Evaluating the duration of a swine breeding herd PRRSV-free status and its relationship with measured risk

The article suggests measuring external risks in order to compare swine farms based on a numerical figure, and thus initiate corrective measures to improve and numerically verify the improvements achieved.

Clinical case: I'm getting abnormal piglets

This article describes a new syndrome in pigs that causes external and internal birth defects, especially in the liver and heart.

Air filtration systems for preventing PRRSV infection in large sow herds

This type of investment may not be crazy when it comes to protecting farms with high genetic value (others are dependent on) or insemination centres.

Oral fluids in PRRS diagnosis

Diagnosis in oral fluids is indicated for the control of replacements on arrival and after the adaptation process, and of the different production batches, especially risk subpopulations such as animals with a slow growth rate.

The role of insects in the transmission of PRRSv

Flies are not usually seen as a real risk of infection between farms unless we're talking about very high-density areas. However, flies can travel long distances if captured when collecting carcasses.

How does PCV2 contribute to enteric problems?

Recently, PCV2 has been suggested as a pathogen able to induce diarrhoea in pigs, and PCV2-enteric disease (PCV2-ED) as a separate entity within porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs) has been proposed.

The role of fomites and personnel in the transmission of PRRSV

Biosecurity measures for visitors should be implemented in all farms without exception, and hand washing with soap and subsequent disinfection should be compulsory in those farms where showering is not.

The role of transport vehicles in the transmission of PRRSV

How can we tell whether a transport vehicle is clean by just taking a glimpse?

Clinical case: Edema disease on fattening pigs (70-80 kg)

We concluded an Edema disease episode, which is extremely unusual at this age.

2

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...

2

Interaction between PRRSV and Streptococcus suis

PRRSV favours the appearance of secondary infections like the one caused by S. suis due to the impairment of the alveolar macrophages cleaning functions.

2

Clinical case: Sudden death of replacement gilts a few days after delivery

Carcasses showed a good body condition and a pronounced cyanosis in the area of the ventral abdomen and the ventral throat.

1

Long-distance airborne transport of infectious PRRSV and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

Surrounding holdings with high hedge fences reduces the risk of airborne transmission.

2

Interaction between PRRSV and H. parasuis

PRRSV does not favour infection by H. parasuis by reducing the population of alveolar macrophages, but by reducing their ability to inactivate the bacteria.

Clinical case: Control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

This clinical case study tracks the long term pattern and control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) disease in a breeder feeder farm through the 1990’s.

2

Interaction between PRRS and App

App control is an essential link to control pleuroneumonia in PRRS-positive herds.

2

Transmission routes, control and prevention of PRRS

PRRS virus infection can be considered common in areas of high pig density and, in such cases, the idea that biosecurity and can do little is widespread. However, proper biosecurity measures must be implemented in order to prevent the introduction of new strains.

Importance of sequential order of coinfection by PRRSV and PCV2

This article proves that, at least "in vitro" order matters. In PRRSV/PCV2 mixed infections, the consequences are worse when PRRSV infection occurs before or concurrently to PCV2 infection, than when the sequence is reversed.

Interaction between PRRSV and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

Since a vast majority of commercial farms are endemically infected with M. hyopneumoniae, the control measures applied against PRRS should include measures against M. hyopneumoniae.

PCV2 viraemia, a load-dependent effect on average daily weight gain during the postweaning period

The loss associated with decreased ADWG was of 13.1 € and 7.5 €/pig at 21 weeks of age for pigs with high and medium serum PCV2 load under the scenario studied.

PRRS clinical aspects: epidemic and endemic phases

In areas with a high density of pigs, a large proportion of farms are endemically infected. In these situations, the group at the highest risk is the gilts.
