Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent Goose Hemorrhagic Polyomavirus Infection on a Belgian Goose Farm.
TL;DR: There is evidence that GHPV is not only present in countries known for extensive waterfowl production, but disease outbreaks also occur in countries with less extensive goose production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-biased disease dynamics increase extinction risk by impairing population recovery
Gonçalo M. Rosa,Gonçalo M. Rosa,Gonçalo M. Rosa,Jamie Bosch,An Martel,Frank Pasmans,Rui Rebelo,Richard A. Griffiths,Trenton W. J. Garner +8 more
TL;DR: The models suggest that female‐biased mortality does not exacerbate Ranavirus‐driven population declines in the short‐term, but is likely to have a deleterious impact during the recovery process once the lethal effect of disease is removed from the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basal cell carcinoma in two Hermann’s tortoises (Testudo hermanni)
Tom Hellebuyck,Richard Ducatelle,Leslie Bosseler,Annemie Van Caelenberg,Han Versnaeyen,Koen Chiers,An Martel +6 more
TL;DR: Although squamous cell carcinomas in tortoises show similar predilection sites and gross pathologic features, the BCCs described in this report were characterized by a remarkably fast and highly infiltrative growth in comparison to SCCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference Gene Validation for Quantitative Real-time PCR Studies in Amphibian Kidney-derived A6 Epithelial Cells.
TL;DR: The reference genes eef1a1 and sub1.L should be used to achieve optimal normalisation in A6 cells, and the optimal number of reference targets was determined to be 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro modeling of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection of the amphibian skin.
TL;DR: A fluorescent cell-based in vitro infection model that reproduces host-Bd interactions and reproduced different stages of host cell infection and intracellular growth of Bd, resulting in host cell death, a key event in chytridiomycosis is described.
