Members of the 30- to 32-Kilodalton Mycolyl Transferase Family (Ag85) from Culture Filtrate of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Are Immunodominant Th1-Type Antigens Recognized Early upon Infection in Mice and Cattle
Valérie Rosseels,Sylvie Marché,Virginie Roupie,Marc Govaerts,Jacques Godfroid,Karl Walravens,Kris Huygen +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the M. avium subsp.

Development and validation of a triplex real-time PCR for rapid detection and specific identification of M. avium sub sp. paratuberculosis in faecal samples
Leonid M. Irenge,Karl Walravens,Marc Govaerts,Jacques Godfroid,Valérie Rosseels,Kris Huygen,Jean-Luc Gala +6 more
TL;DR: The TRT-PCT was rapid, specific and displayed a very high sensitivity for Map detection in faecal samples compared to conventional methods.

Antigen discovery: A postgenomic approach to paratuberculosis diagnosis
Baptiste Leroy,Virginie Roupie,Isabelle Noël-Georis,Valérie Rosseels,Karl Walravens,Marc Govaerts,Kris Huygen,Ruddy Wattiez +7 more
TL;DR: A large‐scale postgenomic analysis of MAP proteins is undertaken, to identify specific antigens that could potentially improve the diagnosis of paratuberculosis.

Serologic screening for 13 infectious agents in roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) in Flanders
Paul Tavernier,Stanislas Sys,Kris De Clercq,Ilse De Leeuw,Anne Brigitte Caij,Miet De Baere,Nick De Regge,David Fretin,Virginie Roupie,Marc Govaerts,Paul Heyman,Daisy Vanrompay,Lizi Yin,Isabelle Kalmar,Vanessa Suin,Bernard Brochier,Alexandre Dobly,Stéphane De Craeye,Sophie Roelandt,Els Goossens,Stefan Roels +20 more
TL;DR: Roe deer do not seem to play an important role in the epidemiology of the examined zoonotic and domestic animal pathogens, and their meaning as sentinels should not be neglected in the absence of other wild cervid species.
45
Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of DNA vaccines encoding MAP0586c and MAP4308c of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis secretome
Virginie Roupie,Baptiste Leroy,Valérie Rosseels,Virginie Piersoel,Isabelle Noël-Georis,Marta Romano,Marc Govaerts,Jean-Jacques Letesson,Ruddy Wattiez,Kris Huygen +9 more
TL;DR: Evaluated the vaccine potential of two MAP proteins, i.e. MAP0586c and MAP4308c, and found that this putative transglycosylase is an interesting vaccine candidate that warrants further investigation.
