Proof of concept for the reduction of classical swine fever infection in pigs by a novel viral polymerase inhibitor.

piglets. The compound, administered in feed, was readily bioavailable and was well tolerated. Eight specific-pathogen-free pigs received a daily dose of 75 mg kg(-1) (mixed in feed) for a period of 15 ...

Type and frequency of contacts between Belgian pig herds.

Animals Belgium Disease Transmission, Infectious Swine Swine Diseases Transportation Abstract: Knowledge of the frequency of direct and indirect contacts between pig herds is a requirement for understanding ...

Brucella suis identification and biovar typing by real-time PCR.

Abstract: Fast and accurate identification of Brucella suis at the biovar level is an important issue for public health laboratories because some of the biovars that infect suidae (boars and pigs) are ...

Application of a Commercial Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever: Evaluation by Testing Sequential Tissue and Blood Samples

surveillance of classical swine fever (CSF) was evaluated in an experimental setup on a group of 28 pigs infected with a moderately virulent classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain of wild boar origin (‘11722- ...

Isolation and characterization of Helicobacter suis sp. nov. from pig stomachs.

stomach and gastritis in pigs and formerly described as ‘Candidatus Helicobacter suis’. Three isolates, HS1 (T), HS2 and HS3, were subcultured from the stomach mucosa of three pigs after slaughter and were ...

A survey on biosecurity and management practices in Belgian pig herds.

pig herds to describe their biosecurity status and management practices. Our written questionnaire was sent to a stratified random sample of 609 pig farms. We achieved a 71.6% response, and 42⅙09 ...

Methicillin-resistant and-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 398 in pigs and humans.

aureus sequence type 398 (ST398 MRSA) was identified in Dutch pigs and pig farmers. ST398 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus circulates among humans at low frequency (0.2%) but was isolated in 3 human cases ...

Validation of two commercial real-time RT-PCR kits for rapid and specific diagnosis of classical swine fever virus.

pigs or naturally infected wild boars. The reproducibility of the assays was confirmed by the analysis of a batch-to-batch panel control that was used for inter-laboratory tests involving nine ...

Association of myocarditis with high viral load of porcine circovirus type 2 in several tissues in cases of fetal death and high mortality in piglets. A case study.

of 1.5 months, a newly established pig herd experienced a high number of mummifications and stillbirths, a high neonatal mortality rate, and many piglets with congenital tremors or hind leg ataxia. ...
