Evaluation of blood parameters as an early assessment of health status in nursery pigs

On the basis of the results of this study, it is possible that unthrifty nursery pigs may be identified by blood chemistry analysis at a time when they are showing no outward signs of disease.

Interest of the serological tests related to PCV2

Given the high prevalence of the infection due to the PCV2 and its presence in healthy and sick animals, the serological tests against this pathogen have been questioned as a diagnostic test.

Pathogenicity: why are some strains pathogenic while some are not?

The factors of virulence allow the pathogenic strains to survive inside the animal and cause the infection, while the non-virulent strains lack these factors and can only survive in the upper respiratory tract as colonisers.
