Feeding Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma to Pigs Reduces African Swine Fever Virus Load in Infected Pigs and Delays Virus Transmission—Study 1
(MDPI, 2023-04-10)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential benefits of feeding spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) to pigs infected with African swine fever virus (ASFV). Two groups of twelve weaned pigs ...
Efficacy Studies of a Trivalent Vaccine Containing PCV-2a, PCV-2b Genotypes and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae When Administered at 3 Days of Age and 3 Weeks Later against Porcine Circovirus 2 (PCV-2) Infection
(MDPI, 2022-08-01)
Four studies under preclinical and clinical conditions were performed to evaluate the efficacy of a new trivalent vaccine against Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) infection. The product contained
inactivated ...
Review on the methodology to assess respiratory tract lesions in pigs and their production impact
(BMC, 2023-02-01)
Porcine respiratory disease is one of the most important health problems in pig production worldwide. Cranioventral pulmonary consolidation (CVPC) and pleurisy are the two most common lesions in the ...
Monitoring Natural SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Lions (Panthera leo) at the Barcelona Zoo: Viral Dynamics and Host Responses
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
To date, no evidence supports the fact that animals play a role in the epidemiology of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of the coronavirus infectious ...
Identification of microRNAs in PCV2 subclinically infected pigs by high throughput sequencing
(BMC, 2015-03-03)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential etiological infectious agent of PCV2-systemic disease and has been associated with other swine diseases, all of them collectively known as porcine ...
DNA vaccine based on conserved HA-peptides induces strong immune response and rapidly clears influenza virus infection from vaccinated pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-25)
Swine influenza virus (SIVs) infections cause a significant economic impact to the pork industry.
Moreover, pigs may act as mixing vessel favoring genome reassortment of diverse influenza
viruses. ...
Enhanced antiviral immunity and dampened inflammation in llama lymph nodes upon MERS-CoV sensing: bridging innate and adaptive cellular immune responses in camelid reservoirs
(Frontiers Media, 2023-06-14)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection can cause fatal pulmonary inflammatory disease in humans. Contrarily, camelids and bats are the main reservoir hosts, tolerant for ...
Pigs are not susceptible to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection but are a model for viral immunogenicity studies
(Wiley, 2020-10-02)
Conventional piglets were inoculated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through different routes, including intranasal, intratracheal, intramuscular and intravenous ones. ...
Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023-02-07)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clade B viruses are found in camelids and humans in the Middle East, but clade C viruses are not. We provide experimental evidence for extended ...
Frequency of PCV-2 viremia in nursery piglets from a Spanish swine integration system in 2020 and 2022 considering PRRSV infection status
(BMC, 2024-01-16)
Background Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV‑2) poses a signifcant economic threat for the swine industry, causing a range
of diseases collectively referred to as porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs). Despite ...
