A single recall vaccination lapse in sows triggers PRRSV resurgence and boosts viral genetic diversity
These findings emphasize the critical importance of strictly adhering to vaccination schedules and implementing robust vaccination procedures to exert an effective impact on PRRSV viral circulation.
Rapid identification of African swine fever virus in diagnostic samples using CRISPR-Cas
This low-cost visual detection method for African swine fever virus offers a robust workflow that works with commonly submitted diagnostic samples.
A protocol for external biosecurity assessment against wildlife in intensive pig farms: Are we ready for African Swine Fever?
To equip farmers with the knowledge they require to make informed decisions, awareness-raising campaigns and the transfer of the protocol through training programmes are needed
Comparison of ferrous sulfate, ferric ammonium citrate, and ferrous glycinate on growth performance, iron status, diarrhea incidence, and intestinal health in weaned piglets
Ferrous glycinate improves iron status, gut health, and growth performance in weaned piglets.
Less invasive sampling methods for PRRSV detection in swine: Dry blood spots, oral swabs, and tonsil oral scrubbing in intentionally exposed gilts
Tonsil oral scrubbing and dry blood spots are reliable and cost-effective alternatives for detecting the virus in recently inoculated gilts.

Iron balance during gestation: benefits and risks of iron supplementation in sows
Iron supplementation at an appropriate dose in gestating sows can improve placental development and increase piglet survival.
Hygiene procedures of trucks transporting live pigs: multi-assessment validation of a standardized C&D protocol
Overall, the standardized protocol markedly improved the sanitary status of pig-transport vehicles.
A multi-host mechanistic model of African swine fever emergence and control in Romania
Interspecific transmission was a critical epidemic driver and a necessary target for achieving holistic control.
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.
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.
African Swine Fever
All the information about ASF: how to recognize the disease, how it is transmitted, pictures of lesions, latest news, guides, etc.
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.
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.
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.
