Measures against virus diseases in organic aquaculture (Project)
Within the project the influence of different disinfection strategies for dealing with ecological fish farms after outbreaks of diseases caused by koi herpesvirus (KHV) and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) should be investigated. Due to the fact that sediments have been believed to act as virus reservoirs, the main focus was directed to the vi-rus adsorbed on them. In order to achieve...

Prevalence and diversity among temperate bacteriophages (prophages) in the genome of methicillin-resistent staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from the food-chain (Project)
The presence of temperent phages (prophages) in Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages greatly influences the pathogenic potential of strains by encoding of virulence factors (such as Panton-Valentin-Leukocidin, enterotoxin A). Among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated in the food chain those, who were assigned to clonal com-plex (CC) 398 do only harbour few...

Molecular Risk Assessment of Shiga Toxin producing E. coli (STEC) from food and of attaching and effacing E. coli (AEEC) in regard to their human virulence and as a reservoir of new emerging enterohaemorrhagic E. coli types (Project)
Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) frequently occur as contaminants of food products during processing ('farm to fork') and may cause disease in human consumers ranging from watery diarrhea to life-threatening hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). To date, over 400 STEC serotypes have been described, but for many STEC types their role as human pathogens remains obscure....

‘Stable Schools’ in German organic dairy farming – a pilot study on a concept for animal health and welfare promotion (Project)
It was the aim of this pilot study to (1) initiate 4 regional stable schools focusing on animal health with in total 19 German organic dairy farms and to assess the farm health status using animal-based indicators as basic information for the stable schools, (2) to evaluate the implementation of measures and improvements of herd health within the three year project period, and (3) to assess the...

Multiplex real-time PCR rapid method for serovar-typing and quantification of salmonellae (Project)
The presence of temperent phages (prophages) in Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages greatly influences the pathogenic potential of strains by encoding of virulence factors (such as Panton-Valentin-Leukocidin, enterotoxin A). Among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated in the food chain those, who were assigned to clonal com-plex (CC) 398 do only harbour few...

MALDI-TOF MS-based identification of microorganisms from complex samples (Project)
Currently, MALDI-TOF MS is intensively evaluated in the field of microbial diagnostics due to its speed and automation capabilities. Extensive application in the fields of clinical and veterinary diagnostics has been prevented by two issues. Firstly, the conventional finger-print-based approach exhibits as a phenotypic method a certain degree of dependency from experimental and biological factors...

Collaborative project: Using multiple sensors to optimize rating in crop production – Subproject 2 (Project)
The use of hyperspectral measurement technology in plant breeding showed following results: Accurate predictive models for the non-destructive detection of the crop parameters (a) biomass fresh, (b) biomass dry, (c) leaf area index, (d) pigment contents: chlorophyll a and b, and carotenoids; and (e) the total nitrogen content have been developed successfully, based on spectral reflectance...

Collaborative project: Development of a rapid chlorophyll fluorescence imaging-based early-detection method of mildew-resistant lettuce lines – Subproject 1 (Project)
In this project, an effective non-invasive method for rapid and early detection and evaluation of downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) resistance in young lettuce plants will be developed. Photosynthetic activity is a proven indicator for early detection of impairment of plants. Especially chlorophyll fluorescence imaging (CFI) is well suited for non-invasive measurement of photosynthetic efficiency....
