies and 420 serum samples of lactating sows for serological testing. The presence of HEV-specific ...
Accumulation of atmospheric deposition of As, Cd and Pb by bush bean plants.
purposes, the leaves of bush bean are the most suitable, but also washed or unwashed pods can be used. This means that the obtained relationships are suitable to estimate the transfer of airborne trace ...
Large-scale cross-sectional serological survey of Schmallenberg virus in Belgian cattle at the end of the first vector season.
Schmallenberg-specific antibodies using an ELISA kit. Between-herd seroprevalence in cattle was estimated at 99.76% (95% CI: 98.34-99.97) and within-herd seroprevalence at 86.3% (95% CI: 84.75-87.71). An Intraclass ...
Proteomic characterization of bovine herpesvirus 4 extracellular virions.
we analyzed the protein composition of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4), a close relative of the human Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. Using mass spectrometry-based approaches, we identified ...
Potential impact of fertilization practices on human dietary intake of dioxins in Belgium.
stage, including crop fertilization. Therefore, we developed a simple method for estimating the introduction of dioxins in the food chain according to various fertilization practices. Using dioxin’s ...
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 ...
A dynamic model to calculate cadmium concentrations in bovine tissues from basic soil characteristics.
the flow of cadmium from soil, drinking water and feed towards bovine tissues. The data used for model development were tissue Cd concentrations of 57 bovines and Cd concentrations in soil, feed and ...
Capsid proteins from field strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus confer a pathogenic phenotype in cattle on an attenuated, cell-culture-adapted virus
were constructed using the backbone from the O1K B64 cDNA, and viable viruses (O1K /O- UKG and O1K /A-Tur, respectively) were successfully rescued in each case. These viruses grew well in primary bovine ...
Electron tomography of negatively stained complex viruses: application in their diagnosis.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Electron tomographic analysis can be combined with the simple and rapid negative staining technique used in electron microscopy based virus diagnosis. METHODS: Standard negative staining ...
Application of a Commercial Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever: Evaluation by Testing Sequential Tissue and Blood Samples
that, at the very early stages of infection, comparable detection efficiency was achieved by using large numbers of blood samples or smaller number of tonsils. The increased size of sampling is necessary ...
