Genomic sequencing and analysis of a new PRRSv isolate from Ohio: virus continues change
This study highlights the importance of continued monitoring of PRRSV evolution using genomic sequencing.
Perú starts vaccination against swine fever
In 2015, it is expected to vaccinate 102,400 pigs against CSF, a disease that is in the process of being eradicated in Peru.
United States: FDA proposes rule to collect antimicrobial sales and distribution data by animal species
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed a rule that would require animal drug sponsors of all antimicrobials sold or distributed for use in food-producing animals to obtain estimates of sales by major food-producing species (cattle, swine, chickens and turkeys).
In vitro activity of tylvalosin against Spanish field strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
The macrolide tylvalosin and the pleuromutilin valnemulin exhibited the highest in vitro antimicrobial activities against M. hyopneumoniae field isolates in comparison with the other tested antibiotics.
Poland launches a Biosecurity Programme for the control of ASF
The programme covers the period 2015 - 2018 and came into force on April 29, 2015.
Expert panel meeting to develop socioeconomic guidelines for FMD progressive control
This is the first time an FMD socioeconomic panel discussed the available methods and tools available for conducting FMD socioeconomic analyses required to support investments and provide evidence of FMD impacts in different production systems.
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.
Colombia: the ICA and Asoporcicultores start an intense vacination campaign against CSF
With the aim of controlling and eradicating CSF and to strengthen pig production in all Colombia, the ICA and Asoporcicultores have started an intense free vaccination campaign against this disease in the Atlantic Coast.
Impact of oral rennet supplementation on serum globulin concentration in neonatal piglets
Within the power of this study, oral rennet supplementation does not increase piglet serum globulin concentrations.
WHO issues best practices for naming new human infectious diseases
The use of names such as ‘swine flu’ and ‘Middle East Respiratory Syndrome’ has had unintended negative impacts by stigmatizing certain communities or economic sectors.
Ukraine confirms ASF in a wild boar
Ukrainian Veterinary Authorities have confirmed the presence of African swine fever in a dead wild boar located near the natural border of Grabov.
Some considerations on porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) (1/2): A look back to PEDV in Europe
The author questions whether the US virus is more virulent than the strain CV777 isolated in Europe in 1977 or whether the disease is indeed more devastating now than it was in the seventies in Europe.
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.
Evaluation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus transmission and the immune response in growing pigs
Homologous re-challenge 49 days post initial PEDV exposure did not result in re-infection of the pigs. This demonstrates potential for an effective PEDV vaccine.
