The use of technology in swine farms to help directing PRRS control and elimination efforts
An example on how technology can be implemented in a farm for evaluation of biosecurity compliance using production parameters.
Processing fluids and serum samples to characterize PRRSv dynamics in 3 day-old pigs
Processing fluids (PF) constitute a useful sample to detect PRRSV infections at processing. Current practice to bleed 30 pigs could be underestimating PRRSV prevalence in the herd.
Biosecurity and transboundary animal diseases: Council conclusions
The conclusions highlight the risks posed by the human factor and the role of communication and awareness campaigns in mitigating those risks.
Performance of pigs raised in antibiotic-free or conventional production systems following challenge with PRRSV
In a PRRSV-endemic setting involving bacterial co-infections, an ABF production strategy may leave pigs at considerable risk of exposure to severe clinical disease.
Genus: Strategic porcine collaboration in China
The collaboration, with Beijing Capital Agribusiness Co. Ltd is to research, develop, register and market elite pigs in China that are resistant to PRRS.
TN Tempo copes better with PRRS
Results from this trial highlight the exceptional attributes of TN Tempo-sired pigs that are “bred for toughness”.
The role of international trade and travel in the transboundary spread of pig diseases
As globalization increases the interconnectedness between nations, economies, and industries, the introduction of diseases will continue to remain a prominent threat to the livestock sector and the trade of animals and animal products, as well as the livelihoods of farmers, food security and public health.
PRRS time-to-stability variability in Midwestern US sow herds
Do outbreaks in the same farm have a similar time-to-stability? What factors can affect time-to-stability?
Modelling contamination of trucks used in the shipment of pigs infected with PRRS
Under current biosecurity practices, a substantial risk exists for the spread of PRRS virus due to truck sharing.
Thermo Fisher Scientific launches new generation PRRSV molecular diagnostic kit in swine
VetMAX PRRSV EU & NA 2.0 Kit’s advanced design better detects and differentiates fast-mutating virus strains.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome break recurrence
71% of the farms reporting a PRRS break today will report a break within the following two years. What makes them more susceptible?
Fecal transplantation and prevention of porcine circovirus associated disease
The gut microbiome provides an alternative tool for control and prevention of diseases.
Vaccination of 1-day-old pigs with a PRRSV modified live attenuated virus vaccine is able to overcome maternal immunity
The efficacy of the attenuated PRRSV-1 vaccine in 1-day-old pigs seropositive to PRRSV prior to a PRRSV-1 challenge was demonstrated by improvement of clinical, virological and immunological variables.
PCR limitations in PRRS diagnostics
PCR can detect the virus in virtually any material but, does it mean the sample contains the virus and it is infectious? Is any PCR test valid for any strain?
PRRSV surveillance. How could we track the progress towards PRRS control in our farms?
How can we monitor our program? Which pigs should be sampled? How many? How often should we sequence the virus/es present in our farms?
