Seroprevalence evolution of selected pathogens in wild boar
A total of 1279 Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) sera were collected from 2000 to 2011 to reveal time changes in serum antibody prevalences against selected infectious agents (PCV2, PRRSV, HEV and Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
Clinical case: A PRRS Case
This case starts with abortions that occur dramatically in April. They begin on Saturday the 23rd and during the following week continue until reaching 34 abortions.
A four-year summary of air filtration system efficacy for preventing airborne spread of PRRS and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
All filter types equally reduced the risk of airborne transmission of both pathogens, compared to non-filtered controls, supporting further application in the field.
Disease drives Vietnam's meat imports up 30%
Meat imports into Vietnam jumped 30% to 107,000 tonnes in 2011, reflecting that blue ear disease (PRRS) and cross border trade of live pigs during the year resulted in a sharp drop in the country's meat supplies.
Canada: Government helps keep pork industry healthy
The investment of $294,500 under the CAAP will provide tools, coordination and funds to initiate small-scale projects for controlling and eradicating PRRS.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus: area regional control and elimination, the next level
The objectives of this abstract are to present the methodology followed in PRRS area regional control and elimination (ARCE) projects in the United States and to report the advancement of these projects.
Survey of pleuritis and pulmonary lesions in pigs at abattoir with a focus on the extent of the condition and herd risk factors
A total of 4889 animals, ranging in age from 9 to 10months, from 48 batches of pigs belonging to an equal number of herds, were included in the study.

NewsThe Epidemiology of PRRS in England: current control measures are not effective
According to the results of the thesis presented to The Royal Veterinary College, University of London: "The Epidemiology of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in England: and evaluation of surveillance using scenario tree analysis", current control measures are not effective and that surveillance needs enhancement.
Western Canada PRRS-free herd certification expanded to Ontario and Quebec
A pilot project designed to allow pork producers in Western Canada to certify that their herds are free of PRRS has been expanded to include Ontario and Quebec.
A one-night downtime period prevents the spread of PRRS and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae by personnel and fomites
This paper summarizes observations recorded over a 4-year period regarding the ability of a 1-night period of downtime to prevent mechanical spread of PRRS and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae between pig populations by personnel and fomites.
Microbiological identification and analysis of swine tonsils collected from carcasses at slaughter
The primary objective of this 7-month study was to determine the prevalence of porcine pathogens of the tonsil of the soft palate, principle tonsil of the pig, of swine at slaughter.
The impact of air filtration on PRRS control in 7 breeding herds from a commercial system of swine production
The filtering of incoming air to swine facilities located in dense regions of production has been proposed as a means to reduce the risk of airborne transport of PRRSV.
PRRSV in serum and oral fluid samples from individual boars: will oral fluid replace serum for PRRSV surveillance?
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether oral fluid samples could be used to monitor individually-housed adult boars for PRRSV infection.
PRRSV enhances PCV2a and PCV2b replication and duration of shedding
The objectives of this study were to determine if co-infection of piglets with PRRSV and PCV2 has any affect on PCV2 shedding characteristics and if there are differences in shedding patterns between PCV2 subtypes (PCV2a and PCV2b) in co-infected pigs.
Oral fluids - Sampling
Over the last several years, new sampling, monitoring and diagnostic tools for the swine industry that are faster, simpler and more cost effective have been developed and validated. One of these techniques is the sampling and use of oral fluids (saliva) as specimens for diagnostics in swine.
