Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat from sheep and goats [PDF]
A risk ranking process identified Toxoplasma gondii and pathogenic verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) as the most relevant biological hazards for meat inspection of sheep and goats. As these are not detected by traditional meat inspection, a

Estimating prevalence and diagnostic test characteristics of bovine cysticercosis in Belgium in the absence of a ‘gold standard’ reference test using a Bayesian approach [PDF]
A Bayesian model was developed to estimate values for the prevalence and diagnostic test characteristics of bovine cysticercosis (Taenia saginata) by combining results of four imperfect tests.
