Journal ArticleDOI
Coinfection of pigs with porcine respiratory coronavirus and Bordetella bronchiseptica.
TL;DR: There appears to be a synergistic effect between PRCV and B. bronchiseptica with regards to proinflammatory cytokine transcription that may partially explain the increased severity of pneumonia in coinfected pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotypic diversity of Haemophilus parasuis field strains.
TL;DR: The analysis of partial sequences of hsp60 and 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed the presence of a separate lineage of virulent strains and indicated the occurrence of lateral gene transfer among H. parasuis and Actinobacillus strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene Families Encoding Phase- and Size-Variable Surface Lipoproteins of Mycoplasma hyorhinis
TL;DR: Conservation provides a provisional basis to hypothesize that vlp genes may exist in specific arrays that endow selected functions while retaining common structural features required during phase-variable expression of this set of gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluids of Pigs by PCR

TL;DR: The investigation shows that the PCR with DNA extracted from BALFs is a suitable technique for the sensitive and specific in vivo detection of M. hyopneumoniae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccine efficacy of the attenuated Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae YS-19 expressing a recombinant protein of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae P97 adhesin against mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine.
TL;DR: Animal experiments revealed that intranasal immunization of pigs with the YS-19 strain significantly reduced the severity of pneumonic lung lesions caused by M. hyopneumoniae infection.
