Quebec: Detection of bovine lymphotropic herpesvirus DNA in tissues of a bovine aborted fetus.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
of Montreal initiated a research project to investigate the etiological agents involved in cow abortion in Quebec, Canada.Several reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and PCR-based assays were done on placenta and tissues of aborted fetuses that were submitted to the MBDL for the detection of bovine pathogens that are known to be involved in abortion such as bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), infectious bovine rhinotracheatis herpesvirus (IBR), Neospora caninum, Leptospira spp.and Coxiella burnetii (1, 2).From the 26 submitted cases of bovine abortion that were tested, none were positive for BVDV and Leptospira spp., whereas 3.8%, 11.5%, and 3.8% were positive for IBR, Neospora caninum, and Coxiella burnetii, respectively (Table 1).In addition to the usual PCR assays, a pan-herpesvirus nested-PCR assay, which is able to detect a broad spectrum of herpesvirus species, was conducted on placenta and pooled tissues of aborted fetuses as previously described (3).Briefly, DNA was extracted from samples with the QIAamp DNA mini kit (QIAGEN, Mississauga, Ontario) according to the manufacturer's tissue protocol.The PCR was carried out in a Biometra T3 thermocycler with the QIAGEN Fast Cycling PCR kit according to the manufacturer's specification with a set of 3 primers (DFA, ILK, and KG1).Amplification conditions

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
