Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs.
TL;DR: The main effects of vaccination include less clinical symptoms, lung lesions and medication use, and improved performance, however, bacterins provide only partial protection and do not prevent colonization of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of porcine circovirus type 2 load in serum quantified by a real time PCR in postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome naturally affected pigs.
TL;DR: A new TaqMan real time PCR assay is described and its use to quantify viral load in serum samples suggests that high viral load is a major feature of PMWS affected pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccination of conventional pigs prevents viremia against PCV2 isolates of different genotypes and geographic origins.
TL;DR: The efficacy of a subunit vaccine containing PCV2 capsid protein was evaluated by using a challenge model with four differentPCV2 isolates of different genotype and geographic origin and prevented the development of viremia in all cases as well as significantly decreased nasal and faecal shedding of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Update on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs: Knowledge gaps for improved disease control.
TL;DR: The present paper reviews the current knowledge on M. hyopneumoniae infections, with emphasis on identification and analysis of knowledge gaps for optimizing control of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results suggest that PCV2 genotype 1 may potentially be more pathogenic than PCV 2 genotype 2 and infection of single pigs from PMWS affected farms harbouring both genotypes is described.
