Emergence and prevalence of naturally occurring lower virulent African swine fever viruses in China
The emergence of lower virulent natural mutants brings greater difficulty to the early diagnosis of ASF and creates new challenges for ASFV control.

Is there cross-protective immunity between Japanese type 1 and type 2 PRRSV isolates?
A study on the heterologous protection between Japanese Type 1 and Type 2 PRRSV isolates.
Extraction method detects PRRSV and IAV in used air filters
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.
Genes identified that cause Streptococcus suis infection in pigs
The genetic determinants of infection identified in this work contribute to novel insights in S. suis pathogenesis and could serve as targets for novel vaccines or antimicrobial drugs.

AbstractAlternative measures to reduce antimicrobial usage in European pig production
Following tailor-made implementation of alternative measures, a substantial reduction of antimicrobial use in pig production was achievable without jeopardizing animal health.
Gut microbiota influences ASF susceptibility
Fecal microbiota transplantation from warthogs to pigs confers partial protection against attenuated ASFV strains.

Stability of African swine fever virus on heat‐treated field crops
The risk of ASFV transmission via contaminated crops is most likely low, if they are incubated for at least 2 hr minimum at room temperature.
Environmental bioaerosol surveillance for early pathogen detection
Bioaerosol surveillance may be an effective non‐invasive surveillance approach to quickly disseminate data on multiple pathogens back to the farm stakeholders.
Complete genome sequence of a novel Senecavirus A isolate from an asymptomatic pig in China
Senecavirus A (SVA) is the single member of the genus Senecavirus of the family Picornaviridae. A complete genome sequence of SVA strain GX2018-92 consisting of 7,280 nucleotides is reported.
Small molecules block PRRSV from infecting pig cells
A compound was identified that blocks the interaction between PRRSV and CD163, a macrophage-specific membrane scavenger receptor, potentially preventing infection.
Rotavirus C: prevalence in suckling piglets and the influence of maternal immunity on disease development
Insufficient lactogenic protection provided by gilts plays a key role in the development of and the increased prevalence of clinical rotavirus C disease.
Commercially available cell line for identifying ASF virus in clinical samples
Currently, detection requires accessibility to infrequently available primary swine macrophage cultures. Here, we report the identification of a commercially suitable substrate for virus isolation of ASF virus.
African Swine Fever
All the information about ASF: how to recognize the disease, how it is transmitted, pictures of lesions, latest news, guides, etc.
The antimicrobial resistome in relation to antimicrobial use and biosecurity in pig farming
Using resistome data in association studies adds accuracy to previously observed AMU-AMR associations. Major components of the pig resistome are positively and independently associated with on-farm AMU and biosecurity conditions.
Modeling ASF spread and persistence in wild boar in contrasting European scenarios
A combination of culling and infected carcass removal is the most effective method to eradicate the virus without also eradicating the host population, and that early implementation of these control measures will reduce infection levels.
Reproductive performance of influenza A virus infected sows before and after vaccination
Vaccinating against the influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus, can improve reproductive performance in sow herds infected with pandemic influenza A virus.
Prevalent Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus with 2009 pandemic viral genes facilitating human infection
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.
Effects of Clostridium butyricum and Enterococcus faecalis on growth performance, intestinal structure, and inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-challenged weaned piglets
Dietary supplementation with C. butyricum or E. faecalis promoted growth performance, improved immunity, relieved intestinal villus damage and inflammation, and optimized the intestinal flora in LPS-challenged weaned piglets.
Considering weaned piglets for control of Salmonella infection in breeding farms
Improving piglet colostrum intake along with the reduction of the shedding in sows may favor the control of Salmonella infection in breeding farms.
Comparison of anatomical and gastrointestinal functional development between gilt and sow progeny at birth and weaning
Early development of gilt progeny may be delayed compared with sow progeny and a number of anatomical differences present at birth are also present at weaning.
Hepatitis E virus in pigs from slaughterhouses, United States, 2017–2019
Approximately 40% of US slaughterhouse pigs were found to be seropositive for HEV. Blood of HEV-viremic pigs from slaughterhouses may contaminate pork supply chains.
Assessing efficacy of feed additives to control Salmonella in nursery pigs
Feeding Mannan-rich hydrolyzed copra meal and fermented rye to nursery pigs combined with organic acids reduces S. Typh shedding, and feeding fermented rye with OA tends to improve pig performance after S. Typh challenge.
Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents
The autors review the literature about the persistence of human and veterinary coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces as well as inactivation strategies with biocidal agents.
Highly effective vaccine against ASFV
The gene-deleted HLJ/-18-7GD virus is a safe and effective vaccine against ASFV, and could play an important role in controlling the spread of ASFV.
A neutralizing monoclonal antibody-based competitive ELISA for CSF C-strain post–vaccination monitoring
The novel cELISA demonstrated excellent agreement and high level correlation with VNT. It is a reliable tool for sero-monitoring of C-strain vaccination campaign.
