Veterinary Diagnostic Center

Matt Hille (left) and Dustin Loy look over a culture of Moraxella bovis in the Veterinary Diagnostic Center lab. M. bovis is the primary bacterium that causes bovine pinkeye. Hille and Loy, scientists in the School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, have published significant journal articles about the disease this year. Photos for Geitner Simmons story.

Frank Billings, a veterinary pathologist in the early days of the University of Nebraska, drew these images of bovine pinkeye for an 1889 article that provided the first scientific description of the disease and associated bacteria. Dustin Loy, a professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, keeps the drawings in his office as he continues to study the disease. Photos for Geitner Simmons story.

Each of the samples collected at one of the COVID test sites on the three campuses have an individual bar code. The samples are brought to the Veterinary Diagnostic Center where each sample is scanned. Each sample placed in the tray stays consistent throughout the process.

Robert Witkowski taps treated saliva samples for ease of pipetting the samples to the PCR plate for the actual testing. Once the virus has been killed in the pipetting lab, the samples are transferred to the PCR plate for testing. The PCR workstations are not vented since the virus is dead but are enclosed so no DNA contamination occurs.
