Vaccine and epidemiologic studies of Salmonella infections in swine

Abstract

This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter &ce, while others may be from ai^ type of computer printer.The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely a£fect reproduction.In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one ^osure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.

Detection of high serological prevalence and comparison of different tests forSalmonellain pigs in Northern Ireland

“…This finding is contrary to that of Baum (1997), where the mix-ELISA for Salmonella used in the USA correlated with the presence of Salmonella in MLNs by culture. Twomey and others (2010) found a moderate correlation between ELISA of meat juice with Salmonella in pooled faecal samples.…”

“…The results of the present study indicate that there is no correlation between ELISA results from meat juice and bacteriological isolations. This finding is contrary to that of Baum (1997), where the mix‐ELISA for Salmonella used in the USA correlated with the presence of Salmonella in MLNs by culture. Twomey and others (2010) found a moderate correlation between ELISA of meat juice with Salmonella in pooled faecal samples.…”
