This work represents the first report of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis from caseous lymphadenitis lesions in Black Alentejano pig and alerts for the importance of the establishment of suitable control and sanitary management practices

Respiratory and diarrhoeal conditions were mentioned most frequently (>60 per cent) for antibiotic prescribing in pigs.

Co-infection with PRRSV enforces clinical signs of PMWS, the influence of other viral co-infections is not clear.

Bacillus licheniformis and Sodium Butyrate may reduce the colonization of Salmonella in piglets.

Possible modifications to farm type and pig flow should be considered when constructing IAV control and prevention strategies.

A single descendant of a PVL-positive methicillin-sensitive ancestor circulating in sub-Saharan Africa rose to become the dominant CA-MRSA clone in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

An Italian study investigated the intestinal bacterial diversity of healthy pigs with different susceptibility to ETEC and fed different Trp levels.

Results suggest that clinical outbreaks of A. pleuropneumoniae are unlikely to be caused only by spread of the pathogen by clinically diseased pigs.

The results indicates no evidence of infectivity of the PEDV RNA in the SDPP lot utilized.

Taken together, swab samples could be recommended as a pragmatic approach to sample fallen wild boar.

Pigs can readily induce adaptive mutational changes to a precursor pandemic-like virus to transform it into a highly virulent and infectious form akin to that of the pandemic H1N1/2009 virus.

Data on this article provide proof of concept that contaminated feed pellets (complete feed) can serve as a vehicle for PEDV infection of naïve pigs using natural feeding behavior.

The authors have demonstrated that PEDV can become airborne, remain infectious while suspended in the air, and that PEDV genetic material can be transported long distances following natural infections.

These results provide practical information for treatment of M hyorhinis infection in pigs.

The presence of pathogens in feral pigs in such close proximity to commercial piggeries could pose a biosecurity risk.

The aim of the present study was to determine risk factors for lameness development within the first days of group-housing, with a focus on housing conditions, management and post-mixing aggression in sows.
