Journal ArticleDOI
Phagocytosis and killing of Streptococcus suis by porcine neutrophils
TL;DR: Results showed that suilysin is toxic to neutrophils and this could help S. suis evade innate immunity and the induction of a strong humoral response is beneficial for clearance of this pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal-piglet weight variation and its relation to pre-weaning mortality and weight gain on commercial farms.
TL;DR: Neonatal piglets with weights well below the range of most of the litter had an increased risk of dying and were unable to obtain normal weight gains by weaning if they survived, and small piglets had a greater risk for poor survival and weight gain compared to their heavier litter-mates.

Selective breeding provides an approach to increase resistance of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) to the diseases, enteric redmouth disease, rainbow trout fry syndrome, and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia

TL;DR: The additive genetic variation detected for resistance demonstrates that selectively breeding trout for resistance to ERM, RTFS, and VHS will be successful, providing a complementary approach to control these diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactogenic immunity and vaccines for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV): historical and current concepts.
TL;DR: Identifying factors that influence lactogenic immunity and the gut-mammary-sIgA axis may lead to improved vaccine regimens for PEDV and other enteric pathogens in gestating swine and improved overall herd immunity, swine health and industry productivity.

Epidemiological Investigation of the Influence of Environmental Risk Factors on Respiratory Diseases in Swine—A Literature Review
TL;DR: The influence of environmental and management factors on respiratory diseases in pigs is reviewed from an epidemiological point of view, suggesting a causal web of factor interaction that provides considerable challenges for current epidemiological techniques.
