Given the limited information on TTSuV and PCV2 coinfection, especially in Brazilian swine herds, this study made a preliminary estimation of the occurrence of coinfection in swine herds by testing samples from different categories.

A group of researchers at the Center of Molecular Biology Severo Ochoa (CBMSO, Spain) has identified for the first time the whole pathway for african swine fever virus (ASFV) entry, including the key cellular factors required for the uptake of the virus and the cell signaling involved.

Dietary organic acid in fattening pigs may reduce the prevalence of Salmonella at the slaughterhouse.

Current industry chilling practices with and without the application of 2% L-lactic acid were compared for their effectiveness at reducing levels of Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Campylobacter coli on pork variety meats.

Mixing piglets affected by E. coli diarrhea may have a detrimental effect on growth rate.

A dose titration study was conducted using a Lawsonia intracellularis mucosal homogenate model in weaned pigs.

The use of dietary Zn in montmorillonite hybrids for piglet diets improve performance and digestive parameters.

Replacement strategies may have weaknesses that should be addressed to facilitate PRRSV management at the herd and regional levels.

Lysozyme supplementation may reduce the negative impact of Escherichia coli K88 in weanling piglets.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii significantly increased the IgG and IgA concentration of colostrum.

Oral administration of recombinant tobacco seeds expressing antigenic proteins against VTEC strains can induce an increase of mucosal antibodies.

Saponin-enriched diets may affect intestinal permeability but this not alter piglet performance.

These results indicate that, when combined with dual infection by B. bronchiseptica and P. multocida, dietary exposure of pigs to FB1 toxin raises the risk of pneumonia.

The objectives of this study were to compare and characterize the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter in conventional and antimicrobial-free production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment.

Acutely infected pig populations do generate airborne influenza A virus viable particles capable of being exhausted from pig barns and likely disseminated to other farms in the vicinity.

SWE supplementation post-weaning provides a dietary means to improve gut health and to enhance growth performance in starter pigs.
