Protective efficacy of classical vaccines and vaccination protocols against an exotic Newcastle disease virus genotype VII.2 in Belgian layer and broiler chickens.
chickens Classical vaccination Genotype VII.2 Layer Newcastle disease virus Abstract: Vaccination against Newcastle disease (ND) has been routinely implemented in the Belgian professional poultry sector ...
Differential infection behavior of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype I and II in the upper respiratory tract.
genotype II strain BEL18 than genotype I strain E70 in the epithelial cell layer, (ii) a preference of ASFV infection for the lamina propria and a tropism of ASFV for various susceptible cell types in ...
Complete Genome Sequence of an Avian Metapneumovirus Subtype A Strain Isolated from Chicken () in Brazil.
metapneumovirus (aMPV) isolated from a tracheal tissue sample of a commercial layer flock. The complete genome sequence of aMPV-A/chicken/Brazil- SP /669/2003 was obtained using MiSeq (Illumina, Inc.) sequencing. ...
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.
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) obtained from humans and layer farms in Belgium collected during 2000-2010. Three periods were compared, namely (i) before implementation of vaccination ...
The combination of attenuated Newcastle disease (ND) vaccine with rHVT-ND vaccine at 1 day old is more protective against ND virus challenge than when combined with inactivated ND vaccine.
the same age in commercial layer chickens. The humoral, cell-mediated and local immunity were followed weekly and birds were challenged with a viscerotropic velogenic ND virus strain at 6 and 10 weeks ...
Characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from healthy carrier chickens.
livestock including poultry, little is known about the epidemiology of MRSA in broiler and layer chickens. We therefore investigated 372 poultry farms in Belgium. We also compared the isolation method ...
Efficacy of rHVT-AI vector vaccine in broilers with passive immunity against challenge with two antigenically divergent Egyptian clade 2.2.1 HPAI H5N1 strains.
H5N1 Subtype Influenza in Birds Influenza Vaccines Vaccines, Inactivated Abstract: In countries where avian influenza has become endemic, early vaccination of layer pullets or broilers with classical ...
Molecular characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis: comparison of an optimized multi-locus variable-number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Wallace coefficient (W) was calculated to assess the congruence of the typing methods. Selection of epidemiologically unrelated isolates and more related isolates (originating from layer farms) was also ...
Potential impact of fertilization practices on human dietary intake of dioxins in Belgium.
1 and 3 ng TEQ /m² and sludge or compost bring more than 3 ng TEQ /m². The use of solid fertilizers could potentially increase the dioxin levels in the 30 cm agricultural soil layer by 0 to ~1.5% per year ...
Skin mucus of Cyprinus carpio inhibits cyprinid herpesvirus 3 binding to epidermal cells.
where the mucus was removed with or without associated epidermal lesion. To investigate whether skin mucus inhibits CyHV-3 binding to epidermal cells, tail fins with an intact mucus layer or without mucus ...
