Interaction between PRRSV and respiratory coronavirus or influenza virus
Enric Marco tells us that of late, it is relatively common to see fattening pigs in their final phase exhibiting respiratory symptoms that respond poorly to antibiotic treatments. In these cases, we usually think of PRRS virus; however raising the possibility of a mixed viral infection is less frequent...
Pathogenesis of Influenza A virus infection in swine
A perfect antigenic match is ideal because it will result in little to no virus replication/damage, shedding or clinical signs. However, if the virus is similar enough to have cross-reaction, the infection can be reduced to as few as 2-4 days.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections: clinical signs and diagnosis
Cross-sectional sampling (different age groups during one herd visit) has the advantage that results are obtained quickly.
Swine influenza viruses: mechanisms of evolution and current diversity in European pigs
Four virus lineages, having clearly distinguishable HA, are currently co-circulating in European pigs and can be considered as enzootic viruses, even if their relative prevalence and level of incidence vary from one country to another.
Clinical case: Outbreaks of respiratory and reproductive disorder in a pig farm
After the clinical and serological evaluation it is decided to vaccinate against PRRSV, with which we achieve a gradual improvement in the health status on the farm. Some months later, a severe cough appears in the fattening pigs that later also appears in the nursery and in the sows.
Evaluation of pig pleuritis at the slaughterhouse
The abattoir is a useful endpoint to collect data on herd health status and a valuable tool for monitoring the effect of disease control measures.

Clinical case: Severe respiratory disease in weaned piglets
A cough outbreak appeared in 8-9 weeks old piglets. It apparently was a "normal" outbreak that could be solved with a few days of antibiotic but the pigs did not respond to the treatment.
