Pig production is nowadays highly specialised, and is dominated by large, intensive, indoor-rearing production systems around the world. As farming systems have evolved, so also has our understanding ...
Testing of umbilical cords by real time PCR is suitable for assessing vertical transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus under field conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
The objective of this study was to test the suitability of umbilical cord (UC) sampling and ear vein swabbing (EVS) as alternatives to jugular vein bleeding (JVB) for the assessment of vertical transmission ...

Characterization of homologous and heterologous adaptive immune responses in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(BMC, 2012-04-19)
The present study characterized the homologous and heterologous immune response in type-I porcine

Differential interactions of virulent and non-virulent H. parasuis strains with naïve or swine influenza virus pre-infected dendritic cells
(BMC, 2012-11-16)
Pigs possess a microbiota in the upper respiratory tract that includes Haemophilus parasuis. Pigs are also considered
the reservoir of influenza viruses and infection with this virus commonly results ...
Novel polyomaviruses in mammals from multiple orders and reassessment of polyomavirus evolution and taxonomy
(MDPI, 2019-10-10)
As the phylogenetic organization of mammalian polyomaviruses is complex and currently incompletely resolved, we aimed at a deeper insight into their evolution by identifying polyomaviruses in host orders ...
