A simple method for the automatic inoculation of broth culture tubes is described. An incubator is plugged into an electrical outlet timer. Heating of the incubator causes wax-like coconut oil to melt and allow an inoculum-coated bead to drop into sterile liquid medium.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) causes significant financial losses in animal farms worldwide. Specific antibody monitoring of FMDV post-vaccination is important for evaluating vaccine efficacy, as well as the prevention and control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). In this study, we developed a fully automatic tubular chemiluminescence immunoassay method based on magnetic particles (A-MPCLIA) to specifically detect antibodies against FMDV serotype A.

Background: Adverse events (AEs) associated with vaccination have traditionally been evaluated by epidemiological studies. More recently, they have gained attention due to the emergency use authorization of several COVID-19 vaccines. As part of its responsibility to conduct postmarket surveillance, the US Food and Drug Administration continues to monitor several AEs of interest to ensure the safety of vaccines, including those for COVID-19.

Background: Long-COVID symptoms remain incompletely defined due to a large heterogeneity in the populations studied, case definitions, and settings of care. The aim of this study was to assess, in patients accessing care for Long-COVID, the profile of symptoms reported, the possible clustering of symptoms and cases, the functional status compared to pre-infection, and the impact on working activity.
Methods: Multicentre cohort study with a collection of both retrospective and prospective data.
