Modelling PCV2 course of infection in a farrow-to-finish farm
Reducing piglets mingling in farrowing and nursery facilities was found to delay the infectious process leading to a lower number of early infections. Clustering piglets by litter in small units after weaning also decreased significantly the probability of early infection.
Clinical case: The human factor as the cause of erysipelas outbreak
Frequent deaths and cases of disease with typical “diamond-skin” lesions appeared in fattening pigs although they were vaccinated against Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
The path to profitability – assessing when the benefit of animal health interventions justifies the cost in wean-to-market
What further increases profitability in pig production is not minimizing costs, but maximizing revenue.
Canada: Federal Government provides emergency access to vaccine for hogs
Vaccine will help pork industry to respond to the threat posed by porcine epidemic diarrhea
Efficacy of single dose of an inactivated PCV2 whole-virus vaccine with oil adjuvant in piglets
The vaccine may have the potential to serve as a vaccine aimed to protect pigs from developing PMWS.
Impact of PRRS vaccination timing in pigs with different maternal immunity levels
The main objective of this study was to further investigate this issue and determine if vaccination of older pigs would induce an earlier viremia and seroconversion.
Reproduction in gilts inseminated with PCV2-spiked semen. Protection by gilt vaccination with a sow PCV2 vaccine
PCV2 vaccination of the gilts prior to insemination with PCV2 spiked-semen showed a clear decrease of viral load in the gilts as well as a much lower viral excretion that were compatible with foetus protection.
Dealing with PRRSv-positive breeding herds
Is the right strategy to get a farm stable, that is, control clinical signs reducing the economic impact of the disease; or should a farm adopt strategies to go “negative”? As for other questions in the epidemiological field, our answer is “it depends”.
PCV2 Virus properties and implications
The virus is highly resistant in the environment, showing also high resistance to chemical and thermal treatments.
Spain: vaccine against foot and mouth disease - a successful case of technology transfer
An innovative approach that combines multiple copies of the structural components (called epitopes) of the viruses that generate protective immunity in a single molecular platform.
Novel method makes FMD vaccine production safer
A virus DNA sequence that, if removed, makes the FMD virus harmless to animals, but still allows it to grow in cell culture.
Optimal routes of administration
How to administer drugs in order to optimize the speed of action, the efficiency and the financial cost.
Update on the importance of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) subclinical infection
Might be there is a little doubt nowadays on the beneficial clinical and economic effects of PCV2 vaccination in subclinical infections in piglets, but… which is the role that sows play in the whole picture?
Ohio State researcher develops innovative vaccine for profit-draining swine virus
The new vaccine is also enclosed in biodegradable nanoparticles, which improves its efficacy and its absorption by a pig's immune system.
