TL;DR: The results demonstrated that cell culture, sera and trypsin used by different laboratories show a high rate of contaminants, highlighting the need for monitoring cell cultures and controlling for biological contaminants in laboratories and cell banks working with these materials.

TL;DR: Results indicated that Brazilian PRV isolates are grouped in two clusters, A and B, except for one isolate that grouped with Bartha and Shope and diverged from virus isolated from other countries.

TL;DR: The results showed that RD4 is the ideal region to differentiate M. bovis from other bacteria classified in MTC, but primer design should be considered carefully.

TL;DR: The analysis showed that a portion of gC (approximately 671 bp) is under selective pressure at various points that coincide with regions of protein disorder, and it was also possible to divide SuHV-1 into five genotypes that evolved under different selective pressures.

TL;DR: The new RT-ddPCR diagnostic tool allowed the absolute quantification of FMDV RNA from epithelium and OP-fluid samples, as well as having the advantages of direct quantification by endpoint, eliminating the need for a calibration standard curve required in quantitative real-time RT-PCR.
