Acetylsalicylic acid is efficacious, at least to reduce fever, as an adjunct to antibacterial treatment of PRDC.

The garlic-derived volatile allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) as a lead compound of volatile garlic metabolites was shown to exhibit an antibacterial effect against the pig pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9.

The evolution of infectiousness was mainly correlated with the course of viral genome load in blood.

This study indicates that vaccine induced maternal immunity may be able to reduce influenza virus transmission in population settings; however, the impact will depend on the priming antigen.

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.

A herd-based survey of Salmonella in pigs was carried in a major pig producing region of Spain. Mesenteric lymph nodes were collected from the carcasses of 25 pigs from each of 80 herds at time of slaughter.

The results presented here predict that MRSA is present on a large number of pig farms in Croatia.

These observations suggest a delay in the production of PCV2-specific antibodies and indicate that serological methods may be helpful in identifying herds with a high risk of PMWS.

The results indicate that administration of a Salmonella choleraesuis-attenuated vaccine on the first day of life decreases Salmonella isolation and seroprevalence in pigs at slaughter.

F4 fimbriae are highly associated with diarrhoea in piglets of all age groups whereas F18 fimbriae are associated with diarrhoea in piglets from late stages of suckling to post-weaning.

Increased dietary ZnO could lead to an increased competition among enterobacteria and, consequently, reduce the occurrence of pathogenic E. coli strains.

All filter types equally reduced the risk of airborne transmission of both pathogens, compared to non-filtered controls, supporting further application in the field.

80 g/kg dietary inulin may protect pigs against developing swine disentery by modifying the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract.

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.

Under the conditions of this study, in-feed tiamulin hydrogen fumerate produces a positive clinical benefit in pigs experiencing PRDC or experimentally challenged with M hyo.

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.
