Findings suggest that concentrated swine feeding operations amplified transmission of influenza during years in which H1N1 was circulating.

In the year following the outbreak, the same PRRSV strain was identified repeatedly in different regions of Austria. It can be speculated that the new strain has novel advantageous properties.

L-glutamine supplementation improves intestinal health, nutrient digestibility and performance in weanling pigs.

Dietary choline deficiency induces alterations in plasma choline metabolites which are evident at the end of lactation. Betaine and select FAs in milk are sensitive to maternal dietary choline deficiency and day of lactation. Alterations in concentrations of these nutrients may affect early-life neonatal development.

Our data shows that natural infection by contact induces remarkably high innate and adaptive immune response, although the animals were exposed to a very low virus dose.

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae pre-infection affected neither the influenza virus replication nor the IFN-induced antiviral responses in lungs. However, it predisposed the animals to a higher inflammatory response to H1N1 infection.

NADC30-like PRRSV has widely spread in China and could cause clinical disease on pigs.

This study identified preventable routes of MRSA CC398 introduction and transmission: human occupational exposure, trade of pigs and livestock transport vehicles.

The newly developed LFA allows rapid and reliable detection of ASFV, at field and laboratory level, providing a new useful tool for control programs and in situations where laboratory support and skilled personnel are limited.

In the presence of high MDA levels, piglets immunized with four commercial PCV2 vaccines showed a significantly reduction of PCV2 infected pigs, viral load...

ESBL-producing E. coli isolates with the same β-lactamase genes, antibiotic resistance profiles, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus types, and multilocus sequence types were detected in both pigs and workers on the same pig farm.

Statistical analysis showed that PRRSV may have a synergistic effect with TTSuV1, and promote the replication and proliferation of TTSuV1.

Pigs in this study appeared to respond very similarly between the IN and IM routes at the time of processing when boosted at weaning by the IM route.

This is the first report to 1) identify a novel porcine pestivirus associated with CT and 2) successfully reproduce CT following inoculation of fetuses in utero.

The estimated impact of PCV-2 vaccination revealed a highly significant decline in total antimicrobial drug use on finishing farms.

Intervention strategies targeting sows would likely have a beneficial effect in reducing the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in primary pig production.
