Disruption of srtA gene in Streptococcus suis results in decreased interactions with endothelial cells and extracellular matrix proteins

TL;DR: Results indicate that surface proteins anchored by sortase A are required for a normal level of bacterial binding, however, other factors may also be important for S. suis virulence and interaction with host tissues.

Serological profiles after consecutive experimental infections of pigs with European H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2 swine influenza viruses
TL;DR: In this paper, the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test was used to discriminate between infections with the three SIV subtypes, i.e., H1N1, H3N2, and H 1N2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation for resistance to clinical and subclinical diseases exists in growing pigs
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that additive genetic variation for resistance to clinical and subclinical diseases does exist in growing pigs, and suggests that selective breeding for resistance could be suggested.

Calicivirus pathogenic for swine: a new serotype isolated from opaleye Girella nigricans, an ocean fish
TL;DR: A new calicivirus, designated San Miguel sea lion virus type 7 (SMSV-7), was isolated from fish and produced a disease condition identical to vesicular exanthema in experimentally infected swine.

TL;DR: Assessing the serotype distribution and the production of virulence-associated markers by strains recovered from diseased pigs in the United States showed that among the 100 strains evaluated, serotype 3 (20% of the isolates) and serotype 2 (17%) were the most prevalent.
