    Use of ELISAs for Monitoring Exposure of Pig Herds to <em>Brachyspira hyodysenteriae</em>

    Based on the three independent studies, researchers in Australia found IgG ELISAs using either WC or Bhlp29.7 as plate-coating antigens to be useful for monitoring the dynamics of B. hyodysenteriae infection in grower pigs, with certain advantages favouring the WC preparation. Meat juice samples collected from pigs on infected farms contained specific antibodies to B. hyodysenteriae and so they suggested that analysis of this material could be incorporated into routine health surveillance.

    Porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD) was most commonly observed in 12- to 16-week-old pigs, based on submissions to a diagnostic lab in the Midwest between 2003 and 2010, according to researchers at Iowa State University. Under experimental conditions, they found that 12-week-old pigs had significantly lower PCV2 antibody levels than younger pigs at the time of inoculation and significantly higher PCV2 viraemia levels after PCV2 inoculation. The effect of passively acquired antibodies protecting against PCV2 challenge was less evident in older pigs.
