P22 protein complex in the serodiagnosis of animal tuberculosis: Antigenic stability and cross-reactivity with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection
(Elsevier, 2022-10-07)
The P22 ELISA was recently developed for the serodiagnosis of animal tuberculosis. Herein, the stability of the P22 antigen in different presentations and storage conditions, and the cross-reactivity ...
Relationship between Salmonella infection, shedding and serology in fattening pigs in low–moderate prevalence areas
(Wiley, 2018-04-27)
Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen causing important zoonosis worldwide. Pigs asymptomatically infected in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) can be intermittent shedders of the pathogen through faeces, ...
Similar frequency of Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) detection in serum samples of pigs affected by digestive or respiratory disorders and age‐matched clinically healthy pigs
(Wiley, 2019-09-04)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) has been identified in pigs affected by different disease conditions, although its pathogenicity remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to assess the frequency ...
The emergence of classical BSE from atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-12-16)
Atypical/Nor98 scrapie (AS) is a prion disease of small ruminants. Currently there are no efficient measures to control this form of prion disease, and, importantly, the zoonotic potential and the risk ...
Coinfection with Entamoeba polecki and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae in a pig with severe diarrhea
(SAGE Publications, 2019-02-09)
Enteric disease in pigs is usually of multifactorial etiology, including infectious and non-infectious factors. In many cases of endemic diarrhea in weaner-to-finisher pigs, the combination of 2 or more ...
Diagnosis by ruling out other diseases or conditions
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-07-19)
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 ...
Improving Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae diagnostic capabilities by harnessing the infection dynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-07-25)
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae remains one of the most problematic bacterial pathogens for pig production. Despite an abundance of observational and laboratory testing capabilities for this organism, diagnostic ...
First identification and characterization of rotavirus H in swine in Spain
(Wiley, 2021-01-15)
Rotaviruses (RVs) are classified into nine species or groups (RVA-RVD and RVF-RVJ). RVA, RVB and RVC are well-recognized as etiological agents of enteric disease on swine farms and have been identified ...
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Wiley, 2021-01-12)
While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ...
