Challenge of Pigs Previously Immunised with Inactivated Vaccines Containing Homologous and Heterologous Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Strains
All bacterins used evoked a serological response in the vaccinated animals and yet, after challenge with a highly virulent M. hyopneumoniae strain, there was no clear evidence of protection against clinical symptoms or lung lesions, according...

Clinical Presentation, Case Definition and Diagnostic Guidelines for Porcine Periweaning Failure to Thrive Syndrome
Although the aetiology and pathogenesis remain elusive, veterinary researchers in Canada and the US have shed some light on porcine periweaning failure to thrive syndrome (PFTS) in a new review paper.

BPEX Pig Health Scheme: a Useful Monitoring System for Respiratory Disease Control on Pig Farms?
Lesion scores reported by the BPEX Pig Health Scheme (BPHS) may reflect the presence of respiratory pathogens and these lesions may be indicative of reduced productivity, according to researchers at the UK's Royal Veterinary College in an initial assessment...

Yersinia enterocolitica: a Brief Review of the Issues
Information on the reservoirs, prevalence, virulence and the ability of this foodborne pathogen to survive in different environments needs to be investigated to provide rational measures to prevent or decrease associated disease risks, according to researchers...

Experimental Porcine Circovirus Type 1 (PCV1) Infections in Mid-Gestational Porcine Foetuses
PCV1 was generally thought to be non-pathogenic to pigs and this is among the first papers to be published on infections in piglets before birth. The virus can replicate and may produce pathology in the lungs of porcine foetuses inoculated at 55-days...

Factors Associated with the Occurrence of MRSA CC398 in Fattening Pigs in Germany
Just over half (52 per cent) of the farms tested had pigs that tested positive for this type of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to researchers at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment.

Longitudinal Study of Faecal Salmonella Shedding by Sows
Scientists in Italy report that young sows are more likely to shed Salmonella than older animals, that the post-weaning period is the high-risk period for excretion of Salmonella and that good biosecurity can reduce the Salmonella risk in weaned sows...
