In homologous re-challenged pigs, no clinical signs or lesions were observed, while prior exposition to a different PEDV G1b variant or SeCoV only provided partial cross-protection.

The study shows it is feasible to use a system to quantify the water use and wastage patterns of pigs in farm buildings.

This study investigated the association between the presence of PCV3 mRNA detected by in situ hybridization within histological lesions and PCV3 DNA detected by real-time PCR in naturally infected pigs.

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.

In a PRRSV-endemic setting involving bacterial co-infections, an ABF production strategy may leave pigs at considerable risk of exposure to severe clinical disease.

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

Seropositive wild boar in certain areas suggests that some animals may be surviving for some time or could even be recovering from the disease. This could be due to the presence of related viruses of reduced virulence.

Although greater concentrations of ASF virus were required to cause infection through feed, the high frequency of exposure may make contaminated feed a more significant risk factor.

Fallen wild boar are the main target for passive surveillance. However, encouraging reporting by hunters and sampling of these animals is difficult.

Iberian pigs could act as reservoir of tuberculosis (TB) in Mediterranean ecosystems.

Wild boar is susceptible to PCV‐3 infection, showing high frequency of detection in this animal species.

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) were first identified in Canada in 2014. Surveillance efforts have been instrumental in controlling both diseases.

Composting appears to be an effective disposal method for PEDV-infected piglet carcasses under the conditions examined.

The objective of this study was to investigate associations between early life indicators, lactation management factors and subsequent mortality, health, welfare and carcass traits of offspring.

This study highlights the importance of identifying coronavirus diversity and distribution in bats.

In this study, CD163-positive fetuses were completely protected from PRRSV in dams possessing a complete knockout of the CD163 receptor.
