Journal ArticleDOI
Exudative epidermitis in pigs caused by toxigenic Staphylococcus chromogenes.
TL;DR: The results of this study show that S. chromogenes may cause exudative epidermitis in pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex PCR that can distinguish between immunologically cross- reactive serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains.

TL;DR: A highly sensitive and specific multiplex PCR, based on capsular loci and the species specific apxIV gene, that unequivocally differentiates serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains that are cross-reactive in conventional immunological tests is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Thermal and Non-Thermal Processing of Swine Feed and the Use of Selected Feed Additives on Inactivation of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV).
Michaela P. Trudeau,Harsha Verma,Fernando Sampedro,Pedro E Urriola,Gerald C Shurson,Jessica McKelvey,Suresh D. Pillai,Sagar M. Goyal +7 more
TL;DR: To compare thermal and electron beam processing, and the inclusion of feed additives on the inactivation of PEDV in feed, heating swine feed at temperatures over 130°C or eBeam processing of feed with a dose over 50 kGy are effective processing steps to reduce PEDv survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clonal analysis and virulence of Australian isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2.
TL;DR: Most caused disease if given in high numbers, but isolates in ET 1 were virulent at lower dose rates, and this virulent clone was distinguished by the fact that 80% of isolates produced extracellular factor (EF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex nested RT-PCR for the detection of porcine enteric viruses
Abid Nabil Ben Salem,A. Chupin Sergei,P. Bjadovskaya Olga,G. Andreeva Olga,Aouni Mahjoub,B. Prokhvatilova Larissa +5 more
TL;DR: The multiplex nested RT-PCR is rapid, sensitive, and a cost-effective detection method for the detection of porcine enteric viruses.
