Economic impact of swIAV outbreak in a 1000 sow herd

Swine influenza (swIAV) is a highly contagious respiratory infection with substantial economic consequences due to medication costs, pigs’ growth retardation and decrease of reproductive performance in affected sow herds.The objective of this study was...

Active surveillance of PRRSV in breeding, nursery and finishing farms from carcasses

The use of processing fluids is a sensitive tool to monitorize PRRSV status in a cost-effective way. The use of removed parts of carcasses could be a used as an aggregated sample to evaluate the presence of PRRSV. The main objective of this study is to...

Analyses of tonsillar microbiome in PRRSV vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated gilts after experimental infection with two different PRRSV-1 field isolates

Tonsils are a reservoir for host-specific pathogens and commensal organisms, mostly bacteria and viruses. The resident tonsillar microbiome is assumed to interact with incoming pathogens by preventing colonization via competitive exclusion. The present...

Serological survey in wild boar in the Netherlands

Despite a zero-tolerance policy, the wild boar population in the Netherlands is increasing in numbers and extending its habitat. Growing numbers of wild boar are living in the immediate vicinity of commercial pig farms. With African Swine Fever (ASF)...

African swine fever in wild boar ecology and biosecurity FAO Manual

The spread of the African swine virus genotype II into the Eurasiatic wild pig population was unprecedented; the increased densities in wild pig that had taken place in eastern and central Europe over the past few decades was a prime environment for the ASF virus to expand its geographical distributional range. Climate change and extensive cereal production enhanced local wild pig densities and expanded their geographical distribution.

DEEP-SEQUENCING CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO ROTAVIRUS A OUTBREAKS IN SUCKLING PIGLETS IN CATALONIA REVEALS A HIGH FREQUENCY OF RECOMBINATION EVENTS

Group A rotaviruses are one of the main causes of diarrhoea in pigs worldwide. In the present study, two outbreaks of diarrhoea in suckling pigs were investigated. Four rotavirus A isolates were deep sequenced and analysed to characterize the genetic diversity and identify recombination events.

PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS 2 WITHIN-HOST VARIABILITY, CO-INFECTION AND RECOMBINATION UNDER A NATURAL INFECTION SCENARIO

Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is a virus characterized by high evolutionary rate, which promotes the potential emergence of different genotypes and strains. Despite the likely relevance in the emergence of new PCV2 variants, the subtle evolutionary patterns of PCV2 at individual-host level or over short transmission chains are still largely unknown.

DIVERSITY OF PRRS STRAINS CIRCULATING IN CANADA

PRRS sequencing is widely used and considered essential for the control of PRRS in Canada. Through several signed agreements, a structure was put into place and has allowed achievement of near real-time transfer of all sequences to our research team from 3 different laboratories in Quebec.

PRRS VIRUS SURVEILLANCE; ROLE OF VIRUS SEQUENCING AND VIRUS DETECTION BY PCR

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly infectious disease, endemic in pigs throughout the world. PRRS is caused by a single stranded positive-sense RNA enveloped virus with a high mutation rate leading to greater heterogeneity of the nucleotide sequence between individual strains.

THE USE OF ROUTINE SEQUENCING ACTIVITY TO MONITOR THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRAJECTORIES OF PRRSV IN ITALY

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major threat to European swine production and Italian pig industry. Viral evolution analysis in terms of genetic variability over time and space is one of the challenging issue in the PRRSV control mostly in swine production area characterized by high pig density, fragmentation of the production chain and lack of high biosecurity levels.

FULL GENOME CHARACTERIZATION AND PREVALENCE OF PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS TYPE 3 ISOLATES FROM GERMAN FATTENING FARMS

Recently a novel porcine circovirus called porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) was reported from the Americas, Asia and Europe. PCV3 was detected with high prevalence in Polish farms, but to date no genome sequences were available from European PCV3 strains. The present study was performed to estimate the PCV3 prevalence in German fattening farms and to further characterize available PCV3 isolates.

DEVELOPMENT OF A REAL-TIME RT-PCR FOR DIFFERENTIAL DETECTION OF REASSORTANT H1N2 (H1N2R) SWINE INFLUENZA VIRUS

Endemic swine influenza virus (swIAV) strains including H1avN1, H1huN2 have been circulating in Great Britain (GB) for decades. In 2009, H1N1pdm09 became the dominant strain detected followed by H1N2 and the rapid decline of H1avN1 detections. An H1N2-H1N1pdm09 virus reassortant was detected in 2010; comprising H1 haemagglutinin (HA) and N2 neuraminidase (NA) surface glycoproteins with the H1N1pdm09 internal cassette.

CHANGES OF T AND B LYMPHOCYTES IN TISSUES AND BLOOD OF PIGS EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED WITH AN ITALIAN HIGHLY PATHOGENIC PRRSV-1.1 ISOLATE

Highly pathogenic (HP) PRRSV recently emerged in Europe. The disease is characterized by high fever and respiratory distress in young pigs and high mortality rates and reproductive failure in sows. HP-PRRSV isolates can alter the pathological outcome differently from “conventional” PRRSV, in terms of more severe clinical signs and more intense dysregulation of cellular immunity.

1ST CASE REPORT: REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT AFTER PCV2 SOW VACCINATION IN SPAIN

PCV2 can be associated with reproductive failure and cause infertility and increased rates of mummified, macerated, stillborn and weak-born piglets. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of PCV2 sow vaccination on several reproductive parameters in a Spanish sow herd.
