Detection of Avian Influenza Virus from Cloacal Swabs Using a Disposable Well Gate FET Sensor

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2017
Current methods to detect avian influenza viruses (AIV) are time consuming and lo inw sensitivity, necessitating a faster and more sensitive sensor for on‐site epidemic detection in poultry farms and urban population centers. This study reports a field effect transistor (FET) based AIV sensor that detects nucleoproteins (NP) within 30 minutes, down to ...

Elucidating shark diets with DNA metabarcoding from cloacal swabs

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021
AbstractAnimal dietary information provides the foundation for understanding trophic relationships, which is essential for ecosystem management. Yet, in marine systems, high‐resolution diet reconstruction tools are currently under‐developed. This is particularly pertinent for large marine vertebrates, for which direct foraging behaviour is difficult or

DETECTION OF SALMONELLA IN YOUNG CHICKS WITH CLOACAL SWABS

Advanced Food and Nutritional Sciences, 2020
Background: A non-destructive method such as a cloacal swab is very important to the poultry industry because it allows the breeder companies to determine if Salmonella is present in the valuable breeder chicks without the necessity of sacrificing any birds.Objective: To evaluate a nondestructive procedure to detect the presence of Salmonella in ...

Chicken parvovirus viral loads in cloacal swabs from malabsorption syndrome-affected and healthy broilers

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2016
Chicken parvovirus (ChPV) has been associated with malabsorption syndrome (MAS) in broilers. However, the participation of this virus in such syndrome is unclear, since it may be detected in diseased and healthy chickens. In the course of these studies, it was argued whether ChPV genome loads might be correlated to the occurrence of MAS.

Cloacal and buccal swabs are a reliable source of DNA for microsatellite genotyping of reptiles

Conservation Genetics, 2006
In this study, a minimally invasive method for DNA sampling of reptiles and amphibians using cloacal and buccal swabs is described. High molecular weight DNA was isolated from the swabs, which were collected from tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus), and stored in 70% ethanol at room temperature for approximately 1 week.

Evaluating Buccal and Cloacal Swabs for Ease of Collection and Use in Genetic Analyses of Marine Turtles

Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2012
Abstract Buccal and cloacal swabs have been used for genetic sampling for a variety of reptiles but not for marine turtles to date. We evaluated whether this method offers a simple and quick way to sample cells from live marine turtles in the wild when it is not feasible to obtain blood or skin.

Salmonella enteritidis in eggs, cloacal swab specimens, and internal organs of experimentally infected White Leghorn chickens

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1996
Abstract Objective To investigate prevalence of Salmonella enteritidis-positive eggs, excretion of the organism in fecal droppings, and infection of internal organs after oral inoculation of White Leghorn hens with S enteritidis phage type 8. Animals 30 White Leghorn laying hens.

Prevalence of Ranavirus in Virginia Turtles as Detected by Tail-Clip Sampling Versus Oral-Cloacal Swabbing

Northeastern Naturalist, 2013
Ranaviruses are emerging infectious diseases that infect amphibians, fish, and reptiles. Several cases of morbidity and mortality in captive and natural populations of reptiles have been attributed to ranaviruses, but research in this taxon has been limited. We used oral-cloacal swabs and tail clips to survey two species, Chrysemys picta picta (Eastern
