articles about influenza in Abstracts

The study further emphasized the vast evolutionary capacity of swine IAV, under natural infection and vaccination pressure scenarios.

Viral pathogens of pigs can survive in representative volumes of feed and feed ingredients during long-distance commercial transport across the continental United States.

Results emphasize the need to implement surveillance and transmission preventive protocols at the pig/human interface.

The methods derived from this study open up avenues to further investigate airborne transmission and risk of virus introduction into farms contributing to the control of diseases in swine.

Vaccinating against the influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus, can improve reproductive performance in sow herds infected with pandemic influenza A virus.

Controlling the prevailing G4 EA H1N1 viruses in pigs and close monitoring in human populations, especially the workers in swine industry, should be urgently implemented.

Sow vaccination decreased influenza infections in piglets at weaning. Influenza positive gilts at entry were associated with positive piglets at weaning.

Sow vaccination or infection status that results in high levels of IAV strain-specific maternally-derived antibodies may help to reduce IAV circulation in both suckling and nursery pigs.

Group and environmental sampling strategies should be considered in influenza surveillance programs in particular if the goal is just to detect infection.

Results provide further evidence that contaminated feed ingredients may represent a risk for transport of pathogens at domestic and global levels.

Unlike domestic swine, feral swine are free ranging and have many opportunities for IAV exposure through contacts with various habitats and animals, including migratory waterfowl, a natural reservoir for IAVs.

This study set out to describe detection patterns of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), swine influenza virus type A (SIV) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) among farms showing differing severity of PRDC.

In late 2015, an avian-origin H4N6 influenza A virus was isolated from pigs in the United States.

Influenza is a costly disease for pig producers and understanding its epidemiology is critical to control it.

The unexpected frequency of viral exchange between commercial and exhibition swine raises questions about the understudied interface between these populations.

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are endemic in swine and represent a public health risk. However, there is limited information on the genetic diversity of swine IAVs within farrow-to-wean farms, which is where most pigs are born.
