Harrisvaccines to develop FMD vaccine
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has awarded Harrisvaccines a $1 million-plus contract to develop a vaccine for foot-and-mouth disease, one of the world’s most economically devastating animal diseases.
Effect of the viraemia due to the porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) on production parameters
The most effective way of avoiding the production losses associated with the PCV2 consists in avoiding the appearance of the viraemia by inducing a passive or an active immunity that minimizes the circulation of the virus in the farm.
Oral immunization of weaned piglets with tobacco seeds expressing antigenic proteins of VTEC
Oral administration of recombinant tobacco seeds expressing antigenic proteins against VTEC strains can induce an increase of mucosal antibodies.
Regional PRRS control with an autogenous vaccination strategy
Regional vaccination with an autogenous killed vaccine did not effectively reduce the number of PRRSV related crises in the vaccinated farms.
Dynamics of influenza transmission in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pig populations
The objective of this study was to determine transmission parameters for an H1N1 influenza virus in vaccinated and non-vaccinated populations of pigs and assess the effect of vaccination on influenza transmission.
Estimation of time-dependent infectiousness of pigs infected by the PRRSV
The evolution of infectiousness was mainly correlated with the course of viral genome load in blood.
The impact of MDI on influenza virus transmission in neonatal pig populations
This study indicates that vaccine induced maternal immunity may be able to reduce influenza virus transmission in population settings; however, the impact will depend on the priming antigen.
Storage and handling - Key to effective vaccination program
A vaccine program can help prevent many potential problems for producers. However, if vaccines aren't stored and handled correctly, the program can be ineffective.
Virbac enters in a new technology alliance in food-producing animals vaccines

Sensitivity of oral fluids for detecting influenza A virus in populations of vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs
This study evaluates the sensitivity of PCR on oral fluids in detecting influenza virus in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs.
Controlling disease in young pigs
Mycoplasmal pneumonia and porcine circovirus are two of the costliest diseases affecting pork producers. Helping provide protection before disease exposure is critical to the success of any vaccination program.

Effect of porcine circovirus type 2 vaccine on postweaning performance and carcass composition
PCV2 vaccination has a large impact on growth rate and on the proportion of pigs going to primary markets, but not on carcass fat depth, loin depth, or percent lean, measurements that are used to determine market value.
