Comparative Pathogenesis of Enteric Viral Infections of Swine
TL;DR: Knowledge of enteric viral replication sites and comparative mechanisms of diarrhea induction may lead to new or improved vaccine strategies or therapeutic approaches for the prevention or treatment of these viral diarrheas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological traits have the potential to improve selection of pigs for resistance to clinical and subclinical disease
TL;DR: The additive genetic variation shown for the immunological traits is encouraging for pig breeders and indicates that these traits are potentially useful as criteria to improve selection of pigs for resistance to clinical and subclinical disease.

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) samples from field cases in Fujian, China.
TL;DR: Investigation of molecular diversity, phylogenetic relationships, and protein characterization of Fujian field samples with other PEDV reference strains shows that each sample had unique characteristics, and the sample P55 may be differentiated from the others by the unique deletions and insertions of sM gene.

The occurrence of Bordetella bronchiseptica in pigs with clinical respiratory disease.
TL;DR: The results suggest that B. bronchiseptica infection is highly prevalent in pig farms in China, and is often accompanied by co-infection with other bacteria, including toxigenic Pasteurella multocida strains co-isolated with the bacterium.
