Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between Streptococcus suis serotype 2 and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in specific pathogen-free piglets.
TL;DR: It is suggested that PRRSV predisposes sSPF pigs to infection and disease caused by virulent S suis serotype 2 and co-infection of piglets withPRRSV and a virulent strain of S su is may provide a useful model for the study of Ssuis septicaemia and meningitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a nested polymerase chain reaction assay to detect Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae from nasal swabs.
TL;DR: A nested PCR using 2 species-specific sets of primers from the 16S ribosomal DNA gave positive results with as little as 80 microorganisms and did not cross-react with other mycoplasma species or with other microorganisms commonly found in the respiratory tract of pigs.
Journal Article
Transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus by fomites (boots and coveralls)
TL;DR: Six groups of 4-week-old pigs from aPRRSV-naive source were organized into six groups individually housed in isolation rooms, and investigators exposed to Group 1 pigs attempted to transmit PRRSV to sentinel pigs (Groups 2 to 5) by contact.
Journal Article
Airborne transmission of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in nursery pigs
TL;DR: A pleuropneumoniae was transmitted by air at a distance of 1 m when pigs were fully susceptible to the organism, and transmission of PRRSV appeared to be strain dependent.
Journal Article

TL;DR: Results indicate that mechanical transmission of PRRSV can occur during coordinated sequence of events in cold weather.
