Impact of maternally derived immunity on immune responses elicited by piglet early vaccination against the most common pathogens involved in porcine respiratory disease complex
(BMC, 2022-03-16)
Background
Newborn piglets can trigger an elementary immune response, but the acquirement of specific antibodies and/or cellular immunity against pathogens before they get infected post-natally is ...
Longitudinal Study of Fecal Microbiota in Calves with or without Diarrhea Episodes before Weaning
(MDPI, 2022-08-29)
The microbiota plays an important role in the development of diarrhea in pre-weaned calves. The characterization of the fecal microbiota in health and disease can be critical to unravel the bacterial ...
Cross-protection against African swine fever virus upon intranasal vaccination is associated with an adaptive-innate immune crosstalk
(Public Library of Science, 2022-11-09)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is causing a worldwide pandemic affecting the porcine industry and leading to important global economic consequences. The virus causes a highly lethal hemorrhagic disease ...
Rules of thumb to obtain, isolate, and preserve porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(Elsevier, 2022-07-16)
One of the most used biospecimens in immunology are peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC are particularly useful when evaluating immunity through responses of circulating B- and T-cells, ...
The FlagT4G Vaccine Confers a Strong and Regulated Immunity and Early Virological Protection against Classical Swine Fever
(MDPI, 2022-09-02)
Control of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in endemic countries relies on vaccination, mostly using vaccines that do not allow for differentiation of vaccinated from infected animals (DIVA). FlagT4G ...

Estimated quantity of swine virus genomes based on quantitative PCR analysis in spray-dried porcine plasma samples collected from multiple manufacturing plants
(Public Library of Science, 2022-05-23)
This survey was conducted to estimate the incidence and level of potential viral contamination in commercially collected porcine plasma. Samples of spray dried porcine plasma (SDPP) were collected over ...
Bona fide atypical scrapie faithfully reproduced for the first time in a rodent model
(BMC, 2022-12-13)
Atypical Scrapie, which is not linked to epidemics, is assumed to be an idiopathic spontaneous prion disease in small ruminants. Therefore, its occurrence is unlikely to be controlled through selective ...
Influence of dietary n-3 long-chain fatty acids on microbial diversity and composition of sows’ feces, colostrum, milk, and suckling piglets’ feces
(Frontiers Media, 2022-12-05)
Introduction: Very little is known about the impact of n-3 long-chain fatty acids (n-3 LCFAs) on the microbiota of sows and their piglets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of n-3 LCFA ...
Descriptive analyses of maternally-derived antibody levels against porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) in 3-and 21-day-old piglets from farms of four European countries using different vaccination protocols in sows
(BMC, 2022-10-03)
Background
Up to now, information on the levels of maternally-derived antibodies (MDA) against PCV-2 in suckling piglets born to sows vaccinated with different strategies is scarce in the literature. ...
