Transmission of influenza A viruses between pigs and people, Iowa, 2002–2004

29-Oct-2010
Swine workers had serologic evidence for infection with both swine and human influenza viruses and were exposed to diverse influenza virus strains circulating in pigs. Influenza virus surveillance among pigs and swine workers should be encouraged to better understand cross-species transmission and diversity of influenza viruses at the human-swine interface.

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.
