New animal health control measures relating to African swine fever
The occurrence of new outbreaks of African Swine Fever affecting wild boars and domestic pigs in Latvia and Lithuania constitutes an increase in the level of risk.
PCV3: A novel porcine circovirus associated with PDNS and reproductive failure
Here, a novel porcine circovirus (PCV3) that is distantly related to known circoviruses was identified in sows with porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) and reproductive failure.
Precision engineering for PRRSV resistance in pigs
Precision engineering for PRRSV resistance in pigs: Macrophages from genome edited pigs lacking CD163 SRCR5 domain are fully resistant to both PRRSV genotypes while maintaining biological function
Livestock associated MRSA – what is the appropriate level of concern?
After more than a decade there is little to suggest that LA-MRSA poses an imminent threat to public health, even in countries where prevalence is high in pigs.
Quantifying the Value of Perfect Information in Emergency Vaccination Campaigns
This work could inform contingency planning that would lead to cost savings in the event of a future FMD outbreak and could also be applied to other infectious diseases.
Brazil will implement compartimentalisation in pig production
Compartimentalisation eliminates the geographical aspect, because each farm is a disease-free entity, and in case of a disease outbreak in a state or region, it facilitates the maintenance of exports.
Effectiveness and practicality of control strategies for African swine fever: what do we really know?
African swine fever (ASF) is a major pig health problem, and the causative virus is moving closer to Western European regions where pig density is high. Stopping or slowing down the spread of ASF requires mitigation strategies that are both effective and practical.
Ukraine: ASF caused losses amounting USD4.81 million
The Pig Producers' Association of Ukraine has issued a report based on data from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Feed additives decrease survival of delta coronavirus in nursery pig diets
Feed additives that contained phosphoric acid, citric acid, or fumaric acid were the most effective in reducing virus survival.
Korea: Highest alert issued for foot-and-mouth disease
According to The Korea Times, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is spreading rapidly nationwide as cattle in another farm tested positive for the virus.
Congenital infection with atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is associated with disease and viral persistence
We detected a recently discovered pestivirus, termed atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) in all these cases by RT-PCR.
Fight against animal and plant diseases: €165 million committed for 2017
The Commission has adopted decisions to commit close to €165 million to fight against animal diseases and zoonoses as well as further support the survey programmes for plant pests in 2017.
Indirect transmission and stability of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus on fomites
These studies are the evidences that indirect transmission of PEDV through contaminated personnel, which occurs rapidly, and how fomite material and temperature impact viral stability over time.
Effect of herd size on subclinical infection of swine in Vietnam with influenza A viruses
We demonstrate the asymptomatic circulation of IAV-S in the Vietnamese pig population.
Impact of maternally derived immunity on piglets’ immune response and protection against PCV2 after vaccination at different age
This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical protection, the level of Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viremia and the immune response (antibodies and IFN-γ secreting cells (SC)) in piglets derived from PCV2 vaccinated sows and themselves vaccinated against PCV2 at different age, namely at 4, 6 and 8 weeks.
