TL;DR: A remarkable decline in the frequency of beta-haemolytic and O141 serovars of Escherichia coli was observed in the intestinal contents of probiotic piglets, suggesting an explanation for the reduction in cytotoxic T-cell populations.

A review of viral diseases of the European wild boar: effects of population dynamics and reservoir rôle.
TL;DR: This review considers the current scientific knowledge of the effects of viral diseases on wild boar populations and their rôle as potential disease reservoirs and focuses on those viral diseases of domestic swine and wild boars that are included as notifiable by the OIE.

The Family Herpesviridae: General Description, Taxonomy, and Classification
TL;DR: The virions of the various herpesviruses cannot be differentiated by electron-microscopic examination, but are readily differentiated on the basis of biological properties, the immunological specificity of their virions, and the size, base composition, and arrangement of their genomes.

The Porcine Acute Phase Response to Infection with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Haptoglobin, C-Reactive Protein, Major Acute Phase Protein and Serum Amyloid A Protein Are Sensitive Indicators of Infection
Peter M. H. Heegaard,Joan Klausen,Jens Nielsen,Nieves González-Ramón,Matilde Piñeiro,Fermín Lampreave,María A. Alava +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that experimental Ap-infection by the aerosol route induces a typical acute phase reaction in the pig, and that pig Hp, CRP, MAP, and SAA are major acute phase reactants.

TL;DR: A voluntary regional program to involve all herds present within an area that has been relatively successful and reflects local leadership, a cooperative spirit, and a will to eliminate virus from the region is considered.
