Clinical case: Effects of the adaptation to the welfare law in a PRRS outbreak
This farm produces its own gilts from grandmother sows, but taking advantage of the adaptation to meet the needs of the welfare law it was decided to increase its capacity from 600 sows to 1,200.
Dynamics of influenza A virus infections in permanently infected pig farms
The aims of this study were to characterize the epidemiology of recurrent swine influenza virus infections and identify their main determinants.
Effect of influenza vaccination on influenza bioaerosol generation
In this study, influenza virus detection in pigs and air samples was reduced through vaccination.
Swine influenza virus infection dynamics in two pig farms; results of a longitudinal assessment
Influenza virus infection in pigs might present different patterns, from an epidemic outbreak to an endemic form with different waves of infections with a lower incidence.
PRRSV: Interaction with other respiratory pathogens
PRRSV by itself may induce mild-to-severe respiratory disease but rarely results in mortality.
United Kingdom: AHVLA is now an international reference laboratory for swine influenza
The Weybridge laboratory now joins three other swine influenza reference laboratories in Italy, Japan and the United States.
China: no H7N9 virus found in poultry or pig farm samples
No samples collected from poultry farms so far have tested positive for the H7N9 strain of avian influenza, and the virus has not been detected in pigs either.
China: farms on alert
Beijing is closely watching poultry at 900 farms and migratory birds at 287 water areas for possible H7N9 infection.
China: pigs to be tested for H7N9 virus
China's agriculture authority has expanded the monitoring for the H7N9 strain of bird flu to pigs in order to have a better understanding of the virus.
Clinical case: Severe respiratory disease in weaned piglets
A cough outbreak appeared in 8-9 weeks old piglets. It apparently was a "normal" outbreak that could be solved with a few days of antibiotic but the pigs did not respond to the treatment.
China: Harbin animal influenza lab designated as FAO reference center
The HVRI's Animal Influenza Lab is China's National Avian Influenza (AI) Reference Lab, and also a Reference Lab for AI recognized by World Organization of Animal Health (OIE).
It’s not too late to get a flu vaccination
As flu season swings into full gear, producers and those who work with pigs are reminded that it’s not too late to get a seasonal flu vaccination.
Detection of influenza virus in aerosols from swine farms
Acutely infected pig populations do generate airborne influenza A virus viable particles capable of being exhausted from pig barns and likely disseminated to other farms in the vicinity.
Alternative control strategy successful in the face of persistent SIV
Flu DETECT® Swine is a cost-effective way to help determine if weaned, SIV-clinical pigs are actively shedding SIV.
Clinical case: Outbreak of influenza in a PRRS and Mhyo stable herd
In July 2010 a severe respiratory disease occurred in the farm: coughing in gilts, and coughing and depression in fatteners concomitantly to an increase of the mean stillborn and mummified piglet rate in a batch of sows.
