[Rinderpest, Jules Bordet and the serum production center of cureghem]

Rinderpest had an important part in the history of the veterinary medicine. The methods used to control this disease since the beginning of the 18(th) century, are at the source of the principles of hygienic prophylaxis required today to eradicate the contagious animal diseases. Research on prevention of rinderpest stimulated the development of various methods of medical prophylaxis, which leads to the modern stable vaccines. At the beginning of his career, Jules Bordet, Nobel price of physiology and medicine 1919, took part in the research on the prophylactic methods against rinderpest in Transvaal, South Africa. In 1920, Jules Bordet belonged to the commission set up to fight against an accidental outbreak of rinderpest in Belgium. Under the leadership of the Institut Pasteur de Paris, and with the assistance of the french veterinary authorities, he contributed to set up a Serum production center, in the enclosure of the Ecole veterinaire de Cureghem, to study rinderpest and to produce serum. The Office international des epizooties is born from the collaboration between french and belgian veterinary authorities, during this last outbreak of rinderpest in the West

The diagnosis of enzootic bovine leukosis

This paper reviews the clinical and virological diagnostic procedures for enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL). The clinical diagnosis must be always confirmed by a specific laboratory test for Bovine Leukaemia Virus (BLV). Many virological tests were proposed. The sensitivity of all the diagnostic methods is sufficient to do an early detection of a BLV infection on an individual base. Advantages of the highly sensitive methods like RIA and ELISA appear when the samples to be tested have naturally very low antibody titers (individual milk, bulk milk, pooled sera). © 1985.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
