Abstract:
... This study aimed to assess the relationship between quantitative assessments of clinical signs of respiratory disease (recorded manually and automatically) and the prevalence of lung lesions at slaughter to validate the use of both in the management of respiratory disease on farm. This was an observational study where pigs (n = 1573) were monitored from 25 ± 5.3 kg (week 12) to slaughter at 114 ± ...
... Blastocystis sp. is a common pathogen that infects the intestines of humans and animals, causing a threat to public health. However, little information on the prevalence and subtypes of Blastocystis sp. in diarrheic pigs in China is available. Herein, 1254 fecal samples were collected from diarrheic pigs in 37 intensive pig farms in Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces in southern China, and the p ...

Abstract:
... Changes in the incidence of porcine cysticercosis is used commonly in the assessment of efforts to control the transmission of Taenia solium, the cause of human neurocysticercosis. Although cysticerci may occasionally occur in tissues other than the striated muscles, particularly the brain, infection in pigs can be diagnosed reliably by assessment of muscle tissue alone. ...
... Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is a single-stranded RNA virus from the family Flaviviridae, which is linked to congenital tremor (CT) type A-II in newborn piglets. Here, we retrospectively investigated the molecular evolution of APPV on an affected herd between 2013 and 2019. Monitoring was done at regular intervals, and the same genotype of APPV was found during the entire study period, sugge ...
... Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection in neonatal piglets can cause up to 100% mortality, resulting in significant economic loss in the swine industry. Like other coronaviruses, PEDV N protein is a nucleocapsid protein and abundantly presents at all stages of infection. Previously, we reported that the N protein of trypsin-independent PEDV 8aa is cleaved during virus replication. In thi ...

Abstract:
... Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) causes a serious zoonotic disease worldwide, pig is the reservoir and amplifying host of JEV. JEV can persist infect tonsil in pig, but the relation between persist infection in tonsil and reservoir are not clear until now. A stable pig tonsil cell line is necessary for JEV persist infection research. In this study, we established a continuous epithelial cell line ...
... Zinc treatment is beneficial for infectious diarrhea or colitis. This study aims to characterize the pathomechanisms of the epithelial barrier dysfunction caused by alpha-hemolysin (HlyA)-expressing Escherichia coli in the colon mucosa and the mitigating effects of zinc ions.We performed Ussing chamber experiments on porcine colon epithelium and infected the tissues with HlyA-producing E. coli. Co ...
... Simplified monomeric monoclonal antibodies consisting of a single-domain VHH, derived from camelid heavy-chain only antibodies, fused with the Fc domain of either IgG (VHH-IgG) or IgA (VHH-IgA) antibodies, are promising therapeutic proteins. These simplified single-gene encoded antibodies are much easier to manufacture and can be produced in plants and in yeast for bulk applications. These merits ...
... Pentalogy of Cantrell (PC) is a complex body wall defect, involving the abdominal wall, sternum, diaphragm, pericardium and heart. We report on six stillborn piglets with anomalous umbilical cord (UC), cranio-umbilical abdominal defect, cleft sternum, incomplete diaphragm and pericardium, ectopia cordis and intracardiac anomalies. Anomalous UC was defined as a single umbilical artery (SUA) and/or ...

Abstract:
... Body wall defects (BWDs) are not well studied and categorized in veterinary medicine. BWDs can be an isolated occurrence, but often occur with other major developmental abnormalities. Thirty-two body wall malformations of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are presented and classified, distinguishing between body wall dysplasia (umbilical hernia, abdominal wall distension and gastroschisis), om ...
... Astroviruses (AstVs) cause disease in a wide variety of species. Porcine AstVs are highly genetically diverse and conventionally assigned to five genetic lineages (PoAstV1-5). Due to the increasing evidence that porcine astrovirus type 3 (PoAstV3) is a cause of encephalomyelitis in swine and to elucidate important ecologic characteristics, the infection dynamics and environmental distribution of P ...

... Since its first identification in 2016, porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) has been detected in healthy and/or diseased swine in many countries worldwide. In a previous study by our group, PCV3 was detected in sera of sows which had at least one stillborn piglet in the last parturition. As such, it became important to investigate if the presence of PCV3 in sows' sera could be associated to the occurrence ...

Abstract:
... Efforts are required to develop foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccines in Asia that can respond to the type O outbreaks that have continued with the devastating damage since 2010. It is necessary to develop vaccine strains that can provide protection against the ME-SA topotype, which has tended to spread into neighboring areas, and the frequent SEA topotype outbreaks. To this end, this study aimed ...

Abstract:
... Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes serious reproductive failure and respiratory disease in pigs. Although numerous vaccines were developed against the virus, licensed vaccines showed limited efficacy. Here, we describe the construction and optimization of Lactobacillus plantarum expression system of PRRSV GP5 gene. The wild-type truncated GP5 or codon-optimized trun ...

Abstract:
... Microsporidia is a phylum of obligate emergent intracellular protist‐like fungi pathogens that infect a broad range of hosts including vertebrates and invertebrates. Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common cause of microsporidiosis in humans, affecting primarily immunosuppressed patients but also reported in immunocompetent individuals. Epidemiological information on the presence and molecular ...
... The porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) becomes an important causative agent of swine disease since its discovery in 2016. PCV3 infection exhibits a wide range of clinical syndromes causing substantial economic losses in swine industry. Previous studies have reported the detection of numerous known viruses including circovirus in mosquitoes. However, the transmission of PCV3 in field-caught mosquitoe ...

Abstract:
... VACTERL/VATER association is a condition defined by the presence of at least three of the following congenital malformations: vertebral defects (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac defects (C), tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TE), renal anomalies (R) and limb abnormalities (L). We describe a stillborn female piglet with cardiac anomalies, renal defects, vertebral anomalies, anal atresia and a single umbili ...
... Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCoV) infects the epithelial cells in the respiratory tract of pigs, causing a mild respiratory disease. We applied air–liquid interface (ALI) cultures of well-differentiated porcine airway cells to mimic the respiratory tract epithelium in vitro and use it for analyzing the infection by PRCoV. As reported for most coronaviruses, virus entry and virus release occu ...

Abstract:
... Bungowannah virus is a novel pestivirus identified from a disease outbreak in a piggery in Australia in June 2003. The aim of this study was to determine whether infection of pregnant pigs with Bungowannah virus induces the clinical signs and gross pathology observed during the initial outbreak and how this correlates with the time of infection. Twenty-four pregnant pigs were infected at one of fo ...

Abstract:
... Toxoplasma gondii is a pathogen that seriously threatens the health of humans and animals. However, the current infection status of T. gondii in slaughter pigs in Shanghai is still not clear. To investigate the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection and analyze the prevalence factors associated with the parasite infection, 1158 serum samples were collected from five slaughterhouses in three distric ...
