Swine farm environmental microbiome: exploring microbial ecology and functionality across farms with high and low sanitary status
(Frontiers Media, 2024-07-03)
Stringent regulations in pig farming, such as antibiotic control and the ban on certain additives and disinfectants, complicate disease control efforts. Despite the evolution of microbial communities ...
Exposure of Urban European Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) to Toxoplasma gondii in Highly Populated Areas of Northeast Spain
(MDPI, 2024-05-28)
Toxoplasma gondii is a generalist zoonotic parasite that involves a wide range of warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts and felines as definitive hosts. Recent studies have proved significant ...
Virulence-associated trimeric autotransporters of Haemophilus parasuis are antigenic proteins expressed in vivo
(EDP Sciences, 2009-12-10)
Glässer’s disease is a re-emerging swine disease characterized by a severe septicaemia.
Vaccination has been widely used to control the disease, although there is a lack of extended crossprotection. ...
Revisiting the taxonomical classification of Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2): still a real challenge
(BMC, 2015-08-28)
Background: PCV2 has emerged as one of the most devastating viral infections of swine farming, causing a relevant economic impact due to direct losses and control strategies expenses. Epidemiological ...
FlagT4G Vaccine Prevents Transplacental Transmission of Highly Virulent Classical Swine Fever Virus after Single Vaccination in Pregnant Sows
(MDPI, 2024-07-23)
The transplacental transmission of CSFV and the resulting persistent congenital infection in newborn piglets have been abundantly discussed in pregnant sows suffering from virus infection. Importantly, ...
Haptoglobin serum concentration is a suitable biomarker to assess the efficacy of a feed additive in pigs
(Elsevier, 2010-04-01)
Levels of haptoglobin and Pig-major acute phase protein (MAP) were analysed in animals from a commercial herd receiving or

kernInt: A Kernel Framework for Integrating Supervised and Unsupervised Analyses in Spatio-Temporal Metagenomic Datasets
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-28)
The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies allowed relative quantification of microbiome communities and their spatial and temporal variation. In recent years, supervised learning (i.e., ...
Competing risk analyses of longevity in Duroc sows with a special emphasis on leg conformation
(Elsevier, 2009-01-01)
A competing risk approach was used to evaluate the influence of several factors on culling risk for 587 Duroc sows. Three
different analyses were performed according to whether sow failure was due to ...
