TLDR
The effectiveness of trypsin/EDTA andtrypsin in reducing the number of embryos carrying virus was similar and both treatments rendered all embryos noninfectious when they were exposed to less than 106 focus forming unit (FFU)/ml of HCV but failed to remove the virus from 21 to 27% of the embryos when they are exposed to levels of virus exceeding 106 FFU/ml.

The dangers of disease transmission by artificial insemination and embryo transfer

TL;DR: The evidence for and against the possibility of infectious agents being transmitted between animals via the venereal route or by the use of semen or early embryos in commercial artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer (ET) is presented.

Disinfection procedures for controlling microorganisms in the semen and embryos of humans and farm animals.

TL;DR: None can be recommended as a universal disinfection method for rendering semen and embryos free from all potentially pathogenic microorganisms, and some procedures are unsuitable, as they can compromise the viability of semen or embryos.

Susceptibility of pig embryos to porcine circovirus type 2 infection

TL;DR: It can be stated that PCV2 is able to replicate in in vivo produced ZP-free morulae and blastocysts and that the susceptibility increases during development.

A congenital persistent swine fever infection. I. Clinical and virological observations

TL;DR: The infection is characterized by persistent viraemia, continuous virus excretion and late onset of disease, with death occurring 2–11 months after birth, and the importance of “healthy" virus carriers for the epizootiology of the disease is discussed.
