Diagnostic perspectives on mesocolon edema syndrome of neonatal pigs: laboratory case incidence in the north central United States (2002-2011)
Annualized data analysis suggested that MES has become more prevalent as a cause of neonate pig diarrhea over this interval, and that this rise in prevalence has been due to an increasing presence of C. perfringens.
Protective effect of the maternally derived porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-specific cellular immune response in piglets by dam vaccination against PCV2 challenge
Maternally derived adaptive cellular immune responses play a critical role in protecting newborn piglets challenging PCV2 at 3 weeks of age.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, and Listeria species isolated from swine processing facilities in Colombia
Resistance to clindamycin and ciprofloxacin are shared between L monocytogenes and untyped Listeria. Although erythromycin is a drug of choice for prophylaxis in Colombian swine, resistance is low.
Emergency vaccination alleviates highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection after contact exposure
These results indicated that emergency vaccination could effectively alleviate HPPRRSV infection during experimental contact exposure.
PMWS: Disease progression and a proposal for herd case definition
Two conditions must be fulfilled to diagnose PMWS in a herd: a significant increase in postweaning mortality and PMWS must be diagnosed in at least one of three to five necropsied pigs.
Increased viral load and prevalence of Torque teno sus virus 2 in pigs experimentally infected with classical swine fever virus
This study further supports the association of TTSuV2 with disease occurrence.
Effect of sow and piglet porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccination on piglet mortality, viraemia, antibody titre and production parameters
PCV2 vaccination was able to overcome this interference since the ADWG was improved.
Mannan oligosaccharide modulates the immune responses in weanling pigs
Feeding mannan oligosaccharide may activate immunity against PRRSV.
Potential use of oral fluid samples for serological diagnosis of African swine fever
These results confirmed the presence of ASFV antibodies in swine oral fluids samples, the possibility of an oral fluid-based approach in ASF diagnosis and, potentially in ASF surveillance.
Concentration of airborne Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA) in pig farms
The aim of this study was to assess the potential occupational risk of working with Staphylococcus aureus-colonized pigs in Switzerland.
African swine fever in the Russian Federation: Spatio-temporal analysis and epidemiological overview
Anthropogenic factors play the leading role in the spread of ASF across the territory of the Russian Federation.
Culturing and molecular methods to assess the infectivity of porcine circovirus from treated effluent of swine manure.
PCV2 viruses were able to resist the regular wastewater treatment.
Relationship between biosecurity measures and production, health and treatment in pig herds
It is generally believed that biosecurity measures in pig production improve performance and health status of the pigs, but limited quantitative data is available to support this hypothesis.
Simultaneous PCV2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae co-inoculation does not potentiate disease in conventional pigs
Under the conditions of the present study, concurrent inoculation of PCV2 and Mhyo did not result in potentiation of clinical signs and lesions attributed to either infection.
Detection of tick Ornithodoros moubata, which transmit the African swine fever to pigs
The method, based on the detection of antibodies to the TSGP1 protein, could help to localize the tick populations and, especially, to obtain a risk map of African swine fever.
