TL;DR: The isolation of M. tuberculosis from pigs suggests a possible risk of transmission between humans and pigs, and establishing feasible control methods is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and characterization of porcine sapoviruses from asymptomatic animals in Irish farms.
TL;DR: Circulation of SaVs in asymptomatic animals might be a mechanism of virus persistence in porcine populations and should be considered with respect to understanding the epidemiology of these viruses in porCine herds.

TL;DR: Early weaning and Isowean—a modification of early weaning in which the sows farrow at the source farm—are used to obtain weaned piglets free from certain infectious agents that are endemic in the herd.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time series analysis of the prevalence of Ascaris suum infections in pigs using abattoir condemnation data
TL;DR: A univariate time series model is identified for the recorded prevalence of condemnations due to cirrhotic lesions in pig livers and demonstrates a very highly significant upward trend in the occurrence of Ascaris suum infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR-based identification of serotype 2 isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biovars I and II.
TL;DR: The serotype 2 PCR assay proved to be highly specific and reliable for the identification of serotypes 2 isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae.
