PCR and antibody methods: Research compares two cattle feed tests that detect bovine byproduct contaminants
B spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, has now been found in 26 countries including Canada and the United States. The consumption of meat from BSE-infected cattle is believed to have caused the deaths of close to 200 people worldwide, from a disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) (GAO 2005). Furthermore, BSE can have devastating effects on a country’s...
متن کاملUsing metagenomic methods to detect organismal contaminants in microbial materials
6 High sensitivity methods such as next generation sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are adversely impacted by organismal and DNA contaminants. Current methods for detecting contaminants in microbial materials (genomic DNA and cultures) are not sensitive enough and require either a known or culturable contaminant. Therefore, high sensitivity methods not requiring a priori assumptio...
متن کاملDetection of antibody against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis glycoprotein gE in aborted cattle in Mashhad, Iran
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis is a highly contagious disease caused by the bovine herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1), resulting in significant losses to livestock around the world. BoHV-1 is a major pathogen of cattle, primarily associated with respiratory/genital tract infections and abortion. In the present study, we determined the presence of antibodies in 120 serum samples of cattle with the histo...
متن کاملNutritive and antioxidative potential of fresh and stored pomegranate industrial byproduct as a novel beef cattle feed.
Pomegranate peel is a nutritive-rich byproduct whose amounts are extensively growing due to the exponential increase in the production of pomegranate juice and "ready to eat" arils. Pomegranate peel is a rich source for antioxidants and thus may serve in the prevention of cattle diseases and in the improvement of beef products, making it an attractive component in beef cattle diets. The present...
متن کاملDetermination of PCR-ELISA Diagnostic Value in Comparison With Classical Methods and PCR to Detect Resistance to Methacillin
Background and Aims: High prevalence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus isolates (MRSA) as well as the multi-drug resistance in this bacterium causes difficulties in the treatment of infections due to these bacteria. Hence, detection of MRSA isolates by rapid and accurate methods is necessary. PCR-ELISA is an accurate and molecular technique that is used for the detection of several...
