Journal ArticleDOI
Tree species diversity indirectly affects nutrient cycling through the shrub layer and its high-quality litter
Stefanie R.E. De Groote,Margot Vanhellemont,Lander Baeten,An De Schrijver,An De Schrijver,An Martel,Dries Bonte,Luc Lens,Kris Verheyen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied how tree species identity and species diversity affect nutrient cycling in mature forests and found indirect effects of tree species diversity on nutrient cycling via effects of the tree species composition on the abundance and composition of the shrub layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread occurrence of an emerging fungal pathogen in heavily traded Chinese urodelan species
TL;DR: It is found that the exportation of millions of animals renders Bsal introduction in naive, importing countries a near certainty, which calls for the urgent implementation of proper biosecurity in the international wildlife trade.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative evaluation of phenotypic and molecular methods in the identification of members of the Staphylococcus sciuri group.
Srdjan Stepanović,Ivana Dakić,An Martel,Mario Vaneechoutte,Donald Morrison,Adebayo Shittu,Petr Ježek,Annemie Decostere,Luc Devriese,Freddy Haesebrouck +9 more
TL;DR: The accuracy and ease of use of this protocol suggest that it may be useful and valuable in microbiological laboratories for the identification of members of the Staphylococcus sciuri group.
Journal ArticleDOI
First isolation of “Brachyspira hampsonii” from pigs in Europe
Maxime Mahu,E. de Jong,N. De Pauw,L. Vande Maele,Virginie Vandenbroucke,Tamara Vandersmissen,C. Miry,Frank Pasmans,Freddy Haesebrouck,An Martel,Filip Boyen +10 more
TL;DR: Three more weakly haemolytic Brachyspira species are designated, namely Brachypira intermedia , Brachys Pira murdochii and BrachysPira pilosicoli, which diverge in the severity of clinical symptoms they cause.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Seroprevalence of Respiratory Pathogens in Hobby Poultry
Roel Haesendonck,Marc Verlinden,Glynnis Devos,Tinneke Michiels,Patrick Butaye,Freddy Haesebrouck,Frank Pasmans,An Martel +7 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate the high seroprevalence of respiratory pathogens among hobby poultry; therefore, it is possible that this group could act as a reservoir for commercially kept poultry.
