TL;DR: The hypothesis that the 1918 pandemic influenza virus was able to infect and replicate in swine, causing a respiratory disease, and that the virus was likely introduced into the pig population during the 1918Pandemic, resulting in the current lineage of the classical H1N1 swine influenza viruses is supported.

Biocheck.UGent: A quantitative tool to measure biosecurity at broiler farms and the relationship with technical performances and antimicrobial use
TL;DR: The Biocheck.UGent scoring system has been developed to measure and quantify the level of biosecurity on broiler farms, and preliminary results show that despite the well-known importance of biOSEcurity, there's a lack of implementation of many bioseCurity measures and room for improvement.

TL;DR: In rural areas, swine cysticercosis occurs in high-risk hotspots around carriers where control interventions could be delivered, and swine seroprevalence appeared unaffected if the owners harbored tapeworms, although pigs owned by aTapeworm carrier had a four times higher seroincidence compared with other pigs.

Serological characterization and antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus suis isolates from diagnostic samples in Denmark during 1995 and 1996.
TL;DR: The distribution of serotypes of S. suis causing infections among pigs in Denmark has changed during the last 15 years, and the differences in susceptibility between isolates of serotype 2 and the other serotypes were statistically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction of a broad host range shuttle vector for gene cloning and expression in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other Pasteurellaceae.
TL;DR: A pair of broad host range expression vectors are constructed based on plasmid RSF1010, which enable cloning and efficient expression of genes in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella haemolytica and in Escherichia coli.
