The effect of probiotic LSP 122 on the control of post-weaning diarrhoea syndrome of piglets.
S. C. Kyriakis,V. K. Tsiloyiannis,J. Vlemmas,K. Sarris,A. C. Tsinas,C. Alexopoulos,L. Jansegers +6 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the high dosage schedule of LSP 122, providing 10(7)viable spores of B. licheniformis per g of feed, is a very useful agent for the control of PWDS due to ETEC.

Genetic characterization of H3N2 influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America, 1977-1999: evidence for wholly human and reassortant virus genotypes.
Alexander I. Karasin,Melissa M. Schutten,Lynn A. Cooper,Catherine B. Smith,Kanta Subbarao,G. A. Anderson,Suzanne Carman,Christopher W. Olsen +7 more
TL;DR: The full-length protein coding regions of all eight RNA segments from four H3N2 viruses isolated from pigs in the Midwestern U.S. are sequenced, showing that these viruses are reassortant viruses containing hemagglutinin, neuraminidase and PB1 polymerase genes from human influenza viruses, matrix, non-structural and nucleoprotein genes from classical swine viruses, and PA and PB2 polymerases genes from avian viruses.

Probiotics, prebiotics and competitive exclusion for prophylaxis against bacterial disease.
Todd R. Callaway,Tom S. Edrington,Robin C. Anderson,Roger B. Harvey,Kenneth J. Genovese,C. N. Kennedy,D. W. Venn,David J. Nisbet +7 more
TL;DR: The ecology behind the efficacy of probiotics, prebiotics and competitive exclusion cultures against pathogens found in food animals, including those that enter the food chain and impact human consumers is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional influences on some major enteric bacterial diseases of pig.
TL;DR: Greater understanding of how ‘nutrition’ influences gut epithelial biology and immunobiology, and their interactions with both commensal and pathogenic bacteria, holds promise as a means of tackling enteric disease without antimicrobial agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus: a continuing enigma.
TL;DR: Determining whether pandemic influenza virus strains can emerge via different pathways will affect the scope and focus of surveillance and prevention efforts.
