Effect of cross-fostering on transfer of maternal immunity to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to piglets

Russia - Temporary restrictions on import of breeding animals from a number of Danish farms
In 2010 the Rosselkhoznadzor authorized import of 1360 breeding pigs from Denmark to the Belgorodskaya Oblast. The animals were imported in three consignments accompanied with phytosanitary certificates issued by the National Veterinary Service of Denmark according to which the animals were clinically healthy. 320 animals with lesions on legs and limp were detected in the course of the daily clinical examination in the quarantine period.

ArticleImprovement of environmental quality as a method of PRDC prevention
Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) is the result of a complexity of events, including infections, environmental factors and host’s immune system weakness deriving from genetic causes.

Pork producers in US can now vaccinate for mycoplasmal pneumonia at day one.
Intervet/Schering-Plough animal health demonstrates efficacy of simultaneous use of circovirus and mycoplasma vaccines in swine
Simultaneous (mixed) use of existing swine vaccines against porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) from Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health in swine are as efficacious and safe as separate use of these vaccines.
Long-distance airborne transport of infectious PRRSV and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae from a swine population infected with multiple viral variants
Airborne transport of PRRSV 1-8-4 and M hyo 232 occurs over longer distances than previously reported and that both pathogens remained infectious.

A study on the severity and relevance of porcine circovirus type 2 infections in Dutch fattening pigs with respiratory diseases
This study confirms the hypothesis that PCV2 plays a role in pneumonia and pleurisy in 10-24 weeks old fattening pigs, not only in herds with a high prevalence of PMWS, but also in herds with no clinical signs of PMWS.
Diagnosis of Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome
In reproductive disease, submission of several whole affected litters is advisable to provide material for diagnosis of PRRSV and other diseases causing reproductive or neonatal problems.
Diagnostic tests for enzootic pneumonia (Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae)
There are a number of laboratory tests that can be used in the diagnosis of enzootic pneumonia (EP). The choice of test and the approach to the investigation depends on the clinical circumstances and the rationale for doing the testing.
Genetic resistance to disease – An Introduction
The performance and conformation of the pig (the phenotype) depend on the combined effects of its genetic make-up (the genotype), which is mostly fixed at conception, and the environment, which includes health, nutrition, management, housing and climate.
Biosecurity measures to prevent pig farms being infected by wild animals
Wild animals which may spread infection between farms include wild pigs, birds, flies, rats and mice.
Risk and/or triggering factors of porcine circovirus
Between 1995 and 1997, at the beginning of an epizootic called “maladie de l’amagrissement du porcelet” (MAP), it was observed that the farms that were most affected and that had the most losses, generally presented obvious deviations from what we would consider to be a suitable management of the animals and facilities. This is why Dr. François Madec made a list of management practices with the aim of improving the anomalous situation observed.
