Estimated prevalence and impact of periweaning failure to thrive syndrome in Canada and the United States
The within-flow prevalence was reported to be variable (1% to 20%), with cases reported in five provinces and 11 states.
Factors associated with swine influenza virus infection differs according to the subtype
Different factors were specifically associated with either H1N1 or H1N2 SIV infections.
Recombination of PRRS viruses may produce mosaic isolates
Analysis of ORF5 and full-length genome sequences of PRRSV isolates of genotypes 1 and 2 retrieved worldwide provides evidences supporting that recombination is a common phenomenon and may produce mosaic isolates.
Utility of oral fluid sampling and testing for monitoring PEDV in herds
Oral fluids can be used as a sample type to accurately detect the presence and circulation of PEDV in pig herds.
Organic barn dust impairs porcine macrophage function in vitro
Organic dust extract exposure negatively affects pig macrophage activation and function, potentially enhancing host susceptibility to a variety of respiratory infections.

Genetic characterization of influenza A viruses circulating in pigs in Spain
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that they belonged to the lineages ‘‘Avian-Like’’ H1N1, ‘‘Human-Like’’ H3N2, and ‘‘Human-Like’’ H1N2
Placental transmission of porcine circovirus type 2
In conclusion, placental transmission of PCV-2 from a non-immune sow to fetuses is possible when the infection of the dam occurs before gestation or after 62 days of gestation.
Individual risk factors for M. hyo infections in suckling pigs at the age of weaning
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of M. hyopneumoniae infections in suckling pigs of endemically infected herds.
The collection of multiple saliva samples from pigs and the effect on adrenocortical activity
The collection of multiple saliva samples does not affect salivary cortisol concentrations in grower pigs.
Identification of Helicobacter suis in pig-producing regions of the United States
Helicobacter suis is present in US pigs and may be relevant to pig health and production
Effects of inorganic or organic selenium on immunoglobulins in swine
The addition of different sources of Se did not affect the immunoglobulin concentrations in the gilt or piglet.
African Swine Fever
All the information about ASF: how to recognize the disease, how it is transmitted, pictures of lesions, latest news, guides, etc.
Efficacy of single dose of an inactivated PCV2 whole-virus vaccine with oil adjuvant in piglets
The vaccine may have the potential to serve as a vaccine aimed to protect pigs from developing PMWS.
Detection and characterisation of hepatitis E virus in naturally infected swine in Croatia
Nearly all tested animals were seropositive for antibodies against the hepatitis E virus (55/60, 91.7%).
Impact of foot-and-mouth disease on pork and chicken prices in Central Luzon, Philippines
Over the long term, the price margins of pork traders were more severely affected in contrast to that of the other traders’ profits.
Effect of zinc chelate and valnemulin for the treatment of swine dysentery in an experimental challenge study
The results demonstrated therapeutic effect of valnemulin in pigs with serious SD and did not show therapeutic effect of chelated zinc.
