Evidence of indirect transmission of classical swine fever virus through contacts with people.
experimentally inoculated and susceptible weaner pigs was used to examine the potential indirect transmission of classical swine fever (CSF) virus by people wearing contaminated boots, gloves and coveralls. The ...
Factors related to the incidence of clinical encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infection on Belgian pig farms.
Swine Swine Diseases Abstract: We set up a matched case-control study of potential risk factors for clinical encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) in 58 pig farms in West Flanders (Belgium). In total, 29 ...
Comparative evaluation of six ELISAs for the detection of antibodies to the non-structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus.
non-structural proteins of FMD virus. The sera came from naïve, vaccinated, infected and vaccinated-and-infected animals; two-thirds from cattle, the remainder from sheep and pigs. The assays were covariant for ...
Comparison of molecular techniques for the typing of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae isolates.
resemblance between strains isolated from different pigs from the same herd. On the other hand, none of the techniques was able to show a clear relationship between the country of origin and the fingerprints ...
A multiplex PCR to identify porcine mycoplasmas present in broth cultures.
hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma flocculare can be present in the lungs of pigs at the same time. These three mycoplasma species all require similar growth conditions and can be recovered from ...
Genetic variability of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) isolates.
regions and inducing different clinical pictures in pigs have been molecularly characterised. The regions targeted were the poly(C) tract, a part of the 5’- UTR (360 nucleotides), the Leader gene (201 ...
Estimation of seroprevalence of encephalomyocarditis in Dutch sow herds using the virus neutralization test.
found on pig farms worldwide and can cause myocarditis in young pigs and reproduction disorders in sows. So far, clinical signs of EMCV have not been reported in the Netherlands. The aim of this study was ...
Evaluation of the epidemiological importance of classical swine fever infected, E2 sub-unit marker vaccinated animals with RT-nPCR positive blood samples.
Pregnancy Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction Swine Vaccination Vaccines, Marker Vaccines, Subunit Viral Vaccines Abstract: It has been demonstrated that pigs that have been double vaccinated with ...
The diversity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae within and between herds using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
clustered differently in both dendrograms, illustrated by a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of only 0.33. A much higher similarity was observed with isolates originating from different pigs of a same herd. ...
Binding and entry characteristics of porcine circovirus 2 in cells of the porcine monocytic line 3D4/31.
Swine Virion Wasting Syndrome Abstract: Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is associated with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome and reproductive problems in pigs. Cells of the monocyte/macrophage ...
