Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection at the maternal/fetal interface and in the fetus

TL;DR: In this article, RNA-sequencing of two sites, uterine endothelium with adherent placental tissue and fetal thymus, was performed 21 days post-challenge on four groups of fetuses selected from a large PRRSV challenge experiment of pregnant gilts: control (CON), uninfected (UNINF), infected (INF) and meconium-stained (MEC) (n = 12/group).
Journal ArticleDOI

Birth Weight, Intrauterine Growth Retardation and Fetal Susceptibility to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus

TL;DR: This study clearly demonstrates that birth weight is a transgenerational trait in pigs, and provides evidence that larger fetuses are more susceptible to transplacental PRRSv infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis of disease resilience in wean-to-finish pigs from a natural disease challenge model

TL;DR: Performance and resilience traits under a polymicrobial disease challenge are heritable and can be changed by selection, and Phenotypes extracted from feed intake patterns can be used as genetic indicator traits for disease resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection increases apoptosis at the maternal-fetal interface in late gestation pregnant gilts.

TL;DR: An important role of apoptosis is suggested in the pathogenesis of uterine epithelial and trophoblastic cell death at the MFI, which is significantly associated with fetal demise during in utero type 2 PRRSV infection.
