Feed additives for the control of post-weaning Streptococcus suis disease and the effect on the faecal and nasal microbiota
(Wiley, 2020-11-23)
Medicated feed is a common strategy to control the occurrence of Streptococcus suis disease in swine production, but feed additives may constitute an alternative to metaphylaxis. In a farm with post-weaning ...
Viromics on honey-baited FTA cards as a new tool for the detection of circulating viruses in mosquitoes
(MDPI, 2020-02-29)
Worldwide, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are a major burden on public and animal health. Arthropod vectors, with mosquitoes being the main contributors of global disease, transmit ...
Comparative analysis of the fecal microbiota from different species of domesticated and wild suids
(Nature Research, 2019-09-20)
Most of the microorganisms living in a symbiotic relationship in different animal body sites (microbiota) reside in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Several studies have shown that the microbiota is ...
Longitudinal Study of Fecal Microbiota in Calves with or without Diarrhea Episodes before Weaning
(MDPI, 2022-08-29)
The microbiota plays an important role in the development of diarrhea in pre-weaned calves. The characterization of the fecal microbiota in health and disease can be critical to unravel the bacterial ...
Frequency of Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Healthy Primiparous and Multiparous Sows and Their Mummified Fetuses and Stillborn
(MDPI, 2020-07-02)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been suggested as a putative causal agent of swine reproductive disease. A number of different studies have pointed out this association, but there is still a lack of ...
Porcine Circovirus 3 Detection in Aborted Fetuses and Stillborn Piglets from Swine Reproductive Failure Cases
(MDPI, 2021-02-09)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been widely detected in healthy and diseased pigs; among different pathologic conditions, the strongest evidence of association comes from reproductive disease cases. ...
Current knowledge on Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3): A novel virus with a yet unknown impact on the swine industry
(Frontiers Media, 2018-12-12)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) is a recently described virus belonging to the family Circoviridae. It represents the third member of genus Circovirus able to infect swine, together with PCV-1, considered ...
Sow Contact Is a Major Driver in the Development of the Nasal Microbiota of Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-06-03)
The nasal microbiota composition is associated with the health status of piglets. Sow-contact in early life is one of the factors influencing the microbial composition in piglets; however, its impact ...
Computational Analysis of African Swine Fever Virus Protein Space for the Design of an Epitope-Based Vaccine Ensemble
(MDPI, 2020-12-21)
African swine fever virus is the etiological agent of African swine fever, a transmissible severe hemorrhagic disease that affects pigs, causing massive economic losses. There is neither a treatment nor ...
A shift in Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) history paradigm: Phylodynamic analyses reveal an ancient origin and prolonged undetected circulation in the worldwide swine population
(Wiley Open Access, 2019-09-30)
The identification of a new circovirus (Porcine circovirus 3, PCV-3) has raised a remarkable concern because of some analogies with Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2). Preliminary results suggest an extremely ...
