(Frontiers Media, 2021-08-17)
Background: Haemophilus parasuis (Hps; now Glaesserella parasuis) is an infectious agent that causes severe arthritis in swines and shares sequence similarity with residues 261–273 of collagen type 2 ...
Sow Vaccination with a Protein Fragment against Virulent Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis Modulates Immunity Traits in Their Offspring
(MDPI, 2021-05-20)
Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis, an early colonizer of the nasal cavity in piglets, is a highly heterogeneous species, comprising both commensal and virulent strains. Virulent G. parasuis strains ...
Sow Contact Is a Major Driver in the Development of the Nasal Microbiota of Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-06-03)
The nasal microbiota composition is associated with the health status of piglets. Sow-contact in early life is one of the factors influencing the microbial composition in piglets; however, its impact ...
Risk factors associated withStreptococcus suiscases on pigfarms in Spain
(Wiley, 2023-06-03)
Background
Streptococcus suis can cause meningitis, polyarthritis and acute death in piglets. However, the risk factors associated with S. suis infection remain incompletely understood. Therefore, a ...

Heterogeneity of Moraxella isolates found in the nasal cavities of piglets
(BMC, 2020-01-30)
Background
Previous studies have shown that the genus Moraxella is commonly present in the nasal microbiota of swine.
Results

Limited Interactions between Streptococcus Suis and Haemophilus Parasuis in In Vitro Co-Infection Studies
(MDPI, 2018-01-06)
Streptococcus suis and Haemophilus parasuis are normal inhabitants of the porcine upper
respiratory tract but are also among the most frequent causes of disease in weaned piglets worldwide,
causing ...
