Development of a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus M protein-based ELISA for virus detection.
TL;DR: A membrane (M), protein-based ELISA was developed to detect porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and immunofluorescence analysis indicated that the anti-P EDV-M antibody reacted with PEDV-infected cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brachyspira hyodysenteriae ftnA gene: DNA vaccination and real-time PCR quantification of bacteria in a mouse model of disease.
TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of the Brachyspira hyodysenteriae ftnA gene, encoding a putative ferritin protein (FtnA), was determined and evidence suggests that FtnA stores iron rather than haem.

TL;DR: Since the highly virulent strains under investigation are unlikely to produce other pili, the results suggest that pili might be dispensable for critical steps of the S. suis pathogenesis of infection.

The influenza pandemic of 2009: lessons and implications.
TL;DR: An overview of influenza infection since 1847 and the advent of influenza vaccination since 1944 is provided and immediate identification of impending epidemic and pandemic strains, as well as sustained vigilance and collaboration, demonstrate continued success in combating influenza.

Biochemical and haematological blood parameters of sows during pregnancy and lactation fed the diet with different source and activity of phytase
Anna Czech,Eugeniusz R. Grela +1 more
TL;DR: Irrespective of phytase activity in diet, a higher content of sodium and the elevated RBC and Ht levels, higher AP and LDH activity but lower activity of ALT and ATP-aseNa+K+ in the blood of sows during pregnancy in comparison with lactation was noted.
