Genetic diversity of group A rotaviruses associated with repeated outbreaks of diarrhea in a farrow-to-finish farm: identification of a porcine rotavirus strain bearing a novel VP7 genotype, G26
TL;DR: Investigation of the molecular characteristics of GARs that caused four outbreaks of diarrhea among suckling pigs in a farrow-to-finish farm over the course of a year revealed genetic diversity that could have resulted not only from the introduction of new GAR strains, but also from gene reassortment between G AR strains within the farm.

The effect of antimicrobial growth promoter withdrawal on the health of weaned pigs in Finland.
TL;DR: The level of antimicrobial use for treatment of diarrhoea after weaning (and the incidence of diarrhea in weaned piglets) did not increase significantly after the withdrawal of AGPs from weaner feeds according to farmers' evaluations.

Brucellosis due to Brucella suis in a swine herd associated with a human clinical case in the State of São Paulo, Brazil
TL;DR: The findings suggest that despite a reduction of swine brucellosis throughout Brazil, B. suis infection still occurs, thereby posing a zoonotic risk.

TL;DR: The results presented in this study demonstrate three subsets of genes consistently expressed at different levels depending upon infection status, which may lead to a better understanding of innate immunity in pigs.

Age-dependent changes of proinflammatory cytokine production by porcine peripheral blood phagocytes.
TL;DR: The ability of porcine blood leukocytes to produce cytokines develops during postnatal life, and the ability of newborn monocytes and neutrophils to produce proinflammatory cytokines was not decreased due to the influence of composition of the microenvironment, where the cells were present.
