The present study provided important information on SIV surveillance that will enable better understanding of SIV ecology in farrow-to-finish farms.

Experimental infection of Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovars Panama was proceeded to establish the importance of nose-to-nose contact in the transmission among weaned pigs.

This paper summarizes observations recorded over a 4-year period regarding the ability of a 1-night period of downtime to prevent mechanical spread of PRRS and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae between pig populations by personnel and fomites.

The role of zinc oxide in improving piglet health is via a different mechanism to that previously proposed.

The aim of this study was to characterize the potential of pig-associated Diptera flies to carry Lawsonia intracellularis.

This study evaluates the sensitivity of PCR on oral fluids in detecting influenza virus in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs.

The primary objective of this 7-month study was to determine the prevalence of porcine pathogens of the tonsil of the soft palate, principle tonsil of the pig, of swine at slaughter.

PCV2 vaccination has a large impact on growth rate and on the proportion of pigs going to primary markets, but not on carcass fat depth, loin depth, or percent lean, measurements that are used to determine market value.

Two hundred and five isolates of Pasteurella multocida from pigs were phenotypically and genetically characterised by determining their biovar, capsular type, virulence-associated genes and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles.

The susceptibility to an initial challenge and a re-challenge inoculation with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was analysed in pigs that were treated with antimicrobials of different efficacies following the first exposure to A. pleuropneumoniae.

In the present study, virus replication and pathology were examined in porcine foetuses, inoculated with two PCV1 strains at 55 days of gestation.

This study investigated the infection pattern and lung lesion development in pigs caused by a low and highly virulent Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strain.

The filtering of incoming air to swine facilities located in dense regions of production has been proposed as a means to reduce the risk of airborne transport of PRRSV.

The objective of this report is to summarize the diagnostic investigation in a PFTS-affected farm with emphasis on identifying potential infective etiologies.

Fourteen European laboratories are investigating fruit, vegetable, shellfish and pork food supply chains for specified viral contamination. The VLA role was to investigate HEV contamination in the pork food chain in England.

The objective of this study was to determine Ro of flu in non-immune populations and in populations of pigs vaccinated with homologous or heterologous vaccines and to assess how vaccination may affect transmission.
