Aim: The purpose of this work was to identify and genetically characterize enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) O80:H2 from diarrhoeic and septicaemic calves in Belgium and to comparing them with human EHEC after whole genome sequencing. Methods and Results: Ten EHEC and 21 EPEC O80 identified by PCR between ...
Afin de fournir des pistes pour l’amélioration de l’alimentation des poulets, l’incorporation d’une ressource alimentaire non conventionnelle disponible au Gabon, à savoir les lombrics, est envisagée. La première partie de l’étude consiste en une présentation du ver de terre Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg, à travers une revue des connaissances sur cette...
The aims of the current study were to characterize the main clinical consequences of diarrhea and to identify metabolic disorders due to this neonatal disease in newborn calves (≤30 days of age). Forty seven calves of two selected dairy herds in the province of Constantine were involved in this study. Clinical examination and analysis of blood samp...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-observer agreement in the evaluation of sharpness loss at the subchondral/trabecular bone interface of the proximal subchondral bone plate of the proximal phalanx, and lateromedial asymmetry of the proximal subchondral bone plate of the proximal phalanx, as indicators of SCB sclerosis. The ...
The objective of this study was to compare ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging features of the facies flexoria in 13 cadaver limbs with no known history of lameness. Overall, fibrocartilage thickness was better assessed on MR images, but this modality presented a high number of false-positive results. Ultrasonography had a poorer sensit...
A 19 months old Belgian Blue heifer was referred to the Veterinary Clinic of Liege University. The heifer was 2 months pregnant by artificial insemination performed by the farmer, and presented hyperthermia, anorexia and weight loss. Rectal palpation revealed a large, depressible abdominal mass. Diagnosis of parietal fibrinous peritonitis (PFP) was...
