Lumpy Skin Disease Is Characterized by Severe Multifocal Dermatitis With Necrotizing Fibrinoid Vasculitis Following Experimental Infection.
the poxvirus lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). The virus is endemic in most countries in Africa and an emerging threat to cattle populations in Europe and Asia. As LSDV spreads into new regions, it is ...
CCR2(+)CD103(-) intestinal dendritic cells develop from DC-committed precursors and induce interleukin-17 production by T cells.
(IL)-17a production by T cells in vitro, and show constitutive expression of IL-12/ IL-23p40. These data highlight the heterogeneity of intestinal DC s and reveal a bona fide population of CCR2 (+) DC s that ...
Measuring general animal health status: Development of an animal health barometer.
Reporting Public Health Practice Abstract: The development of an animal health barometer, an instrument to measure the general health of the Belgian livestock population on a yearly basis and to monitor its ...
Antimicrobial resistance and population structure of Staphylococcus epidermidis recovered from pig farms in Belgium.
element (ACME) associated with colonisation. Some MRSE ST273 strains also carried the ica operon involved in biofilm formation. These research findings provide insight into the population structure and ...
The use of serosurveys following emergency vaccination, to recover the status of "foot-and-mouth disease free where vaccination is not practised".
different seropositive findings. This derives largely from uncertainty over the extent of localised pockets of virus infection that may remain within vaccinated populations and the circumstances that permit ...
Distribution of Schmallenberg virus and seroprevalence in Belgian sheep and goats.
to detect Schmallenberg virus (SBV)-specific antibodies by ELISA was organized in the Belgian sheep population to study the seroprevalence at the end of the epidemic. One thousand eighty-two sheep ...
Phage and MLVA typing of Salmonella enteritidis isolated from layers and humans in Belgium from 2000-2010, a period in which vaccination of laying hens was introduced.
in layers and humans before 2007, a significant reduction of those PT s was observed in both populations in the period 2007-2010. The relative proportion of PT4 b, PT21 c and PT6 c was found to have ...
An experimental model to analyse the risk of introduction of a duck-originated H5 low-pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry through close contact and contaminative transmission.
suggest that some duck-originated H5 LPAIV s may be introduced to poultry but do not have the potential to become established in poultry populations. Health Topics: Animal health Category: A1 FOS ...
Molecular characterization of Belgian pseudorabies virus isolates from domestic swine and wild boar.
herpesvirus 1, also called pseudorabies virus (PRV). In several European countries, including Belgium, the virus has successfully been eradicated from the domestic swine population. The presence of PRV in the ...
Schmallenberg virus circulation in culicoides in Belgium in 2012: field validation of a real time RT-PCR approach to assess virus replication and dissemination in midges.
investigated if a renewed SBV circulation in midges occurred in 2012 in the context of high seroprevalence in the animal host population and evaluated if a recently proposed realtime RT- PCR approach that is ...
