Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) interaction with Haemophilus parasuis
TL;DR: Investigation of the interaction between porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSv) and Haemophilus parasuis in piglets found that immunomodulating virus effect may explain the differences in terms of lesions severity between groups I and II.

The effects of providing sawdust to pre-parturient sows in farrowing crates on sow behaviour, the duration of parturition and the occurrence of intra-partum stillborn piglets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the application of sawdust during the pre-partum period appeared to stimulate prepartum activity in younger sows, including root/nose/paw behavior, which may, in turn, positively affect the process of parturition and reduce overlaying of piglets.

Streptococcus suis interactions with the murine macrophage cell line J774: adhesion and cytotoxicity.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that attachment of bacteria to phagocytes could play an important role in the pathogenesis of S. suis infection by allowing bacterial dissemination and causing a bacteremia and/or septicemia and this interaction could be related to the activation of the host inflammatory response observed during meningitis.
