Mycoplasma conjunctivae in insect vectors and anatomic locations related to transmission and persistence
(Elsevier, 2018-11-12)
Mycoplasma conjunctivae is an obligate microparasite that causes Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) in Caprinae species. IKC is a long-recognised disease, but little attention has been paid to the ...
Typeability of MALDI-TOF assay for identification of non-aureus staphylococci associated with bovine intramammary infections and teat apex colonization
(Elsevier, 2018-08-09)
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF), a culture-dependent assay, has recently been implemented for routine identification of non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) species from ...
Supplementary feeding stations for conservation of vultures could be an important source of monophasic Salmonella typhimurium 1,4,[5],12:i:-
(Elsevier, 2018-04-27)
Vultures are nature's most successful scavengers, feeding on the carcasses of dead animals present in the field. Availability of domestic carrion has been unstable due to rapidly changing agro-grazing ...
Comparison of vaccination protocols against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae during the gilt acclimation period
(Elsevier, 2018-12-12)
This study evaluated different gilt vaccination protocols againstMycoplasma (M.) hyopneumoniaeat acclimationand their effect on the genetic diversity. A total of 180M. hyopneumoniaenaïve gilts were ...
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 ...
Acclimation strategies in gilts to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
This paper discusses what can be expected with regard to efficacy of antibacterial vaccines used in swine, based on the present knowledge of pathogen–host interactions. First, vaccination against bacteria ...
Communications of Staphylococcus aureus and non-aureus Staphylococcus species from bovine intramammary infections and teat apex colonization
(Elsevier, 2018-05-16)
The role of non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) in the risk of acquisition of intramammary infections with Staphylococcus aureus is vague and still under debate. The objectives of this study were to (1) ...
Characterization of the attachment and infection by Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 1 isolates in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells
(Elsevier, 2018-08-11)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is known to infect porcine dendritic cells (DC). Previous studies indicated that different PRRSV1 isolates regulated differently the cytokine ...
Revisiting the genetic diversity of classical swine fever virus: A proposal for new genotyping and subgenotyping schemes of classification
(Wiley, 2018-05-25)
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious febrile viral disease caused by CSF virus (CSFV), and it is considered one of the most important infectious diseases that affect domestic pigs and wild ...
