  • Teratogenicity of a mutagenised Rift Valley fever virus (MVP 12) in sheep 
    Hunter, P.; Erasmus, B.J.; Vorster, J.H. (Jan Harm); Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)
    A 5-fluorouracil mutagenised Rift Valley fever virus strain, which was shown to be attenuated and immunogenic in cattle and sheep, was evaluated for its ability to cause teratogenic effects in pregnant sheep. A group of ...
  • Validation of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibody against Brucella abortus in cattle sera using an automated ELISA workstation 
    Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Prozesky, Leon; Potts, A.D.; Harris, H.J.; Smith, S.J.; Viljoen, Gerrit Johannes; Dungu, B.; Brett, O.L.; Bubb, M.; Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)
    An automated indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) for the serological diagnosis of bovine brucellosis was developed and validated in-house. A total of 4803 cattle sera from South Africa ( n=3 643), Canada ...
  • Virulence of South African isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum. Part 1: NAD-dependent field isolates 
    Bragg, R.R. (Robert Richard); Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)
    The virulence of four South African field isolates of NAD-dependent Haemophilus paragallinarum, representing the four serovars known to occur in that country, was investigated. During this study an alternative challenge ...
  • Virulence of South African isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum. Part 2: Naturally occurring NAD-independent field isolates 
    Bragg, R.R. (Robert Richard); Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)
    Naturally occurring NAD-independent variants of Haemophilus paragallinarum, which have been isolates from poultry showing clinical signs of infectious coryza, were used to determine their virulence using a newly developed ...
  • Virulence of South African isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum. Part 3: Experimentally produced NAD-independent isolate 
    Taole, M.; Albertyn, J.; Van Heerden, E.; Bragg, R.R. (Robert Richard); Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)
    A NAD-dependent isolate 46 (C-3) of Haemophilus paragallinarum, which was previously demonstrated to be of high virulence, was transformed to NAD independence using a plasmid isolated from a naturally occurring NAD-independent ...
  • Water absorption in relation to fermentation in the colon of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) 
    Musara, C.; Chamunorwa, Joseph Panashe; Holtug, K.; Skadhauge, E.; Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)
    The colon is a major site for fermentation and water absorption in the ostrich. Water absorption along the colon was evaluated and its relationship to osmolality, Na+ concentration, short chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentration ...
