A highly sensitive method for detecting ASF virus in oral fluids from naturally infected pigs in Northern Vietnam
The developed method offers a simple and sensitive tool for rapid ASFV screening in both affected and at-risk farms.
Abstracts - Pig health
Reduction of influenza A virus prevalence in pigs at weaning after using custom-made influenza vaccines in the breeding herds of an integrated swine farm system
A comprehensive approach to influenza control on pig farms, including surveillance, vaccination, and careful implementation of the program, is necessary to reduce the incidence of IAV in pigs.
Evaluation of the efficacy of commercial disinfectants against African swine fever virus
These preliminary results can be used to target research on disinfectants which contain active ingredients with known efficacy against ASFV.
Extracorporeal liver cross-circulation using transgenic xenogeneic pig livers with brain-dead human decedents
Genetically modified pig liver keeps man alive until human organ transplant.
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.
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.

Content Compass ESPHM 2026 - Optimizing PCV2 vaccination timing in sow herds: implications for piglet growth and health
Beyond Antimicrobial activity: Immunomodulatory Power of Tylvalosin Against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
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.
Buserelin shortens the estrus-to-ovulation interval and improves the pregnancy outcomes in gilts treated with a fixed-time artificial insemination
Buserelin has advantages in centralizing induced ovulation and thus improving fixed-time artificial insemination outcomes.
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.
African Swine Fever
All the information about ASF: how to recognize the disease, how it is transmitted, pictures of lesions, latest news, guides, etc.
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.
Effects of grinding teeth on piglet facial lesions, sow teat lesions and performances
Grinding teeth decreased the teat lesion score on day 21 of lactation but did not influence the mortality rate or litter weight gain.
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.
333 Emerging Voices - Long-distance airborne transmission of PRRSV: a systematic review
This work presents a systematic review of the available scientific literature on the long-distance airborne transmission of PRRSV. Final thesis at the College of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Enric Mateu.
Explaining the persistence of PRRSV in vaccinated breeding herds
Selection of viral variants with enhanced transmission and reduced neutralization susceptibility alongside lateral introductions may explain the persistence of PRRSV in vaccinated breeding herds.
Assessment of hemoglobin concentration in sows and their offspring over consecutive reproductive cycles
Decreasing sow hemoglobin concentration over the reproductive cycle and lack of post-weaning recovery in parity 3 indicates iron declines with advancing parity and may impact long-term health.
Environmental enrichment affects immunity and reduces disease severity in pigs after co-infection, with stronger effects when applied from birth than from weaning
Enriched housing from birth reduced disease severity to co-infection with PRRSV and A. pleuropneumoniae.
