Pyelonephritis in slaughter pigs and sows: Morphological characterization and aspects of pathogenesis and aetiology

26-Oct-2010
E. coli played a significant role in the aetiology of pyelonephritis. Neutrophils were involved in the first line of defence. CD3ε T-lymphocytes were involved in both the acute and chronic inflammatory response while a humoral immune response was most pronounced in later inflammatory stages. The observed renal lesions correspond with an ascending bacterial infection with presence of intra-renal reflux.

Use of a production region model to evaluate aerosol transmission and biosecurity of PRRSV and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae: Results from a 3-year study

08-Oct-2010
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M hyo) are re-emerging diseases of pigs and growing threats to the global swine industry. For sustainable disease control, it is critical to prevent the spread of these pathogens between pig populations; therefore, a clear understanding of the role of aerosol transmission is needed along with information on how to reduce this risk.
