The results obtained suggest that E coli not is responsible for NNPD, as also previously concluded.

The present study reflects the complex interaction among different pathogens and their effects in order to trigger PMWS in PCV2 infected pigs.

The last results clearly demonstrate the possibility of protecting pigs against a lethal ASFV challenge by using DNA vaccines encoding 3 of the viral antigens.

CReSA’s researchers have found that H. parasuis can utilize the sialic acid from the host to avoid recognition by the immune system and be able to cause disease.

Serum COB concentrations were lower in pigs with PIA compared to PHE, subclinical proliferative enteropathy, or controls.

To avoid sows shedding eggs into the farrowing facility, treatment should be done at least 14 days prior to movement into the farrowing facility.

The model highlights the importance of the cost of subclinical cases, usually understimated.

Plant extracts may reduce diarrhea impact of piglets challenged with E. coli

When active dry yeast was supplied as a probiotic at 0.3% in the diet of nursery pigs, total fecal coliform counts were lower and proportions of peripheral CD4+, CD4+CD8+, and CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets were higher.

All litters delivered by gilts were affected by NNPD, but the disease was only recorded in one of 8 litters delivered by four- or five-parity sows.

In mid-2011, three pig units in England reported wide hind-limb stance with hind legs splaying outwards, straight hocks and a mild body tremor in 4-11 week old pigs.

The percentage of infections potentially caused by pigs is approximately 0.019% of human infections.

Since the different pig populations never came into contact, the researchers concluded that the environment must be playing a large role in the continuing survival of antibiotic-resistant C. coli.

Citrus by-products does not reduce the negative effect of Salmonella in weanling pigs.

Given the limited information on TTSuV and PCV2 coinfection, especially in Brazilian swine herds, this study made a preliminary estimation of the occurrence of coinfection in swine herds by testing samples from different categories.

A group of researchers at the Center of Molecular Biology Severo Ochoa (CBMSO, Spain) has identified for the first time the whole pathway for african swine fever virus (ASFV) entry, including the key cellular factors required for the uptake of the virus and the cell signaling involved.
