Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus impacts on gut microbiome in a strain virulence‐dependent fashion
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-03-03)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a viral disease defined by reproductive problems, respiratory distress and a negative impact on growth rate and general condition. Virulent PRRS ...
Impact of Cryopreservation on Viability, Phenotype, and Functionality of Porcine PBMC
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-29)
The use of frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) is common in immunological studies. The impact of freezing PBMC has been assessed using human and mice cells, but little information is available ...
Swine Dendritic Cell Response to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus: An Update
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-28)
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells, unique to initiate and coordinate the adaptive immune response. In pigs, conventional DCs (cDCs), plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), and ...
Development of an antigen Enzyme-Linked AptaSorbent Assay (ELASA) for the detection of swine influenza virus in field samples
(Elsevier, 2021-08-09)
Influenza viruses are highly variable pathogens that infect a wide range of mammalian and avian species. According to the internal conserved proteins (nucleoprotein: NP, and matrix proteins: M), these ...
Biosecurity in pig farms: a review
(BMC, 2021-01-04)
The perception of the importance of animal health and its relationship with biosecurity has increased in recent years with the emergence and re-emergence of several diseases difficult to control. This ...
The use of a whole inactivated PRRS virus vaccine administered in sows and impact on maternally derived immunity and timing of PRRS virus infection in piglets
(Wiley, 2022-04-05)
Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccination is usually based on administering periodically PRRS modified live virus (MLV) in sows throughout their life. Using ...
Diversity of influenza A viruses retrieved from respiratory disease outbreaks and subclinically infected herds in Spain (2017-2019)
(Wiley, 2020-07-03)
The present study was aimed to assess the diversity of influenza A viruses (IAV) circulating in pig farms in the Iberian Peninsula. The study included two different situations: farms suffering respiratory ...
Development of pig conventional dendritic cells from bone marrow hematopoietic cells in vitro
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-08)
In recent years, porcine dendritic cells (DCs) have been identified from pig tissues. However, studying the interaction of porcine DCs with pathogens is still difficult due to the scarcity of DCs in ...
Activation of regulated cell death in the lung of piglets infected with virulent PRRSV-1 Lena strain occurs earlier and mediated by cleaved Caspase-8
(BMC, 2021-01-22)
PRRSV-1 virulent strains cause high fever, marked respiratory disease and severe lesions in lung and lymphoid organs. Regulated cell death (RCD), such as apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, is triggered ...
Diversity of respiratory viruses present in nasal swabs under influenza suspicion in respiratory disease cases of weaned pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10-19)
Respiratory diseases in weaned pigs are a common problem, with a complex etiology involving both viruses and bacteria. In the present study, we investigated the presence of eleven viruses in nasal swabs, ...
