Escherichia coli infections in pigs (2 of 2)
Post-weaning colibacillosis and oedema disease are common global infection among farmed pigs – these strains of E coli appear to be "embedded" in most pig farms, so elimination is not a current option. Vaccination of sows or gilts with ETEC vaccines has no effect on post-weaning E. coli infections.
Pathology and virus distribution in the lung and lymphoid tissues of pigs inoculated with distinct Type 1 PRRS virus isolates
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus was detected mainly in monocytes-macrophages.
Denmark: new strategy against MRSA

United States: third strain of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus
Three naturally occurring US PEDV strains have been identified: the original PEDV, the PEDV with changes in the spike gene (INDEL), and the PEDV strain (S2aa-del).
US: drop in the number of PEDv- and PDCoV-positive farms and premises
Since last 5 June, there are 625 farms and premises infected with PEDV, and 28 infected with PDCoV. Although a rise in the number of cases was to be expected due to the cold weather, they are not appearing so far.

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.
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.
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.
Seroprevalence of selected swine viral pathogens
The high seroprevalences found supports the feeling you get in the field that PCV2, PRRSV, and SIV are very widespread viruses in our farms.
PRRSv infection in France: clinical and economic impact
The cost of PRRS ranges from €17 to €185/sow/year in the three studies presented.
