DETECTION OF HEPATITIS E VIRUS ON SWINE FARMS IN POLAND.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of hepatitis E in humans. Pigs are one of the main reservoirs for genotypes 3 and 4. Little is known about the circulation of HEV on swine farms and the effect of infection on health status of pigs. The objectives of the study were to demonstrate HEV circulation on Polish swine farms and the presence of the virus in serum, oral fluid and feces.

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES OF PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS TYPE 3 INFECT A SWINE PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN MEXICO CITY

In the United States and China, the presence of porcine circovirus type 3 (PCv3) has been described emerging disease that occurs mainly causing reproductive failures in females. Currently, in Mexico the presence of PCv3 has not been reported, however, in recent years has been detected increase in the number of cases of sows with reproductive failures, discarding the presence of other infectious agents present in national territory.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 5 STEPS PROCESS PLATFORM FOR PRRS CONTROL IN A FARM IN SPAIN

PRRS is one of the most damaging diseases in the swine industry, having negative effects typically affecting breeding herd reproductive parameters as well as pig productivity parameters. Controlling the infection is key to keep the systems producing at target levels and involves sow herd stabilization as well as an active pig protection.

MODELLING AFRICAN SWINE FEVER INTRODUCTION AND GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION IN FRANCE AND EVALUATION OF DETECTION AND CONTROL POTENTIAL

Being a notifiable disease, the emergence of African swine fever in disease-free countries has huge economic consequences mainly due to export ban. Moreover, with a case fatality rate close to 100%, ASF represents a major threat for the swine industry. Recent ASF outbreaks in eastern Europe revealed the need of prospective approaches to analyse the consequences of the introduction and spread of ASF at the country level.

SUBCLINICAL PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS TYPE 2 (PCV2) INFECTION: DETERMINATION OF DIFFERENT HERD PROFILES SPLIT ACCORDING TO AN OPTIMAL SEROLOGICAL CRITERION

PCV2 is associated with various disease conditions known as porcine circovirus diseases (PCVD). PCV2 infection dynamics play a role in PCVD. However, few data are available on PCV2 infection dynamics in herds without signs of PCVD. The study aimed at 1/ assessing PCV2 infection dynamics in herds with subclinical PCV2 disease and without PCV2 piglet vaccination and 2/ identifying a serological criterion to discriminate between PCV2 infection profiles.

INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPACTS AND DYNAMICS OF SWINE INFLUENZA VIRUS IN DANISH SWINE HERDS

To investigate the impacts and dynamics of influenza a virus (IAV) in Denmark, a longitudinal study was performed in four Danish herds with production of pigs from 0-12 weeks. Four batches of pigs were included from each herd. One batch consisted of four sows with each five of their own piglets ear tagged at birth. All herds were monitored over a four month period.

KINETICS OF EXPRESSION OF CD163 AND CD107A IN THE LUNG AND TONSILS OF PIGS AFTER INFECTION WITH PRRSV-1 STRAINS OF DIFFERING VIRULENCE

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most important diseases of the porcine industry worldwide. Highly pathogenic strains (HP-PRRSV) causing atypical outbreaks have been notified, stressing the marked genetic and antigenic viral variability, which has encouraged the interest to understand the immunobiology of PRRSV strains of differing virulence.

ANALYSIS OF VIRAL POPULATIONS AFTER EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION WITH PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS 2 AND ASSOCIATION WITH DIFFERENT CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

The within-host diversity is known to play a relevant role in the pathogenesis of rapidly evolving viruses, affecting their ability to evade the host immune response and conditioning the tissue tropism. Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is a rapidly evolving virus and can establishes relatively longlasting infection. Therefore, it has the potential for developing relevant within-host heterogeneity, with consequences that have never been investigated.

PRRS RISK ASSESSMENT OF DUTCH SOW HERDS USING COMBAT

COMBAT is a questionnaire tool to assess farm associated PRRSV risk factors by looking at variable risks: Internal, External, Management and Location. In this overview we tried to have an insight in the most relevant risk factors for PRRSV infections of sow herds in the Netherlands, using COMBAT.

THE USE OF PROCESSING FLUIDS COMPARED TO SERUM FOR DETERMINATION THE PRRS TYPE 1 STATUS OF NEONATAL PIGLETS ON A COMMERCIAL DUTCH FARM

For diagnosing early (vertical) PRRS-infections, a lot of piglets have to be bled. Bleeding new born piglets is stressful and time consuming which can only be done by well-trained people. Recent findings from the US indicate the possibility of using processing fluids (PF) for diagnosing early PRRS-type 2 infections.

NO EVIDENCE OF PCV2 INFECTION OF PIGLETS IN 60 DANISH SOW HERDS

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection in sows can result in irregular rebreeders, abortion and weak newborn piglets. The extent of PCV2 related reproductive problems and impact on the status of suckling piglets has never been investigated in Denmark. Hence, this study investigated the occurrence of PCV2 in piglets.

CLINICAL RESEARCH TOOLS FOR PRRSV GROWTH AND DETECTION

The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an economically important disease worldwide causing reproductive failure in sows and respiratory symptoms in piglets. The main target cells of PRRSV are alveolar macrophages (AMph). The growth of PRRSV in vitro is not consistently achieved in cell lines like MARC-145 cells. Primary porcine macrophages are susceptible to PRRSV.
