Journal ArticleDOI

An Martel,Annemie Decostere,E. De Leener,M. Marien,E. M. De Graef,Marc Heyndrickx,H. Goossens,Christine Lammens,Luc Devriese,Freddy Haesebrouck +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sequences of the erm(B) genes of streptococcal isolates from humans, pigs, pork carcasses, chickens, and calves were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of tiamulin alone or in combination with chlortetracycline against experimental Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in chickens
TL;DR: Two challenge studies were conducted using a recently isolated M. gallisepticum strain belonging to the wildtype population with regard to its tiamulin and tetracycline minimum inhibitory concentration, showing a significant reduction of the severity of clinical respiratory disease post treatment and a significant reduced of the M.gallisepticums numbers in the respiratory tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of low virulence chytrid fungi could protect European amphibians from more deadly strains
Mark S. Greener,Elin Verbrugghe,Moira Kelly,Mark Blooi,Wouter Beukema,Stefano Canessa,Salvador Carranza,Siska Croubels,Niels De Troyer,Daniel Fernandez-Giberteau,Peter Goethals,Luc Lens,Zhimin Li,Gwij Stegen,Diederik Strubbe,Robby van Leeuwenberg,Sarah Van Praet,Mireia Vila-Escale,Muriel Vervaeke,Frank Pasmans,An Martel +20 more
TL;DR: Pre-exposure to some of these low virulence isolates protects against disease following subsequent exposure to highly virulent BdGPL in midwife toads and alters infection dynamics of its sister species B. salamandrivorans in newts, but not in salamanders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanobodies targeting conserved epitopes on the major outer membrane protein of Campylobacter as potential tools for control of Campylobacter colonization
Charlotte Vanmarsenille,InĂŠs DĂaz del Olmo,Jelle Elseviers,Gholamreza Hassanzadeh Ghassabeh,Kristof Moonens,Didier Vertommen,An Martel,Freddy Haesebrouck,Frank Pasmans,Jean-Pierre Hernalsteens,Henri De Greve +10 more
TL;DR: Six nanobodies with a broad specificity were obtained, that recognize strains belonging to the two most relevant species, Campylobacter jejuni and Campylabacter coli, that may be useful to develop a strategy for preserving chickens from Campyobacter colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Racing Pigeons: A Reservoir for Nitro-Imidazole–Resistant Trichomonas gallinae
TL;DR: Trichomonas gallinae, the cause of avian trichomonosis, is most commonly found in the order Columbiformes, and a potential exchange of resistant isolates between racing pigeons and wild pigeons is suggested.
