Italy: the confirmed PED outbreaks are due to a low-pathogenicity strain
The four outbreaks have been confirmed by the IZS Brescia, that pointed out that the culprit is a low-pathogenicity US strain.

Escherichia coli infections in pigs (2 of 2)
Post-weaning colibacillosis and oedema disease are common global infection among farmed pigs – these strains of E coli appear to be "embedded" in most pig farms, so elimination is not a current option. Vaccination of sows or gilts with ETEC vaccines has no effect on post-weaning E. coli infections.
Escherichia coli infections in pigs (1 of 2)
This article will focus on clinical signs of some E coli infections: neonatal colibacillosis, post-weaning colibacillosis diarrhoea and oedema disease.
New ZnO presentations can be used at lower concentrations in weanling diets
Low concentrations of commercial potentiated ZnO is effective in against of ETEC-challenged weaning pigs.
Clinical case: PEDv recurrence
In May 2013 a sow farm in Indiana (USA) broke with PEDv. In mid March 2014, scour were observed in the onsite nursery and finisher. In the subsequent week, PEDv was diagnosed of the same strain (99.9 % homology) and the virus moved into the farrowing house.
Detection of enteric pathogens in newborn piglets (2/2)
The main aspect that cannot be forgotten is the complete approach necessary to evaluate all possibilities. In that sense, samples have to be collected and tested to all possible agents that might cause diarrhea.
Detection of enteric pathogens in newborn piglets (1/2)
The ideal sample for diagnostic of neonatal enteric pathogens is the submission of live piglets.
Contaminated complete feed as a vehicle for PEDV
Data on this article provide proof of concept that contaminated feed pellets (complete feed) can serve as a vehicle for PEDV infection of naïve pigs using natural feeding behavior.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae affects postweaning diarrhea, immune response, and growth performance in weaned piglets
S. cerevisiae should be considered as a successful alternative for the prevention and treatment of diarrhoea in piglets caused by ETEC.
New neonatal porcine diarrhoea syndrome - effects
New Neonatal Porcine Diarrhoea Syndrome (NNPDS) is a newly defined syndrome, characterized by a treatment-refractory diarrhoea during the first days of life.
United States: USDA reports swine coronavirus outbreaks to OIE
The report includes 17 outbreaks caused by porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus and porcine delta coronavirus across US.
Research view of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus
Dr. Bong Kyun Park explains his experience in Korea's outbreaks in recent years.
Diagnostic view of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus
Dr. Albert Rovira provide an update on the ongoing Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) diagnostics.
Stability of PED virus in the environment
Dr. Sagar Goyal presents detailed information on the environmental stability of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV). Dr. Goyal walks through the various environments in which PEDV exists and how it survives over the course of time.
Update on Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus studies
Dr. Dane Goede and Dr. Bob Morrison provide an update on the ongoing Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) research studies at the University of Minnesota. They look at production impact and share information about the Swine Health Monitoring Project.
Dietary plant extracts alleviate diarrhea and alter immune responses of weaned pigs experimentally infected with a pathogenic Escherichia coli
The plant extracts tested reduced diarrhea, and inflammation caused by E. coli infection, which may be beneficial to pig health.
