Unlocking the Secrets of Bovine Respiratory Disease with dr. Jade Bokma! 🐄🩺

Ever wondered how we can get ahead of complex infections in cattle? In this latest episode of PITS (Pathogens In The Spotlight), Sebastiaan Theuns sits down with veterinarian and researcher Jade Bokma to dive deep into the world of bovine health and precision diagnostics.

Jade shares her expert perspective on:

👯 The "Synergy" of Disease: Why Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is rarely a solo act and how viruses and bacteria work together to challenge animal health.

🧪 Deep Dive Sampling: The pros and cons of using Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) versus nasopharyngeal swabs to get the most accurate diagnostic picture.

🎯 The Sequencing Revolution: How moving from traditional cultures to Nanopore sequencing is changing the game for rapid, targeted treatment.

🔬 From Lab to Farm: Practical advice on bridging the gap between high-level research and everyday veterinary practice to improve antimicrobial stewardship.

Whether you are a vet in the field, a researcher in the lab, or a producer looking for better health outcomes, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Wrapping up 2025 with a look back at our team-building day!
From volunteering at the local shelter to a scenic boat trip on the Leie, and bonding over games and fries: it was a day to remember. We’ve been so busy with sequencing that we’re only just getting around to sharing this, but we couldn't let the year end without sharing these memories. Better late than sorry! 🍟🛥️ 🐾

23/12/2025

In the next episode of 'Pathogens In The Spotlight' podcast, host Sebastiaan Theuns interviews dr. Jade Bokma, a veterinarian and researcher specializing in bovine health. The conversation focuses on the complexities of diagnosing and managing Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) and the shifting landscape of veterinary diagnostics.

"I always say PathoSense make the sense, because it's really a new tool that is going to help us to understand what's happening here." - Professor Guillermo Ramis

This quote perfectly captures the shift in veterinary diagnostics. Professor Guillermo Ramis, professor Department of Animal Production Murcia University, and Dr. Gabriel Moyano, CTO assistant FarmFaes, shared incredible examples in this episode—from Mycoplasma parvum side-findings to differentiating E. coli virulence factors—that show how deep-sequencing is making sense of complex herd health issues.

But what is the most unexpected or critical pathogen you think traditional diagnostics are currently missing in swine practice? Share your thoughts! 👇

Champions don’t guess, they measure. 🏆

Every fancier knows the frustration: results drop, youngsters go off form, and you start changing the feed or throwing in a cure, hoping it works. But hope is not a strategy.

PathoSense is the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for. Developed at Ghent University, it's a diagnostic revolution. It scans a sample for all active viruses and bacteria, giving you the complete truth about what is happening inside your pigeons.

✅ No more blind antibiotics. ✅ No more missing the real cause. ✅ No more doubt.

If you care about your colony’s future, you need to see this.

🎙️ The Swine Diagnostics Revolution: Lessons from Spain

The Spanish swine industry is at a critical crossroads: fighting highly virulent strains like PRRS Rosalia while managing strict biosecurity and import challenges. But for experts Professor Guillermo Ramis, professor Department of Animal Production Murcia University, and Dr. Gabriel Moyano, CTO assistant FarmFaes, this challenge is the ultimate opportunity for innovation.

In this insightful episode, we dive deep into the Spanish field with two minds—one academic, one industry—who are deploying advanced diagnostics to solve real-world problems.

We explore:

The essential power of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in tracing PRRS recombinations that ORF5 testing misses.

Shocking case studies, including the unexpected detection of sepsis-causing E. coli strains in piglet lungs and the discovery of novel hemoplasmas in breeding stock.

The cutting-edge role of virulence factor detection in designing smarter, more targeted vaccine strategies.

This is a story of how Witty and professional minds are using technology to bring precision to veterinary medicine.

"Dime que tengo." (Tell me what I have.) 🇪🇸 This is the professional challenge that PathoSense is built to solve.

Professor Guillermo Ramis and Dr. Gabriel Moyano explain how traditional diagnostics force vets to blindly "mark a list" of pathogens—potentially missing the actual problem or future threats. With PathoSense, you explore all the DNA and RNA in a sample, meaning you get the complete picture without the guesswork.

Curious how this power translates into case findings? Like detecting lung E. coli or tracing PRRS recombinations? The full story drops soon.
