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.
Incorporating genomic and transcriptomic effects in joint linear and non-linear structural models for predicting complex traits in pigs
Blood transcriptomic data substantially improved prediction performance for traits biologically related to the sampled tissue.
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.
Microbiological safety of ungulates meat intended to be frozen and defrosting of frozen ungulates meat
Predicted levels of indicator microorganisms for verification are provided for different assumed initial contamination levels.
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.
Automated detection and scoring of pleurisy in Norwegian slaughtered pigs: a field trial
AI-driven tools have the potential to enhance disease surveillance, reduce observer variability, and facilitate large-scale data collection in slaughterhouse environments.
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.
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.
