333 Emerging Voices - Pathological findings in pigs affected by inclusion body rhinitis
This work evaluates the relationship of inclusion body rhinitis in pigs with other findings observed in necropsies. Final thesis at the Veterinary Pathology Diagnostic Service of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Joaquim Segalés.
Automated detection and scoring of pleurisy in Norwegian slaughtered pigs: a field trial
AI-driven tools have the potential to enhance disease surveillance, reduce observer variability, and facilitate large-scale data collection in slaughterhouse environments.
Seasonal occurrence of African swine fever in wild boar and domestic pigs in EU Member States
Seasonal effects may be related to the abundance and population dynamics of wild boar and to seasonality in pig farming.
Maternal vaccination partially protects piglets against influenza A virus associated alteration of the microbiome and hippocampal gene expression
Maternal vaccination mitigates the potential long-term impacts of influenza A virus infection on the microbiome and cognition.
Scoring of swine lung images: a comparison between a computer vision system and human evaluators
The computer vision system could be used as an alternative to the manual scoring of cranioventral pulmonary consolidation during slaughter inspections.
Proposing a clinical case definition for PRRSV outbreaks in sow herds based on key productivity indicators
A new clinical case definition for PRRSV outbreaks in swine breeding herds has been proposed using a system based on KPI signals that will trigger diagnostics.
Characterizing feral swine movement across the contiguous United States using neural networks and genetic data
The study provides insight into the patterns of human-mediated movement of feral swine across the US and from Canada to the northern areas of the US.
Evaluation of an electrostatic precipitator in mitigating the transmission of airborne viruses in experimentally infected pigs
Under the conditions of this study, the electrostatic precipitators efficiently removed IAV aerosol particles and delayed the onset of IAV and PRRSV infections in the sentinel pigs.
From mother to piglet: the lasting influence of the maternal microbiome
Beneficial bacteria are transmitted from mothers to offspring and persist through early developmental stages, thereby emphasizing the long-lasting impact of maternal microbiome.
A synthetic genomics-based African swine fever virus engineering platform
The method will substantially facilitate the development of therapeutics or subunit and live-attenuated vaccines for ASF.
Assessment of changes in antibiotic use in grow-finish pigs after the introduction of PRRSV in a naïve farrow-to-finish system
The PRRSV outbreak in the source was associated with a grow-finish antibiotic usage increase.
333 Emerging Voices: Insight into coronaviruses epidemiology, including SARS-CoV 2 spillover risk, in swine farmed populations
This work investigates the epidemiology of specific and emerging coronaviruses in the pig population. Final thesis at the University of Padua, Italy, advised by Michele Drigo.
The downregulation of genes encoding muscle proteins have a potential role in the development of scrotal hernia in pigs
The downregulation of muscular candidate genes in the inguinal tissue clarifies the genetic mechanisms involved with this anomaly in its primary site.
Spatial patterns of influenza A virus spread across compartments in commercial swine farms in the United States
Prioritizing resources towards systems frequently confronting influenza problems and targeting pivotal source farms could be an effective strategy for controlling influenza.
Ergotism in an organic sow herd and the impact on lactation performance and subsequent reproductive performance
This case reports the level of ergot alkaloids and duration of exposure found under field conditions in a herd that experienced a high neonatal mortality event consequent to agalactia in the sows.
