Biological Transmission of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (New Jersey Serotype) by Simulium vittatum (Diptera: Simuliidae) to Domestic Swine (Sus scrofa)
Daniel G. Mead,Elmer W. Gray,Raymond Noblet,Molly D. Murphy,Elizabeth W. Howerth,David E. Stallknecht +5 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence presented here clearly demonstrates that VSV-NJ was transmitted from black flies to the swine, and represents the first report of clinical vesicular stomatitis in a livestock host after virus transmission by an insect.

Breeding soundness examination of the boar
TL;DR: Routine breeding soundness examinations on boars can help to identify poor or questionable breeders before they affect herd fertility and/or destroy an AI stud’s reputation.

Estimation of the dynamics and rate of transmission of classical swine fever (hog cholera) in wild pigs.
TL;DR: Methods for estimating key model parameters, the transmission coefficient (beta) and the basic reproductive rate (RDRS), are described using classical swine fever (hog cholera) in wild pigs as an example and the tentative results indicate that an acute infection of classical Swine fever will establish in a small population of wild pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feto-maternal anchorage in epitheliochorial and endotheliochorial placental types studied by histology and microvascular corrosion casts
TL;DR: The three-dimensional representation of placental vasculature by scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts, and subsequent comparison to conventional histology, helps to explain different patterns of feto-maternal placental anchoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aujeszky's disease virus infection patterns in European wild boar
TL;DR: The results provide evidence for latency of ADV in wild boars and stress the fact that antibody detection based tests may fail to detect a proportion of recently infected animals.
